- "Meeseeks and Destroy" (Season 1, episode 5) If you're new to the series and need a perfect starter episode, this would be it. Blending sci-fi and fantasy with quippy chaos, Rick leaves the family with an annoying invention that conjures the most note-worthy of side characters, Mr. Meeseeks.
- "Rick Potion #9" (Season 1, episode 6) The first few episodes of Rick and Morty were fun little sci-fi adventures — by contrast, this David Cronenberg-inspired episode is where things really got serious.
- "Rixty Minutes" (Season 1, episode 8) Ever wondered what it would be like to watch what feels like a completely improvised cartoon? Introducing: Interdimensional Cable.
- "Something Ricked This Way Comes" (Season 1, episode 9) Tuck in for a supernatural take on the age old warning to be careful what you wish for. While Rick deals with de-cursing haunted objects out of spite, Jerry's curse of being an absolute flaccid human is on full display when he gaslights himself (and some aliens) into believing that Pluto is still a planet.

- “The Ricklantis Mixup” (3.7) Rick and Morty go off on “a fun, fresh, self-contained adventure” to Atlantis that we never see. Instead, we watch “Tales From the Citadel."
- “Total Rickall” (2.4) The single best opening to any episode ever happens during “Total Rickall” when Rick realizes that “Uncle Steve” is an evil alien parasite and shoots him in the head.
- “Pickle Rick” (3.3) Rick would rather risk dying than go to family therapy, so he’s left stranded as a pickle. When he winds up rolling into the sewer, he has to battle roaches, rats, and eventually even Russian secret agents and Danny Trejo’s Jaguar.
- "The Vat of Acid Episode" (4.8) If the story train episode is Rick and Morty going big-brain brilliant, then "The Vat of Acid Episode" where Rick commits to a truly stupid scheme (faking their deaths in a fake vat of acid) just for fun is the epitome of lowbrow brilliance.

This episode gets exceptionally dark in the Rick and Morty plotline, as Rick allows Morty to choose the adventure for once, leading to a scene with a predatory jellybean that is not played for laughs. But the family storyline back on Earth makes up for that with its version of “light.” With the introduction of the Meeseeks Box (and the single-use h...
It may seem hard to believe, considering the entirety of the series, but there are actually memories that have been deemed too traumatic for Morty to remember. Those are “Morty’s Mind Blowers.” On the list of terrible things Rick has done to Morty, removing his most traumatic memories doesn’t seem that bad. But as the episode quickly reveals, Rick’...
It’s a Rick and Morty and Summer adventure, as the trio ends up on a planet controlled by a hive entity known as Unity, Rick’s ex. Rick dragging Unity down to his level goes from a fun (and nasty) party romp to a downright race war that Morty and Summer have to navigate, culminating in Unity abandoning the planet because it knows that it can’t be w...
A lot about “Rick and Morty” shouldn’t work, especially on an emotional level, when you consider how absurd it is. For example, the friendship between Rick and Birdperson. Or even the Birdperson and Tammy romance, considering how it was formed in Season 1’s “Ricksy Business.” And yet the wedding toast Rick ultimately gives does work. As does Birdpe...
Don’t mess with the original. While “Rick and Morty” has gone to the sequel well a couple of times when it comes to Interdimensional Cable, there’s just something about the original episode that stands a cut above the rest. Perhaps it’s because of the “almost improvisational tone” that Roiland brings to his (and others’) voice acting in this episod...
To quote Rick, “Look at all these zany, wacky characters!” And in a series that introduces plenty of zany, wacky characters on a weekly basis, that says a lot. According to “Rick and Morty” writer Ryan Ridley, the episode was inspired by the introduction of Buffy Summers’ younger sister, Dawn, in the fifth season of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” — a c...
Halfway through its first season, “Rick and Morty” completely changes how the audience should expect to watch it. A seemingly run of the mill episode about Morty using a love potion leads to Rick and Morty having to abandon the Earth they — and the audience —know as theirs (due to the population becoming Cronenbergs), move on to a new, similar real...
The “Rick and Morty” pilot could be a bit of a difficult entry point into the series, as it’s about as much the opposite of a premise pilot as one can get, almost in a Rick-esque attempt to keep the audience at arm’s length from the jump. But those who stuck along for the cosmic ride were immediately treated for their patience with “Lawnmower Dog.”...
In case you’ve forgotten the time that Rick and Morty took a majestic, life-changing trip to Atlantis, it’s worth noting that this episode is also known as “Tales from the Citadel.” While our Rick and Morty spend time in the lost city — offscreen — the series checks in on the Citadel of Ricks in the aftermath of the death of the Council of Ricks. N...
Like so many episodes of “Rick and Morty,” “Pickle Rick” is an episode that, by all sane logic, shouldn’t work at all. And yet, it’s the episode that won the series its first Emmy. The premise is simple: Rick gets into a pickle (by transforming himself into a pickle) and becomes the star of his very own hyper-violent action film… all as a means to ...
