However, the Cenobites don’t make sense on a basic, literal level, as their general ethos of pain=pleasure doesn’t totally add up. The Cenobites are villains that make sense on a metaphorical level in Barker’s original novella "The Hellbound Heart," where critics have read the monsters as representations of numerous then-prevalent cultural anxieties. However, as Rick And Morty’s Hellraiser parody notes this does not quite add up as, if the pain is a pleasure to the Cenobites, shouldn’t they enjoy being defeated, disarmed, and otherwise rendered harmless? Demons from a dimension where pleasure and pain are interlinked, the creepy monsters were dreamed up by iconic author Clive Barker, and throughout the Hellraiser franchise’s many outings, they inflict all manner of grotesque torture on willing and unwilling victims.

Since then, the series has spoofed everything from Stephen King’s Needful Things to Nosferatu, to even the largely forgotten sci-fi horror miniseries The Langoliers. However, as early as Rick And Morty’s second episode “Lawnmower Dog,” the show featured a goofy parody of A Nightmare On Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger with the surprisingly sensitive dream demon Scary Terry. As the story of an amoral scientific super-genius Rick and his misadventures with his long-suffering grandson Morty, the show naturally parodies family sitcoms and sci-fi conventions more than any other genre. Since the series debuted, anarchic animated comedy Rick And Morty has always had a fondness for parodying classic horror tropes. Rick & Morty’s spoofed the Cenobites of Hellraiser fame in season 5 episode “Amortycan Grickfitti," and proved the demons' entire modus operandi does not add up.
