Justin Roiland, the other co-executive producer of “Rick and Morty,” who also lends the voice to both Rick and Morty, says that he is kind of blown away with the instant success of the TV series and he really looks forward to continuing the adventures of the two in the animated TV show.
As an obvious fan of the animated show, the Den of Geek has always made it a point to calculate the jokes per minute (JPM) rate of “Rick and Morty” to see how does it fare not from any competition but also on itself. The outlet describes its joke counting effort as an initiative of not leaving any joke behind.
Based on its computation, “Rick and Morty” averaged 5.96 jokes per minute for its Season 2, which is an improvement over the 5.40 jokes per minute it registered in Season 1.
At an average running time of 22 minutes, that’s about over 130 jokes per episode. No wonder, viewers are glued to their screens on “Rick and Morty” because aside from wanting a good laugh, a good number of them also do not want to miss a joke or two.
Because of its remarkable JPM rate, “Rick and Morty” is actually considered as one of TV’s best-animated comedies. It also proves that comedy is not subjective and that “Rick and Morty” is as perfect and beautiful as the “Fibonacci Spiral,” some critics say.
