The jokes involving Congress enabling a Presidential doppelganger, and Rick and the President verbal sparring were particularly funny. “Rick & Morty’s Thanksploitation Spectacular” was a funny episode with the idea that Rick and the President played this game every year. A mishap involving a turkey getting infused with the President’s DNA leads to an unholy alliance between the scientist, the boy, and the politician. However, the President was prepared for them and sent out a team of special forces soldiers to stop them. Rick and Morty must disguise themselves as turkeys so they can get the Presidential Pardon. This episode saw Morty accidentally releasing the hidden robot in the Statue of Liberty, leading to Rick and Morty going on an elaborate mission to get their yearly Presidential Pardon. “Rick & Morty’s Thanksploitation Spectacular” was the sixth episode of Season 5 and it was the first episode in the season where Rick and Morty went on an adventure together. Rick & Morty’s Thanksploitation Spectacular The B-Story was much more reliant on pop culture references, particularly American Graffiti, Transformers, and Marvel Comics.
When the episode went to Hell it felt like a repeat of the rescue mission in “Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim’s Morty.” The A-Story was the stronger story since it was a lot funnier, but it suffered from a major issue. The B-Story was about Morty and Summer taking Rick’s car on a joyride around the galaxy.
The A-Story involved Rick and Jerry hanging out with some Hellraiser-style demons, leading to Jerry getting taken to Hell. “Amortycan Grickitti” was split into two stories. But as a standalone episode “Amortycan Grickitti” was a weak offering from the series. “Amortycan Grickitti” was the episode that followed “Rickdependence Spray” and it was a massive improvement on its predecessor. It was not like previous episodes that could parody pop culture and still be funny in their own right. It was an episode that was more focused on parodying genre tropes and relied too much on it. It chronicles the rise and fall of the Smiths becoming mecha pilots and battling monsters from other dimensions. “Gotron Jerryis Rickvangelion” saw the return of the giant incest baby who played a prominent role in the second half of the episode.īesides the giant incest baby, “Gotron Jerryis Rickvangelion” was a parody of mecha anime, like Voltron, and had a narrative like a Martin Scorsese gangster film. “Rickdependence Spray” was a terrible episode and yet the showrunners thought it was a good idea to double down on it. The production staff seemed like they were shocked and embarrassed by what they made. To show how bad “Rickdependence Spray” was just view the behind-the-scenes video. The claim that someone needs a high IQ to understand Rick and Morty will be debunked with this episode. This episode took the worst aspects of Family Guy and South Park’s styles. It was like the writers shouted out random words and tried to fit them into an episode. “Rickdependence Spray” was just a long gross-out gag that involved giant sperm monsters, sex jokes, and an underground race of cannibal horse people. Three words: ‘Giant Incest Baby.’ That sums up “Rickdependence Spray,” an episode that has gathered the reputation as one of the worst episodes Rick and Morty has produced. This wide range in quality means that the episodes of Season 5 can be ranked. It was a season that produced some of the best Rick and Morty has had to offer, and some of the worst episodes in the show’s history. However, Season 5 has been the most divisive in Rick and Morty’s run, so far.
The impact has been so great that many adult animated shows have tried to copy Rick and Morty’s visual style and humor and writers like Mike McMahan and Michael Waldron have gone to work as showrunners on Star Trek: Lower Decks and Loki respectively. It has a devoted fanbase, for good and for ill (who can forget the Szechuan Sauce Incident).
