That's why I make a second Mr Meeseeks to protect me until the day I die...of natural causes
Phrased like that, it makes it sound like you created the first Mr. Meeseeks solely for the purpose of torturing it. The second one too, really.
I know it's never going to happen but I would love it if we got some backstory on how the Mr. Meeseeks Box came to exist
New theme music also a boxYou take a meeseeks, and you put it in a box...
I prefer to imagine that Rick invented and patented them while piss drunk and then forgot about it. I mean, creating a Servant Race who feel pain every second of their existence to motivate them is something Rick would do. It's not any more screwed up than creating a micro universe whose population is devoted to you just to power a car battery.

Disgusted, but not surprisedI imagine it as something like his microverse car battery. He made a machine with a portal to a whole other dimension in it, and when you press the button, a random meeseeks from the dimension is teleported to their world.
" I'm the princess! Everyone has to do what I say!"> You take a meeseeks, and you put it in a box...
yes but how do you get the meeseeks in there
New theme music also a boxI don't think Meeseeks was being literal about the pain part. I think he was just borrowing the expression "life is pain".
Considering Rick's phrasing and the way they act and even look for a while, I choose to think we're supposed to take it literally.
Is it my imagination or was Rick nicer to Morty in earlier episodes? He seems like a bigger dick in season 3.
My guess is losing his best and only friend, getting betrayed by Jerry, and going to Space Alcatraz all in one day turned him into even more of an asshole.
It's been 3000 years…Why didn't Rick create a race of mini-Meeseeks to power his microverse?
Rick's inventions are incredibly ingenious and advanced but they are very far from being efficient.
He's more interested in doing things as opposed to doing it in the best way possible.
When building his gadgets, he doesn't try to minimize human suffering or environmental impacts. He also doesn't really show a tendency to re-use technologies: every object he makes seems to be relatively unique and self-contained. Whatever powers his portal gun doesn't seem to have anything to do with his car battery for example.
All of this to say that he isn't using Meeseeks in the car battery probably because he doesn't care enough to optimize how it works.
Rick is only logical when he can use logic to verbally smack people around.
Did they have to renew this for 70 more episodes? Even if they'd wanted 70, wouldn't it be smarter to keep that under wraps and just dole out 10-20 in increments.
30-40 episodes makes me go, "yes, it's continuing!" Seventy makes me go, "jesus, this show is going to be on for awhile." Keeping the show fresh is going to be a challenge.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!My biggest fear is that they'll end up like the Simpsons ie. no longer funny,but churning out episodes all the same to satisfy the network's demands
New theme music also a boxCase in point: the Butter Passing Robot.
I mean, I'd argue that it hit a teeny bit of Seasonal Rot sometime around mid-season 2 already, not sure what it's going to look like in 70 episodes.
"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"I love that clip, it's what made me interested in Rick and Mort in the first place
"Sandwiches are probably easier to fix than the actual problems" -HylarnWouldn't be strong seasonal rot just yet. The one Season 3 episode that focuses mostly on the different Rick and Mortys is outright my favorite episode of the entire show so far.
I mean, I am genuinely worried about rot happening. Depends on how much Harmon can dial back Roiland's antics because...well frankly I have a bit of a grudge against Roiland and think that he's really not that funny when he's by himself.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?I mean, why would Rick do things as efficiently as possibly when a large of the reason he does what he does is in order to fill the void. You don't try and cut back time with that.
I mean, if they know they have that many episodes to make, they might set up more story arcs or the like. The good news is that if they order a bunch of seasons NOW, we probably won't have such huge hiatuses between seasons in the future.
It's funny, because I always thought Roiland tempered some of Harmon's over-indulgence and self-loathing habits that would manifest into the show from time to time.
Latest blog update (November 5th, 2022).Frankly, Roiland's self indulgence is worse than Harmon's. Roiland is a huge edgelord whose improv can be grating when he goes on for way too long and whose attempts at being "shocking" get really old really fast. Just look at his old shorts, especially the one Rick and Morty was based off of.

The Mr Meeseeks kills you because the order confuses it
