It’s almost time forRick and Mortyto return with new adventures for Season 7. Now, Collider can exclusively present the first few moments from the next installment of the show. After years of not seeing his optimism in an episode of the series, Mr. Poopybutthole has returned, but he he’s not doing so hot compared to when he was introduced in the second season of theAdult Swimanimated comedy. More about the new status of his life will be revealed whenRick and Mortycome back to television on October 15, with a very important mission ahead of them.
When Mr. Poopybutthole first appeared on the show, he was, unfortunately, meeting the Smith family when their house was infested with parasitic aliens that altered their memories. To feed on their minds, the aliens made them believe that they had known each other for a long time, making characters like Summer (Spencer Grammer) and Beth (Sarah Chalke) insecure about their own memories. Filled with anxiety due to the situation, Beth shot Mr. Poopybutthole, only to discover that he was a real friend of the family and not a parasite who wanted to kill her.
The new clip from the upcoming episode, titled “How Poopy Got His Poop Back”, shows the character dealing with depression and substance abuse. To justify his current condition, he blames Beth for mercilessly shooting him a while back, only for the worried mother to apologize repeatedly for what she did. Meanwhile, Jerry (Chris Parnell) is in the kitchen attempting to negotiate with Mr. Poopybutthole’s drug dealer.
