Why is Wisecrack launching a really quick followup to the shit episode? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Jungian Ego/Shadow dichotomy really tired concept even in Murricartoon media at this point in time? I don't know why they would make a wacky rundown of the concept in this much of a hurry. This doesn't seem like the kind of thing that these jewtube hacks usually go for, it's a little too on the nose and not threading the edge of what their 12 year old audience still finds somewhat illuminating. It's not weird that they did it, it's weird that they wouldn't spend a week or two saying "don't we seriously have anything at least a little bit more fresh at hand? Did we do a run on the pickle rick yet?"

Even if it has to be rick and morty why is this the thing they jumped on in the third season? It doesn't check the box of putting something in the zeitgeist into words in a way that makes the audience feel smart, which is the bread and butter of these shows. This is something the zeitgeist already passed a few years ago, I would think. So what producer thought this is okay? Is this a sign of some kind of executive orchestration?
