Rick put the bottle away in a secret cupboard and destroyed the remote that opened it. I figure he did not enjoy how this all went down and doesn't want it to happen again. And right before that as Space Beth was leaving Jerry said something about learning a lesson this Thanksgiving, and Rick replied with "Me too." It doesn't look like he planned the whole thing out. When he and Beth were having their conversation about "ice cream" it seemed more like he had recently figured out what was going on because he's done something similar before. Then he advised her to get it out of her system and move on, but the whole family ends up finding out about it and they even used his holodeck (I'm sure he considers this the real crime). It ends up making a bunch of drama and ruining Rick's peace. They had this take place on Thanksgiving which is one of the holidays where you have to deal with your family and all the crap that comes with that. Rick just wanted to hang out and play video games with Summer and Morty, but then they get traumatized by the whole thing, Jerry goes into a cocoon that freaks the Beths out which leads to more drama about giving them a memory wipe, then there's arguments about that aspect. I'm reading it as Rick realized he should have shut the whole thing down right away which is why he locks that bottle up. And now I'm remembering the Creepy Morty Club that was at the Citadel. Maybe this is one of those things you can't completely avoid or control, like a family holiday dinner.

But, then...he deserves this for cloning his daughter instead of telling her he loves her. Summer and Morty...not so much.

Jerry was incredibly this episode: "it's not Handmaid's Tale to loop in your husband" I also love the revelation that Rick has a tattoo on his rear end of he and Jerry as hawks, I love secret bff Jerry and Rick shenanigans

Yeah, this was a great Jerry episode. He was in character, but had more to do than just be a punching bag. I also enjoyed that Venusian was just normal French.

I want the pillbug modification not for emotional insecurity reasons but more Morph Ball from Metroid reasons. I am assuming this follows Metroid rules and he can roll around.

Pillbug Jerry was also an excellent non sequitur. edit: "okay," "thank you," was great too. Can get why people would dislike it, but I think I laughed more at this episode than any in recent memory. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Sep 19, 2022 |

i thought the astroid game was going to be lovely graphixs, but was going to either zoom-into a tinyverse where they remote control a ship/dude or zoom out and theyre remote controlling ship/dude. its like the movie Gamer

Skippy McPants posted:Pillbug Jerry was also an excellent non sequitur. Yeah, I thought this was the funniest episode of the season so far. Also liked that the turkey pardon was just a brief gag at the beginning. Mokinokaro posted:The new CEO of Warner Bros. is also the CEO of Discovery Channel and has basically been on a murder spree against most HBO Max and WB programming. He's big on reality TV and possibly only wanted the merger so he could take control of CNN as he's also a Trumpian. Cartoons are some of the hardest hit of the projects he's killed, including pulling a bunch of finished series just so he doesn't have to pay residials. Oh poo poo, that's why JMS needs a twitter campaign to get the B5 remake pilot made

Froghammer posted:Beth and Jerry discovering kink and it saving their marriage isn't something I knew I wanted, but I'm glad it happened They were completely down for a threesome with Mr. Nimbus last season. Downright thirsting for it at the end. LashLightning posted:They brought in Nolan North, Noted Video Game Voice Guy, for that Realistic Street Fighter bit! I was surprised to see him pop up in the credits of what basically was a bottle epsiode (well, except the short space hike), as I could not place him anywhere in the ep, but after skipping through again I think he was Jerry's buddy in the school flashback. Still, it's commendable that they apparently have him on retainer and give him a call when they need 2-3 lines that could totally be done by a lesser VA.

And right before that as Space Beth was leaving Jerry said something about learning a lesson this Thanksgiving, and Rick replied with "Me too." Yeah just catching up on the thread but the "lesson" he learned seemed to be that he should take a more proactive role in helping with this stuff, since he ended up getting repeatedly dragged into dealing with it repeatedly anyway. Him putting away the space liquor bottle in a secret cabinet and then destroying the remote seemed to just be a way of showing that visually, like "here was one specific catalyst to get rid of" not that it was the only factor like it was secret love potion wine

Also nobody needs a love potion to hook up with their clone. You're only kidding yourself if you think that needs to be a plot point.

live with fruit posted:Wasn’t Morty saying he was thankful for the Discovery Channel? I assumed he was asking why Discovery Channel would allow this, like Job pleading to a mercurial god. Of course after the recent HBO and Cartoon Network bloodbath he might be asking DC to cancel the show and end his suffering.

