“Total Rickall” is another of those fiendishly clever ‘escape the box’ situations that the series is so good at: this time, the Smith crew is plagued by space-parasites able to psychically implant fond memories of themselves, such that you can’t tell who’s real and who’s basically a lovable cereal mascot come to life. It’s scenarios like these that remind us that no matter how much you think you know about pop culture, Rick and Morty knows more-and far from patting themselves on the backs for it, the writing team might hate themselves for it. Or PenSylvester, whatever, the name is amazing and I can’t stop thinking about it. In “Total Rickall,” the list of the day is ‘TV trope-y characters, some more probable than others,’ and include nuggets of brilliance like Velociraptor Photographer, Magical Ballerina Lamb, and Pencil-vester. Poopy-Butthole?Īhh, I love the writing team of Rick and Morty most when they’re making virtuostically long lists based on batsh*t topics, whether they’re parallel-universe TV shows from that time the Smiths got infinite cable TV (“BALL FONDLERS” forever), or ironically cursed artifacts from “Something Ricked This Way Comes” (impotence-causing aphrodisiac, anyone?).
If anyone, you’ve got to be real, right Amish Cyborg and Mr. In “Total Rickall,” the Smiths face off with memory-implanting shapeshifters masquerading as their best friends.
