Rick and Morty 1.02

Lawnmower Dog

Rick has a plan to make Morty's life a little easier so that he has more time to help his grandfather. It involves leaping into the dreams of Morty's math teacher, Mr. Goldenfold. The plan is to convince him to give Morty and A but he proves to be very resistant to suggestion. They end up leaping into the dreams of someone in Goldenfold's dream and then when things don't work out there they leap again into the dreams of someone in the dreams of someone in the dreams of Goldenfold.

There they meet Scary Terry who kind of looks like Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street. After he gets tired and goes to sleep, they leap into his dreams. In the end they work their way back out of the various layers of dreams, having accomplished their original mission plus a few others.

Meanwhile in the real world the family dog has achieved sentience and caged Morty's parents and sister. This is all thanks to a device that made Snuffles, Morty's dog, super intelligent. The device was created by Rick just before he and Morty started their dream diving adventure.

Love this episode. It is crazy silly. I'm glad to see that it holds up to repeat viewings.
