Just wondering what people thought about this episode as it puts an interesting twist on suicide.

It felt like a mixed bag. the episode was definitely condemning the right to die movement and making it seem as though any goverment that provides aided suicide by law is doing it from a malicious intent to profit from it. idk i like the family dynamics and the funny characters but the show doesn't always deliver the best social commentary

I liked the episode. My feelings on the commentary in regards to suicide are mixed, but I did love the commentary on other things, such as consumerism. Over all, I thought it was a pretty solid episode.

I was loving the episode right up until the ending when showing that one guy's life became a good enough reason to get everyone to stop wanting to eat the spaghetti.

Like maybe some people would stop but I sure wouldn't and I know many others wouldn't too. Maybe that just means me and those other people are all evil people who should be killing themselves anyway.

I bet suicide by SN would make my spaghetti taste even better. 🤔

The show does have its points.
I wondered if the method would change the dish. But still pasta based.
Like if I did inert gases it would be lasagna instead of spaghetti
I like the quote about the complexity of life...
It kinda felt like it was trying to tackle question of the right to die, but in the end, it was and is really too complex to be answered.

Suicide by eating spaghetti sounds like delicious way to die, especially if it includes lentil nut meatballs!

I thought the ending was moving and cool, but I agree that I don't agree with its message (with regards to myself at least).

Top 5. My mind was less focused on the suicide elements and more on the rest of the episode.

Love love love rick and morty but I hate that episode so much,,,Felt like suicide was added just for shock value since its a "taboo" topic.... and the flashback scene of that guy's life? Horrible....hard to feel sympathetic for that guy cause not everyone is becoming a Lego ceo or something...didnt agree with the message at all yknow...I feel like the pissmaster episode (where he committed suicide cause like...everyone hated him and where do you go from there) I feel like that episode handled suicide well.... was so disappointed in the spaghetti episode....the jokes were good though but that's it...
