After a huge shoot-out in which most of the employees end up dead, Rick and two of the remaining employees realize that it’s all a big misunderstanding, because they thought Rick was DEA coming after their meth ring. Rick is under the impression that Panda Express is a front for these fortunes, and they’re trying to get Rick’s attention. With Rick getting increasingly agitated, he concludes that something is up with these fortune cookies. Each time, Jerry somehow picks the box with his mother’s name. In a low-tech experiment, Rick writes Jerry’s mom’s name on the inside of one of two shoeboxes, has Jerry say which one he would stick his penis in, switches the boxes while Jerry looks away, and then asks again. The man is fixated on this fortune for whatever reason, but it turns out that his concern this time is actually well-placed. Jerry, naturally, cannot let go of the idea and the fear that the deed is going to happen. It’s hilarious to me that the inciting event of this episode is that simple, especially considering the insanity that it leads to. “You will have sex with your mother,” he confidently reads, before his face falls in worry and everyone in the restaurant turns to look at him. The family, dissatisfied with their fortunes, turn to Jerry, whose fortune is much more…unique. The main target here is the very banal, generic nature of the fortunes such as “hard work often pays off.” For some reason, every time the show drops our characters into a real location (especially if said location is a focal point), it ends up being one of the funnier episodes, and this one is no different as everything about the chain is put on frequent blast. Rick and Morty S6E5 “Final DeSmithation,” pivoting from supernatural horror into a different sort of horror altogether, opens in a Panda Express.
