Justin Rolland is really good at making silly dumb characters. Mr Poopybutthole fills the same niche that Me Meseeks did and I'd prefer to get characters in that archetype than ever see s other Meseeks.

Mr. Poopybutthole has gotten a lot of development since season one, too. If anything he's sort of ascended from being a side-character. Remember that scene in episode four or whatever where he sits Morty down and helps him with his homework? Considering how both Rick and Jerry gave up on him, it's a weirdly touching moment, especially out of this show.

What makes the Simpsons post-season 8 terrible is that the writers have no confidence in any of their ideas, so they just fling poo poo at the wall. Remember that heart-rending episode with Homer and his mother? Well in a later episode she returns for all of five minutes before dying, and then the rest of the runtime is a James Bond spoof.

Justin Roiland is a fan of Golden Age Simpsons and has said he doesn't the show to be bogged down with wacky side-characters, which means Mr Meeseeks won't be overused.

Speaking of Mr Meeseeks (LOOK AT ME!) did anyone else notice him in the background at Ritz N Chips?

yeah that was a good use of a side character, its not doing anything important to the plot but theres a mini story going on if you notice it

like if in a few episodes you see a group of that second hivemind's guys talking to some zigerian scammers in the background, as long as they don't have any active part in that episode's story it's totally fine

They don't do anything in their own universe, it doesn't exist. The creatures are created by the box, stop existing after finishing their tasks, and are driven to complete them by pain. The longer they live, the more miserable they are, so they strive to be unmade by finishing their assigned tasks.

In their universe, they have it exist on some level. Like, maybe as creatures without time or space.

And maybe when they are brought into our universe, they suddenly have to deal with operating in space and time

They don't have a universe. The box makes them. They hate existing, so they do things in order to stop existing. That's it.

Don't think about it.

They don't exist before the button is pressed, they're basically just an interface device for the box which contains whatever knowledge they're using to help people, and even that is probably just poo poo the box is effectively "googling" from some network. I'd say they were some quantum computing process, and maybe they are to an extent, but if that were true one would have the knowledge needed to help Jerry and that clearly wasn't the case.

But seriously, don't think about it.

Jerry should be seeking help for something the whole episode, reluctant to ask Beth, or Rick, and see the box in the garage when no ones around. Hesitation, a tentative reach. Cut to credits. Post credit scene is just a Meseeks punching Jerry in the face over and over.

that may be untrue. when rick, morty, and summer were trapped between existence and non-existence they should have been in a state of super-imposed existence and non-existence, but there was no visible difference in that measure. perhaps "existence" is having quantum observer status (ie: able to influence the world/timeline). if rick hadn't escaped perhaps he would have returned to the real world but as a phantasmagoric being that is unable to be observed or make any effect on the real world. basically, maybe rick would've been shadowbanned from life if he didn't reclaim his existence.
