Rick Sanchez might be the smartest man in the infinite universes, but that doesn’t mean he’s above slapping his not-so-good name on a product to get some cold hard cash in his pockets. This time around it’s for Old Spice’s line of Invisible Sprays, which means fans of Rick and Morty get a funny bonus scene with our favorite mad scientist… even if it is only a brief moment of sponsored content. (When season four could be years away, we’ll take whatever we can get.)
However, Rick doing another ad also means another late night/early morning rude awakening for Morty. Can you really promote a product unless you have a bunch of anthropomorphic canisters of odor and sweat protection trampling through your grandson’s bedroom? Yeah, probably, but this way is more fun.
This isn’t the first time Rick has announced a new partnership like this. A couple of years ago it was a platter of giant cheeseburgers from Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr running amok in Morty’s bedroom. Hopefully for Morty’s sake, Rick never endorses a line of steak knives.
We’re not surprised Old Spice teamed up with Rick and Morty. Rick and Morty is arguably the best show on TV and Old Spice makes some of the best commercials. Which is why they should make more of these. It could help cover up the stink of having to wait forever for more Rick and Morty.
What other companies would make for a good partnership with the show? Don’t be invisible, tell us in the comments below.
