Broh-nopsis: Things are heating up, y’know what I mean broh?

Our Synopsis: If Rick tells you not to do something, don’t do it. Morty receives a gift from a random stranger on the street.

Discussion:

  • Title Reference: References the 1995 film, “A Kid in King Arthur’s Court” and also the Mark Twain story, “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” 
  • Theme
    • Vat of Acid redux
      • Morty-centric episode where Rick takes a backseat
      • Has a different feeling than Vat of Acid in that Rick isn’t trying to one-up Morty and instead is trying to build back trust
      • Do you feel like this was the writer’s answer to Morty’s continued independence and lack of blind faith in Rick?
    • Being an asshole causes rebellion in the youth
      • The entire cold open is Rick blowing off what Morty wants to do at the pop-up shop and criticizing all of Morty’s comments. No wonder Morty gravitates toward the Knights of the Sun who were kind and polar opposite of Rick. 
      • Rick’s self reflection and growth as a person, trying to be 22% more agreeable to Morty, how do you feel about this change? 
    • Religion aint all that bad / society is held together by (solar) systems
  • Favorite Bits
    • “We’re going to make your dick so fake, buddy”
    • When Morty keeps asking for details about becoming a Knight of the Sun and still ends up missing the whole, “cut your dick off” bit
    • Oooooooaky-dokey
    • All the stained glass
    • The sword has already seen Blade, and loved it
    • The knight that keeps referring to Rick and Wizard
    • That’s it, we’re done. Feels early, but we’re done (in the middle of the episode)
    • Why would I hang out on Pluto, that’s some Jerry league shit
    • The Earl of Earth
    • The dick detectors that look a lot like TSA devices
    • “Their sun-proof bones floated to the top”
  • Best/Worst Parts
    • Goodbye Blue Sky
    • The wrong kind of Meta?
