Rick and Morty’s arc is ostensibly about whether or not Rick actually cares about anything. Justin Roiland says that he believes that Rick and the President were best friends in the past, but Rick’s intro in this episode suggests that they haven’t met before. Interestingly, the President doesn’t attempt to threaten Rick himself, which probably suggests that he believes that Rick won’t tell anyone or that telling Rick not to do something is the only way to guarantee that he does it. Between these two episodes, it’s implied that the President will call on Rick and Morty to address a number of off-screen threats, but never allows Morty to take any pictures. It’s also the first time that we see them interacting with the President, who will later become the focus of the Season 3 Finale. This episode marks the first time (aside from the temporary Giant Santa in “Anatomy Park”) that Rick and Morty face a public, global threat. At the same time, all of the Cromulons’ reactions to Rick and Morty are interpreted as being against Principal Vagina’s claims of being chosen by the heads, resulting in him being launched into the sky, temporarily. They, along with the President, perform “Head Bend Over,” which wins the contest. This disqualifies Earth and the Cromulons try to disintegrate it, but Ice-T blocks the shot and advocates that Rick and Morty should get a shot. Morty returns to find out that Earth is up, however, a rogue General, General Nathan (Kurtwood Smith), launches nukes at the Cromulons over the President’s objection. Rick begins to play his improvised song, but it is poorly received. This is the face of a teen who is about to murder her parents. They’re summarily set to be launched into the sky by balloons.
This is the face of a frozen elemental who gives zero f**ks.īeth and Jerry are pleased with how Summer is behaving now that they are part of a cult, but when offered positions within the cult, they refuse, believing that using the Cult as a substitute for parenting doesn’t work. He was punished for his lack of empathy by being frozen and banished, so he doesn’t care about what happens to Earth. Ice-T reveals himself to be an alien from Alphabetrium whose true form is that of Water T. Morty, angry, steals the portal gun and ends up with Birdperson (Dan Harmon) who advises Morty indirectly to put his faith in Rick. This is proven false when Rick shortly forgets his lie and grabs snacks for Ice-T. Morty wants to run away with his family, but Rick claims to not have enough charge in the portal gun. Rick is joined by Ice-T (Dan Harmon) to compose a new song.
This is the face of a man who talks directly to God. After the head moves Earth to a head-filled area, Vagina convinces everyone he can speak to the heads and turns the neighborhood into a cult under his rule. By coincidence, the head tells Rick and Morty “I like what you got” at the same moment that Vagina is praying, so the people believe that Vagina’s prayer pleased the head. Meanwhile, Beth (Sarah Chalke), Jerry (Chris Parnell), and Summer (Spencer Grammer) evacuate to the local church where Principal Gene Vagina (Phil Hendrie) decides to go outside and pray to the head.
The head is pleased by this and teleports Earth to another galaxy filled with giant heads for another performance. Rick proceeds to spontaneously compose the song “Get Schwifty” which, as the President says, is a jam. Desperate, the President asks Rick and Morty to perform. Unfortunately, the Cromulon’s arrival created an earthquake which killed all of Earth’s famous musicians except for Ice-T, who won’t make it in time to save the planet. It turns out that the Cromulons travel to planets seeking a live performance of a catchy new song. SUMMARYĪ giant floating head (Dan Harmon) appears in the sky above Earth and starts exclaiming “Show me what you got!” Rick (Justin Roiland) immediately recognizes the threat as a Cromulon and takes Morty (Roiland) to the Pentagon to inform the President (Keith “f*cking” David). Rick and Morty try to save the world through the power of their music.
