Okay, buckle up, buttercups! We're diving headfirst into the gloriously chaotic world of Rick and Morty and tackling a question that's probably plagued you during at least one existential crisis: How many episodes are there?!
The Big Number (So Far!)
Alright, drumroll please! As of today, we're sitting pretty with a grand total of 71 episodes. Yeah, you read that right! That's 71 portals blasted open, 71 alternate realities explored, and 71 times you've probably questioned the very fabric of your own existence. Good times!
Think of it this way: that's more episodes than there are licks to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop! (I mean, probably. I haven't counted. Don't @ me.)
Breaking it Down Season by Season
Now, to truly appreciate the sheer magnitude of Rick and Morty goodness, let's break it down by season. It's like dissecting a frog... but way less slimy and way more hilarious.
Season 1: The Beginning of the End (of Sanity)
Season 1 gave us a solid 11 episodes of pure, unadulterated madness. It's where we met the core cast, got our first taste of interdimensional travel, and learned that sometimes, the answer to life's biggest questions is just, "Wubba Lubba Dub-Dub!"
Season 2: Raising the Stakes (and the Absurdity)
Season 2 also gifted us with 10 episodes. This season ramped up the emotional stakes, introduced some seriously messed-up concepts, and cemented Rick and Morty as a force to be reckoned with in the world of adult animation.
Season 3: Pickle Rick! Enough Said.
Ah, Season 3. Another 10 episodes of brilliance! This season gave us, arguably, the most iconic episode of the entire series: "Pickle Rick." You know, the one where Rick turns himself into a pickle to avoid family therapy? Genius!
Season 4: Gaslighting and Gloating
Season 4 brought us another 10 episodes to enjoy, although some may felt like they were waiting forever for the second half. With all that being said, it's more Rick and Morty. So, who's complaining?!
Season 5: Mind Blowers and Mortality
Season 5 delivered 10 more episodes of interdimensional wackiness and family drama. If you ever wondered whether you're truly watching an episode that's cannon, then this season makes sure you're thinking about that.
Season 6: Continuity and Canon
Season 6, as expected, brings another 10 episodes for the fans! This season, more than ever before, focuses on the idea of continuity and canon, which has been discussed ever since the show started.
Season 7: A New Era Begins
Season 7 has premiered with 10 episodes! Justin Roiland is no longer part of the show, so there is a new voice actor voicing the main characters.
Is That All There Is? (Please Say No!)
Fear not, fellow fans! While 71 episodes is an impressive number, it's definitely not the end of the line. Remember that sweet, sweet deal Adult Swim made for 70 more episodes? We're barely halfway there! Prepare for a glorious, extended era of interdimensional chaos!
So, there you have it! The definitive answer to the age-old question of how many episodes of Rick and Morty exist. Now go forth, re-watch your favorites, and prepare yourselves for the infinite possibilities that lie ahead. Wubba Lubba Dub-Dub!
