Give me Pickle Rick, Vat of Acid, or Rickshank Redemption any day over some deep take wrapped in a Captain Planet parody.

Now, I was probably just repulsed by the entire concept of eating spaghetti straight from a corpse and couldn't get past that from the start. I get that's the point, but it wasn't funny or entertaining to me. Of course I'll never resent someone for filling their joy quota over something I personally disliked, but it's just not my bag.
It's surface level meaning. There's not much to dig deep into.

I mean jesus if we relied on people to farm their own food, 90% of the population would die in 5 years.
