While season 4 of the hilarious sci-fi comedy Rick and Morty may (finally) be in its fourth season, many have seemingly begun to overlook or neglect what's been, in many ways, the show at its peak.

This memorable third season of science fiction madness has provided some of the most laughs and most bonkers, mind-blowing concepts yet. This has ranged from Rick taking on pickle form to an entire dynamic society full of Ricks and Mortys.

So while we wait for season 4 to resume after the current break, let us occupy ourselves and get our fix of sci-fi zaniness as we cover and rank each of last season's episodes from worst to best, according to Imdb.com

Episode 9: The ABC's Of Beth (8.0)

Rick And Morty ABCs Of Beth Mechanical Hand

You know you're dealing with a pretty strong season within a pretty great show when even the lowest-rated episode manages to cross the "8" mark. And really, while "The ABC's of Beth" probably won't make you rolling on the floor laughing, there's still plenty to get a kick out of here, beyond the sheer novelty of having a rare Beth-centric adventure with Rick.

Between Beth's (literally) colorful imaginary land called "Froopyland," the endearing heart-to-heart between Rick and his daughter, and funny gags like the dangerous childhood toys Rick made for her, this late-season 3 romp is a memorable one.

Episode 10: The Rickchurian Mortydate (8.2)

Given that this is a season finale, "The Rickchurian Mortydate" leaves a bit to be desired, between the pretty average story involving a run-in with our protagonists and the President, along with a mini civilization in the Amazon. Some funny back-and-forth banter between Rick and the President aside, there aren't a ton of hilarious gags or super creative mind-blowing concepts you'd typically find in this show.

Still, there is quite a bit of fun action to be had, leading up to the eventual heartfelt reuniting of the Smith family, and an amusing post-credit scene that marks the anticipated return of Mr. Poopybutthole.

Episode 3: Vindicators 3: The Return Of Worldender (8.2)

Rick and Morty with the Vindicators.

Given that this episode revolves around a premise that meshes the zany Rick and Morty sci-fi with a fun superhero motif, one would have expected a bit more out of "Vindicators 3." While funny, it does get a bit over-the-top at times, and the goofy jokes don't always land.

Still, there are definitely some enjoyable action romps and chuckle-worthy scenarios to be had here - particularly when it comes to the goofy themes of the Vindicators, which range from a robot croc to a large, anthropomorphized anthill. You've also got the amusing twist that reveals a drunk Rick acting as a Joker-like "villain," which in turn leads to an even funnier twist ending.

Episode 2: Rickmancing The Stone (8.2)

Rick, Morty and Summer drive in a Mad Max car

Who doesn't enjoy an epic post-apocalyptic premise, especially one that draws from one of the most prominent examples in the genre, Max Max? As you'd imagine from a Rick and Morty-meets-Mad Max: Fury Road scenario, there's an onslaught of fun action, zany gags, and outright insanity throughout this one.

"Rickmancing the Stone" sees the dynamic duo getting caught up in some fun shenanigans, which involves Morty growing a muscly self-aware arm wailing on those that had slighted the original owner of this possessed limb. Not only this, but it also sees Summer kicking some butt as she seeks to get over their parents' divorce in her own Furiosa-esque way.

Episode 5: The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy (8.6)

Rick and Morty the Whirly Dirly Conspiracy

Despite Rick assuring his grandson that he would not be partaking in any adventures with Jerry, we get just such an episode halfway through season 3. This is a good thing, though, as Morty's painfully naive and wacky father almost always makes for some funny shows. As an attempt to occupy Jerry with... something following his divorce, he decides to take him to an alien resort chock-full of rides and festivities.

This particularly planet, however, happens to contain an immortality field, which its inhabitants exploit by shooting and otherwise harming eachother only to instantly be revived. As you might expect from this creatively zany show, Jerry finds himself taking part in a conspiracy to coax Rick onto a rollercoaster that briefly exits this immortality field so he can be "wacked" by an enemy of his. This one is rife with hilarious exchanges and goofy scenarios.

Episode 8: Morty's Mind Blowers (8.9)

Rick putting one of Morty's Mind Blowers into the helmet in Rick and Morty

This bombardment of crazy situations cleverly covers quite a few bases by acting as a sort of "spiritual successor" to the famed "Interdimensional Cable" episodes, while still doing its own thing. Rather than feature a slew of wacky and weird TV programs from other dimensions, "Morty's Mind Blowers" takes us into the liquified and stored memories of Morty for the source of its off-the-wall premises.

As it happens, Morty has experienced quite a bit more insanity with his grandfather than we even expected, as Rick's seen to it to wipe and store his memories of traumatic events so Morty doesn't go crazy. Naturally, this means we're in for a wild ride as he loads these memories up, as we jump from a Moonman mishap to a conspiracy by plotting squirrels.

Episode 6: Rest And Ricklaxation (9.0)

Rick and Morty - Rest and Ricklaxation

Rick and Morty have officially become burnt out on their endless barrage of intense, action-packed escapades, and they decide to "detoxify" in order to unwind and put their minds at ease. While their trip to an ultra-sophisticated alien detoxifier proves beneficial at first, it also leads to the split, anthropomorphized "toxins" of our lead characters to separate and eventually plot a worldwide takeover. Yep, this one is just as crazy and creatively awesome as it sounds.

It's also particularly amusing to see the detoxified Morty in his over-the-top cheery and annoyingly perfect ways.

Episode 3: Pickle Rick (9.3)

Rick Sanchez as Pickle Rick

How could you not be intrigued by a 20-plus-minute adventure about a pickle-ized version of a mad scientist attempting to rebuild himself and take control of the hostile rat-infested environment he falls in? Especially when it eventually escalates into an over-the-top action romp with gun-wielding agents? This really is Rick and Morty in top form in terms of bonkers scenarios and hilarious gags.

It's a fun little look into the interesting mind of Rick as he simply attempts to create an off-kilter, escapable challenge for himself, which is capped off nicely by an introspective chat with a therapist - while still in pickle form.

Episode 1: The Rickshank Rickdemption (9.6)

Fans were in for a pleasant surprise when show creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon quietly slipped in the premiere episode of season 3, "The Rickshank Redemption." After well over a year of waiting, this was the epic and laugh-out-loud episode we were all hoping for. This was a good thing considering it would basically end up being a teaser for the rest of season 3, which wouldn't be followed with a second episode until over 3 months after this.

This odyssey has all the edge-of-your-seat action and random, hilarious gags you'd expect from a Rick and Morty season premiere, and then some. We follow Rick from his "memories" to his confinement as he devises a scheme to escape the Galactic Federation prison, which escalates into a bloody skirmish between them and the Council of Ricks.

Episode 7: The Ricklantis Mixup/Tales From The Citadel (9.8)

Wow, where to begin? It's tough to do this emotional dystopian tale any justice in just a few sentences, but alas - we will try.

"Tales From the Citadel," originally marketed as "The Ricklantis Mixup" to throw off fans and hit them with this surprise epic, feels like it should have been the season finale with its insane depth and grandiosity. It truly takes on the vibe of a full-fledged action sci-fi film, as Rick and Morty find themselves returning to the Citadel, which has grown into a massive, intricate society crawling with Ricks and Mortys of all varieties.

The amount of nuance and major events that transpire in this grand 22-minute story is impressive to say the least. At the same time, it still doesn't sacrifice on the comedy front, as the bizarre circumstances of having a whole city full of Ricks and Mortys sets up quite a few funny gags.
