Next week's Rick and Morty is about to get eco-friendly and ultra-cringey on the bad environmental puns.
"Tune into [Adult Swim] on Sunday, July 4th at 11:00 PM to catch the next brand new episode of [Rick and Morty] Season 5, ' A Rickconvenient Mort!'" Swimpedia tweeted. In the episode's promo, Rick and Morty seek shelter from a bad acid rainstorm in Rick's spaceship, which is revealed to be the work of a hover bike-riding anthropomorphic rodent named Diesel Weasel. Threatening to "destroy all things green and natural," his handiwork is interrupted by a flying Captain Planet-looking woman who tells Diesel Weasel that his "acid rain is an acid pain... in the butt," much to Rick's embarrassment.
Captain Planet and the Planeteers, which ran six seasons from 1990-1996, followed five kids selected by the Earth spirit Gaia to help fight their planet's growing pollution threat, often instigated by over-the-top eco-villains. Gifted with rings that allowed them to control four elements -- earth, wind, fire and water -- and the power of "heart," episodes regularly saw the kids combine their rings' powers to form a superhero-like being named Captain Planet, who fought polluters using the forces of nature while regularly talking in puns. This character attribute is heavily parodied at the end of Rick and Morty's promo, with the female Captain Planet declaring that "There's only one solution to Earth's pollution: you!" while pointing to the camera in a fourth wall break.
The latest Rick and Morty episode, "Mortyplicity," revealed that Rick had built countless "decoys" of himself, Morty, Summer, Beth and Jerry to protect themselves from alien assassins, all unaware of their decoy status. However, upon learning that the decoys made their own copies since each decoy Rick believed themselves to be the real Rick, fighting broke out in the hopes that one group would emerge as the true Sanchez family.
Rick and Morty stars the voices of Justin Roiland, Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammar and Sarah Chalke. New episodes air Sundays at 11 p.m. ET on Adult Swim.
