As Rick and Morty fans will know, the animated series wrapped up its fifth season on a bittersweet note with a farewell speech from none other than Mr. Poopybutthole.
He was seen reflecting on the events that had just transpired and it was a surprisingly emotional moment for the show. But where did the writers get the idea from? Well, as it turns out, it came from a pretty truthful place.
“I remember specifically writing the Mr. Poopybutthole monologue on my back, feeling… not my best,” writer Jeff Loveness said. “You could say I was going through a tough time, perhaps putting some of my failures into his voice. I remember just being a part of the couch in lockdown, bearing my soul through the voice of Mr. Poopybutthole, and I just remember thinking, ‘Yes. You’ve done it. You’ve written something true.”
It’s interesting to know that the inspiration behind the speech comes from somewhere real and hopefully we’ll get more moments like this one in Rick and Morty Season 6.
