Rick and Morty: Calculating Jokes Per Minute

Rick and Morty came out of absolutely nowhere in late 2013. Well, fans of Adult Swim, Dan Harmon’s Channel 101 and Justin Roiland’s original Doc and Mharti shorts may have had some inkling but those 59-ish people weren’t spoiling the surprise for anyone else.

And what a surprise it was! season one of Rick and Morty packed more sheer delight into 11 episodes than most series are able to do over their entire lifespans. I watched each episode once and then again at least three more times, as I tried to convince every unfortunate individual in my life that a crudely animated show that features a pre-teen boy nearly being sexually assaulted by a jellybean was the future of comedy. If only I had hard statistics to back up my claims.

Now, fresh off our deconstruction of one of TV’s other best comedies, Veep, we’re going to statistically break down the jokes in season one of Rick and Morty by calculating its Jokes Per Minute (JPM). Again, this is a terribly unfunny (and perhaps unfair) way to look at a comedy. But Rick and Morty deserves it, just so we have some cold hard statistics to calculate its brilliance aside from the warm feeling it leaves in our tummies.

Like Veep, Rick and Morty presents its own challenges in figuring out exactly what constitutes a “joke.” It features a fair amount of dialogue-based humor, which is easy enough to track. Due to its animated nature, however, it also features a heavy amount of visual humor that can be hard to classify. For the purposes of this study, we’ll count a visual joke once and then ignore it for the rest of the episode unless it is presented in a materially new, funny way. For instance, the introduction of a new species like a “Stair-person” is counted as a joke once, but will not be counted as a joke on subsequent appearances unless it does or says something funny.  Due to all of this visual humor, we’ll also theorize that animated comedies are likely to have a higher JPM than other, traditional sitcoms, but we will hold off on conclusions until we’ve amassed more samples.

Additionally, Rick and Morty’s individual character quirks like Rick’s frequent alcoholic belching and Morty’s nervous stuttering can be counted as a joke each time since despite the repetition, always appear in a new context. Plus, they’re really, really funny.

This time around, in addition to calculating the average JPM of each episode, we’ve also tracked literally how many jokes there are for each minute of each episode. For instance, the first minute of the entire season features three jokes, while the 11^th minute of the sixth episode features eight jokes (see page two for data). 

Finally, we’ve chosen to present the episodes in order from least JPM to most, instead of merely chronological.  Start placing your bets on what will top the list now!

11. Episode 1: Pilot

Running time: 21:33

Total number of jokes: 101

JPM: 4.74

Minute with highest JPM: 22^nd minute (8 JPM)

Best Joke: “They’re not robots, Rick!” – Morty

 “It’s a figure of speech, Morty. They’re bureaucrats! I don’t respect them.” – Rick

That the Pilot features the fewest Jokes Per Minute of any episode seems to track with how most critics feel about Rick and Morty. Few would argue that the Pilot is among the series’ strongest episodes. It does set the anarchic tone early on, however, as Morty ends up committing several murders against his will in the series’ very first episode.

10. Episode 7: Rasing Gazorpazorp

Running Time: 21:25

Total number of jokes: 102

JPM: 4.80

Minute with highest JPM: 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th mintues (7 JPM)

Best Joke: “Still think it’s a good idea to go through holes without a weiner?” – Rick

“Raising Gazorpazorp” starts off incredibly strong with Morty convincing Rick to buy him a sex robot then spending the next few minutes vigorously humping it. From there, the JPM starts to slow down. “Gazorpazorp” is plenty funny but more conceptual in nature. It has less time for jokes than other episode. As a housekeeping note: I counted “I’m here if you need to talk” as the female Gazorpazorp’s greeting as a joke each time. It never failed to make me chuckle.

 

9. Episode 3: Anatomy Park

Running Time: 22:08

Total number of jokes: 99

JPM: 4.88

Minute with highest JPM: 5^th minute (10 JPM)

Best Joke: “Jacob is your mother’s lover. I watch them. Sometimes from a chair. Sometimes from a closet. Almost always dressed as Superman.” – Leonard

“Anatomy Park” is amazing and it’s a testament to this show that such a funny episode features the third lowest JPM.  It’s especially fun to watch now that the Jurassic Park franchise is apparently a thing again. I’ve not seen Jurassic World yet, but I find it hard to believe it’s better than this. “Anatomy Park” may have just too much action for a higher JPM. The introduction of each disease-monster is counted as a joke only once. “Morty, can you get to the left nipple?” “Are you kidding, I’m hoping I can get to both of them, Rick,” is a fantastic exchange.

8. Episode 4: M. Night Shaym-Aliens

Running Time: 21:03

Total number of jokes: 103

JPM: 4.90

Minute with highest JPM: 8^th minute (12 JPM)

Best Joke: “Morty, keep your hands off your ding-dong! It’ll keep us safe.” – Rick

“M. Night Shaym-Aliens” is pretty average by Rick and Morty’s lofty standards, which is to say: still great. It also quite randomly features the minute tied for most jokes in the season. That’s the 8^th minute of the episode where Jerry is happy he sold a marketing pitch for Apples while the false reality around him glitches out. Somewhat charitably, I counted the fake townspeople’s mantra of “Slow down!” “Looking good!” and “My Man!” all as jokes.

