I think the main problem(s) with this newest episode is that it doesn't feel very cohesive. The horse masturbation machine somehow leads to giant sperm somehow leads to an Independence Day spoof. Add on top of that the dated jokes about how women aren't respected by men that don't make sense anymore, even within the context of the show itself and a "lying is bad" message. I can't decide if the CHUDs (surprisingly not a 4chan reference) or the giant sperm were more pointless. It's kind of impressive how even Reddit hates this episode.
Why doesn't Rick immediately suspect Morty did something wrong considering how weird he was acting as soon as the episode started? And why was Rick so nice all of a sudden in comparison to the last few seasons? It should be a good thing that he doesn't know everything and he's spending time with his family without taking them to alien orgies like a degenerate, but it's jarring because he was a complete dick on semi-God mode (not season 3 tier) for the past few episodes.
This season feels surprisingly aimless, like they're just going through the motions while simultaneously running out of ideas.
