![]() ![]() Nearly all of “Rickdependence Spray’s” success depends on how funny the jokes are. No, these are simply some crude jokes about sperm and sex between horse humans. You could say that “Rickdependence Spray” is a breath of fresh air because it’s neither one of those episodes, like the first two of the season, where the humour and characters get lost in an overly complicated sci-fi premise, nor is it one of those episodes, like last week’s, which is just a simple, stupid episode pretending to be something else. (However, I’ll admit it’s humorous that the president is delaying the destruction of the enormous incest baby because it’s an election year.) One of the closing jokes, for instance, consists of Rick French-kissing an anthropomorphic horse, which I suppose is meant to be humorous in and of itself. The episode then relies on increasingly extravagant sperm (and horse)-related spectacles, some of which are entertaining (Beth and Summer’s sperm-riding escapade being the best and most filmic-looking), but there is a problem of diminishing returns, which means the laughs taper off as the zaniness amps up. The most amusing parts involve Morty trying to disguise the fact that he banged a horse sex machine, but the plot can only be sustained for so long on that fabrication. Rick Sanchez (Justin Roiland) A genius scientist and alcoholic whose inventions and experiments serve as the basis for the episodes. It premiered on Jand ended on September 5. The following question is: Is this episode too foolish? I mean, probably I have a hard time thinking of one that is more idiotic. Season 5 of Rick and Morty consisted of 10 episodes. It’s great that it remains true to itself all the way through because that is all it is. Somehow its hilarious but definitely a hit/miss ep, understandable if you hate it. ![]() No, this is simply a pointless episode involving enormous death sperms and, oh yes, cannibalistic horse people. Well, episode 4 might have just ruined any chance that season 5 could’ve been the best season. The advantage this episode has over the previous one is that it includes more funny jokes and doesn’t try in vain to extract an emotional payoff from its plot. This episode’s humour is largely comprised of that imagery and numerous gross-out jokes about sex and spermatozoa, which is problematic given that it follows last week’s “A Rickconvenient Mort,” which likewise heavily leaned on sex jokes. Whether intentional or not, it’s an interesting bit of timing that. In this case, the absurdity takes the form of enormous sperms killing and being murdered in increasingly flamboyant ways. SPOILER ALERT: Do not read until you have watched Rick and Morty Season 5, Episode 4, Rickdependence Spray. Similar to “Pickle Rick,” the setup is immediately abandoned so that the absurdity can begin. Actually, “Rickdependence Spray” seems to have been created in a response to viewers like me who have been snoring during the most recent, overly clever sci-fi puzzle box episodes. ![]() No, this time’s premise isn’t very puzzling. ![]()
