Pickle Rick Was Cool, But Did You *Really* Love the Unicorn Episode's Song?
Okay, hear me out. We all love Rick and Morty. It's smart, it's weird, it makes us think... sometimes.
And let's face it, the music is usually top-notch. They nail the comedic timing with their song choices.
Season 5 Episode 3: A Painful Unicorn Ballad
Remember the episode with the incest baby and the horny unicorns? Yeah, that one.
It gave us some truly disturbing visuals. And a song that's... divisive, to say the least.
We're talking about the infamous unicorn ballad. You know, the one about finding love and... other stuff.
Is It Good? Or Just Shock Value?
Some people adore it. They think it's hilarious and a perfect example of Rick and Morty's twisted humor.
But honestly? I think it's a bit grating. Maybe even a little *too* on the nose.
Don't get me wrong, shock value can be funny. But this song just felt... forced.
Unpopular Opinion Alert!
I know, I know. I'm probably going to get flamed for this.
Everyone seems to love this song. They sing it at conventions, they play it at parties.
But I just can't bring myself to enjoy it. Sorry, not sorry.
Compared to Other Musical Moments
Think about some of the show's other musical masterpieces. "Goodbye Moonmen"? Classic.
Even some of the smaller musical stings are brilliant. They're quick, witty, and memorable.
This unicorn song? It drags on. And it just feels... unpleasant to listen to.
The Problem With the Lyrics
The lyrics are intentionally crude. We get it, it's supposed to be shocking.
But sometimes, shock value isn't enough. You need some actual humor underneath the surface.
And for me, this song just doesn't deliver. It feels like they tried too hard to be offensive.
Is It Just Me? (Probably Not)
I can't be the only one who feels this way, right?
There have to be other Rick and Morty fans who found this song a bit much.
Maybe we're just old and boring. Or maybe we have slightly higher standards for comedy.
The Episode Itself Was... Interesting
Let's be honest, the whole episode was a rollercoaster. A weird, unsettling rollercoaster.
Maybe the song is just a reflection of the episode's overall tone. Which was... well, something.
But even within that context, the song just felt out of place. Like a square peg in a round hole.
In Conclusion: A Musical Miss?
So, there you have it. My unpopular opinion about the unicorn song.
I still love Rick and Morty. I think it's one of the best animated shows on television.
But this song? It's a skip for me. I'd rather listen to "Get Schwifty" on repeat.
What Do You Think?
Am I crazy? Am I missing something? Let me know in the comments!
Maybe you can convince me to change my mind. Or maybe you agree with me.
Either way, let's have a friendly debate about the merits (or lack thereof) of this controversial Rick and Morty tune.
And remember, "Wubba Lubba Dub-Dub!" (Except maybe during that song).
