Fart in particular is a delight, often mixing up words when reading people’s minds (“I communicate using what you call ‘Jessica’s Feet.’ No, wait, ‘Telepathy.’”). While the premiere wasn’t a snoozefest, this episode is still markedly funnier. In the midst of all this blowhard theorizing, I should mention: this episode is really fucking funny.
#RICK AND MORTY FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS FREE#
He can leave the daycare of his own free will, and he does, only to be horrified by a world he doesn’t understand. Even the Jerrys that were never picked up decide, in the end, not to leave. He feels like it’s infantilizing-and it super is, there’s a ball bit and a mascot of his wife-but it’s revealed he isn’t trapped there. This is really hammered with what Jerry’s doing in this episode-being stashed away at a Jerry themed daycare for all the Jerrys in every variant universe. The moral message isn’t that life is inherently pain, but that we understand so little about the world that we live in. Morty believed that too, and Fart believes that killing all carbon based lifeforms is the most humane choice, as they inevitably cause destruction to their universes. I’m sure the readers of this review all believe that killing is wrong. But it’s amazing to watch here how Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon set up and validate one system of morality before exposing one that makes no sense on a human scale. This is Rick and Morty, we know there’s no singular “right thing” to do. It’s not like the ending to this episode isn’t telegraphed in the second Fart breaks out into a Bowie-esque song about unity and oneness and having no pain. He decides to save the assassin’s next target-a sentient, psychic cloud that dubs itself Fart, voiced here by Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords. Understandably, Morty’s disturbed by Rick’s blasé attitude. Rick plans on taking the earnings to Blips and Chitz, an intergalactic Dave and Busters. Rick’s sold a gun to an extremely charming and upfront assassin, voiced with all the enthusiastic politeness you’d expect from Review’s Andy Daly (“Oh boy! Here I go killing again!”). In “Mortyight Run,” Morty tries really, really hard to the right thing. At the end of the day I don’t think it’s saying that the world is inherently bad-just that sometimes it operates on a complex system of morality that we don’t have all the pieces to. I’m not sure that Rick and Morty is cynical, despite how much it appears that way.
