Rick and Morty Episode Ratings
I'm watching through the series, and just going to write down my personal ratings and thoughts for each episode
| Season | Episode | Title | Rating (out of 5) | Notes |
| 1 | 1 | Pilot | 5 | The start of it all, a must watch. Perfect pacing, love the cold open and "They're robots Morty!" |
| 1 | 2 | Lawnmower Dog | 4 | I enjoy the inception knock off storyline the most, the bit where they're deep inside the dreams having to remind themselves of the plot is too perfect. |
| 1 | 3 | Anatomy Park | 4 | The image of a gigantic dead old man being exploded above the US is amazing, plus Jerry's dad jumping in the closet with a superman costume is perfect. "Would you like to ride the bone train?" |
| 1 | 4 | M. Night Shaym-Aliens! | 4 | I love trying to figure out when Rick knew that he was still in a simulation, and wondering if he suspected Morty was a fake. "Hungry for apples?" |
| 1 | 5 | Meeseeks and Destroy | 4 | "I'm Mr. Meeseeks!" Iconic, not to be missed. A little uncomfortable with the jellybean scene though. |
| 1 | 6 | Rick Potion #9 | 6 | The actual best episode in the entire series. I love Jerry's character arc here, and the solution to the main problem really elevates the lore. |
| 1 | 7 | Raising Gazorpazorp | 3 | Not terrible but not very impactful, plus somewhat problematic with its gender essentialism, though you could take it as parody. |
| 1 | 8 | Rixty Minutes | 5 | Improvised nonsense at its best, the first anthology episode of the series has to be the best. "It's just two brothers. . . " |
| 1 | 9 | Something Ricked this Way Comes | 4 | The pluto storyline is boring, but you don't want to miss this one for the iconic bits, like Summer and Rick getting roided up to beat down bullies, and "You pass butter." "Oh my god." |
| 1 | 10 | Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind | 5 | First episode that introduces a substantial continuity and expands the lore. Hard to forget the Evil Morty music. |
| 1 | 11 | Ricksy Business | 4 | Can't miss the introduction to Bird Person, of course. Solid episode. |
| 2 | 1 | A Rickle in Time | 5 | I love this type of "high concept" sci fi. The B story with the Titanic was pretty boring though. |
| 2 | 2 | Mortynight Run | 4 | I'm not a huge fan of the moonman song, but this episode has some of the best one liners "Oh boy, here I go killing again!" |
| 2 | 3 | Auto Erotic Assimilation | 4 | Somewhat thought provoking. |
| 2 | 4 | Total Rickall | 5 | Classic Rick and Morty. I'm still not convinced Mr Poopybutthole isn't a memory parasite. |
| 2 | 5 | Get Schwifty | 4 | A lot of laughs, what else can I say? Except "Get schwifty!" |
| 2 | 6 | The Ricks must be Crazy | 5 | The best episode of the season. "Keep Summer safe." Perfect execution of a clever concept, and hilarious through the whole episode. |
| 2 | 7 | Big Trouble in Little Sanchez | 5 | "Get your shit together, put it in a backpack, just get it together." I was laughing the whole time, so many good bits. I like Jerry's solution to the B story, I wonder what happened to goddess Beth. |
| 2 | 8 | Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate | 4 | Not as funny as the first, but still funny. |
| 2 | 9 | Look Who's Purging Now | 4 | Funny, but a little too gratuitously violent for me. |
| 2 | 10 | The Wedding Squanchers | 5 | I love the lore episodes. Having just read "The Sociopath Next Door," I was beginning to think of Rick as a sociopath, but he does appear to have something of a conscience here. It's fun to think about! |
| 3 | 1 | The Rickshank Rickdemption | 5 | I'm craving szechuan sauce now. Okay, maybe Rick is just a sociopath. It's still fun to watch him outsmart everyone around him. |
| 3 | 2 | Rickmancing the Stone | 3 | This one feels a bit preachy or forced with its "moral." Still has a few funny bits though. |
| 3 | 3 | Pickle Rick | 5 | "I'm pickle Rick!" There's a good reason that this one gets memed so much. Solid, fun story, decent monologue by the therapist. |
| 3 | 4 | Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender | 5 | I guess we're just trashing on Rick this season, and I'm loving it! |
| 3 | 5 | The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy | 4 | It's got some strong moments and some weak moments. Am I grading these too well, or was early Rick and Morty just this good? |
| 3 | 6 | Rest and Ricklaxation | 3 | "In and out, 20 minute adventure!" Kept my attention at least. |
| 3 | 7 | The Ricklantis Mixup | 5 | Honestly kinda feels prescient, with the assassination attempt on the Morty candidate and then the very quick changes in the Citidel after the election. This one is the best episode in the season. |
| 3 | 8 | Morty's Mind Blowers | 4 | Not as good as Interdimensional Cable, but a good few laughs here and there. |
| 3 | 9 | The ABC's of Beth | 4 | "Don't jump a gift shark in the mouth" This one loses points for the very gross cannibal-incest plot point, but gains points for Beth's character arc. |
| 3 | 10 | The Rickchurian Mortydate | 3 | I'm ambivalent about this one. There are some funny bits, but I don't feel the ending with Jerry being reunited with his family is satisfying. I suppose that's the point, that Jerry and Rick are unlikeable for different reasons, and both are uncomfortable patriarchs. |
| 4 | 1 | Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat | 5 | "You little monster, I thought you were masturbating!" I love the concept of the death crystals and how Morty uses them. And the after credits reveal really pulls everything together. Best episode of the season |
