Of all of the fantastic animated shows on television<\/a>, few can compare with Rick and Morty<\/em><\/a> when it comes to its cleverly written storylines and wonderfully unique characters<\/a>. In Rick Sanchez, the show has one of the most complicated protagonists on television, while in Morty, it boasts a character that’s teeming with potential for personal growth and general character development.<\/p>\n

Over the course of four seasons, the pair have shared some incredibly memorable adventures<\/a>, although there are some episodes that shine just a little brighter than the others. Whether due to the part that they play in a larger, overarching story<\/a> or simply a moment of sheer comedy brilliance, these episodes set themselves apart from the rest and are a must-watch for anybody who enjoys animated comedy shows<\/a>.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Rick Potion\u00a0#9 (S01, E06)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

As time has passed, Rick and Morty<\/em>‘s format has gradually shifted from episodic to serial, and this has, in turn, allowed the show’s writers to tell some fantastic season-spanning stories. While it’s definitely improved the show as a whole, the\u00a0change\u00a0has come at the cost of episodes like\u00a0Rick Potion #9 which perfectly punctuated the show’s fantastic first season.<\/p>\n

The Cronenberg creatures that Rick inadvertently creates are the stuff of nightmares<\/a> and ultimately force Rick and Morty to abandon their own universe.\u00a0The idea of them having to bury their own corpses upon their\u00a0arrival is seriously messed up<\/a>. So too is their decision to leave the rest of the Smith family behind in the Cronenberg universe.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Star Mort Rickturn Of The Jerri (S04, E10)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Not every storyline in Rick and Morty<\/em> provides an immediate payoff, with some taking years to make their mark. This was certainly the case with Space Beth, who Rick created towards the end of season three, some\u00a0two and a half years prior to her eventual return to earth. She’s not the only familiar face in\u00a0the episode\u00a0though, with two other long-forgotten characters also brought back into the fold.<\/p>\n

As is the case with most things, two Beths are definitely better than one, and seeing how Space Beth has changed as a result of her leaving the\u00a0family makes for some interesting viewing<\/a>. Rick having to square off against his old friend, Phoenix Person (a.k.a. Bird Person), is also pretty cool. However, Rick being forced to finally confront his failings as a father<\/a> ultimately seems far more meaningful in the grand scheme of things.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Pickle Rick (S03, E03)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Some people will go to great lengths in order to avoid conflict. Even to them though, turning oneself into a pickle probably seems a little extreme. That’s not to say that it isn’t funny, though, and the resulting struggles\u00a0that Rick faces to return to his human form are equally enjoyable.<\/p>\n

The whole concept is ridiculous on every level<\/a> and yet is\u00a0very much in keeping with the general tone of the show. The writers have never been\u00a0afraid to take things in strange and unexpected directions<\/a>, and this is just another example of them doing so – albeit, an extreme one. It’s because of this that Pickle Rick worked so well as a Rick and Morty<\/em> episode and ultimately became a meme in the months that followed.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>The Ricks Must Be Crazy (S02, E06)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Rick has done some terrible things during his lifetime<\/a>, but creating an entire civilization and tricking them into generating electricity for his ship just might be the very worst. Even so, it leads to some hilarious moments and the introduction of a new character who just might match Rick in the evil schemes department.<\/p>\n

The similarities and eventual conflict between Rick and the\u00a0Miniverse Mayor are what makes this episode such a good watch, although the Summer side-plot can be just as enjoyable at times. It’s not often that Rick encounters somebody\u00a0who is on the same level as him, and although he ultimately prevails, one likes to believe that he at least learned a thing or two from the experience.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>The Wedding Squanchers (S02, E10)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

From\u00a0Gearhead to\u00a0Abrodolph Lincoler, Rick has made some incredibly bizarre acquaintances<\/a>\u00a0while exploring the universes. Although most of them seem to annoy him,\u00a0there are\u00a0one or two who the intrepid inventor would call his friends, and\u00a0when one of these (bird)people decides to tie the knot,\u00a0Rick\u00a0begrudgingly\u00a0agrees to attend the wedding.<\/p>\n

Of course, the ceremony\u00a0ends up being a trap, and although Rick and the Smith family are able to escape, the spiky-haired scientist ultimately decides to turn himself in to spare his family from a life on the run. It’s one of the very few times that he puts others before himself and shows a side to Rick that had been noticeably absent up to that point.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Close Rick-Counters Of The Rick Kind (S01, E10)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

