Interesting. The joke about him is that he's both an animal-hybrid and a cyborg, thus the joke is that he has no humanity. Yet, here he is, dancing for himself.
I think the incapable of emotion thing is just how they see him when he's just calm under pressure. But he's very much a sentient being with emotions so this is how he let's out the stress
I think crocubot absconding to a random disco chamber on a nearby alien planet to dance like a maniac is in my top 50 favorite things adult swim has ever produced, no cap.
Unexpected and kind of sadly beautiful to see him showing moves and empathy, not to mention his eager to blend into human with social awareness and wanting to be recognized. lonely dance party helped him vent tho
@@Person-lk1vs just look at the beginning every episode, the pose that the vindicators do change every episode, it also hints what will happen before the episode starts.
I get the feeling Crocobot has had to bury ALOT of terrible memories with all the dirty work The Vindicators have been involved in. This is how he did it.
I realise now that Crocubot had no idea what was happening when that planet blew up, and simply followed along with the other Vindicators story about what happened.
When Crocubot said "RAAAAA!!!" I felt that When you have a feeling, a hope, a dream inside of you that is so big you don't know how you could ever express it. What a feeling. I'm not saying I understand Crocubot, but I know how it feels to not be understood
Rick: "So, you're half cold, unfeeling reptile, half also cold equally unfeeling machine? So your origin is what? You fell into a vat of redundancy?" Crocubot: **dancing intensifies**
Machines need electricity which is heat generated, reptiles need heat to survive. He's literally composed of passion and dancing generates enough heat for him to survive.
I don't think he's cold blooded, at least not in that sense. He was the most caring Vindicator and had somewhat of an ethical compass in Vindicators 3.
His blood may be cold and his flesh may be rigid, but I feel for this being whose passion for dance has transcended those limitations. What he desires most is the feel of movement and the joy of motion.
1:35 i wonder what song they didn't get the rights for it sounds like either "around the world(lalala)" in the intro but it also kinda morphs into "applause" by lady Gaga 😭🤣🤣🤣

@@zaqareemalcolm yeah but what would be the point. Rick hates these guys. He only uses the infinite universe to look for his family because he loves them. These guys are just a couple of scrapped ideas from a studio mandate
With this type of silly character I always imagine the creators must have drawn them when they were kids and now that it's their job they just have to put them the show
The title card reflects the team's state in the episode with the injuries, nice touch. Also true for the following title cards, eg in the next ones blue guy's hand is in a cast.
Honestly, I expected this spin-off to be garbage but I was wrong. This show isn't that bad at all. But I think other cartoon spin-offs like Daria and The Casagrandes are better. This show is more like a 8.5/10
I gotta say, they still got it (in terms of writing). Amazing how much is put in under 3 min; Hilarious and witty banter and also poignancy. Crocubot let it go, but it seems like the other 'cold/unfeeling' side was fighting against himself. It's perfect.
Out of all the Vindicators, Crocubot is the one I'd kinda like to know more about. Most things seem pretty clear for a lot of them by the end of V2. But, Croc is more... private with this stuff? Like I have no idea what or why he's doing this. Or even why he's so private about it.
SCP-682 just broke out at Gate B. I want all available helicopters and MTF units at Gate B now. I repeat: SCP-682 is out of the facility, all available helicopters and MTF units to Gate B now 1:40
I wonder if the artists get a standardized form for what they are supposed to animate. I want to know what a work email asking for a 1 min spiritual journey to a dance floor followed by a dirty dancing homage with a cyborg crocodile looks like.
Same.. it really bothers me when music creators are unreachable.. Dude, like you've made a piece that people like, make it accessible in a way, isn't that like your dream or something?
My 5 year old wants to watch Rick and Morty. I let him watch this today as a compromise. He’s playing with his mom now and just came in and asked me “Dad, what’s that crocodile robots name?” Crocubot. He walked back into his room, closed the door and then told his mom “it was a weird episode. He was dancing and crying”.
It could also be they are showing these because they will return in the main show. Remember just because we saw ONE dimension where Rick killed them, doesn't mean they aren't alive in others. What if.. Hear me out.. But what if they are doing these to hint at how Rick and Morty will get back to earth after Evil morty did the thing. Yes rick gets saved by the vindicators from a universe he DIDN'T kill them, maybe a universe where Supernova actually ASKED for his help after finding out she was caring Million Ants child too. Basically a more kinder team, heck from what we see here... The group shown seem to like Rick more than the one we saw prior.
Yeah definitely expected crocubot to do literally anything but that
At least releasing the water should save a civilization or sth. Bad ending smh
I almost threw up with he licked his own tail. UGH....
Then you were ignoring the obvious foreshadowing.
You are gorgeous 😍
Looking good!
Bro did a side quest just to increase his dancing skills.
A +2 situational bonus to performance checks
@@pr9039 Pathfinder 2e reference?
I think the team behind Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites likes their side characters more than their main characters
Side characters need a chance in the spotlight sometimes.
Eh, Jessie is still the most fleshed out char in Solar Opposites. I'd say Cherie is def second though.
I literally only watch solar opposites for the Wall
@@JB-pw2rl Understandable. I also did at first but legit The Solars have the same energy as The Smiths (American Dad) so they grew on me quickly.
I don't think it's that,, think about how many shows you have watched,, and you though to yourself about hmm they should make a sideshow/spinoff ..
Interesting. The joke about him is that he's both an animal-hybrid and a cyborg, thus the joke is that he has no humanity. Yet, here he is, dancing for himself.
Crocubot is doing his best with what little he has.
the joke is that when he was a man he fell into a vat of redundancy
I think the incapable of emotion thing is just how they see him when he's just calm under pressure. But he's very much a sentient being with emotions so this is how he let's out the stress

