>without Jerry around to belittle, Beth is now pouring her vitriol on her kids >those passive-aggressive jabs and threats made at them to not make her look like the bad guy in front of the therapist >that implication that she now resents them for wanting her to act like their mother (i.e. caring about their emotions and accepting their vulnerabilities while helping them overcome their problems) >"And fuck both of you, too."
This is starting to get really messed up. If Jerry somehow manages to stumble his way into a decent job, he might actually get custody of the kids at this rate.
I feel like they're either setting us up for something like that toward the end of the season, but most likely it'll either end with them getting back together or the writers hand waving Beth's shittiness and making her the good guy at the end just so they can shit on Jerry some more.
Michael Fisher
>jerry redemption arc fucking yes
Jaxson Edwards
Beth is realizing that without Jerry around all the time she can't pass off the actions of the kids on him.
It's all her, 100% from now on. And that scares the living shit out of her, because of two things.
1. She can't blame Rick because she's literally put him above everything else at this point 2. She can't blame Jerry because he's not even there.
I'd also love it if Beth did get a complete Fuck You moment or two just so faggots would shut up about "Muh Female Writers"
People don't write with their dicks or their vaginas, they write with their assholes.
Gavin Martinez
PICKLE RIIIICK XDDD
Easton Rogers
Jerry gets the weekends with the kids, I think? Anyway, her feelings were pretty transparent and I think the lesson to take from this is to stay out of trouble so Mom doesn't get all up on their ass.
If Jerry had custody, the kids would be even more rebellious, I think.
Lucas Foster
She reminds me of my mom
Thomas Roberts
I'd love to see all the fans do a 180 on Jerry because the show simply told them to
Eli Gutierrez
DUDE SELF INSERT WRITERS LMAO
Blake Butler
i haven't watched any of the season 3 episodes yet but just by reading your thread OP it kinda sounds like something from family guy. just opinions, carry on
Christopher Rodriguez
>People don't write with their dicks or their vaginas, they write with their assholes. that is oddly poetic
Parker Davis
What this ep lacked in lauggs it made up for in Beth bashing. I like it.
David Cox
>She can't blame Jerry because he's not even there I don't think you fully understand how the female mind works.
Ryan Morgan
>implying the entire show wasn't about Jerry's need to man up and take control >implying they haven't been constructing a philosophical hierarchy where nihilism (Rick) is superior to a morality driven life led by somebody spineless (Jerry) but inferior to a morality driven life where the person embodies or self actualizes their beliefs (Jerry after getting his shit together)
Why do you think Rick's persona and nihilistic outlook only shine through when he's in complete control but collapse when he's in trouble? You see him literally praying to God when about to die at one point. He gets sanctimonious when the kids are on their tablets during Christmas. Nihilism is only better than living with purpose if you're weak like Jerry, who can conceptualize right and wrong and what's meaningful but is too pathetic to act it out or make it reality.
Carter Sullivan
No user, she can now blame everything on Jerry BECAUSE he's not even there.
Jaxon Lopez
@94483711 I dont think I could ever take this guy serious. EVERYTHING he says is wrong even if he's parrots what others say things that are true
Brayden Fisher
Family guy never has serious topics.
This is actually a mother who is being spiteful and mean...because they are human too and can be flawed...and some IRL mothers are like that and some of us can relate to that.
When women lose their sexual currency as they get older they seek power through nagging and making people feel guilty, now that the husband is gone it goes on the kids.
This is sad but real
I come from SO CAL, the land of single mothers raising shitty kids...
one benefit though is that the kids had their father for most of their child lives...having a divorce in their teenage lives will fuck them up and honestly fucks up people no matter how old but at least they know who their daddy is
>If that happens the Rick would have to move in with Jerry so he'd have access to Morty. Rick may have just screwed himself here.
Daniel Peterson
....
i really hope they take it this direction.
Juan Young
I don't see anything wrong with what he said.
Easton Anderson
>Steven meme >Sargon cuck Lmao let me guess, are marathoning Jordan Peteron too? I'm kidding I watched them all too but seriously man such a meme to link those guys especially Sargon
Nicholas Foster
Agreed
im a libertarian and cant stand him
Joseph Peterson
Good thing women in my country usually basically grows into caring grumpy old men.
James Price
maybe it's because he has maybe a god complex and puts himself in situatutions because he wants something to challege that complete control. He knows the is and outs of everything and just wants something to beat him. Like one punch man, too strong so everything is boring kinda thing.
