Rick And Morty co-creator and lead vocal performer Justin Roiland was required to get “especially” drunk for an episode of ‘Rick and Morty’ season three.

In a clip released by Adult Swim, co-creator Dan Harmon explains that episode four of the upcoming season of the show needs Rick to be extra drunk.
