Key Lore
Jackpoo is a minor insectoid alien character introduced in the Rick and Morty Season 8 finale, "Hot Rick," voiced by British comedian Tom Davis. As BugAnne's former high school boyfriend, he becomes a source of tension when Rick Sanchez accompanies BugAnne to her home planet to attend a coliseum tournament hosted by her parents. During the visit, Jackpoo inadvertently violates the highly strict cultural mating rituals of BugAnne's species. As punishment for this taboo, her parents sentence Jackpoo to a trial by combat inside the planet's grand coliseum, forcing him into a duel against Rick. Rather than completing the ritualistic fight, Rick grows bored, pulls out his portal gun mid-battle, and abandons Jackpoo in the arena to return to the Smith family home, leaving Jackpoo's ultimate fate unresolved.
