The official episode description reads:
“Jerry makes a friend just as jobless as he is.”
Jerry Smith (Chris Parnell) has been the focal point of a fewRick and Mortyseason 8 episodes, and each one has been a joy to watch. Inepisode 4, “The Last Temptation of Jerry,“it’s Easter, but the family can’t celebrate without some major challenges. Jerry wants to have a great holiday, but something happens that derails the entire celebration. It’s always nice when Jerry gets some screen time. Whilethe entire family is goofy, intense, and hilarious, there’s something particularlymemorable and special about Jerry. While Beth Smith (Sarah Chalke) and Space Beth are fascinating, they’re not easy to relate to. Jerry, on the other hand, is more of an everyman. It sounds like Jerry and another character will bond over their unemployment. Since things always go wrong in theRick and Mortyuniverse, this friendship will likely lead to some major problems for Beth Smith’s husband and Summer and Morty’s dad.
Chris Parnell described Jerry perfectly in a 2020 interview withSyFy.com, and his comments sum up why Jerry is such a singular character. The actor said:
“Jerry’s a bit of a sad sack, but he’s not a bad guy. He doesn’t always make the best choices, but he tries to be fun and he tries to better himself in little ways. It doesn’t take a lot to make Jerry feel satisfied. He’s used to living with not a lot in terms of positive reinforcement or encouragement or that kind of thing.”
Jerry might not go on adventures like Rick and Morty, and he might have an ordinary and sometimes boring life. He might notmake fans laugh as much as some of the other characters. But when he does get involved in the chaos that surrounds his family, his happy-go-lucky personality makes him fun to watch.
