my only complaint was that i could only give 10 stars. i love it. my country love it. life is best. To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

When I first saw this masterpiece, I had high expectations because Googas was talked about in such amazing ways by a colleague of mine. I finally sat down and watched it with my friends and our expectations were instantly topped. This TV short should not be called a TV short because it is a masterpiece that tops other amazing pieces of media such as Citizen Kane and Pulp Fiction.
When you're watching this, you might think, "There is no way this can get any better." And then it does! If you have not watched this, get all your family and friends, dead or alive, and give them the gift of letting them experience this absolute astonishing piece of film.
This is a story about, perseverance, family, rising up against oppressors, and learning to accept each other. This could be shown anywhere, from preschools to nursery homes. This story could be a metaphor for a variety of things, like the story of Americans rising up against the British instead of sitting idly and letting their oppressors take their land.
Overall, this is an amazing story that never disappoints. To answer the question I posed in the title, yes, yes this is the greatest piece of media of all time. Every single person needs to watch this immediately.

In all of my years as a college professor, my career meant nothing until I pondered Googas. I laughed, I cried. The story Googas conveys is fantastic. It's subtle thriller/slasher elements provide GENUINE HORROR moments. I won't go into what happens in the story as I wouldn't be able to do it justice. The perilous journey, throughout the epic, had me on the edge of my seat for its entire duration. The use of Harmon's story circle within this masterpiece is exceptional. It wasted no time dwelling on any single portion of the story circle. The story arc is phenomenal, still gripping my thoughts, 8 years later. Overall Googas, has easily become one of if not the greatest film I have observed in many a year. This sci-fi, apocalyptic, fantasy, horror epic of the century is up to par with the likes of Shaun the Sheep. The latter of the half being a favorite of mine. But alas, I digress, after all this is not a review of Shaun the Sheep. Googas stands up to social and political norms and is a shining example of a tale of friendship. Altogether Googas deserves AT LEAST a 10/10 rating. I would go bowling again.

When I first saw Googas, I knew I had to see it again. This is an exquisite film that should be preserved for the years to come. Honestly, the Rick and Morty producers shouldn't have even bothered with their show, it can never stand up to this masterpiece. In just five minutes, this movie tells more than more 3 hour films can even dream to do.
