The real saving grace of this episode is the excellent B-plot, a solo Rick adventure where he goes to a super-secret serene alien planet to poop in private only to realize that someone else used his secret toilet. We never really come to understand how a smartphone app influences people so easily, but if you suspend your disbelief it’s still a fun ride The whole thing is a bit bewildering, like when “Get Schwifty” or “Rest and Ricklaxation” temporarily drove everyone crazy.
#RICK AND MORTY SEASON 2 FREE ALL EPISODES SERIES#
The Beth-Summer brawl at an airport featured in the Season 4 trailer happens during this episode when Summer doggedly pursues a series of new soul mates and Beth tries to battle some sense into her. Meanwhile, Lovefinderrzz causes a huge portion of humanity to neglect common sense, personal safety, and even their own babies as the app churns out new soulmates for them on a daily basis. Sam Neill voices the leader of the Monogotrons. Jerry and Morty bully and bumble their way to the mother ship where they’re quickly outmatched by an evil alien leader with strong Emperor Palpatine vibes. Because he’s an idiot, Jerry ignores this clear warning and quickly launches an app he calls Lovefinderrzz (Rick is just “disrupt-aphobic,” he argues), but it’s a gambit by this advanced alien species called the Monogotrons to distract entire planets with the promise of soul mates, all so they can steal water.
Out of nowhere, Rick has a short, chubby pink alien intern named Glootie (Taika Waititi) who has “DO NOT DEVELOP MY APP” tattooed on his forehead. Perhaps also recognized as the Glootie episode, “The Old Man and the Seat” has elements that remind us of “Something Ricked This Way Comes” in that the A-plot winds up being - as Jerry puts it - The Adventures of Jerry and Morty. “The Old Man and the Seat” winds up sitting alongside the likes of “Auto Erotic Assimilation” and “Pickle Rick” in how it gives us an insightful look at Rick’s deep inner life.įull spoilers follow for Rick and Morty Season 4, Episode 2 “The Old Man and the Seat.” Leave it to Rick and Morty to somehow tell a really touching story about how a super genius deals with being a shy pooper, wielding potty humor like a poop knife to examine how Rick being a shy pooper is a reflection of his fragile emotional state.
