'Take something stupid and give it a smart intelligent reason.'
That just sounds brilliant in itself to me.
I got an Idea! I will take something smart and make it stupid!
@@adonas3903 Haha, good one. But... do you have the intellect for that? If your answer is yes, then you've just insulted yourself. :P
Leto85 no haha you got unboozled!
In a world full of Ricks and Jerries, be a Morty.
So more ricks can run morties
🔴be a marty! Lol well I mean, learned how to portal jump, so there’s that. LET’S Rick and Morty portal jump together! th-cam.com/video/L5rf2mxthVA/w-d-xo.html
Imma a cool top wearing Summer. I be all like, "Grandpa Rick's a shy pooper." 🤣🤣🤣
I'd be evil Morty 😈
This is GOLD. Such a good analysis. And I've been dying to have a peek at the Rick & Morty writer's room. Thanks so much for this video! You're awesome.
Glad you liked it!
Just as I'm about to start planning my short this video is uploaded and is actually helpfulll
Thank you Tyler! I’m finally starting to write my first draft of my script!
A junk drawer planet/ dimension would be a cool idea, this has just evolved in my mind that this place could be a dumping ground for some highly advanced interdenominational species or it could be some portal loophole/ glitch that sends stuff there randomly, the premise of one mans junk being another treasure is both ironic and fitting for Rick.
Or maybe the wall in Solar Opposites?
This is great. I think you should definitely break down the writing process of more shows!
Dude, what a coincidence that when I started watching Rick and Morty was also the time I found you on youtube And then I finished it yesterday and now you posted this video! Btw, love your videos dude!
Thank you!
I just heard of Rick and Morty a week ago and have watched every free episode countless times since then.
That happened to me too, and that wasn't a coincidence at all because Google tracks it all, including this comment.
P.D: I love Google, good boy.
@@writing_geek2150 that's kinda creepy. Not you... I mean google. Google's kinda creepy.
Mørpheus _ MCOC analytics going on deep...
Tyler, thanks for putting this information together. I'm becoming a huge fan of your channel and learning a lot.
That’s great to hear! Thanks so much!
@@TylerMowery By any chance did you took the Seminar Beyond Structure by David Freeman?
I think that the reason why the characters don't change like they're supposed by the circle (Hero's journey) is because this is a series, and they rely on their characters resting after each episode. If you're telling another type of story such as a book or a movie things would be different.
I'm going to watch this video over and over again. Thank you so much!
this video is so well put! amazing!
I love your videos and they’re helping me a lot into writing my brand new series
That’s great to hear!
I like the change of tone when they come in with Evil Morty
Very good! Thx for the awesome analysis!
Glad you enjoyed it!
🔴 thanks for the analysis! Good to learn how to story tell!
This was helpful. Thanks!
Tyler: I saw "The Assistant" today. I'd love to see you discuss this film on your channel. The concept of how Kitty Green wrote the script (and briefly talked about backstories in scripts) blew me away. After a trip (ironically to LA) in the next few weeks I should have more time to look at your screenwriting course.
your videos quality are so amazing !
Excellent video, thank you!
Thanks for a great video man!
The circle at 3 minutes is the circle in season 4 episode 6 at 14 minutes ish where they were breaking meta and talking about story
You should make a video about stop motion.
P.D love your videos and i hope one day you will show us one of your works.
How are you so young? This channel is pure gold.
Thank you for posting Tyler. I need to start watching Rick and Morty. I love the premise of s1ep4.
I've been waiting for this ✌
Best episode yet, Tyler! And a perfect gateway guide to why Dan Harmon is one of the best television creators around. (Also a great response to the anti-structure crowd!)
Thanks Rob!
Dan Harmon is a genius

"because trying means you've already failed"
*_can someone explain this position!?_*
Harmon (or Rick) believes traditional goals are “useless” or not worth attempting. And to attempt them means you believe the lie that those things will bring putpose
@@TylerMowery this is the part i *_do_* understand. the part i *_do not_* understand is the way he came to this conclusion. why would it be wrong for someone to try to get an education and participate in sports, for example? i do not see why these attempts would be described as futile or wrong. he explicitly calls out the wish to "provide for your family" in this context
(i am legitimately interested in the reasons and not trying to cause any conflict)
Harmon doesn’t take that position. He says Rick takes that position because Rick is this godlike character that can do whatever he wants. In the full interview Harmon expounds and says that Jerry probably has it better off than Rick, even if Rick is right in this universe in the sense that there are much bigger problems out there.
@@sweetfruit7769 I Think it is really simpel in this context. When you try to be a good father and provider, you're not a good father and provider, that's why you're trying to be one. You either are one or aren't.
Kinda funny you guys all use references to the show to explain this.. when it's a zen Buddhist frame of mind 😂 to try to control something means you've already lost. You mustn't try but only do. Etc etc
Great videos!
Thank you!
Thanks for the great video. I wish the show would hurry back tho.
Same!
Which interview does Dan Harmon talk about how other writers come in and write the jokes after the story is tight? Maybe I missed it but I couldn't find it in the links in the description
Best content on TH-cam
So the writers literally just went "And then Rick turns himself into a pickle, funniest shit I've ever seen" when writing pickle Rick
The title is a joke. The answer is they *don't* write Rick and Morty.
