Some fans consider this the show's best joke yet

Morty's Bechdel test-passing story from "Never Ending Rick" may have been a nerve-wracking experience for the neurotic high schooler, but it left countless others in stitches. The scene's overall self-aware tone can be felt in practically every absurd detail, all the way down to the voice performances. Noting the voice acting of Sarah Chalke and Spencer Grammer in particular, @jeffanderson6806 on YouTube commented, "Props to the voice actresses for accurately mimicking Morty's awkward speaking patterns." Getting down such a specific vernacular is no doubt worth commending, but other fans enjoyed what the joke itself implied on a broader level.

YouTuber @Cornix94 loved that the joke can appeal to just about everyone. "Interesting how you can basically read whatever you want into this," they commented. "Hate political correctness? It's mocking feminist shoehorning. Cool with feminism? It's mocking patriarchal writing culture for its inability to portray women organically."

With such an audacious combination of obscene wackiness and clever commentary, the joke has received some high praise from fans, such as @jonathanpeters7521 who went as far as to say of the gag, "This might be the best joke this show has ever done. It's so perfectly meta and hits the fake placement of women right on the head." It's always a joy to find a scene that has such fun with its satire, let alone one that gets an A+ from just about everyone.
