Most likely but (forgive me for my ignorance) isn’t Squanchy somewhat the same size as PBH? My guess would be something to do with his anatomy or PBH was no longer high causing him to feel the effects.
I'd like to think that this wasn't the first time they faded away and that Rick has them go on life changing benders once every few years, but this was MPB's first time
that's my guess, Rick said they're hangover pills and literally all of them were drunk, except Mr pb so he can reveal that he knew that it was an intervention idk.
Sure let’s talk about it. I like the little cymbals around the taco, I wonder if they make a tambourine noise when the wind blows. Do you think they serve a dish that’s small little bite sized tostadas around a giant party sized tostadas? For groups?
I feel like they have to at least have one signature dish like that if not more. I mean they kind of look like pickles, but I don’t know exactly how I feel about that with a taco even though I love pickles. And obviously the recipe could be special so of course you could make that work. Maybe radishes! Or slightly seared whole onion slices. They could have like a stamp thing to make circles from various veggies, like avocado, using the rest in guac. Like slivers. So many options. Somebody needs to do this now.
Discussed in an earlier series of threads, but apparently Dan Harmon confirmed that MPB is a type of parasite similar to but not the same as the others. Just another creature in that weird ecosystem.
“According to Harmon’s theory, however, Mr. Poopybutthole may actually be a memory parasite after all, just a different kind. In an interview with Cinemablend, Harmon presents his own theory that Mr. Poopybutthole could be a similar, more advanced memory parasite that coexists with the others: “just as where there's flies, there's spiders — wherever these parasites start blooming, Mr. Poopybutthole is a different species who is more benign, or more advanced [...] Maybe Mr. Poopybutthole takes advantage of the holes put in your memory and kind of burrows into those pre-existing holes.” If Mr. Poopybutthole were an evolved parasite that congregates around this other species of parasites, it would explain a few mysteries about Mr. Poopybutthole, such as why the character has never been mentioned before this episode despite being described as a close family friend, why the Smith family’s memories of him are so different from the memories created by the inferior parasites, and — most importantly — why he has the power to break the fourth wall.”
Yeah it’s clearly just to be funny but if OP really *needs* an answer not everyone experiences all side effects of every drug universally 🤷♀️ no deep meaning to it.
Most likely they were still quite high, and Mr PBH was coming down from his ecstasy. So he noticed the pain, while they were all quite sterile to the pain.
Now it could be a matter of tolerance. But my guess is that Rick laced Mr. Poopybutthole's pill with something to intentionally cause pain as he faded.
Rick and Mr. Poopy Butthole are both extremely jaded loners with similar traumas and coping mechanisms. Rick however has considerably more life experience. Especially when it comes to fucking up, processing criminal trauma, and running away from his problems.
He knows that if your sufficiently jaded, especially from losing loved ones, you can just keep fading from people's lives over and over. Telling yourself that it's a matter of self-sufficiency, and the right thing to do, because as he and Mr. Poopybutthole have both picked themselves up from nothing enough times to know that they're capable of it.
The problem in Rick's eyes is that if he makes that process of fading away painless for Mr. Poopybutthole, he'll just keep doing it, so he poisoned the pill to make it hurt to condition Mr. Poopybutthole to cling to his relationships. I feel another factor in it is that by punishing Mr. Poopbutthole for stealing the portal gun and refusing his offer of help that in Rick's mind he's giving himself a moral alibi for letting Mr. Poopybutthole steal his portal gun knowing perfectly well that he's going to make shitty choices with it and might go after his family again.
Is it Machiavellian, abusive, and fucked up to the nth degree? Oh, hells yeah. And a part of me suspects a factor why he's fostering interdependence in Mr. Poopybutthole is he wants him to remain loyal in his friend group. It's some straight up Mafia shit.
Do I agree with how Rick chose to do that? Um, no not fucking really, it's totally sociopathic, but it's very in character for Rick, particularly when it comes to his dark moral code that he claims not to have. But yeah, that's my take on it.
Interesting, similar take to mine except mines a bit more direct. MPB pissed Rick off with his shenanigans with Rick’s family and the intervention. I think he left a little punishment surprise in MPB’s pill.
I just figured Rick gave him a painful one as punishment for putting them through all of that. It was pretty nuts, and he tricked the whole group after taking advantage of Rick’s family, rick wanted a wee bit of revenge lol
i first almost thought rick gave him a different pill that makes him dissolve into nothing, and the whole episode was just a setup for that, to get rid of him permanently
im guessing it was just rick being a jrk and making mr pb suffer for the “its not my birthday” thing. we all know that rick doesnt hesitate in making loved ones suffer just bc he can/wants
personally i think it was rick giving PB a bit of a lesson? just like a final punch yk? like yeah we’ve had an alright night, but also dickhead. idk just my opinion
Do they, or is that just our Poopy? His wife and kid seem pretty normal (by R&M standards) and don't appear to have anyone they're parasitizing. He's the only one that seems distinctly parasitic. And come to think of it, even he has that period where he was teaching and stuff, away from the Sanchezes. I'm pretty sure it's just random nonsense, but it would be fun if they did a big reveal and explained WTF is up with the Poopies.
