Plumbuses

Plumbus is a fictional device from the animated series "Rick and Morty," designed as a humorous parody of complex, mysterious household gadgets. It appears as an irregularly shaped object with various parts and functions, but its exact purpose is intentionally left ambiguous and absurd, highlighting how some everyday devices seem perplexingly complicated without clear explanation. The humor lies in its detailed, pseudo-technical description despite being a completely fictional, nonsensical object. Essentially, Plumbus is a satirical way to poke fun at overly technical products, illustrating how we sometimes accept complex appliances without fully understanding their purpose.