Jeremiah Clark
Y'know it's a shame the internet has a clear pattern of creating spikes in popularity which end up devaluing what people say because it reduces the content to the same level of the lowest person engaging with that content. It makes it too easy to dismiss things as a fad because discussion is too saturated with their presence.
I hate trying to have a genuine discussion about some of Peterson's ideas and the discussion has already been reduced to spouting memes based on his common talking points and mannerisms. >dude lobsters lmao >dude dragons man
Ethan Young
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Beth is treating her kids terribly. Jerry was truly /our/ guy all along. Also will the dude that Beth remarries from the Jerry Day Care episode come back?
Michael Cook
Remember that time he tried to make a comment on one of his videos pretending to be a female fan but didn't log out of his main account?
Blake Brown
or that one time he misinterpreted data
Jacob Roberts
>Beth loses kids to Jerry and finally turns on Rick because he's the last person she has to blame >Beth is no longer around to stop Jerry from telling Rick to fuck off >Jerry won't let Rick see Morty anymore, and even Morty calls Rick out on it when he tries to do it anyway >Rick comes to the horrible realization that Beth and Jerry's marriage is indirectly the only thing keeping him happy
Aaron Williams
I'm actually dissapoited they aired this so soon, this kind of episode would have been way better latter in the seasonmid, but having it so early just means that everyone's going to guess that Jerry's going to get full custody by the end, and Rick being fucked since Jerry won't let him near Morty.
Jackson Reed
Or the time he blamed the Welfare State for him not being able to get a girlfriend, and not because he's a tool?
Robert Martin
Wow, only a show this smart could be this stupid
Justin Butler
Pussies are a half inch away user. It's why it's hard for them smear shit on paper.
Carson Nguyen
I know what you mean buts come on man , you have to admit some of it is pretty funny. Also dude ____ lmao! Is my favorite way to make anything sound dumb and I just assume people who post them are just in it for shits and giggles
Tyler Rivera
Also...do cockroaches actually squeal?
Carson Brooks
Some do a hissing sound, but regular ones only make noise while flapping their wings (if they have them).
Owen Carter
I mean it makes sense. Imagine you envision that life has a meaning or purpose, and you don't live it up it. Or worse, you envision that life has a meaning or purpose but you don't know what it is and you might die before you even figure it out let alone live up to it. You can break it down into a real simple ranking: Success > refusing to acknowledge the idea of specific success and failure states at all > explicit failure
Jerry's life and beliefs would be heartwarming if they were held by anyone but someone pathetic like him.
Andrew Johnson
>This is starting to get really messed up. If Jerry somehow manages to stumble his way into a decent job, he might actually get custody of the kids at this rate. >straight white male getting something he wants
lol no
Connor Foster
Since I'm not completely familiar with the way divorces are handled (other than the mom getting the kids almost without fail), do the kids get any say if they're old enough?
Angel Ramirez
Kds by definition can't be old enough because if you're in somebody else's custody you're a minor. To "be old enough" would make the matter irrelevant because you wouldn't be in custody anyway.
Henry Hill
Do people actually dislike Jerry? Him and Morty are the only characters I can at the very least sympathize with.
Why did S3E2 make Jerry out to be the bad guy anyways?
Isaac Martin
Just finished seeing this. Episode was pretty good, but boy is Beth a huge bitch. Really resent her.
Justin Richardson
It didn't. It made him the guy that gets shat on by life. Two very different things.
If this was a British comedy he'd be the protagonist.
Aaron Walker
You say this as if Jerry doesn't have supporters already. Jerry is a coward but his ultimate goal has always been to protect his family even if that means from Rick.
Lucas Russell
I didn't think so till i saw all the comments in the youtube mirrors this season.
Jaxson Green
No it very much made Jerry out to be the bad guy, with Morty blaming everything on Jerry not manning up while its primarily Beth and Rick's fault.
Jason Hernandez
Reminder therapist was Tammy in disguise. Reminder she is using this position to make Rick weaker mentally by turning his grand kids against him.
Jaxon Long
Beth has always been a huge bitch, she is a daddy's girl and defends his bullshit at every opportunity and never stands up to him. Jerry actually has more of a spine than Beth just for not constantly kissing Rick's ass.
Carson Johnson
You're dumb Yes. As of 16, or w/e your state's age of consent is, you have complete control over who you live with. You can change who has custody as young as 10-14 if you can make a good case in front of a judge (saying mommy beats me or does cocaine).
