Best Rick and Morty Episodes

The Top Ten
1 The Ricklantis Mixup

When I saw this episode, it instantly became my favorite. A nice, relaxing adventure in Atlantis. Am I right?

Seriously though, this episode was phenomenal. The story was great, and the characters were great, too. I'm not going to spoil anything here since this episode is new as of me writing this, but I went into this episode knowing nothing about it. I suggest that you do the same if you haven't seen it yet.

This episode is overwhelming and, for me, by far the best one. It is the perfect metaphor for our society and combines some of the most controversial topics all in one episode. The arrangement of scenes is also genius and makes one big flow out of four plotlines.

Nothing is more satisfying to watch in this show than the ending of this episode. It just pushes it to the top.

2 Total Rickall

There is pure action and entertainment sprinkled all throughout this episode. It's no wonder that it's the most popular episode of the series.

It has to be Total Rickall! No doubt, it was the most entertaining, most interesting, most creative, and perfect storyline. This is by far my favorite episode.

3 Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind

I like it that the Mortys were tortured. That's what Morty deserves for blaming Rick for the love potion that he was irresponsible with.

Really interesting plot, brilliant and funny dialogue, and just 100% what we expect from Rick and Morty.

One of the things that really got me into this show.

4 The Rickshank Rickdemption

This is, without doubt, the greatest episode of Rick and Morty. It was the funniest, darkest, most epic, and most clever. One of the most emotional episodes, and this isn't mentioning the ending, which was surprising, hilarious, and a great reference to the pilot.

For me, every Rick and Morty episode is kind of hit or miss. Either it is okay, or it is amazing! Even the amazing episodes have at least one element that I dislike about them. This episode is the exception!

It perfectly balances everything that is great about the show. It ties in a lot of other episodes without feeling crowded. Amazing.

5 Lawnmower Dog

The most underrated episode. It shows the perfect formula for the show: give Morty's family a distraction which ends up backfiring while Rick and Morty go on an adventure. Loved the Inception references.

I like this episode because at the beginning the dog pees on the carpet and Jerry (Morty's dad) pushes his head on the urine.

Where are my testicles, Summer?

6 Rick Potion #9

This one was so funny when everyone was lusting for Morty. The principal was especially funny!

This set the tone of the series for me. It's dark and messed up, but it's also funny.

This episode brought the show from a great show to a complete TV masterpiece.

7 Meeseeks and Destroy

The Meeseeks crack me up every time. Even though their voice is a little ridiculous, they never annoy me and make me laugh. There's something about them. I also very much enjoyed how dumb Jerry was. The side quest with Morty's adventure was pretty great. I loved the loving connection between Rick and Morty too. Perfect episode, in my opinion.

I really enjoyed this one. The Meeseeks were quite entertaining and it was sweet how Rick comforted Morty after the jellybean incident.

8 Pickle Rick

Definitely one of my favorites of season 3. Plus, it was the first episode I watched from this show!

Great writing, beautiful animation, and action scenes. Definitely the best episode.

I turned myself into a pickle, Morty! I'm Pickle Rick!

9 Rixty Minutes

This episode had a great ending.

10 The Wedding Squanchers

This isn't necessarily the best episode, but I teared up when Rick drops the photo of himself, Birdperson, and Squanchy.

It was awesome how they played Nine Inch Nails' Hurt at the end.

The Contenders
11 The Ricks Must Be Crazy

I don't know how this is so low on the list at #7. It was really good all the way through. Total Rickall is overrated. It was just random. To be honest, I'm going to upset some people, but I thought Mortynight Run was the worst episode. Usually, lower episodes will have a few things going for them, but not that one. It only had the Moonmen song, which showed random trippy moments. Honestly, I felt like that episode should never have come out. It was like it was made for potheads or people doing shrooms.

You take away those two song parts, and there are literally no good parts or any decent plot in the whole episode. It's trash! But The Ricks Must Be Crazy was a rollercoaster all the way through.

12 A Rickle in Time
13 M. Night Shaym-Aliens!

I just love all the glitches. The glitching kickball, the boss walking into the corner, the hot dogs and bun in the middle, all that weird stuff.

A simulation within a simulation inside another simulation!

Jerry's best day ever. More like best Jerry episode.

14 Look Who's Purging Now

This one is seriously underrated. I really enjoyed this one, and The Ricks Must Be Crazy really surprised me. It was really good. Total Rickall was okay. It was just random and weird. It didn't really have a twist or good plot. I don't know why it's up there. Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind was overrated. It was good, but didn't live up to the hype for me.

15 Mortynight Run

An underrated episode. The art and writing are stunning, and I wish this episode got more recognition.

Really loved this episode! Especially the song Goodbye Moonmen. It was speechless to hear. Also, an amazing plot twist.

My life is a joke! *Drives ship into the ground.*

16 Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender
17 Rattlestar Ricklatica
18 Anatomy Park
19 The Vat of Acid Episode

This episode is much better than all of the others in season 4.

20 Get Schwifty

This episode should be higher on the list. It was so good! The plot was creative and entertaining. Also, even though this is Adult Swim, there actually was still a subtle moral in there (which is great! You're never too old for morals). Morty learned not to abandon the ones you care about when they're in need and to have faith in their abilities. Rick was by far at his most likable self in this episode, and when he hugged Morty in the end, it was so sweet! Overall, I really enjoyed Get Schwifty and it should be ranked higher on this list.

21 Tales from The Citadel

Personally, it's my favorite of season three, and my second favorite in the series. Great episode!

22 Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate

I refuse to sign the legislation that allows Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate to be this low on the list because it is a great episode despite what Justin Roiland said.

I was shocked to see this not even in the top 20. This was by far the funniest episode ever. When I watched it high, the randomness of it was just gold.
