Watch the opening of this episode again. Mr. Poopy is in the intro montage going through some terrible stuff with Rick & Morty, proving that they have bad memories with him and he's real!
Also they skipped the scene, but wasn’t there a bad memory that had Mr. PBH stuck in the elevator that turned into a good memory when a parasite entered it?
It doesn’t confirm he’s real if confirms he is an evolved parasite who can plant himself in real memories. There are scenes we’ve seen where we know mr PB wasn’t there yet appears in them.
Matthew Fortuna it was a theory I heard a while ago. It confirmed it was real cause the memory was infact unpleasant. That is until the parasite showed up and everyone cheered
He's an initial red herring. It's not like we're watching every moment of their lives back to back. The flashbacks, from other episodes, alone tells that like every show, they have constant off-screen adventures.
@@all-terrainkillershark1207 Potential spoilers for anyone else reading. The show's established canon, backed by the writers, states that we're always following C137 Rick and his Morty. The one exception was the Citadel (April Fools Atlantis joke), but even that episode started and ended with our Rick and Morty. If we ever do follow another Rick & Morty, it'll be another one-off episode and it will be made clear that they aren't the ones from our main reality. Thanks to a certain -heist- reference from a future episode, we can retroactively state that he's long time friends with Rick and it's through him that the family knows Mr PB. Seeing as how our Rick has also known him for years we can accurately infer a Mr PB has existed in every universe that C137 Rick and his Morty have lived in. Unfortunately, that includes universe c137 (their original universe wherein the earth got turned into messed up Cronenberg world) . Also, aside from the Cronenberg episode, Rick and Morty have changed universes at least once that we know. Back in Morty's mind blowers, we learned that they had to flee the universe in order to escape the squirrels. Whether this place before or after season 3 episode 1 we don't know for sure, (it's implied to be before). Regardless, they currently reside in their 3rd universe which is identical to their replacement universe's timeline, which was in itself already a near-perfect replica of dimension C137 (pre-Cronenberg).
All-Terrain Killer Shark the only time we follow different ricks and mortys is when c137 go to atlantis, it showed us the citadel with numerous ricks and mortys, but we always watch c137 becausehe has the drool on his chin.
There is actually some continuity here! The episode with Fart, at the end after Morty killed it and returned to Rick you could see Rick load the trunk with rocks and one of them had a small pink piece on it (which is what Rick referred to when he said that it could have gotten into the house through some fruit, underneath someones shoe or something)
Yep, and in the very beginning of this episode you can actually see Rick throw away some of those same rocks in the trash and they still had one of those small pink things attached to them. So it is quite clear who contaminated their house with the alien parasites.
With regards to Rick's depression a lot of the most intelligent people tend to be that way. If they don't feel isolated because of it then usually they overanalyse to the point where they're acutely aware of the worst aspects of the world and life. Maybe that's why he "self-medicates" (drinks) so much.
@@rax9874 A hot take? Take a look at the scientific studies that correlate high intelligence, depression, and suicidal ideation. If it keeps on getting brought up then it's because it's a reality that many live with and not simply just conjecture.
I actually heard NPR talking about a social study where they asked highly intelligent people if they were happy or if they would prefer to be ignorant and unaware, and 100 percent said they would prefer not to be intelligent. The two main reason they gave were 1) exactly what you said, they were painfully aware of all the evils and flaws and corruption in our society. And 2) they hated having to deal with the rest of humanity (Stupid AF people). Even funnier they then asked a bunch of stupid people if they thought they would be happier if they were more aware of politics and economics and sciences. And most of them said they thought they would be happier if they had a higher intelligence. . . . .point is, we are all miserable and life is pain 😁😁😁 have a great day You tube!!
@@Strider91 Funny conclusion that i see repeated a lot online, but not true. Life doesn't have to be all misery and pain and everyone is definitely not miserable. Yes there is a lot of pain in life of course, it's not all butterflies and sunshine. It's a mix of good and bad. Where it can sometimes be painful it can also be full of joy, pleasure and adventure. I think its important to keep that perspective.