Nichael posted:Yeah, that's not clear. Season 4 had a quick turnaround with a line about COVID though, so it might be possible with a last minute edit. It really depends on what their production process is like. When it's just one of the characters babbling like that it would probably be relatively easy for Justin to throw the lines out and resync a few seconds of lips. e: Waffleopolis posted:I want the pillbug modification not for emotional insecurity reasons but more Morph Ball from Metroid reasons. Will not be surprised if it gets brought up again and Rick shoots Jerry through a giant monster or something since he's completely invincible inside the shell.

I just watched the episode and my read was that Morty was scrambling for something to be thankful for and that the joke wasn't meant to be topical.

He was saying "why?" as in like "why is this happening/why are we doing this stupid Thanksgiving game while I'm hearing my parents gently caress" and then also coming up with "Discovery Channel" as a random thing to fit Rick's criteria of something to be thankful for. It might have also been an intentional reference to Discovery's acquisition of WB but certainly more in line with "hey bosses, Morty is grateful for Discovery Channel, see we love you parent company!" I am very certain it's not "I am appealing to the corporation that acquired the parent company of the parent company that pays for this show to cancel the show and end my fictional suffering" because otherwise why not just go for the more obvious and direct joke and say like "Dan Harmon" or "Cartoon Network" since they are more immediately and directly responsible for writing the situation he is in.

Because it's funnier to make references that are 3 or 4 metalevels deep. Plus, R&M hasn't ever poked the 4th wall THAT hard. Rick has referenced being in a show and seasons before, but actually naming writers/networks would be a step beyond that.

I think this was one of the funniest episodes this show has ever done, I almost laughed myself into an asthma attack. And then just when I thought it was safe to breathe again they hit me with the end of the post credits sequence.

That was a weirdly wholesome episode considering what it was about. Beth loves herself, and also loves her husband, and Jerry is fine with that as long has everyone involved communicates honestly and openly. The opening of the episode made it seems like Jerry had backslid in his development, but no he really has become a lot more emotionally mature and stable. Also, Beth loves him and at least one of her isn't afraid to admit that now. They're in a way better place than they were in season one and two and that's honestly a lot more fun to watch.

All previous 4th wall jokes have been blatant and/or done more with the sci-fi and visual aspects (like the season 1 promo commercials where they don't have half their bodies). Like Morty could have spelled it out and said "please God, Discovery Channel, anyone! End my suffering!" Instead he is just directly answering his grandpa's question of "what are you thankful for"

Morty's obviously just saying Discovery Channel in response to Rick asking him what he's thankful for. This is not a 4th tier meta joke. loving goons.

I like how Jerry pillbugging is initially presented as "ha ha jerry is weak and is just hiding from all his problems" but it turns out that no, he just needed some space to process the information and think about it before he confronts the Beths. It's surprisingly healthy of him!

Yeah, I was a little iffy on the plot in the middle but the way they made it into kind of serious character development was a good landing and the cut to the dinner table worked well. Good episode. Hope that the season keeps its footing. Also yeah, this thread has kind of a lathe of heaven thing going on. Anybody want to predict what the next episode will be?

I was worried that this episode was returning to the eternal "oh no marital troubles" of the earlier seasons when I was enjoying that Beth and Jerry were allowed to be content together and I'm glad of how it ended. Also the ending was one of the funniest things I've seen in the show.

We've officially moved from "Beth and Jerry have a bad and toxic relationship" to "Beth and Jerry have a good but super weird relationship". They're a pair of weirdos who love and support each other, I guess going to therapy and watching porn together really brought out the best in them.