| 4 | 2 | The Old Man and the Seat | 5 | OMG, confirmed, Rick uses Linux. Specifically he uses Debian, which is amazing. Also, this episode is very funny. Great character arcs. |
| 4 | 3 | One Crew over the Crewcoo's Nest | 5 | "You son of a bitch, I'm in!" I forgot "Elon Tusk" was in this. He's as terrible an actor as he is a...person. |
| 4 | 4 | Claw and Hoarder: Special Rick Tim's Morty | 2 | Maybe the first real dud in Rick and Morty. Boring, weird and unnecessarily sexual/incestuous. |
| 4 | 5 | Rattlestar Ricklactica | 4 | Time travel shenanigans. I'm pretty sure it doesn't make sense. Snake jazz. |
| 4 | 6 | Never Ricking Morty | 4 | Not as many laughs, but I love this kind of story. Very meta, with Story Lord. |
| 4 | 7 | Promortyus | 4 | I like the concept, and I like the way the story is revealed non linearly |
| 4 | 8 | The Vat of Acid Episode | 4 | OMG, Rick is such a psycho. Includes a great bit of non verbal storytelling. |
| 4 | 9 | Childrick of Mort | 4 | "Getting high and playing video games is the best!" |
| 4 | 10 | Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri | 4 | I do always like the lore episodes, and space Beth is a great addition to the cast. But this episode felt too short, like they tried to cram too much into 25 minutes. |
| 5 | 1 | Mort Dinner Rick Andre | 4 | Classic Rick and Morty. "Fuck off, I'm a time God!" |
| 5 | 2 | Mortyplicity | 5 | Another one of those sci fi concept episode that I really like. Decoys. My favorite episode of the season, except maybe the final episode? Best non-lore episode for sure. |
| 5 | 3 | A Rickconvenient Mort | 4 | I didn't laugh much, but I liked the stories of both Planetina and the apocalypses. The animation of Summer averting an apocalyse is actually really good. |
| 5 | 4 | Rickdependence Spray | 2 | Yuck. Was this necessary? I didn't give it the lowest rating because I did laugh a little. |
| 5 | 5 | Amortycan Grickfitti | 3 | Boring for the most part, but not terrible. It's the one with the demons who enjoy pain. |
| 5 | 6 | Rick & Morty's Thanksploitation Spectacular | 3 | Not particularly interesting but not offensive. |
| 5 | 7 | Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion | 4 | A point away for integration of the giant incest space baby, but otherwise I loved it. The voice overs were great! |
| 5 | 8 | Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort | 4 | More lore. Pretty good. |
| 5 | 9 | Forgetting Sarick Mortshall | 4 | "Rick and Two Crows forever!" |
| 5 | 10 | Rickmurai Jack | 5 | Satisfying ending (?) to Evil Morty's arc. Makes me think about philosophy and stuff. |
| 6 | 1 | Solaricks | 4 | Solid lore episode "Parmesian. Gross." |
| 6 | 2 | Rick: A Mort Well Lived | 4 | Solid, but not too many laughs. |
| 6 | 3 | Bethic Twinstinct | 4 | I found this funny. Is it bad that I think it's totally cool to make out with a clone of yourself? |
| 6 | 4 | Night Family | 3 | It's fine. I have lost all sense of whether my ratings have any kind of objective meaning |
| 6 | 5 | Final DeSmithation | 3 | It's fine, I actually laughed quite a bit, but it left me feeling empty...or maybe I just feel empty right now. |
| 6 | 6 | JuRicksic Mort | 3 | Actually pretty funny, but missing some kind of spark? |
| 6 | 7 | Full Meta Jackrick | 3 | Good concept with all the meta stuff, but actually kind of boring. Missing something, maybe heart? I don't know what that means. |
| 6 | 8 | Analyze Piss | 4 | I had a good couple of laughs, but ultimately, this one fails to feel very great. "Is that man dead?" "Is everything here confidential?" "Everything but murder" "Then he's fine." |
| 6 | 9 | A Rick in King Mortur's Mort | 2 | So boring. No stakes at all. Nice reference to the vat of acid episode though. |
| 6 | 10 | Ricktional Mortpoon's Rickmas Mortcation | 3 | Not too interesting, but not too bad. I ended up like Robot Rick |
| 7 | 1 | "How Poopy Got His Poop Back | 3 | Pretty generic |
| 7 | 2 | The Jerrick Trap | 5 | First episode that made me laugh hard in a while. The new amalgamation of Rick and Jerry are good. |
| 7 | 3 | Air Force Wong | 5 | I really liked the story of this one. I think I like Rick and Morty more for the fact that any crazy premise is possible, and the creators can deliver great stories based on those premises. Laughing out loud is a bonus, but not necessary for me to feel good after watching an episode. Like this one. This one's the one with Virginia |
| 7 | 4 | That's Amorte | 5 | Now I'm hungry for spaghetti. Just kidding. I laughed so hard. |
| 7 | 5 | Unmortricken | 5 | Holy shit. Great lore episode. I forgot everything about this episode since last time I watched it, including Evil Morty. Great characterization. |
| 7 | 6 | Rickfending Your Mort | 5 | "I'm a leg Morty!" This season's version of a clip show or anthology is very funny, and the framing story is good on its own as well. |
| 7 | 7 | Wet Kuat Amortican Summer | 2 | Not a fan. Maybe it's because I haven't seen Total Recall. Just kind of annoying and gross. |
| 7 | 8 | Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie | 3 | I guess not the worst? I didn't really enjoy it |
| 7 | 9 | Mort: Ragnarick | 4 | I liked this one. Not top quality, but close |
| 7 | 10 | Fear No Mort | 4 | Really good character arc, interesting concept, I wouldn't want to miss this one if I watched the series again, but it does feel like it's missing a little something. |
| 8 | 1 | Summer of All Fears | 4 | Funny! Pretty good start to the season |