“Close Rick-Counters of\u00a0the Rick Kind” introduces the Council of Ricks; a group of trans-dimensional Ricks\u00a0who arrest\u00a0Rick C-137 for one of the very few crimes that he didn’t commit. The audience also gets their first glimpse of Evil Morty, who\u00a0turns out to\u00a0be the one who framed Rick, and ends the episode disappearing into a large crowd of other Mortys.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0The 10 Best South Park Episodes, According To IMDb<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The episode does a fantastic job exploring the concept of multiple universes<\/a> while also highlighting the ongoing plight of the Mortys.\u00a0Their mistreatment at the hands of Ricks is shown to be systematic, and it’s this that makes the idea of an evil Morty so very believable. It also shows\u00a0Rick C-137 to be the very best of the Ricks, although it could perhaps be argued that he’s actually the very worst depending on how one looks at things.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>The Vat Of Acid Episode (S04, E08)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Many of the show’s characters have changed pretty drastically throughout its four seasons on the air,\u00a0but it’s perhaps Morty who has changed the most. Having started out as Rick’s doormat, he’s now a lot more confident and is no\u00a0longer afraid to stand up to his grandfather.\u00a0This doesn’t sit well with Rick, however, and creates conflict that the show’s writers are more than happy to explore.<\/p>\n

“The Vat Of Acid Episode” sees Morty criticize Rick’s escape plan and then goading his grandfather into creating a save point button that allows Morty to rewind time. Just as Rick had hoped though, the device ends up causing Morty more pain than pleasure and ultimately leads to Morty having to concede that Rick’s earlier idea wasn’t terrible. The lengths that Rick is willing to go to in order to prove a point are insane and show that while the Smith family may have changed, Rick remains very much the same.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>The Rickshank Rickdemption (S03, E01)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Following Rick’s incarceration at the end of season two, fans of the show were left with an anxious wait<\/a> to find out the fate of their favorite\u00a0foul-mouthed inventor. Thankfully,\u00a0Adult Swim opted to release the season three premiere a few months earlier than expected, making it available to stream for several hours as part of\u00a0the network’s\u00a0annual\u00a0April Fools Day celebrations.<\/p>\n

The episode itself features some hilarious moments, although it ultimately serves as yet another reminder of Rick’s unparalleled genius. He’s able to see right through the Galactic Federation’s ruse and escapes the prison with relative ease. The Cronenberg Smiths also make an appearance, as too does the Council of Ricks. The episode ends with Rick ranting about his love of McDonald’s Szechuan sauce, which eventually\u00a0led to the food vendor bringing it back for a limited period.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>The Ricklantis Mixup (S03, E07)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Rather than tagging along for Rick and Morty’s trip to Atlantis, viewers are instead treated to a grand tour of the newly rebuilt Citadel of Ricks. The episode centers mainly around the upcoming\u00a0presidential election and Evil Morty’s attempt to seize power. There are plenty of other interesting subplots<\/a> mixed in there as well, though, and these help to\u00a0flesh things out a little more.<\/p>\n

The parallels between Morty Town and the\u00a0typical American city are clear for all to see, and the disenfranchised Mortys who reside there perfectly capture the apathy\u00a0that many Americans\u00a0feel toward the country’s electoral system. With Evil Morty eventually taking control and eliminating all of the Ricks who oppose him, the episode sets up a tantalizing future conflict, while simultaneously picking up on a long-neglected story<\/a> thread.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Total Rickall (S02, E04)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

For a show that regularly takes viewers\u00a0to distant worlds and parallel universes<\/a>, it’s perhaps a little ironic that the best episode of Rick and Morty<\/em> takes place exclusively in the Smith home. Total Rickall may be built around a somewhat simplistic premise, but the show’s writers\u00a0are\u00a0able to stretch it out to ridiculous lengths, and the resulting\u00a0episode is absolutely hilarious as a result.<\/p>\n

Each new character that shows up is more preposterous than the last, yet there’s never a point where it stops being funny. That it’s ultimately their terrible treatment of each other that saves the Smith family\u00a0is a\u00a0great and unexpected twist, while the revelation that Mr. Poopybutthole was real all along serves as the perfect punchline to the episode’s peculiar plot.<\/p>\n
