Main Thang – Meeseeks and Destroy

S1E5 – “Meeseeks and Destroy”
- Originally aired: January 20th, 2014
- Written by Ryan Ridley
- Directed by Bryan Newton
Synopsis
- Morty thinks Rick’s adventures are too dangerous so they make a deal that allows Morty to be in charge of an adventure, which leads them into a “Jack and the Beanstalk” type scenario. At the same time, the rest of the family is having troubles with Rick’s “Meeseeks Box”, a cube that spawns helpful blue creatures called Mr. Meeseeks that normally explode once they have fulfilled the user’s goal. However, despite succeeding in fixing Beth & Summer’s comparatively more difficult issues, Jerry’s meeseeks are unable to help him improve his golf game. In their desperation they summon more Meeseeks to assist them with assisting him, resulting in an endless fractalling group of exasperated Meeseeks becoming increasingly frustrated about their prolonged existence.
