![]() ![]() Not only is the initial premise way beyond the show’s typical humour, it's then taken way too far in every direction with no real jokes to cover it. It's not just that it’s gross - although sure, that's a huge part of it. Rickdependence Spray, which I'll always remember as 'the episode where Morty shags the horse machine', has replaced Claw & Order at the bottom of the pile - and what's worse is it feels deliberate. That's not too bad, except Rick complained the whole time that dragons were stupid, and as if to prove him right, the dragons in that episode all loved to have weird orgies together. This episode came in season four - where else? - and revolved around dragons. In most of my previous musings on Rick & Morty, I've found some way to launch a subtle dig at Claw & Order. ![]() Episode four is a gross, sticky disaster.

I've written about Rick & Morty previously, including the - now clearly premature - prediction that season five looked set to correct the missteps of season four. Written and directed by Lee Hardcastle, the shorts follow Rick and Morty characters into parodies of scenes from various science-fiction and horror films.Season five, episode four of Rick & Morty starts with Morty shagging a machine designed to jack horses off, and somehow gets worse from there.