Mr. Poopybutthole was in every scene of the intro... to kinda let us know he's real. Also, wether it can get darker; I got three words for that: *Keep Summer Safe.*
The first few times I saw this episode I didn't think about what it'd actually be like to have to murderously sever all your most cherished relationships to save the human race. And then to click so firmly into that state of mind that seeing someone you love without any reservation makes you suspicious like "maybe I have to kill them to survive."
This one of my favourite episodes of Rick and Morty, and the first minute or so is a great introduction to series if you're trying to explain it or get someone into it. I showed it to my sister and she was immediately hooked.
Rick is too damn smart for his own good. He can’t let his guard down (you’ll see why by the end of the season). And I loved this one... Ooooh-weeee....
I absolutely love this episode. It's definitely in my top three of the series so far. The whole idea behind the memory parasites is kinda genious. The fact that they can only create pleasant memories makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint, because it would make it much more likely, that the host they're mooching off would trust them and be reluctant to exterminate them. It also makes sense, that as the infections spreads, the parasites take on increasingly outlandish forms, because they have to dig deeper and deeper into the subconcious of their victims to find new forms to take. I especially love the scene between Jerry and Sleepy Gary. Notice, that this is the only memory that doesn't create a new parasite. Instead it is "Sleepy Gary" acting for his own self-preservation, by creating a deeper connection with one of the human hosts, to the point where even after Gary is revealed to be a parasite, the connection is strong enough to make Jerry lose his will to live.
I think Rick is having an existential crisis. We've seen him talking to the camera, and speaking about the episodes themselves. So he realises he's within a TV show, that he has no control no matter how powerful he is within that reality, his life is written on the whims of a few writers, and that he has no control over any of it..
They often refer to themselves as rick and morty from earth dimension C137, so it is pretty well established that we are following the same throughout the show
The show does get darker. Just so you know at the end of each episode we get the claymation production sign (harmonious Claptrap) and from season one it is the creator and his wife. in the first season they are happily on the couch together... they eventually separate and divorce (season 3). Dan Harmon changed the claymation production sign to change with his mood and his life. until he is eventually just clearly giving up and just laying depressingly on the couch. it is unbelievably sad as we slowly see his emotional state as the seasons pass. we not only see it though the heavy nature of the show (love lost, nihilism, drudgery through existence, divorce, loss, death, and life) but we also see it through subtle things like that. Its not all sad as Dan has become a big activist for mental health. It really explains alot about the show and also is pretty heavy. people contest that it was a relationship that would never last but in the end it really is a dark life change so that might have been going through season 2 as we start to get some more interesting deepness.... on a lighter note, i love the fact you are going through the show. you are only scratching the surface!!.... sooooo much continuity and amazing shows ahead... sit back, take a few sips and enjoy the ride! (so happy you are enjoying the show so far).. also on a even more lighter note... the claymation production side did change for a third time, for season 4 :) no spoilers but i think you can guess why.
Basically, we swapped realities when the Jerry's were switched at the daycare with the ticket mix up. The clue that Mr.Poops was real was the fact that he was in the opening.
It's the fact that he is the smartest man in the universe and can travel between realities that makes him that way. He has no need for real personal attachment to his family because he knows there's limitless versions of his family out there and he can trade them in whenever he wants. While his unmatched intelligence isolates him by convincing him that his lack of need for personal attachment is a positive and a huge bonus in a multiverse, he is still fundamentally a human being who has to live and interact with people and therefore harbors the desire for attachment. That dichotomy/conundrum is at the heart of Rick's psychological situation. Because of the multiverse, he knows that individual lives have no grand meaning, which he intellectualizes into an "anything goes/nothing matters" philosophy that precludes one from ever being emotionally hurt. But by "returning" to his family, he is also coming to realize that there CAN be meaning to individual lives in a multiverse through relationships with others but engaging in those relationships means subjecting himself to the possibility (or inevitability) of being emotionally hurt. In other words, Rick is experiencing the great pain of loneliness and isolation because of how hard he is trying to avoid the great emotional pain that comes with forming relationships with and caring about other people.
It's funny how Rick blames Summer for bringing the parasites into the house but it was Rick who did it two episodes ago. When he is putting the green rocks into his car one of the rocks has a pink thing on it. 🤣
This episode probably followed a different Rick and morty as well as episode 2. In the cloud episode (episode 2 of this season), Rick can be seen putting glowing rocks into his car. These rocks can be seen at the start of this episode when Rick puts them in the bin. That’s how the parasite got in.