Luis Davis
I think that if Jerry had custody Morty and summer would become a hell of a lot more normal Sure Jerry is a pushover and summer and Morty could get away with doing anything they want but they aren't dumb, after doing that shit for a while they would reverse to proper normal behaivour A big house and money is not what children need, they need an environment where they can have a healthy life
Dominic Diaz
I love child neglect, therapy and no jokes in my waky sci-fi comedy. >mfw nearly pissing myself when beth acted like a cunt to her kids
Brody Roberts
So...anyone think they'll adress Beth's possible electra complex? I mean i can't be the only one who thinks Beth's obsession with Rick could lead to some fucked up revaltions down the road?
Hunter Cox
Morty isn't the R&M's absolute moral compass. Him, his son, blaming Jerry for what happened is just another facet of the universe shitting on him.
Just because a Main Character considers Jerry the bad guy, doesn't mean the show made him out to be the bad guy. At best he's made out to be weak and spineless, which he is most of the time, but that doesn't mean "bad guy".
Bentley Scott
Ok, then that confirms what I thought would happen, they'll give Beth custody, only for Morty and Summer to say they want to move in with their dad.
It's the most dramatic way to go about it.
Owen Cox
I like asshole Beth, it's funny because the show it's self aware of it's cuntish behavior, kinda like Rick in a sense.
I also really hope she gets no comeuppance either, for some reason retards really, REALLY hate her and want to see her get fucked, and it would be hilarious to see them when nothing bad happens to her.
Jayden James
I feel like some one on the inside is crashing the show, if this happens it will be confirmed. why else would you make the least liked character less likable and then not even do anything with it?
Julian Russell
>really hope she gets no comeuppance Nah, I'd rather see her get her shit kicked in just to shut up the people who hate women that get no punishment for their actions
I'm kind of glad they're making her an asshole, too. It wouldn't make sense for her to shit on her husband continuously for nothing than blossom into this perfect character once he's out of the picture. If he had done something, maybe I'd understand
Tyler Green
>why else would you make the least liked character less likable and then not even do anything with it? Because that's literally the point of the show? I don't think anyone watches Rick and Morty to watch the characters get fucked because they are irresponsible assholes, user.
Evan Watson
No vocal cords, so no. I mean some species technically could, by slowly wheezing out air from their trachea under compression, but they wouldn't be making that noise purposely either, so no.
Sebastian Garcia
It's pretty obvious that Beth is going to lose custody of her kids to Jerry.
Lucas Reyes
the point of the show is not to like any of the characters?
>I don't think anyone watches Rick and Morty to watch the characters get fucked because they are irresponsible assholes
that has happend multiple times: jelly bean king, rich purge people, devil, Frank Palicky
Michael Gomez
>rich purge people literally did nothing wrong besides hole up in their house during the purge.
Adrian Lee
Cockroaches don't have tracheas. Insects don't have lungs and breath by taking in oxygen directly through tiny openings all over their bodies. Any insect noise is made by vibrating their external body parts like their wings or legs together.
Colton Long
Well not the main characters at least, Rick is an asshole and it's funny because of it, Morty does deserve it yet we laugh because it's mean, Jerry is pathetic and you are not supposed to feel bad about him because it's not realistically-pathetic and Summer is a bitchy teenager but nobody cares because she's clearly not happy with herself, that's the joke.
Same with Beth, if at the end of R&M Rick is a loving grandpa, Morty a regular person and Jerry and Beth a loving couple then Harmon would be missing what made his series good t begin with.
Eli Garcia
Season 1: >What if Doc Brown was an abusive alcoholic and Marty was his grandkid and they went on fucked up space adventures? Season 2: >Intelligent, nihilistic, and with a wicked sense of humor. Season 3: >Dude family drama lmao
Matthew Gomez
God forbid a show makes you take a hard look at yourself in the mirror inbetween gore and fart jokes, right?
Jaxson Reyes
Has anyone noticed that every other character who acts rudely, dismissively, aggressively, and arrogantly towards other characters generally has a good excuse?
Rick, for example, has seen some shit.
But Beth? Beth grew up without a daddy, who's now back in her life. Boo-fucking-hoo.
Carter Fisher
Actually they do have trachea. That's the canal that leads the air from openings in the abdominal region (spiracles) to the respiratory system. Hissing roaches make their ''hissing'' noise by expelling air through the spiracles, by the trachea.
Zachary Bell
Literally blew their load to early.
Good writing is all well and good, but if you paint your girl's face white all at once, you'll have nothing left for later.
No, instead, you got to take your dick in hand, and lovingly stroke your load across that face. Michelangelo didn't paint the Sistine Chapel in a day.
Wyatt Martinez
It was flat out stated that they engineered the purge to keep the poor people weak and distracted so that they could exploit them.
