The latest episode, which is bird person centric, seemed like by the far the best this season. They moved away from the gags back to something more character focused. Not a lot of laugh out loud moments, but pretty enjoyable.
Overall my biggest issue with this season is that it's just not very funny, and the characters seem to be doing things that are out of character for the purpose of gags. Kind of things me of what happened to the Simpsons post season 10 or so.
So far, these self contained comedy focused episodes just haven't been funny. In the past they hadn't done so many of these. There was always a citadel episode or two. A Beth/Rick, Beth/Jerry, Morty, etc relationship/character development arc that they had as a side story arc. This season they referenced those arcs, but only as call backs to previous episodes. The call backs seem way to frequent and lazy.
This episode was pretty great though. I'm hoping we get a very solid citadel/evil Morty episode as a finale.
