So far everyone’s favorite genius grandpa has spent a whole lot of Rick and Morty‘s ninth season inebriated. That kind of destructive behavior has never been good for Rick or his loved ones. It ‘snot exactly great for anybody. When the smartest man in the infinite multiverse gets heavily intoxicated bad things tend to happen. (RIP Vindicators.) But in a new preview clip, Rick has found a very different kind of vice. He finds true happiness gorging himself at an alien buffet. While drunk. Still very, very drunk.
Adult Swim has provided a fun sneak peak at Rick and Morty‘s next episode, titled “ErickerHead.” That’s a reference to David Lynch’s bizarre 1977 film Eraserhead.
This clip, which almost certainly comes from the start of the episode, ends with an obvious question we should have pondered long ago: why do Rick and Morty ever drive anywhere? Seriously, why do they….?
Before Morty can question the logic of flying someplace when you have access to an interdimensional portal gun, he has to deal with another issue. Him and his sister are stuck watching their grandpa stuff his face at a buffet at an alien German beer garden. It’s a place with bottomless pitcher’s of beer where you can’t hear the sound of galactic genocide the Smith family often deals with.
Rick’s right, that does sound awesome. No wonder he’s “enjoying life” to the fullest at this beer garden. Of course, he’s getting a little too full on food and adult beverage, as the clip ends with Morty and Summer carrying their grandpa outside only to find his spaceship missing.
Who took it and why? Well find out when “ErickerHead” debuts this Sunday, June 28, at 11 p.m. on Adult Swim. Hopefully Rick will sober up at some point. But if he doesn’t, at least we know he won’t be able to drive drunk this episode.