And nothing of what you just said proves that its a different rick and morty...You even gave an example that there's a continuity between episodes... your post makes no sense at all. And thats why you see Mr.PBH in later episodes. Its the same universe.
It’s the same rick and morty. When Beth is in the hospital looking at Mr poopy butthole, Rick tells her “don’t torture yourself, I made a similar mistake years ago but on a planetary scale”. He was probably referring to when he and morty wrecked earth and went into a different dimension where earth is fine
If you think about it, we don't know anything about the family outside of the household. We don't know most of Summer's friends, Beth's coworkers, Jerry's coworkers, most of Morty's classmates, or anything related to their friends or family. Like where are Jerry's relatives? They exist off-screen.
I spit my drink the first time I saw the random black dude rapping and swearing! :'D The creators are soo clever and subtle with the humor. Pensilvester! Hamurai! Reverse Giraffe (Who btw doesn't have a shoulder for Beth to cry on)! Ooooooweeeee
The name "Mr. Poopybutthole" is the perfect example of the narrative concept that names of things don't matter. Justin Roiland does that a lot. Don't stop the flow of thought, just put in a random name or phrase. Like "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub", it doesn't matter what it meant originally. It worked for the joke, make it make sense later.
I've been so excited for you guys to get to this episode since you started the series. This is always a highlight seeing you guys react to my favorite show. You should look into the games that have been made for the show. It would be cool seeing you two play.
He is depressed because he is so smart, not because his wife left him, everytime he says something cynical its because its filled with what seems as universal truth, and thats why he is sad, the only way to get though this, is by constantly numbing it.(you cant just fix something that is universal, so only way out is just not to think about it)
Now you need to rewatch the INTRO of season 2 episode 4... where in a lot of the cutscenes, Mr. Poopy Butthole is there, as if he’s always been with them.
I feel the shows goal is supposed to make us feel weird/ laughing our asses off lol and I love it like Rick made love to a whole entity last episode and nearly killed himself then next episode its just glossed over lmao that is messed up yet so funny. loving your reactions to this keep it up and would love to see you guys react to more anime maybe down the line someday
With all the hopping between parallel dimensions going on in this series, it's possible that we're simply observing a parallel Smith family, who really _did_ have a "Mr. Poopy Butthole" living with them the entire time. But here's the mind-blower: once you accept that as a possibility, what evidence do we have that we've *_ever_* seen the same Rick and/or Morty twice? Sure, we've seen what _appears_ to be "continuity" between episodes - such as Morty pointing out his and Rick's graves from an earlier episode - but the very episode in which those graves were dug established that a multitude of Ricks and Mortys will have the same adventures, which is the reason why Rick could simply sift through the universes for ones that were entirely identical right up to and including the "Love Potion" disaster, then pick one of the universes where the local Rick managed to un-Cronenberg the world *_and_* happened to die right afterwards. Just because a Rick or Morty _appears_ to reference an earlier adventure, doesn't mean that they were the one we saw _having_ that adventure in the respective episode… In other words, nothing is real; nothing can ever be certain; and anything you think you "know" about Rick or Morty can ever be assumed to be true of the Rick or Morty you are currently seeing on-screen. 🤯
Would you two be able to react to Futurama at some point? (after you're done with Rick and Morty, I'm sure) Its great and in a lot of ways is sort of a spiritual predecessor to Rick and Morty. Its a little old by now but it still holds up, I love it and I think y'all would too 😇 Anyway, great reactions as always you two, these are some of my favorites 👍👍🥞
Disregard all these "Theroies" the writer's have said plenty of times they never really plan out anything, they have said that they have theories on what some of these stories mean? So in other words there is no grand plan, they just come up with ideas for stories.
They have also, very cleverly, mentioned that "Where there are parasites, there are creatures that feed on those parasites that are much more advanced than they are." It's possible that MPBH is one of those "advanced" creatures that was praying on the parasites. Notice that in the opening intro, they worked MPBH into the intro, and he was the one that created the INITIAL flashback that allowed the other parasites to keep coming, after the first one that was the lead to the shows point. Also, they said they never really plan anything out, so maybe they're just meta-retconning. :3
I've recently found your guys' channel and I love your reactions and commentary. Keep it up! ALSO, if you watching the opening title sequence for this episode Mr. Poopy Butthole is in all of the shots.
