Hi, I'm Mr Boobie Buyer. I'll buy those boobies for 25 schmekles!
[9.6/10] What can you say? It’s the damn Meeseeks episode. The Meeseeks is such a brilliant concept for a premise, and the fact that it can make Summer popular, make Beth a more complete woman, buy struggles in vain to take two strokes off Jerry’s golf game is an amazing bit of absurdity. The recursive quality of meeseeks summoning more meeseeks, and it “getting weird” when they live longer than they’re supposed to goes to such crazy heights. The turn being that it’s Beth who’s able to help Jerry is a nice one, and ties this otherwise unraveling bit of insanity together nicely.
But I like the other story too. Morty wanting to go on his own sort of adventure for once, and Rick crapping on it then encouraging it when he sees the rough time Morty’s having is a rare moment of sweetness (albeit twisted sweetness) between the two. (And hey, the “every tenth adventure” bit comes back!) The dark side of the candy kingdom is harrowing at times, but it fits with the show’s sense of gallows humor, and provides lots of more wild design opportunities for the series’ designers and animators.
Overall, it’s one of those episodes that truly deserves its sterling reputation.
Mr Meeseeks: "Come on out, Jerry!"
Jerry: "Guys, I'll choke up! I'll follow through! I'll do whatever you tell me to do, okay?!"
Mr Meeseeks: "Oh, we're way past that, Jerry!"Morty:*8 "Just give me the portal gun and let's go, please. Please, I just wanna go home."
[Morty sobs. Rick grabs Morty by the forearms.]
**Rick: "Listen, Morty. I just won a bunch of shmeckels. Why don't we use 25 of them to pay Slippery Stair here for a ride back to the village, and then we'll give the rest of the shmeckels to the villagers? Huh?"
Morty: "Really?"
7/10
Man, this show is not afraid to go anywhere with their plot. Gotta say I liked how they brought about the dark side of adventuring out though. Pretty realistic that.
I’m Mr Meseeks! I love this episode so much! The world building here is incredible and the balance between Rick & Morty’s shenanigans and the family’s dilemma is awesome!
HEY LOOK AT MEEE, IM MR MEESEEKS, HELLOOOO
Awesome show, worth checking out.
Good God, I Love every single second of this show.
why is no one talking about the fact that morty almost gets fucking raped
ummm there was attempted rape to morty it was… like not needed and really traumatising
Now THIS is an episode of Rick and Morty I can get behind. Super fun sci-fi concept in the family story while Rick and Morty go on a comedically dark adventure. Really great jokes and a legitimately sweet moment between Jerry and Beth. I also just love the Meseeks, they have a super interesting concept and their shtick never gets old for me.