Great, now I actually feel bad for Crocobot, turns out he wasn't all unfeeling after all...
:(
I always felt bad for crocobot, he was and still os my fav vindicator
He still fell into a vat of redundancy tho.🤣
These shorts retroactively made him my favorite, I really really like this just as a short film. It’s genuinely fantastic.
This Crocubot is technically an alternate version of the one from season 3.
Crock and train boy were literally the good soul of the team.
Basicaly Cyborg for TT and Green Lantern for JL.
What about ant... man thing... them. He is out of touch but in some ways more human than rick maybe even jerry
@@studywithmir1994 he killed the train dude out of jealousy idk
@Anthony Nieto someone had to
Ghost Train tried to kill Million Ants for being with his ex-wife
I didn’t know what to expect out of this episode…but it certainly wasn’t what I just witnessed😂
this comment is an understatement, if l ever seen one...
I mean... The episode is called "The Dance", and the thumbnail is pretty straightforward
Sums it up perfectly
Wait, is this actually showed in the series?
Maybe they meant like a different kind of dance or maybe a trip to the club.
Unexpected and kind of sadly beautiful to see him showing moves and empathy, not to mention his eager to blend into human with social awareness and wanting to be recognized.
lonely dance party helped him vent tho
I like how the title changes every episode, also explains how each character is doing before the episode starts.
You know… Titles usually change every episode for shows right?
@@dokidoki777 meant the poses the vindicators do every episode, they slightly change every time.
@@enriquemiranda37 what?
@@Person-lk1vs just look at the beginning every episode, the pose that the vindicators do change every episode, it also hints what will happen before the episode starts.

