10 Funniest Rick And Morty Moments

9. Snake Society - Rattlestar Ricklactica

Rattlestar Ricklactica is the brilliant episode where Morty sets out to do a good turn for a society of snakes and ends up causing all-out race war between snakes and humans . Once Rick introduces time travel into the mix, the episode devolves into a rapid-fire series of vignettes of past, present, and future of the snake society.

The best jokes of the episode are seeing how the writers managed to not only humanize the snakes, but give them an elaborate backstory, history, culture, and technology, despite them having no hands with which to readily manipulate tools.

The snake story is full of real-world allegories, just slightly twisted to fit the episode. The snakes have full military capability and somehow managed to send a snake into space (even if it did bite its first contact). There was a snake Abe Lincoln. A snake Hitler. There's a 1985 Snake MIT with their own versions of the original Apple logo, Back to the Future, huge brick cell phones, and snake cocaine.

Also, so, so many snake Terminators and time travelers.

There are lots of great sight gags as well, like any and all snake text just saying 'SSSSSSS' and a snake break-dancing, cardboard and all.

Oh, and snake jazz rules.
