Morty’s sperm turns into giant monsters that threaten the world in an episode of Rick and Morty that will have you laughing and cringing all at the same time.
In this episode, Morty’s sexual immaturity threatens to bring everyone to their deaths. Rickdependence Spray is like lowbrow whiplash after a serious and emotionally powerful Episode 3.
Season 5 Episode 4 may be the boldest in the series’ history, and it’s almost obscene in its audacity. Early Reddit discussions indicate that this story is either adored or loathed based on its scathing commentary on gender dynamics and its tendency to go too far off the rails. The “Rickdependence Spray” will be remembered for a long time, for certain.
It begins at the horse hospital, where Beth is a heart surgeon for horses. The “breeding mount” used to extract “reproductive material” from the horses piques Morty’s interest as he waits impatiently to see the movie. For the first time since “Raising Gazorpazorp,” Morty displays the same expression that led to the birth of his alien hybrid son.
In some ways, this is even worse.

“Volunteering” at the hospital for a week results in Morty’s body being donated to the “Chuds,” a group of cannibal horse people who live in the caves beneath the city.
Because Rick’s DNA is messed up, his device backfires. Because of the flu, Rick’s love potion went awry, causing it to turn into something that could Cronenberg the entire planet. With enough intelligence and machinery, the sperm can build a trebuchet, understand human language, and eventually allow the Sperm Queen to speak from an android body.
It’s a stroke of genius to give her a voice and gender it as female because it emphasizes the theme of male shame at play in this story. This episode’s exploration of adolescent shame over masturbation has moments that recall Big Mouth. It is well-known that the Netflix series depicts abstract concepts such as self-loathing, anxiety, and the effects of hormones as real-life monsters. If nothing else, normalizing taboos will allow us to talk more openly about them, which has a lot of inherent value. Is this episode of Rick and Morty a little too far? The show is guiding us, so that’s a good thing at this point.

Astonishment seems to be a point of pride for co-creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland. There is one serious rule that Rick and Morty uphold: Never take anything too seriously.
That can make for a strange mix. Remember, Morty has to put a mega seed “way up” in his butt in the pilot episode. Several incest jokes have been made on the show over the years. To make you uncomfortable, it’s designed to push your limits.
The plot twist in this episode is particularly bizarre, as it involves using one of Summer’s eggs to attract the monster sperm to Las Vegas to defeat the creatures. A final battle pits Vegas’ many performers against each other. In this case, the off-the-rails approach works well because the script and one-liners are so well done.
Toxic masculinity and the failures of male bravado are addressed in a well-thought-out way in the film. Summer came up with the idea for the human egg, but a man claims credit for it. The Chuds also show up to lend a hand — or a hoof? — in the battle in Las Vegas, where she and Beth play a key role. For the most part, every man who gets involved in this situation only makes things worse. Rick and Morty, despite the presence of horse people and sperm monsters, have a lot to say about gender dynamics and the patriarchy.
It helps that we’ve already figured it out. Morty tries to keep his masturbatory practices a secret for as long as he can before he is publicly shamed for them. He also develops a strong attachment to one of his sperm monsters, even going so far as to treat it as a pet. (Typical!) When that sperm fertilizes Summer’s egg, resulting in a gigantic mutant incest baby that is shot into space, he gets his comeuppance.
It does have a Rick and Morty Mad Libs vibe to it.
When someone suggests that they kill the mutant incest baby, one of the episode’s best lines — and one that’s easy to miss — is said rather late. That’s a human life, and we’re in an election cycle, declares the President. Although Rick and Morty is a far cry from reality, the show is acutely aware of the inherent absurdity and backward logic of everyday life. Only his re-election campaign is on the POTUS’s mind at this critical moment in time.
