Mr. Nimbus makes a splash.

Adult Swim

Rejoice, Rick and Morty fans, the season 5 premiere is on YouTube now. That means you can meet Rick's watery nemesis Mr. Nimbus without an HBO Max or Hulu subscription.

The new season began Sunday on Adult Swim. Season 5 episode 1, titled Mort Dinner Rick Andre, guest stars Jim Gaffigan, and you can see it on the Adult Swim YouTube channel

The episode title refers to the 1981 film My Dinner with Andre, as Morty spirals out of control trying to catch up with unrequited love Jessica while also catering a little home meal for his eccentric uncle. Rick's dinner companion, debauched oceanic ruler Mr. Nimbus, owes a little something to Marvel's aquatic comic character Namor the Submariner. Watch it right here (there's a ton of cursing, gory violence and sexual situations, but you probably already knew that):

Weekly installments of Rick and Morty arrive Sundays at 11 p.m. To celebrate, fast food chain Wendy's is selling themed beverages that taste of candy and interdimensional adventure.