Mr. Poopybutthole is in the Intro of this episode. With scence we know who dont have poopybutthole in it. This point to the idea that this Rick in Morty from an alternative universe.
Yey, this is one of my top 3 fav, next to 105 and 307 Also, I wrote to under a poll as well, but pls consider reacting to Futurama as well Its a somewhat similiar show, made by the creators of the Simpsons, but it takes place in the future :)
I just realized, Jerry and sleepy Gary's flashback was the only one to not introduce a new character into the house, why? Was he actually in love with Jerry at that point and only wanted to escape with him before Beth shot him?
He knows he lives in a cartoon, he's not smart, he's just smart enough to know that he is in a show... Therefore he knows how to "invent" anything... He's afraid to die... Aka get canceled... This is an unconfirmed theory.
A couple of my favorite lines in the series in this episode. "Rick, I don't like glowing rocks in the kitchen trash." "Well I don't like your unemployed genes in my grandchildren, Jerry, but life is made of little concessions." "Dad, why does our house have blast shields?" "Trust me, Beth, you don't want to know how many answers that question has."
I really think Rick's just too intelligent. 180+ IQ is considered a disability as it almost universally lead to sever chronic depression. I saw a documentary about a guy with some 200ish IQ and he was boarderline suicidal, had been for years and when they asked him why he responded: “Have you ever been in a room full with 5 year olds?“ The reporter said yes. And he said "That's what I experience around regular people" It's really hard for people like this to connect with others at any meaningful level, no one really 'gets them'. Could you imagine never having a meaningful or (to you) interesting conversation? Ever? This makes them feel like outsiders and loneliness is a soul killer. [Edit] I paused to make this comment *literally* a second before you went into it. I elaborated a bit more so I'll leave the post up anyway.
Loved your reactions as always, It would be great if you could react to killing eve or if not I strongly suggest that you watch it. It has just been given a 4th season, and has two great lead actresses.
This is honestly one of my favorite episodes. The introduction of all the weird and zany characters plus the twist at the end.
Yeah it really is one of the best in my opinion, it chages a lot about the series and is also very creative
season 2 has the best episodes
I’m waiting for them to get to pickle rick 🌟
@@itsRanma they just did
Yeah this may be my favorite... definitely one of the top 5
Jerry: *sobbing* “im a parasiiite” Beth: “yeah, but you’re real”
Yea, it was strange they didnt react to that, its a strong line :)
A _real_ parasite? :)
Andrew Ryan liked it.
Truer words have never been spoken
“Yeah” ouch
"He's sorry you don't have any bad memories of him" is one of the best punchlines in writing history.
still makes me sad
I love how Mr Poopy Butthole is incorporated into every segment of the opening montage on this one. I didn't even notice the first time around.
And those segments don't look like happy memories, which contradicts the conclusion of this episode. Did they do this intentionally? Who knows...
Watch the opening of this episode again. Mr. Poopy is in the intro montage going through some terrible stuff with Rick & Morty, proving that they have bad memories with him and he's real!

"It's like if Little Wayne came into Alice in Wonderland"
A lot of fans point to this one as proof that you are following different Rick & Morty’s through out the show.
Tom Martin Ryan Elder, a writer on the show, said in an AMA that we’re always following the same Rick and Morty
Tom Martin there is also a theory that Mr. Poopybutthole IS a parasite but a different species than the others. Check out Mat Pat about it!

Wrong

The alien didnt create a new alien with the jerry boat flashback. The alien was just gay for jerry
Look at the intro, he was always there lol xD They did it just to make us feel like "omg"

Pensilvester! Hamurai! Reverse Giraffe (Who btw doesn't have a shoulder for Beth to cry on)!
Ooooooweeeee
The name "Mr. Poopybutthole" is the perfect example of the narrative concept that names of things don't matter. Justin Roiland does that a lot. Don't stop the flow of thought, just put in a random name or phrase. Like "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub", it doesn't matter what it meant originally. It worked for the joke, make it make sense later.
