Raising Gazorpazorp

A little step down in quality again this week, only a minor step but still. This ones not quite as witty as some of the previous ones.

Morty (Justin Roiland) returns from a trip with a sex robot that he immediately puts to good use. Unfortunately, the robot is more practical than either he, or Rick (Justin Roiland) could have foreseen and within a short period births an alien hybrid that Morty names Morty Junior. Eager to investigate more, Rick takes Summer (Spencer Grammar) on an adventure where they discover that the robot came from a civilisation where the females have evolved to an idyllic society whilst the men battle for dominance on the planet surface.

I think, perhaps, this is one that's a little too earnest for its own good. Morty's parenting is constantly judged by his parents and is not quite as funny as it could be. Perhaps as it's a lot of setup for the footloose parody, which I didn't find that funny - and the tell-all book, which to be fair, I did. The female centric society isn't that well observed either, and we're back to an older model for Rick where he's constantly burping and farting.

I don't want this review to come off like I didn't like the episode. It's another brilliant one - but I find I'm having to write reviews to say why it's not as good as others, rather than praising it in its own right.