7. Episode 6: Rick Potion #9

Running Time: 21:29

Total number of jokes: 108

JPM: 5.07

Minute with highest JPM: 4^th, 11^th, 13 minutes (8 JPM)

Best Joke: “I throw balls far. You want words, date a languager.” – Brad

If this episode were just a 21 minute rap song from the Flu season dance, it’s JPM would be astronomical. “Flu-hating rapper just flowing away / I love Morty and I hope Morty loves me. I’d love to wrap my arms around him and feel him inside me.” “Rick Potion #9” is another great example of Rick and Morty’s visual joke supremacy. The sheer amount of Cronenberg creatures they are able to fit into frame makes it hard for any non-animated show to catch up.

6. Episode 2: Lawnmower Dog

Running Time: 21:01

Total number of jokes: 112

JPM: 5.33

Minute with highest JPM: 6^th minute (10 JPM)

Best Joke: “Where are my testicles, Summer?” – Snuffles (a.k.a. Snowball)

“Lawnmower Dog” is considered by many to be the first great Rick and Morty episode…and it’s only the second ever. By the time an android dog demands to know where his testicles are, it’s clear we are in rarified comedic territory. Every utter of “Bitch” from Scary Terry counts as a joke under JPM rules.

5. Episode 5: Meseeks and Destroy

Running Time: 21:08

Total number of jokes: 118

JPM: 5.60

Minute with highest JPM: 3^rd, 8^th, 15^th minutes (8 JPM)

Best Joke: “S’cuse me, I’ m a bit of a stickler Meseeks, what about your short game?” – Stickler Mr. Meseeks

This is the first big surprise of the list. “Meseeks and Destroy” is my personal favorite Rick and Morty episode and maybe my favorite comedic episode of television from this decade. The fact that it only just cracks the top five is a little insane and truly indicative of the show’s quality. One thing we can conclude from the episode’s JPM trend, however, is just how consistent it is. From the moment Mr. Meseeks appears onscreen to the moment the townspeople discover King Jellybean’s disturbing stash, “Meseeks and Destroy” never sinks below 4 JPM.

 

4. Episode 11: Ricksy Business

Running Time: 22:25

Total number of jokes: 128

JPM: 5.75

Minute with highest JPM: 5^th minute (9 JPM)

Best Joke: “It’s weird because I definitely believe all men are created equal but at the same time…” – Abradolf Lincler

If we were keeping track of “hilarious new character introduced per minute” “Ricksy Business” would win in a landslide. Bird-Person, Slow-Mobius, Abradolf Lincler. It’s powerhouse after powerhouse. “Ricksy Business” wouldn’t have been my first guess for a top four episode, but it’s the sheer volume of characters that pushes it over the top. The various difference verses and transitions in the “Rick Dance” earned three jokes.

3. Episode 10: Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind

Running Time: 22:25

Total number of jokes: 134

JPM: 6.02

Minute with highest JPM: 4^th minute (11 JPM)

Best Joke: “Looks like payday at Neverland Ranch in here.” – Rick

One of the funniest visual jokes of the entire series thus far is the Wall of Morties being tortured to keep the Evil Rick from being discovered. It wouldn’t have been unfair to award it a thousand jokes per minute for each Morty having his skin pricked. That would have skewed things quite a bit, however. “Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind” excels yet again in the visual joke realm, with each new Rick onscreen being funnier than the last.

 

2. Episode 9: Something Ricked This Way Comes

Running Time: 22:18

Total number of jokes: 134

JPM: 6.04

Minute with highest JPM: 21^st minute (9 JPM)

Best Joke: “You’re really playing with fire when you burst in like that, man.” – Morty

“Something Ricked This Way Comes” features the exact same amount of jokes as the episode that follows it, “Close Rick-Counters.” But “Ricked” takes the JPM runner-up title with a slightly shorter runtime. The Devil selling people cursed items seems a touch high-concept to have this high of a JPM though each cursed item is inventive enough to count as its own joke. And the townspeople’s gullible responses to each one is never not funny. Rick’s “pass-the-butter” robot and Rick and Summer’s DMX-scored rampage are also series’ highlights.

1. Episode 8: Rixty Minutes

Running Time: 22:16

Total number of jokes: 146

JPM: 6.60

Minute with highest JPM: 7^th minute (12 JPM)

Best Joke: “I’m gonna move to the Southwest and do something with…I don’t know: turquoise.” – Summer

Of course “Rixty Minutes” features the highest JPM of Rick and Morty season 1. Its format isn’t so much an episode of television, as it is a JPM steroid shot. Having its characters sit on a couch and watch intergalactic television leads to some of the most inventive and hilarious writing this show, or any other, is capable of. By the time a Mexican armada turns up with weapons made from tomatoes in the Two Brothers movie, “Rixty Minutes” has achieved a 12-JPM minute. This episode is a marvel and mandate for the JPM as a statistical tool. It’s just a treat. As Morty tells Summer: “Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody’s gonna die. Come watch TV?”

Rick and Morty Season 1 Total JPM: 5.40