I've been so excited for you guys to get to this episode since you started the series. This is always a highlight seeing you guys react to my favorite show. You should look into the games that have been made for the show. It would be cool seeing you two play.
OMG YALL ACTUALLY UPDATED EARLY YAY
Thanks for the upload guys, great as always. hope your dog is feeling better!
You guys are incredibly brilliant reactors.. You are on the right path. Love your guts.
This episode contradicts later opening themes where Mr. Poopy appears in 'not to happy' scenes.
cool how the scientists immediately self-quarantines :-D
He is depressed because he is so smart, not because his wife left him, everytime he says something cynical its because its filled with what seems as universal truth, and thats why he is sad, the only way to get though this, is by constantly numbing it.(you cant just fix something that is universal, so only way out is just not to think about it)
8000 iq 😎😎😎
I love when Jerry bout if he himself is real and even parasite Sleepy Gerry is like Wtf?
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Now you need to rewatch the INTRO of season 2 episode 4... where in a lot of the cutscenes, Mr. Poopy Butthole is there, as if he’s always been with them.
I feel the shows goal is supposed to make us feel weird/ laughing our asses off lol and I love it like Rick made love to a whole entity last episode and nearly killed himself then next episode its just glossed over lmao that is messed up yet so funny. loving your reactions to this keep it up and would love to see you guys react to more anime maybe down the line someday
With all the hopping between parallel dimensions going on in this series, it's possible that we're simply observing a parallel Smith family, who really _did_ have a "Mr. Poopy Butthole" living with them the entire time.
But here's the mind-blower: once you accept that as a possibility, what evidence do we have that we've *_ever_* seen the same Rick and/or Morty twice?
Sure, we've seen what _appears_ to be "continuity" between episodes - such as Morty pointing out his and Rick's graves from an earlier episode - but the very episode in which those graves were dug established that a multitude of Ricks and Mortys will have the same adventures, which is the reason why Rick could simply sift through the universes for ones that were entirely identical right up to and including the "Love Potion" disaster, then pick one of the universes where the local Rick managed to un-Cronenberg the world *_and_* happened to die right afterwards. Just because a Rick or Morty _appears_ to reference an earlier adventure, doesn't mean that they were the one we saw _having_ that adventure in the respective episode…
In other words, nothing is real; nothing can ever be certain; and anything you think you "know" about Rick or Morty can ever be assumed to be true of the Rick or Morty you are currently seeing on-screen. 🤯
Would you two be able to react to Futurama at some point? (after you're done with Rick and Morty, I'm sure) Its great and in a lot of ways is sort of a spiritual predecessor to Rick and Morty. Its a little old by now but it still holds up, I love it and I think y'all would too 😇
Anyway, great reactions as always you two, these are some of my favorites 👍👍🥞
God, I love Futurama 😍 Some amazing episodes in that series
Disregard all these "Theroies" the writer's have said plenty of times they never really plan out anything, they have said that they have theories on what some of these stories mean?
So in other words there is no grand plan, they just come up with ideas for stories.
They have also, very cleverly, mentioned that "Where there are parasites, there are creatures that feed on those parasites that are much more advanced than they are."
It's possible that MPBH is one of those "advanced" creatures that was praying on the parasites. Notice that in the opening intro, they worked MPBH into the intro, and he was the one that created the INITIAL flashback that allowed the other parasites to keep coming, after the first one that was the lead to the shows point.
Also, they said they never really plan anything out, so maybe they're just meta-retconning. :3
Let people have their enjoyment Buzz Killington.
@@christianschoff2490 If you want to waste your time getting yourself psyched up for a theory that doesn't matter? Then go ahead.
@@cryhwks I'm SOOO glad I have your permission. xD
@@christianschoff2490 You are welcome.
I've recently found your guys' channel and I love your reactions and commentary. Keep it up!
ALSO, if you watching the opening title sequence for this episode Mr. Poopy Butthole is in all of the shots.
I LOVE this episode and I LOVE your reaction guys! Hahahaha! Son los mejores !!
