“I’m Pickle Rick!”
Adult Swim’s “Rick and Morty” is back with a vengeance. While last night’s episode will forever be remembered as a classic in which Rick turns himself into a pickle to avoid going to family therapy, it was also one of the most violent 30-minutes of television I’ve ever seen.
You see, Pickle Rick gets attacked by a cat and ends up down a storm drain. There, he waits patiently for a cockroach to approach and eats its head. With the brain exposed, Pickle Rick uses his tongue to move the roach’s dead shell and build himself a suit with roach arms and legs. After tricking a sewer rat into a trap, he completes his super corpse suit and ravages several of them by slicing and dicing their innards all over the place. It’s vicious. Once up a pipe, he ends up in a federal prison where he must fight his way out in the goriest of fashions. I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it.
