I like this a lot because the theme from Taxi does, in fact, slap. Last, but certainly not least, is that “Final DeSmithation” is elevated by a running gag about the theme from classic seventies sitcom, Taxi, because of, as Morty explains, a meme from a subculture on TikTok of kids who have decided the theme from Taxi slaps. (However, the post-credits tag joke, which features the rest of the family, is overlong and brings the episode down a tad.) Overall, these two bouncing off each other makes for funny stuff. Rick having to keep Jerry safe like he’s a dumb, defenseless puppy throughout the episode is cute as are his occasional attempts to joke around with Jerry and lighten the mood. From an extend-o-eye that reveals hidden cameras to an ability to duck his head into body to avoid bullets, there’s a great playfulness to all of Rick’s sci-fi abilities this time around, adding welcome charm to what could be more exhausting sequences of Rick effortlessly killing everybody.Īlso charming is that this an episode that pairs up Rick and Jerry, which is a rare but almost always fun character permutation. I don’t think Rick has ever been this Inspector Gadget-like before, with robotic implants extending from all over his body to get he and Jerry out of different binds. As usual, Rick is pretty well in control of the situation, killing baddies and dodging death without breaking a sweat, but his methods this time are consistently fun to watch. There’s a freewheeling, absurd cleverness throughout “Final DeSmithation” and it extends to Rick’s sci-fi powers. High on Life: Is This Xbox FPS Secretly a Rick and Morty Game? By Aaron Greenbaum It’s funny sometimes I got lost in more serious episodes about the Central Finite Curve and other such sci-fi whatsit, but it seems if you tie lofty concepts to stupid nonsense like monsters that shit out cookies, suddenly I’m a regular Stephen Hawking! The central premise, though sparked by Jerry opening a fortune cookie at a Panda Express that foretells “You will have sex with your mother,” is, unlike the sperm episode’s, a lot cleverer than it initially lets on, leading Rick and Jerry down a fortune cookie rabbit hole, culminating in the discovery that the fortunes are being generated by the aforementioned pooping monster as part of a grand scheme to control fate. Proud and happy for him but please mentally prepare yourself for him to be president by 2030 playing GeoGuesser in the Oval Office. Say, this was a fun paragraph, wasn’t it? 1st Episode (2019) - 100 viewers Latest Episode (2022) - 100,000+ viewers, 5k+ in seats is actually such an insane run in just 3 years. There’s also the possibility that Jerry might end up having sex with his mom floating around for nearly the entire episode runtime, but it’s only theoretical up until she actually shows up in the final act, at which point events transpire such that we are eventually subjected to Jerry and his mom’s blurred-out sex organs having a near-collision. It helps that, for one, the grosser stuff doesn’t really pile on until near the end in the form of a big, nasty, fortune-cookie-pooping alien.