Actually rick brought in the parasites. You can see him taking the crystals at the end episode 2
Mr. Poopybutthole is in the Intro of this episode. With scence we know who dont have poopybutthole in it. This point to the idea that this Rick in Morty from an alternative universe.
it's not, the writers confirmed we follow the same rick and morty for the entire show
@@corberus3119 Can you link me the evidence?
Yey, this is one of my top 3 fav, next to 105 and 307
Also, I wrote to under a poll as well, but pls consider reacting to Futurama as well
Its a somewhat similiar show, made by the creators of the Simpsons, but it takes place in the future :)
If you rewatch the opening credits.
Mr Poopy Butthole is in every scene in there. They added him right in each one.
4:44 back to the future
I like how they put Mr Poopybutthole in the intro animation for this episode
The best episode in the whole series
Still think this is one of the best animated shows ever..
Forgot to add this to your R&M playlist.
One of the best episodes for sure
I just realized, Jerry and sleepy Gary's flashback was the only one to not introduce a new character into the house, why? Was he actually in love with Jerry at that point and only wanted to escape with him before Beth shot him?
React to Community. Dan Harmon is the Creator of Rick and Morty and Community.
YESSS! I said that on another Rick and Morty reaction.
Soooooo
They got keith david for the episode about fake parasites
I wonder if they also got kurt russell :)
Mr. PoopyButthole was not the Imposter
He knows he lives in a cartoon, he's not smart, he's just smart enough to know that he is in a show... Therefore he knows how to "invent" anything... He's afraid to die... Aka get canceled... This is an unconfirmed theory.
What the fuck
yeeeee i always look forward to these rick & morty reactions !!
8:48 Aids!😆
Awesome you guys, 4 more episodes until my favourite in season 2.
Didn't you check the intro of the episode? He appears in the scenes!! :) Take a look again :D he is part of the family
Mr poopy. Butthole is in the opening credits of this episode
This was a great episode! Hope your dog is doing ok!
Jerry: im a parasite 😫
Beth: yeah,but youre real 😑
Oooooooooooooooo Wwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
By the time you get caught up with the show you’ll either love or hate that phrase.
A couple of my favorite lines in the series in this episode.
"Rick, I don't like glowing rocks in the kitchen trash."
"Well I don't like your unemployed genes in my grandchildren, Jerry, but life is made of little concessions."
"Dad, why does our house have blast shields?"
"Trust me, Beth, you don't want to know how many answers that question has."
Aww. You skipped the second darkest joke of the entire show.
"Summer! I've always loved you!"
"Yep." *blam*
One of my favorite episodes
Anthony looks like uncle Steve.
Enter Mr.poopybutthole....oooooweeee
This is the best episode, at least my favorite.
Wait till they see "The poop in my pants"!
This is my favorite episode of season 2
So this episode played in another dimension where mr poopi buttwhole exists
it's not, the writers confirmed we follow the same rick and morty for the entire show
You are such a nice couple, keep up the good work
I don’t know what you guys are talking about mr poopybutthole has been on the show since episode one
Mr. Poopy Butthole has always been real. He's in the intro.
It's cause you haven't been watching in wide screen. Lol. Just takes him off screen cause he like in background.
I really think Rick's just too intelligent.
180+ IQ is considered a disability as it almost universally lead to sever chronic depression.
I saw a documentary about a guy with some 200ish IQ and he was boarderline suicidal, had been for years and when they asked him why he responded:
“Have you ever been in a room full with 5 year olds?“
The reporter said yes.
And he said "That's what I experience around regular people"
It's really hard for people like this to connect with others at any meaningful level, no one really 'gets them'. Could you imagine never having a meaningful or (to you) interesting conversation? Ever?
This makes them feel like outsiders and loneliness is a soul killer.
[Edit]
I paused to make this comment *literally* a second before you went into it.
I elaborated a bit more so I'll leave the post up anyway.
The Nintendo bit is based on something Justin Roiland actually did.
Loved your reactions as always,
It would be great if you could react to killing eve or if not I strongly suggest that you watch it. It has just been given a 4th season, and has two great lead actresses.
The dark parts are honestly what I come to Rick and Morty for, that and the madness
What don't you guys like about the dark aspects?
i did the same mistake on a planetary scale.... is a genocide joke lol, you missed that
Rick is mostly Cyborg now
