Rick gives Tony one very last warning about using his toilet. Initially, it seems like Rick has killed Tony (reuniting him with his dead wife in a heaven filled with toilets), but what’s really happened is that Rick has trapped him in a baggie filled with Globoflyn, a drug that delivers a mix of your most mundane and most dear fantasies, keeping you sedate and, more importantly, out of Rick’s way. Rick is totally prepared to kill Tony, but the man’s humble demeanor (hi, Jeffrey Wright!) leads Rick to show mercy … until he catches Tony using his toilet again. Rick’s mission to track down the person who defiled his special pooping place brings him first to the drug den of a fly who rules in a world of frogs, then to an intergalactic revolution between robots and lizards, then to the office of a humble cubicle drone named Tony.
#Rick and morty episode 2 season 4 review serial
(Like most dating apps, Lovefinderrz is designed to support serial monogamy, not actual forever love.) Summer, in fact, almost immediately gets set up with her perfect man (okay, well, he’s a sandwich artist who loves Phish, but pobody’s nerfect?), much to her mother’s dismay meanwhile, a frustrated Morty insists that Jerry shut down the app before things get out of hand, which leads to the two of them paying a visit to Glootie’s mother ship, where the Emperor Palpatine–esque leader of the Monogatrons explains that as a “pre-app society,” Earth takes for granted the idea that love is scarce, when actually love is “as abundant as water.” What isn’t as abundant as water? Actual water, which the Monogatrons are hoping to acquire while Earth citizens are distracted by the app as they bounce from relationship to relationship. This means Rick’s attention is not focused on planet Earth, which gives Jerry back at home an opportunity to get into trouble with Rick’s new intern Glootie, who has four eyes, a New Zealand accent (hi, Taika Waititi!), and a tattoo across his forehead reading, “DO NOT DEVELOP MY APP.” It’s a warning from Rick that Jerry, being Jerry, totally ignores, and soon he and Glootie are working together to launch a dating app called Lovefinderrz, which proves to be extraordinarily good at setting up people with their potential soul mates. The only catch, as he discovers, is that someone else has used his idyllic toilet recently, which sends him on a mission to track down the culprit. Seeing him take off in a spaceship, the initial assumption is that Summer is wrong, until Rick’s spaceship arrives in basically an oasis designed for the perfect potty experience. Rick, as the episode begins, just wants to “go on a solo mission” - which Summer immediately calls out at the breakfast table as him wanting to go to the bathroom. Okay, there are actually multiple relatively unconnected narratives here, not just one, but both are essentially about loneliness and isolation, even while at least one of them is ostensibly about, well, pooping. As of right now, Interdimensional Cable II is still my pick for worst episode of the series, but this is a close second.From the simplest of setups comes, once again, a Rick and Morty adventure that simultaneously goes completely haywire even while it exposes the innermost pathos of its characters. And that 'soul orgy' scene.there's only so much boundary pushing I can take. The climax feels like a desperate attempt to keep the joke fresh, as if having more dragons use the term 'slut' somehow makes it funnier. Claw and Hoarder, sadly, hits a wall about halfway through and just keeps spinning its wheels from there. One Crew Over the Crewcoo's Morty's one joke revolving around the endless double crosses in heist movies was enough to carry the episode because the writers were able to successfully build upon it through upping the scale each time it's told. Do I have anything to add? Well, I will say that it IS possible to base an episode around a single joke if it's executed well.
The one silver lining behind this one is that it's still what I consider the lowest point of the season, which means it never sank this low again. Yeah, like I said, my opinion on the episodes from the season's first half hasn't changed. Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim's Morty