Rick: "So, you're half cold, unfeeling reptile, half also cold equally unfeeling machine? So your origin is what? You fell into a vat of redundancy?"
Crocubot: **dancing intensifies**
Isn't he two kinds of cold blooded? Where did this passion for dance come from?
Not everyone is who they're resume says they are.
Machines need electricity which is heat generated, reptiles need heat to survive. He's literally composed of passion and dancing generates enough heat for him to survive.
He’s a shy dancer.
maybe he has some sort of AI system as part of his conscious/brain? could develop emotions
I don't think he's cold blooded, at least not in that sense. He was the most caring Vindicator and had somewhat of an ethical compass in Vindicators 3.
Croc sneaking off to have a self rave is what we all need in life
To see that Crocubot has more humanity in him than we thought is really interesting
His blood may be cold and his flesh may be rigid, but I feel for this being whose passion for dance has transcended those limitations. What he desires most is the feel of movement and the joy of motion.
This deserves so many more likes than it currently has it better have more by the end of the year hundreds no thousands of likes.
The satisfaction of watching a croc dance is immeasurable
Croc is finally having his break time with some dances, but his machine got broken after the water sank. Interesting to me, isn't it?
Then got turned into paste when Drunk Rick played Saw with the Vindicators
@@LordHydreigon Huh, I'm seeing more croc than bot here.
The thing he’s supposed to thrive in is what brings him down 🤔
That is the weirdest passionate “dancing” montage ever
Okay, so dance time is more important than emergency surgery time?
No, no... it's cool, just... do your thing. Everybody likes to go rogue, anyway.
I fr though the episodes were just a few minutes and we’d have to come back in a week
Wonder If Planetima might join the leader and recruit new members mostly being female anyway.
I don't think Planetina has ever identified her gender. But Planetina is an elemental humanoid.

Yes
😅
😮
All these character arcs and explorations makes their ultimate fate sadder but also funnier. Doesnt matter who you are, you misstep around Rick and that's it
He’s double cold blooded, but he sure does love to dance
When half a reptile, half a robot has better dance moves than you
Me: How could you love him. He’s half unfeeling machine & half unfeeling reptile!
Her: Yeah, but Crocubot can dance.
I am really liking Lady Katana she has a cool design and seems pretty cool, she also seems to be the team medic shame she dies.
Hey! Atleast give a spoiler warning! (:
@@stevendalloesingh1214 if you've watched Rick and morty you know she dies, along with the rest of the team

