Mr Poopy Butthole is a fake memory and a fraud, but not a parasite. You'll see in episode 10.

I would rank the unity episode above the mr poopybutthole one. This one was good, but felt almost like a clip show.

R&M is excellent, but it's a bit irritating to read "this is the best show on TV by far" about so many different shows. There's a lot of good TV out there; it's not just Your Favorite Show and a hundred clones of Three's Company.

Mr. Poopy Butthole was an amazing character and I'm thinking about dropping this show because of how the writers fridged him just to give Beth some extra pathos.

Rick and Morty pretty undisputedly is the best adult-oriented animated comedy on TV right now, I see no need to extend this descriptor to "best show on TV" in general. In terms of its niche it's the best at what it does.

Here's one: A bunch of people who think that TV is a battle of wits between shows and viewers will attempt to overanalyze and overexplain everything until no comedy can exist. TV Tropes will be linked. They will then attempt to reinject comedy into the proceedings by trying to post in the voices of the characters with disastrous results. Sorry about the spoilers.

Are we really comparing analyzing a TV show to making TV Tropes-like lists of things that appear in any form of media?

The plot from this episode is an almost exact copy of the Torchwood episode "Adam" in which the titular character is presented to the audience as a member of the cast who has been there all along, and he's everybody's best friend. Only people who are familiar with the show would notice the change. Like in this episode, he is an alien memory parasite. I like how R&M took the same premise and expanded it 10000% and used it as a vehicle for hilarious vignettes.

On rewatch, apparently a floating ethereal head appears above Earth, booming out "Show me what you got!" and causing all sorts of natural disasters until the planet can prove it can produce a hit song. Rick is shown performing a song with Morty (on synth and tambourine) while one of Rick's lines is "ohhhhhh yeahhhhh, you gotta get schwifty, heyyyyyyy, take your pants off, its schwifty time today". I think Keith David is back as the president also Edit: found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUB5aVxulTk VV How dare you, sir. ex post facho fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Aug 18, 2015 |

President Keith David. Please, please let it be Keith David playing Keith David so it meshes ever so slightly with Saint's Row IV.

So eventually every character in the last episode will be someone's SA name and avatar. You guys realize this right?

I want to highlight Beth's drunk fumbling of Wife/Life Coach into Wife Coach because it just highlights how every scene in this episode was on point and really drives home how Beth is clearly a Sanchez.

Did anybody else notice that Sleepy Gary broke the "positive memory" concept when he and Beth came into Summer's room while she was bouncing on the bed with flashlights and told her "we're trying to sleep?"

I think it still works if you interpret "positive" as "whimsical" or even "saccharine". It kinda fits with how the parasites use a flashback to Rick's bizarre catchphrases to cast doubt on whether or not he's real.

There isn't anything to theorize or speculate about because it's purpose is to be as clear as possible. It's like if you did this with every joke... "Hmm, well, I'm not entirely sure why a black man and a KKK member would enter a bar...they have completely different perspectives on life! Perhaps the KKK member ate a bunch of tacos and had to take a big dump?..." it's empty, you guys.
