“I’m here about a sandwich”
“The Old Man and the Seat” brought Glootie into our lives, but its parallel plot—about Rick hunting down the mysterious stranger who’s been stealthily using Rick’s special private toilet—was also a Rick and Morty standout. After he furiously analyzes the unfamiliar poop in the sewer system, he’s able to triangulate that it was once a sandwich crafted by a “frog food” joint—run by a fly named Vermigurber. Determined to learn exactly who had that particular sandwich (club sandwich, no lettuce) delivered, Rick busts into the fly’s back-room lair and threatens half of Vermigurber’s 800,000 children to get what he wants. Rick and Morty’s spin on a mobster movie is just as brief, cliché-ridden, and surreal as it needs to be.