2:07 Dean Scream
So Crocubot just went full on footloose huh 🤣🤔🤷♂️
He's not dancing because he is free, he is free because he dances
Ok to be honest I think they could have pulled off a full spin-off with the vindacators
I like how all these shorts just make you feel for crocubot, million ants and Alan’s deaths. Everyone else is terrible, except noob noob of course
There is no vindicator 1 on TH-cam its in the show ,I finally found closure
Sometimes you've just got to go somewhere and dance it out.
The title card reflects the team's state in the episode with the injuries, nice touch.
Also true for the following title cards, eg in the next ones blue guy's hand is in a cast.
I worked on the builds for this, it was fun! This is probably my fave episode :)
Far more respect for Crocubot after seeing that splendid performance!🦄
Love the little reference during the intro about how everyone who participated in the battle they mentioned is injured on the title card.
such an elaborate lead up to dancing lmao i love rick and morty
I have never seen a more character appropriate chunk of media in my life.
Honestly, I expected this spin-off to be garbage but I was wrong. This show isn't that bad at all. But I think other cartoon spin-offs like Daria and The Casagrandes are better. This show is more like a 8.5/10
Still high raiting
this isnt really a spin-off its more like a side series
The Casagrandes Not a good Spin Off
Wait what is Daria a spin off of? I didn't know that was a spin off
@@mercyalex4545 Yeah, Daria was originally in Beavis and Butt-Head.
I gotta say, they still got it (in terms of writing). Amazing how much is put in under 3 min; Hilarious and witty banter and also poignancy. Crocubot let it go, but it seems like the other 'cold/unfeeling' side was fighting against himself. It's perfect.
And this alone made him my favorite vindicator
This really makes his death even sadder. He was just a cyber-reptile that wanted to be a dancer.
I love how all these shorts are one free episode.
Out of all the Vindicators, Crocubot is the one I'd kinda like to know more about.
Most things seem pretty clear for a lot of them by the end of V2.
But, Croc is more... private with this stuff? Like I have no idea what or why he's doing this. Or even why he's so private about it.
Feels like they went back and gave the vindicators more fleshed out characters. Interesting
He's not a half cold unfeeling robot. He can dance.
This...this raises a lot more questions than it actually answers.
I need that song in my life like NOW
sounds similar to that song in that davie504 video (DEADMAU5 said this Bassline is IMPOSSIBLE...)
First few seconds sounds remarkably similar to Rhythm Is a Dancer from what I can tell
I'm also glad Tv's Calculon plays the part of a cyborg reptile in this xP
Crocubot should have a dance off with Morty's son. Morty Jr. Also knew some moves
This was beautiful, thank you adult swim.
Croc is my new favorite vindicator, I’m so excited for him in the future
XD
Full release of Crocubot's dance tune when?
I need it
This was the most warm blooded act in the 10 episode sequence I've seen.
SCP-682 just broke out at Gate B. I want all available helicopters and MTF units at Gate B now. I repeat: SCP-682 is out of the facility, all available helicopters and MTF units to Gate B now 1:40
now THIS is the content i subbed for
Half cold unfeeling robot and equally half cold unfeeling crocodile actually feels a lot and expresses himself though dance
Crocubot has to go footloose sometimes
I wonder if the artists get a standardized form for what they are supposed to animate. I want to know what a work email asking for a 1 min spiritual journey to a dance floor followed by a dirty dancing homage with a cyborg crocodile looks like.
Croc, we need your laser eye to seal this fracture!
No! I must dance!
Never expected to see a cyborg crocodile do interpretive dance when I clicked this video
This beat slaps
This makes his death and Dorian 5 way more important to me now thanks guys
Crocubot seriously ditched his teammates to go dancing by himself in some random hut.
Guess even cyborg reptiles need to dance out their frustrations sometimes😂
I would like some shorts of ball fondlers lol
bruh the special features comment was gold with thr hand movement lmaaoo
Oh i know from wich music taken this motive at least it remixed in retro
VINAI - Superman
Guess some guys just need time to chill and pull off a 'Foot Loose' sequence!
Could you explain what's the meaning of footloose?
@@anlozdemir8404 its from the 84 film foot loose. The sequence is Robo crocs solo danceoff. It came from that movie.
I do not even know why I watch this, but everytime an episode comes. I do.
What is that song Crocubot dances? I tried searching: Ryan Elder - Crocubot Dance ,but found nothing..
Same.. it really bothers me when music creators are unreachable.. Dude, like you've made a piece that people like, make it accessible in a way, isn't that like your dream or something?
Connecting six degrees of Kevin Bacon to the humanity of Crocubot. There's a little Footloose in all beings, as well as some Mary Poppins.
i dont have to see any other episodes.... this is the best :DDDDD
"Your skills are required for a job."
0:44 "No, they aren't."
This needs a full length series
Chicken crock bot doing a little Footloose
we have all danced to upbeat music when we are alone late at night
He had a timer, he's half cyborg half CROC. It was his way to heal and rehydrate. Won't it be sad to not see him dance again?
My 5 year old wants to watch Rick and Morty. I let him watch this today as a compromise. He’s playing with his mom now and just came in and asked me “Dad, what’s that crocodile robots name?”

0:41 what's the thing that croc exchanges with the gem?
Everybody needs a little refuge when saving the galaxy.
I thought they already did a footloose in a different episode.
Or does this count as a flashdance because of the water thing at the end?
Now I feel bad that they all ended up dying and only supernova survived
crocubot channeling his inner dirty dancing and footloose to express anger and frustration.
It could also be they are showing these because they will return in the main show.

this is his way to let out the stress he has and to be more free of this mess he's into.

Can’t believe he did all that to footloose dance in a legion of doom dome
