Taking the classic main plot / sub plot narrative this week, the main plot around an app, the fickle nature of the modern world where we react to what our devices tell us, and the sub plot about a secret toilet and how the things we hate may sometimes be the things we love or that drive us to be who we are, is subtle and brilliant. in my opinion the sub plot was superb and the true gem. as a fan of the old man and the sea I could see the connection. the final scene in the glade had me emotional which I was not expecting. genius story telling
I swear when I heard Glootie's voice I knew immediately that it was Taika Waititi
Anyway this episode was fun but weird at the same time.. Rick usually doesn't give a f**k about anyone that bothers him, especially not second chances, so I found it weird that he showed compassion for that alien pooper.. Rick didn't feel like himself during this episode and I don't know how to feel about it
So far with this second episode they have random adventures which is fine cuz that's what the show is all about but I wonder if they will go back to the main plot of Evil Morty storyline.. I hope we see big revelation with that storyline
this episode was a great little deep dive into Rick's character
spinning the majority of the episode trying to hunt down the person who took a s*** in his super secret private bathroom planet lol yes You read that right
Rick stops at nothing to to find the culprit
only to fine a lot of his self and his insecurities in The person responsible
The episode ends with one of Rick's most vulnerable humbling moments at an all-time low as he takes a dump in his vast lonely domain that's some deep s***
y'all
So... we had an awesome first episode and this one is about... pooping???
"He crashed into a tree space skiing down mount everest."
Weak stuff. Discarded ideas that wouldn't have made the cut in previous seasons.
Weakest Rick and Morty episode ..
I didn't laugh even once!
I don’t think this is the weakest Rick and Morty episode, season 4 may be a little bit disappointing but I still think it’s good overall, the Morty and Jerry storyline is a little rushed and pointless but I still found a Jerry and Morty adventure entertaining, and I ricks storyline was good too, we get another sad moment in ricks life and kind of learn a little about the type of person he is, for me the worst episode would be the snake episode, this one I quite like.
awww this episode made me actually sad rip Tony i wish they could’ve had a bff life
This one's a real stinker. What starts out with the potential to be another "The Ricks Must Be Crazy" quickly devolves into an absolute nothing of an episode. Rick's dynamic with the toilet guy is simultaneously overly long and underdeveloped, really hated the direction they decided to take with it. Morty and Jerry's plotline is legitimately the most forgettable of the entire show, I completely forgot about it until rewatching this one recently. Really disappointing after a pretty solid season premiere.

[7.5/10] Another fun, endlessly creative episode from the show, one that doesn't try to get too mind-bending or insane (at least by this show’s standards), but which still gives everyone something amusing to do.
My favorite of the three stories is Rick’s defense of his “shy pooper” planet. On the surface level, it’s just an enjoyable outing of Rick going to extreme lengths to exact revenge on someone who’s messed with his intricate plans. But beyond that, I love how the mad pooper correctly diagnoses Rick’s own sense of loss, need for control, and utter loneliness. The way Rick’s anger at this interloper and efforts to demean him are really aimed at himself is palpable, and the way that Rick slowly admits to himself that he does see this guy as a friend and, ultimately, a role model, in his own demented way, is outstanding.
Morty and Jerry’s adventures with the app-developing aliens is a ton of fun too. The way that the initial alien is so polite and friendly, and how he and his overlords are so polite and low key, adds instant comedy to every setup. Morty’s increasing exasperation with his father gets over the top at times, but still gets a few laughs. And the solution to the problem being commiseration between Jerry and the alien at not having a soulmate, and an ad wall, works on multiple levels.
Beth going to her own extreme lengths to “mother” Summer despite Summer going hog wild on the very same act is solid stuff too. While the emotional part of it is a little on the nose, the outsized comedy of every jumping into and out of super-passionate relationship brings the chuckles, and Beth’s increasingly desperate methods to prevent her daughter from going overboard are fun too.
Overall, this is about as “regular” an outing as we get from Rick and Morty these days, so it’s nice to see the show still able to pull off these sorts of adventures!
