The warmest loaf in our oven this holiday season is the "Poop in my Pants" -- the title of a photo album by adored Rick and Morty character, Mr. Poopybutthole, in a surprise Thanksgiving video.
If you'll remember, Season 2 of Rick and Morty ended with the beloved family friend (wrongly accused of being an alien parasite and shot by Beth) in the throws of pill addiction. But the Season 3 finale caught up with Mr. Poopybutthole to show the happy ending to his harrowing journey. Because while Rick and Morty fans "f*ucked around and wasted your life" for the two and a half years between the two seasons, Mr. Poopybutthole was busy not only recovering, but building a family.
His cryptic promise of seeing us again, maybe with "a big, white Santa Claus beard" already sent fans spinning into theories about a potential Christmas special episode. The new video only seems to give it more credence.
As wistful keyboard music plays, we see the life and times of the the Poopybutthole family: from the loving dates in Cronenberg world, to the heart-wrenching loses of nameless rescue pets. And we dare you to not shed a tear at the gorgeous Beyoncé-inspired pregnancy announcement photos.
So as you're coping with your own dysfunctional family this weekend, don't forget to thank the Mr. Poopybutthole in your life. Because ooo-wee! If he can find love and peace after all his hardships (thanks Beth), then we all can.