What do you mean
Rick actually does change in s01Ep04, or I guess maybe he just reveals himself a little more, which is just as good in my opinion. There is a very short moment before they reveal they're in a simulation within a simulation where he is tickling morty and accidentally has a vulnerable moment where he tells Morty that he loves him. I think this reveals an important aspect of Rick and his relationship with Morty that is pretty central to the show.
If your channel was a company I’d buy stock in it
Does rick and morty have a continuity of multiple story arcs like how a anime does? or is it just random episodes that don’t continue from each?.
Season 1and2 of Rick and Morty is pretty philosophical if you closely understand the show and amusing too !!
And Pickle Rick is awesome !! :)
Hi Tyler I love your work and video I’m a webtoon author and artist and I also have a TH-cam channel and I’m struggling a lot on writing. Your videos help me a lot can you also do BoJack horseman if you saw this comment please do a “how to write a BoJack horseman” in this concept and I highly recommended that you should do “I wrote a screenplay” more
Where do these clips from the writers room come from?
6:55 You won't regret it.
Thx youtube algorithm
I thought it was just Justin getting plastered and being spontaneous lol
I think that's the genesis.
How story circle works in non linear films ?? please reply me please i am stuck please
You have to write in chronological order first, then you re arrange scenes, you don’t write a non linear film any different then a linear one, the only difference is how you reveal the story
MALLIK R there is a video on TH-cam where Chris Nolan reveals how he wrote memento which is the greatest non linear film film I’ve ever seen, type in Chris Nolan memento and its the first video
Maybe we as the viewer sees the story circle by the end of the non linear film even if the character doesn't realise it. Eg memento
Can i ask what sreenwriting software you are using ?
Final Draft 10
This sounds like the best job in the whole wide world
Can the Store Circle be used to write novels, novellas, short stories, etc?
Absolutely!
Yes. It is called the hero's journey, Joseph Campbell wrote an entire book about it. Look it up.
Who else has the new five Episodes recorded? Only watched the first three so far
Do you need to use every step of the story circle
Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland are geniuses
How they write Rick and Morty. They go on reddit.
Oh this gonna do numbers
Haha I hope so
9 J O K E S A M I N U T E
*whaaaaaat?*
Heroes journey?
"70% of my viewers aren't subscribed"
You son of a bitch, I'm in
you should really look over evil morty episode, it tells 4 stories
we all know how they write rick and morty, slowly
Havent watched a single episode but it seems like they've done psychedelics before
Do a South Park
I wonder how the show will survive without Justin
Justin had little involvement in the show after the first or second season. He was doing nothing for several seasons besides voicing characters from his home
You break it down pretty good and it feels informative but I disagree with certain parts. I feel that the core of Rick and Morty besides Rick and Morty is sci-fi and that the humor is centrated around this not satire or cynisism or sarkasm. The jokes or the humor also almost always relies on the personality of the characters and that you understand those personalities. I dont like neither how you want to display or portrait the characters and their part in the show, one example that I feel is very important to the show about the characters are the support characters and many episodes almost completly center around these support characters and how the main characters relate to these like the Meeseeks. Also a story circle cant be applied to any project. It may work here bc first it is a tv series and secondly bc the writers probably felt that this will help the viewer feel at home when going through the episodes. So that it flows this way and isnt completly all over the place like the humor and what happens in the episodes. And sure Rick is adventurous maybe and Morty might be his anker or voice of reason and stuff like that but yeah they are first and foremost going through a process I feel through the series. I also feel that they have made the characters feel unique and that you see this first not their traits. Oh and Free Rick! I think is genius bc Rick cant be free'd mainly bc he always falls back in his own patterns and also bc there are sooo many Ricks, I dont know if thats correct but yeah. I think that You def dont nail their complex personalities anyways, that you rationalize them! Uhm also writing resources on a personal belief or view shouldnt be applied! My feelings not Rick and Morty history!
Imo, the first two seasons of Rick and Morty were the best -- almost every episode was top tier quality, whereas in later seasons the episodes were mostly average with a few great episodes. One of the reasons I think this is is that they got too meta, with Rick breaking the fourth wall way too much when in earlier seasons he only does it a handful of times.
Can you check your Twitter DM’s please?
I like that the psychiatrist outsmartz Rick by simply stating the facts of his current situation. It's not some tricky theory or philosophy. It's just asking is this true? And of course it is
If you guys are looking for a recap of season 4 look no further: th-cam.com/video/L46ob0G-074/w-d-xo.html
Notification gang
I'm kinda over rick and Morty now.. 2-4 years between seasons. Only 11 or something episodes. Staling on continuing a season. No real ark in this new season. Rick's toilet was the funniest episode of the season.. hopefully they turn it around
Whats up with the thumbnail pic....is that the illuminati sign?
this isn’t true they just get high and write the most random shit and throw it into an episode
Epic video! Am I first lol?
second
Pickle Rick and the dragon episode are the worst episodes. They feel counterfeit like a fanfiction R&M.
Good luck making the show without Justin
The episodic story itself of rick and morty is absolutely atrocious. Its easy to see how contrived everything is if you take a step back. Rick and morty shines in its situational humor, concept exploration, and its subversion. If rick is so smart he should be able to make a happiness and fulfillment drug. Its more interesting to see morty struggle through life and learning. The entire story up onto this point is emotions are beyond intelligence, which is very stupid even in the real world.
now justin is gone the show is really BAD.