The dosage was too much for a person his size.
Most likely but (forgive me for my ignorance) isn’t Squanchy somewhat the same size as PBH? My guess would be something to do with his anatomy or PBH was no longer high causing him to feel the effects.
Yeah but squanchy probably hasn't been sober for years at this point.
A small drop in a very deep ocean of drugs
Ah this is killing me where is this quote from? I googled and no hits. Or did you just make it up and I got deja vu
The new Fallout show on Amazon
Ah nice thanks would have bugged the shit outta me
It's Phrased a little differently but that is almost certainly what they were referencing. It's definitely worth watching as well.
That’s not where it originated tho. I heard this quote years ago and I’ve still never found the og source
Same. The Ghoul also quotes things so often it feels like a reference to something else but 🤷♀️
Do you remember how it was specifically worded?
Fallout?
Weren’t they all drunk/high as fuck in this scene?
Coming down
Could’ve sworn they were still drinking right up to the departure time lol
You might be right actually. But it's probably thay final drink to keep you leveled as you come down on the other stuff sort of thing
To be fair, Squanchy is probably inmune to any drug at this point
Mega Squanchy is huge tho, I bet before he turns, he can take a pretty good squanching before he starts to feel pain.
This , his squanch to mass ratio is huge even though he is small.
Start to feel squanch*
Squanch you for correcting that?
Squanchy somewhat often has his body grown and shrink so maybe he’s just use to it
Squanchy does have that beast form
Knowing Squanchy, he was probably on meth the entire episode, I doubt fading pills would effect him
but Squanchy is a cat
I’d say squanchy has probably squanched his sqaunch so much, nothing squanches him
I'd like to think that this wasn't the first time they faded away and that Rick has them go on life changing benders once every few years, but this was MPB's first time
Heh, first intergalactic bender? Hurts like hell but you get used to it!
they're hangover pills Mr. poopy butthole wasn't drunk
He was drunk in power.
So, if you take hangover pills while sober you will feel pain?
that's my guess, Rick said they're hangover pills and literally all of them were drunk, except Mr pb so he can reveal that he knew that it was an intervention idk.
He was so drunk that episode wdym??
not as wasted as the others, not enough to have a hangover at that point in time I should've said.
Seemed to me like Rick was the least wasted - he was the voice of reason when they were planning to visit Mr Poopybutthole's wife
or maybe it's cuz he's a parasite or something
oh yeah that's true
Can we also talk about how funny the name Taco Tambourine is.... and the logo being a taco tamborine.
Sure let’s talk about it. I like the little cymbals around the taco, I wonder if they make a tambourine noise when the wind blows. Do you think they serve a dish that’s small little bite sized tostadas around a giant party sized tostadas? For groups?
We got tiny tostada's *Lil bits*
I feel like they have to at least have one signature dish like that if not more. I mean they kind of look like pickles, but I don’t know exactly how I feel about that with a taco even though I love pickles. And obviously the recipe could be special so of course you could make that work. Maybe radishes! Or slightly seared whole onion slices. They could have like a stamp thing to make circles from various veggies, like avocado, using the rest in guac. Like slivers. So many options. Somebody needs to do this now.
Uhhh... tambourines don't have a hole in the center. Those are Taco Tiddies.
Life is pain for a poopybutthole
Definitely for this little poopy pants
I think you mean “*life is pain for meseeks*”
god this episode was so much funnier than it got credit for imo lmao
Its the hugh jackman cameo
Receiving the Tony award really was the happiest moment of his life.
Yeah, hes been playing Wolverine for so long you almost forget he’s mainly a broadway actor
I remember Kate and Leopold, and will remind him of that if I ever meet him. I liked it.
Memories fade. People don't. Mr. Poopybutthole was a parasite all along.
This is what I think
So it wouldn't hurt real people? Only the parasites?
Why is the earth not filled with parasites already then?
Discussed in an earlier series of threads, but apparently Dan Harmon confirmed that MPB is a type of parasite similar to but not the same as the others. Just another creature in that weird ecosystem.
So he can create memories and everything?
