Mr. Nimbus is one ofRick and Mortys most underrated villains.

When he finds out this toilet has been used by someone else, Rick ruthlessly pursues revenge.

Ricks obsession with his special toilet becomes an absurd symbol of his inability to let go of the past.

After Morty encounters a race of space snakes, he unwittingly sparks aTerminator-style war with time-traveling cyborgs.

Rick and Morty crash-landing into the ocean and meeting Mr. Nimbus.

This sparks an intense (and hilarious) battle between seemingly infiniteSmith family decoys.

Every time we think were following the mainline Smith family, they turn out to be expendable decoys.

This culminates in one final twist that makes this episode a real gem.

They use their sundown selves to perform menial chores like cleaning the dishes and doing crunches.

Night Family is essentially a comedic version of Jordan PeelesUs.

Its a sly satirical metaphor for the exploited working class rising up against the powerful elite.
