The episode was pretty funny. “Pickle Rick” is a mild example of “L0l Randumz Xd” humor, because the reaction of literally every other character is that it’s underwhelming and unfunny. the rest of the episode has good jokes, references, super fluid action and gore.
Edit: I don’t want this on the front page while US-Iran stuff is going down.
They really did have a Szechuan sauce and it was pretty awesome. They reintroduced it for a limited time after the Rick and Morty episode and was lucky enough to get a couple of packs one night with McNuggets.
