Rick and Morty Season 6 Episode 5 Release Credits: What is Morty Watching?
The title of the fifth episode of the sixth season of “Rick and Morty”, “Final DeSmithation”, alludes to the film series “Final Destination”. The characters in the film series struggle to avoid meeting a tragic end. Along the same lines, Rick helps Jerry avoid a dark fate announced by a fortune cookie. The team learns that the cookies are made from space worm droppings. The CEO of the Fortune 500 company that produces fortune cookies is located by Ric and Jerry. After taking out the boss, Rick uses a black hole to eject him and the space worm. Eventually, Rick steps in to stop Jerry from having sex with his mother.
Rick and Jerry’s journey takes up most of the episode, while the Smith family as a whole is absent. We see Beth, Summer, and Morty leaving the house to spend the day at the zoo at the start of the episode. The Smith family is seen again in the episode’s post-credits scene. At the zoo’s gift shop are Morty, Summer, Beth, and Space Beth. Morty watches a TV ad in the store. In the ad, the zoo issues a public service announcement reminding visitors not to ingest zebra-specific animal foods. However, when they continue to eat animal products, people start getting sick. The ad that ends with people killing each other for pet food puzzles Morty.
Presentation of the episode
The episode’s intro, in which Jerry declares his love for the zebra meal at the zoo, is hilariously referenced in the post-credits sequence. As Morty tries to figure out what the twisted and sinister ad means, the episode’s theme is maintained. Morty comes to the conclusion that the zoo depicted in the ad is actually a human zoo and the animals are actually the ones feeding the humans. The ad itself feels like a “Twilight Zone” episode as it begins as a live show from the zoo and quickly turns into a bloody crime scene.
Ultimately, the bizarre and sinister commercial in the episode’s post-credits sequence gives the idea of zoos a humorous spin. It twists the sci-fi cliché of humanity mistreating animals and gives the idea of a human zoo a fascinating new twist. Plus, it explains Jerry’s particular preoccupation with zebra food and gives viewers a glimpse into the madness the Smith family has to deal with on a daily basis. The fact that Summer, Beth, and Space Beth are in a human zoo makes no difference to them, and Morty mumbles to himself as he ponders the publicity implications. The post-credits segment is just an additional humorous interlude and does little to add to the episode’s narrative.
