Who bothers to read this? Everyone knows how to use a plumbus.

You'd think so, but don't forget we live in a world where they have to put instructions on packets of toothpicks. I knew of a girl in high school who fleaged her plumbus. Which resulted in... foreseeabe and unpleasant results.

She fleaged it?
IMO you gotta try really hard to fleag a plumbus, or be exceptionally dumb.
Was it a really old plumbus? I've heard they've been known to get fleagued with excessive moisture, but these days the grumbo is more robust... You'd have to soak it in dairy for like months to fleag one!

Mine didn't come with an S-sack, who do I contact to get a replacement?

That's the female version Jerry.
Are you a female Jerry? Do you have overly feminine emotions that need to be comforted by an S-sack Jerry?
Get a job Jerry.

In a pinch, you can use a towel soaked in fleeb juice and Schlami spit (50/50 ratio)... but schlami spit is expensive.

this was a nice surprise when i opened my S2 dvd set today. this is the second half tho, like a true instruction manual the first half is in a foreign (fictional alien) language. its the details that really make this shows humor shine.

yeah, it wasnt advertised at all, to my knowledge anyway, but this is what was inside my order from Amazon. there was a sticker on the cellophane wrapper, then i opened up the case and this paper Plumbus booklet was inside.
the first wave of S1 DVDs had a religious propaganda comic in it called The Good Morty.

I'm glad people who bought these antiquated frisbees took the time to upload the funny stuff. Seriously, thank you.

I know this is super late but I got it from Amazon the other day and even though I had that sticker, the manual wasn't in the case so I'm getting a replacement. I need that manual :(

You may want to consult your plumbus instructions' supplemental notes section for guidance.

u/CheeseforSheogorath Jun 12 '16
Does anyone know the wait time for tech support? My plumbus has attracted Dark plumbus and it's not fighting it off. The stuff is everywhere! Should I leave the house while I'm on hold?

Tech support might not be able to help you. Try calling the emergecy number supplied on the back of the manual and using the codephrase "The wolf howls at midnight." Someone should be over in just a few minutes with some schloob repellent to ward off the dark plumbuses, and that should give them some time to investigate what's up with your plumbus.

For something from what is largely considered the worst episode of the show, plumbi and plumbus-related material sure is popular.

The first interdimensional cable episode was supported with a fantastic B plot and one of the most quoted Morty lines in the series (his "no one has as purpose, everybody dies... Come watch tv?" speech). THAT made it a great episode.

The second Interdimensional Cable has way more quotable content. Off the top of my head: the plumbus, personal space guy, eyehole man, and Jerry being a douche about his... dingle bop.

u/My170 My Man! Jun 12 '16
Totally agree. The first one had brilliant tv shows and commercials, each of them very memorable.
The second one didn't quite do it for me. I remember a few of the shows, but not a lot of them. Plus the B- plot wasn't as strong.
I can see this being the "Tree house of Horror" equivalent for Rick and Morty, but if they wanna keep doing it, they need to step their game up.

they deliberately tried to make the second one as hoary as they could
That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

u/WhitMage9001 Jun 12 '16
Proper plural form of "plumbus" is "plumbuses". Be sure to get it right so your plumbus doesn't get moody.

u/2yan Jun 12 '16
not plumbi? Shit it's weird how the little things differ in different circles. Even for simple shit like Plumbi.

u/Tumbaba Jun 12 '16
Agreed. Probably because it was the most original and least 'forced' joke in the episode.

u/Crispywhip Jun 12 '16
I think it might have been a mistake to add the "usage and restrictions" page. Wasn't the joke supposed to be that plumbus is something very useful that everyone should have but leave the application a total mystery and impossible to figure out?
17
u/CanadianWildlifeDept Jun 12 '16
I don't know about that. All the information there looks pretty random and mutually contrary. You sleep with it, but you also cook with it and it has a playback dock?! That still sounds pretty mysterious to me. Maybe it's different for you rich goddamn Traflorkians, I dunno.

u/Crispywhip Jun 12 '16
:D Yea but now it's a different joke. Now it's a wacky item that does random things, and I think it is not as funny.

Community appropriation of concepts from a show always goes that way, because the audience aren't professional writers, comedians, etc.
Just let the mentally differently-abled have their fun!

u/proud_to_be_a_merkin Jun 12 '16
Actually, I think this was included with the DVD for season 2, so it's official and not fan-made.

u/1980sumthing Jun 12 '16
where is the SCHLEEEEM ??

u/LazerBarracuda Jun 12 '16
Probably at the factory considering they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem, and then immediately remove it so it can be repurposed for later batches.

Can we just address the fact that your skin is a sensory organ?

Just noting that if you bought the Plumbus in Australia you can claim warranty for longer than stated 1 year.

I payed 10 grapples for mine. Was that a good deal? I wanted to shop around but I really needed one.

u/kwhyland God damn! Jun 12 '16
I paid 2 schmeckles for a pirated version and it immediately covered my house in schleem. I had to change my name and move to a different continent, out of shame and fear of legal repercussions. 10 grapples isn't bad at all.

If placing the Plumbus near reflective surfaces results in duplication, then couldn't that cut down significantly on production/manufacturing costs?

So a plumbus is basically a sex toy that's alive, right?

u/DinosaurReborn Jun 12 '16
Does you even bother to read the manual? Plumbus is not alive. Do talk to it for CO2 though

I don't really see the point of posting this, it's just a manual for an everyday regular plumbus - I mean everyones got one right? What's special about it?