Jerry is stupid, spineless, and selfish. His only positive trait is that 99% of the time he's too weak to impose his shittiness on others. Just look at the shrimply pibbles episode for an example of how much of an asshole Jerry would be if he were even slightly less spineless than usual.
Morty is the only character in the show that genuinely cares about other people. Summer's just as self centered as Rick, and Beth and Jerry only care about their kids because being a "good parent" is the only thing they've accomplished in their lives and their egos depend on it.
Tyler Sanders
Being asshole for the hell if it can be fun to watch but Beth is an asshole because of her daddy issues, it pushes her attitude and treatment of her kids into a creepy new light. Her quasi incestuous devotion to her father at the expense of her kids well being should be adressed, she should face consequences for her fucked up priorities. Whether or not the show is building up to something like this is still up in the air.
Sebastian Collins
Calm down Freud
Colton Campbell
I don't know, at the end when she was really not into going back to therapy and was talking about going with Rick for food it really felt like a punchline, user. I hope they just pull a South Park bring back the Jerry status quo in a classy yet funny way.
Dylan Turner
Jerry c137 grew a spine and balls when he thought Beth would cheat on him. Then he started killing every bug and cronenberg person in his way. Which made beth love Jerry and become submissive to him.
Second(maybe third due to Jerry daycare mixup) Jerry tried to stand up to Beth and Rick, but failed his willpower roll. This Jerry needs to level up and try again.
Bentley Sanders
>Morty was the subject of this episodes pee fetish >Not Summer
I'm disappointed in Justin.
Asher Ross
Not an argument
Benjamin Hernandez
>he might actually get custody of the kids at this rate.
Not unless they portray the custody battle realistically
James Russell
great I can't wait for that hilarious episode.
Jackson Davis

Many many shows are like this.
Alexander Brooks
Well, I didn't think you could do lazier toon drawings than Senpai Guy/American Dad.. but there you go.
Levi Sanders
Why didn't Rick go to another universe at the end of Season 2 where Bird Person didn't die? Why didn't Rick go to another universe at the end of Season 2 where he wasn't a wanted criminal? Why didn't Rick go to another universe at the end of Season 2 where Bird Person didn't meet Tammy? Why didn't Rick go to another universe where Jerry is a good guy and loved by his family? Why didn't Rick go to another universe where Jerry and Beth have a good marriage? Why does Rick pretend to care about anyone or anything when he can just go to another, better universe?
Nolan Sanchez
how many of those are wacky science fiction comedy shows?
Brody Thompson
what happened to the science and adventure this show had? now it's like I'm watching some shitty show on lifetime.
Kayden Rodriguez
Rick cares, but pretends he doesn't. He ditched c137 universe because he screwed up too badly.
So he had to find the next closest possible match. Where he could jump in and replace the other Rick with no one noticing. There are a finite number of universes close enough to Ricks. So he can't waste them.
Gavin Wright
No
Well, we'll just have to wait and see where they're taking this sub plot and if a cigar is just a cugar or some fucked up daddy issues.
Aiden Nelson
>He ditched c137 That was not universe c137. Rick had already abandoned his original universe and family before the show started.
Connor Morris
I really loved the episode. I don't get why everyone here is bitching out.
Liam Baker
Remember that time he got upset over a soup can having women on it? He truly is a man of logic and reason.
Robert Taylor
The Madagascar hissing cockroach!
Adrian Rodriguez
He only fucks off to another universe when he fucks it up, like the cronenberg universe. rick pretends not to care about his family but he actually does.
Thomas Campbell
My parents divorce was similar.
Kids literally become pawns in the plan to hurt your father, divorced women are grade a fucking psychopaths.
Justin Rivera
It's so stupid. It must be satire.
Colton Scott
Me too thanks :,)
Connor Long
Am I the only one having these creepy incest tones from Beth towards Rick? I feel like she would rather have Rick as her husband at this point
Think about it.
Jaxson Brown
Because he's trying to give a fuck about something so that not everything is an endless void of meaningless sensation. His anchor right now is Morty. Morty, gives a fuck about this current dimension and the things inside it. Until Morty goes full Rick level euphoric Rick will be tied down to wherever Morty's investment is. An easy example of this is: >was about to leave summer in the desert >wasn't as keen to leave morty for dead >leaves both of them eventually but comes back before long and focuses on retrieving morty first
Josiah Gray
Were reaching Moral Orel levels of realistically terrible parents Jesus Beth literally does not want to care about other people especially her own family
Gavin Wright
im hoping that a younger version of rick will fuck her and create morty