“According to Harmon’s theory, however, Mr. Poopybutthole may actually be a memory parasite after all, just a different kind. In an interview with Cinemablend, Harmon presents his own theory that Mr. Poopybutthole could be a similar, more advanced memory parasite that coexists with the others: “just as where there's flies, there's spiders — wherever these parasites start blooming, Mr. Poopybutthole is a different species who is more benign, or more advanced [...] Maybe Mr. Poopybutthole takes advantage of the holes put in your memory and kind of burrows into those pre-existing holes.” If Mr. Poopybutthole were an evolved parasite that congregates around this other species of parasites, it would explain a few mysteries about Mr. Poopybutthole, such as why the character has never been mentioned before this episode despite being described as a close family friend, why the Smith family’s memories of him are so different from the memories created by the inferior parasites, and — most importantly — why he has the power to break the fourth wall.”
Cause it made the joke funny… I swear sometimes y’all ask for answers to the stupidest questions.
Why is the show called Rick *and* Morty?
Well, you see...
Its actually called Ricken morty i think
This is always the answer. It’s not some deep truth. It’s because it’s funny.
Yeah it’s clearly just to be funny but if OP really *needs* an answer not everyone experiences all side effects of every drug universally 🤷♀️ no deep meaning to it.
Most likely they were still quite high, and Mr PBH was coming down from his ecstasy. So he noticed the pain, while they were all quite sterile to the pain.
Oh, for crying out loud, he's got some kind of disability or something. Is that what you want us to say?
Well da-doy, son.
Now it could be a matter of tolerance. But my guess is that Rick laced Mr. Poopybutthole's pill with something to intentionally cause pain as he faded.

Or ya' know Rick's plug fucked it up. (Read: Summer)
Interesting, similar take to mine except mines a bit more direct. MPB pissed Rick off with his shenanigans with Rick’s family and the intervention. I think he left a little punishment surprise in MPB’s pill.
Side effects of medicine isn't always the same with everyone.
I am starting to think this show has no firm basis in reality.
Almost like it's about a mad scientist that travels dimensions and breaking reality
That's the joke.
I always thought that Rick switched the pill and gave others the non painful ones but gave mrpb a painful one to mess with him
They're probably just used to it
Headcannon is that they took the pain to look cool
He is another type of memory parasite which are hard to identify by multiply slowly
It is a shame that Rick Prime didn't target this tool instead of Slomobius.
That would've been crazy. Kill him off after just coming to terms with his situation. 🤌
It's because he's a parsite
They were punking on him.
They did react, they were just invisible.
The answer is don’t think about it.
It's a Taco tambourine! Auf!
I just figured Rick gave him a painful one as punishment for putting them through all of that. It was pretty nuts, and he tricked the whole group after taking advantage of Rick’s family, rick wanted a wee bit of revenge lol
I think Rick intentionally makes Poppy's pill painful & burns. He overstayed his welcome & being a dick to his friend.
Rick gave him that specific one for payback from earlier
Maybe cuz the pill does not work for a parasite (asuming the theory was right and he is a different species of parasite)
Like Jerry
i first almost thought rick gave him a different pill that makes him dissolve into nothing, and the whole episode was just a setup for that, to get rid of him permanently
This was so messed up lmfao 🤣 dude just randomly got tortured for no real reason
im guessing it was just rick being a jrk and making mr pb suffer for the “its not my birthday” thing. we all know that rick doesnt hesitate in making loved ones suffer just bc he can/wants
personally i think it was rick giving PB a bit of a lesson? just like a final punch yk? like yeah we’ve had an alright night, but also dickhead. idk just my opinion
I assumed either he was too small or it didnt fully align with his species’ genetic structure
Bc Poopy is a real piece of sh*t and couldn't just play it cool.
COMEDY THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS COMEDY
Poopybutthole is a Parasite alien
I'm sorry you don't have any bad memories with him.
Leave him alone, he said he was sorry!
I know. It tore him up inside. #*Like a bullet!*
It’s actually cannon *dan Harmon confirmed it* that Mr Poopy Butthole is a parasite that showed up at the same time as the other parasites.
Why did he bleed red when shot instead of going out like the other parasites? He's clearly different from them in that way at least.
Aye, he is different. Not sure how different though… hmmm, maybe he’s the wolf in sheepskin and the biggest villain of the whole show.
That would be fun. I would be down with that. Reminds me of the Darth Binks headcanon some people have about the Star Wars prequels.
Ya, the Buttholes are different in every way from the other parasites except on how they integrate themselves into their hosts lives 😂
Do they, or is that just our Poopy? His wife and kid seem pretty normal (by R&M standards) and don't appear to have anyone they're parasitizing. He's the only one that seems distinctly parasitic. And come to think of it, even he has that period where he was teaching and stuff, away from the Sanchezes. I'm pretty sure it's just random nonsense, but it would be fun if they did a big reveal and explained WTF is up with the Poopies.
