I’m going to admit that the first minutes of this episode had me for a moment. In the course of the latest seasons, Rick and Jerry have accumulated a relationship through some reluctant adventures together, and it feels that there is more to explore there. Then, when the episode began with the premise they were sharing some kind of night’s night together, I thought I understood with all my heart that we were about to see a genuine moment of Rick and Jerry.
It was only taken a moment for the program to reveal that Rick was using Jerry to pay another of his debts. Fortunately, for the spectators of the USA. UU., Rick’s debt is due to a hellraiser version of hell: make a very foolish but fun episode.
Learn quickly that Rick has been taking Jerry to hang out with a group of demons because the demons derive from pain. And what is a more painful experience than seeing Jerry simply lives the life of him the strictest self of him? Apparently, Rick sold the demons a lot of poor guys (would not be a hallraiser parody with the master) and owed the demons a debt. A evening full of Jerry, making a ridiculous, is a good way to pay for it, then.
Pleasure and pain
‘Amartycan GRickFitti’ is not launched in a high march until Beth joins fun. This is where I realized how well the dynamic Rick / Beth / Jerry Dynamic really works in this show. Jerry is a loser, Rick shit in Jerry, Beth defends Jerry, but Beth is also better than Rick because she ends up degrading Jerry.
The latest seasons have hit home, how similar Beth and Rick are similar. Once Beth is made to comply with Rick for using Jerry to solve his own personal problems, she joins very quickly to mock Jerry for the demon. Since Rick loves Beth, he reluctantly has to save Jerry when the adventure inevitably is wrong and puts him in danger.
The concept of the hellraiser demons is such a simple and stupid idea. You have to prove the writers for how well it works. The logic behind the pleasure derived from pain is so unconscious that trying to wrap your head around, it only makes you laugh. Being in pain makes them feel good, but feeling good is what makes them get angry, which in turn makes them happier.
It is silly, fun and an excellent plot device when Rick simply can not use the multitude of heaps of him to get rid of the demons. Of course, as always, there is a solution driven by Rick to the problem, but he is one that again mocks the concept of how these demons work.
