Watch it a few more times, you’ll get it. I just barely got it and I’m really good at getting things. I still gotta watch it a few more times to really get it. It was genius!

Breaking the 4th wall is when actors reference the fact that they’re in a show or talk to the audience, etc. Basically it’s whenever they break character.

But this show basically created a metaphorical ‘5th wall’ which they then broke. They were breaking the 4th wall so much, so drastically, that they weren’t breaking it anymore. Like they broke out of the 4th wall so far that they went around the world and broke back into it on the other side.

They were extremely breaking character while still staying in character. It’s a paradox yet they still managed to make it exist! Roiland and Harmon and crew did to television what Rick does to science: the impossible.

No the plot was not that we should buy more stuff. Gotta look deeper than that. That part was saying how meaningless our lives have become. We should be living instead of just mindlessly spending. But what else is there? Nothing matters. We’re all gonna die. So go buy buy buy!
