Rick and morty must aid Earth after a giant head disrupts the planet, demanding to see a hit song performed.
This wasn't one of the best episodes, but I would still watch the worst "Rick And Morty" episode over the best "Sonic Underground" episode. This one features a giant head coming to Earth asking for an original song who then brings the Earth to an "American Idol" like parody to judge their planet. Now, I will admit that this actually seems a lot like a certain episode of Jimmy Neutron, but this show just did it better. The gags are as good as ever. We even get some heartwarming moments as Morty goes back to help Rick.
It's certainly unpredictable and the real treat is Ice-T. It all makes more sense for his appearance by the end. While a crazy idea done in an hilarious execution, he really does come off as a sympathetic character in the end. I couldn't tell if this was pro or anti-religious. I like the idea of forming a new one over a being of immense power of which there is evidence of. I mean, that's what would happen in real life, right? I'm glad they have scenes after the credits of every episode. ***1/2
