And we’re hoping the rest of Season 3 continues to grow bigger and bigger, to the point where none of the show’s many universes can even contain it.
(And that it lands on Jerry’s head at some point.)
By coming out of nowhere with its surprise 24-hour April Fool’s Day stream of its Szechwan Sauce-infused premiere, which was then followed by more months of waiting, Rick and Morty further proved to be its own best marketing tool.
It isn’t often that animated sci-fi comedies on cable can create a fever pitch between seasons, but Rick and Morty certainly achieved that and then some, thanks to some brilliant trolling in the Season 2 finale teasing a long delay before Season 3, which was combined with what became a legitimate and massive delay between the second and third seasons.
