10 Rick And Morty Episodes Probably Made Out Of Spite

10. Meeseeks And Destroy - S1 E5

This episode came under a lot of flack and is considered by many to be quite distasteful and triggering. Rick and Morty are off on another of their adventures but this time Morty insists on taking charge. Determined to see the mission through until the end and prove Rick wrong, Morty is willing to put up with whatever comes his way.

His determination is soon replaced with dismay as the pair stop off in a tavern and Morty is sexually assaulted in a bathroom stall. Noticing what has occurred, Rick owns up to losing the bet to make him feel better and the two decide to go home.

The scene in the bathroom was extremely intense and very dark. Some complained that it can be quite triggering for victims of sexual assault and demanded an apology from the creators.

In an interview, Roiland spoke about how he felt it was important to include this element of the episode and talk about the subject. He claimed that the episode was created to express his empathy for those who may have experienced a similar situation and give the finger to those who may have acted in a similar way to King Jellybean.

The episode was designed to make you feel uncomfortable and it does exactly that.
