| — Glockenspiel Jerry betraying his family and several Smith family decoys |
Glockenspiel Jerry is a major character in the episode Mortyplicity, and is one of the many Jerry Smith decoys. He is responsible for the deaths of several Smith family decoys, including his own.
After Glockenspiel Beth built a community for decoys to live in peace, the squids eventually found it so they all attempt to escape through a tunnel. Glockenspiel Jerry gets to the other side first and locks everyone else in where the squids are because he wanted to have the family's varnish all to himself.
Biography[]
After scarecrow variants of the Smith family kidnap another decoy Smith family, Glockenspiel Jerry and his version of the Smith family intervenes, saving the other Smith family from the scarecrow versions. They do not care for killing other decoys, instead saving as many as they can. They take their counterparts into a canyon, where a community of various decoys hides underground. Here, Glockenspiel Jerry finds a can of varnish and calls it "a ticket to the world beyond the river". The squids eventually find the canyon and attack everyone in it, causing Glockenspiel Jerry to lock himself in the escape route with the can of varnish, effectively leaving all the decoys to die.
During the epilogue, Glockenspiel Jerry escapes into the wilderness, takes off his clothes, puts the whole can of varnish onto himself and goes down the river. However, he is soon spotted by a group of beavers who use him as a crib for baby beavers. The water floods, putting him to sleep and he wakes to see he is stranded several years into the future in the wasteland that was once Dimension C-131. The descendants of a dolphin and a woodpecker, who speak of him as a relic from a kinder past, take him to their place. Then, he wakes up as part of the ornament of a saloon mirror and sees green, reptilian cowboys who are surprised at him and burn him alive. Finally, he awakens a third time to see yellow humanoids living in their version of the Roman Empire and reenacting the origin of Christianity. Glockenspiel Jerry awakens embedded on the cross of the yellow humanoid Jesus, laments his inability to die and says that this the worst thing that ever happened to anyone.

Trivia[]
- By the end of Mortyplicity, he is the only surviving decoy of the Smith family due to his inability to die.
- With the episode's epilogue taking place in the far future, this also makes him the only person that presumably wasn't affected by Mr. Frundles.
- It has been speculated that his immortality comes from the irony of him betraying his family and many others because he "wanted to live."
