Mr. Poopybutthole has a question
The fan-favorite recurring character pops up in “One Crew Over the Crewcoo’s Nest” as Professor Poopybutthole, a gig he holds until he’s fired for fighting off a pack of attacking grad students. In the post-credits scene, he asks Rick why he bothered hiring and training the students to kick his ass—ostensibly, it’s a test by Rick to see if Mr. Poopybutthole still has mad karate skills, an apparently necessary skill for Rick’s fake heist crew—and Rick’s reflective in his response. “Your students all shared a pretty keen aptitude for martial arts. I don’t know if that’s by coincidence or if there’s some correlation for their passion for African American Women’s Studies. Maya Angelou did personify both acquiescence and perseverance.” Oooweee, that Rick and Morty does wring the strangest humor out of the least-obvious places sometimes.
