Rick and Morty has been deemed interesting enough for a post-episode show, modeled after Chris Hardwick welfare programs like Talking Dead and aiming for that baby food chit-chat consistency somewhere between conversations with your barber and TED talks by charter school goons. But the best way to peek behind the Rick and Morty curtain isn’t the streaming post-show on the Adult Swim website, it’s on Twitter, where Rick and Morty’s writing and production staff is unusually active and open about the writing process and what goes into each episode of Rick and Morty Season 3. And now is as good time to check in, since the future of Rick and Morty might just be rewritten forever, right now, on social media, thanks to a moist bee boy and his revolutionary Google Doc.

UPDATE: It's all happening bruh fam.

The future of Rick and Morty began after writer Erica Rosbe tweeted about the fourth episode of Season 3, “Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender,” co-written with Sarah Carbiener.

Enter the aggrieved Bee boy of poonTown, who first responded “This episode sucked fuck you” and followed up with something about donkey dicks and how the latest episode of Rick and Morty was “not imaginative in any way and did not respect the passionate audience’s intelligence.” But soon Bee boy was ready to dialogue, offering “constructive criticism” to the two comedy writers, promising them secret knowledge about “what you could’ve done to improve it.”

So far this looks like a standard Twitter dustup — Anonymous Jackass Feels Entitled To Attention could be the headline for most Twitter interactions. Bee boy would be the perfect subject for egg manning takes on toxic fandom or how much condescending bullshit women comedy writers put up with.

But then everything changed, because Bee boy holds the secret to a true understanding of Rick and Morty.

Since that announcement Rick and Morty writers and producers have held their breath, waiting for wisdom and trying to master the inner mysteries of Google Docs.

No word yet from Bee boy, but presumably the writers will hold off on Rick and Morty Season 4 until they finally get that doc.
