The "When-Wolf" clip is among the more memorable faux-shows introduced so far, to the point where it really deserves its own spinoff. Sidebar - this episode's nod to the Interdimensional Cable format is a welcome treat. The episode also builds on its little gags in amusing ways, whether through clever nods to films like Blade Runner and Highlander or the various ways each family differs slightly from the next. That chaotic, fast-paced approach works well. No sooner do we touch base with one family than they're taken off the board and the focus shifts to the next family. It gradually evolves from a story about mysterious, squid-like aliens hunting Rick to a Battle Royale among countless decoy families. "Mortyplicity" excels at keeping the viewer off-guard with its premise. But in execution, "Mortyplicity" proves to be a silly and extremely violent addition to the new season. By all rights the end result should feel like a bland retread.

You’ll either love every moment of the freewheeling violence and madcap sci-fi rigamarole or you’re one of the fans like me who more appreciates the sitcommy characterization side of the series and will therefore find a lot less to latch onto.It's actually surprising this episode works as well as it does considering the close conceptual similarities to the Space beth subplot introduced back in Season 3's "The ABC's of Beth." Once again we have a storyline built around doppelgangers and the question of whether the Smith/Sanchez family can ever be certain they're real. But, in the end, “Mortyplicity” is one of those episodes, like “A Rickle in Time” or “One Crew over the Crewcoo’s Morty” before it, that’s primarily invested in the escalating complexity of its bonkers sci-fi premise.

And the Buffalo Bill-esque serial killer Rick was inspired in how disturbing it was. I laughed a few times my favorite lines were “Actually, I get hard protecting my family” and “We’re gonna live in the woods like libertarians.” The wooden puppet clones with the compressed audio voices were kind of charming, too.
However, it’s still only somewhat convincing because this is one tiny emotional moment in what is mostly an episode of the Smith family cynically dispatching clones while, as is the standard for modern Rick and Morty, snapping angrily at each other almost constantly. However, you’re not really supposed to invest in them as believable facsimiles of people on their own journeys through life because, well, it’s awfully hard to do that when the show basically tells you it has no consistent protagonists. You’re supposed to love them, in a way, but that way is as cynical, wisecrack-spouting, sci-fi comedy vehicles. “Mortyplicity” is one of those Rick and Morty episodes that very loudly and clearly tells you that you should not be invested in these characters’ lives.
You’re supposed to get emotional highs and lows from them and want them to succeed.
I know I’m stating the obvious here but I mean it’s weird on a fundamental storytelling level because, the thing is, under all the sci-fi madness, there’s meant to be a gooey sitcom center to this series and sitcoms usually want you to care a lot about their characters. Man, Rick and Mortyis a weird fucking show. This RICK AND MORTY review contains spoilers.
