Mr. Poopy-Butthole is a long time family friend of the Smith's in Rick and Morty. Has there been any explanation of how he met them?

6I object to calling them Smiths. We all know they are really the Sanchez family.– Wad CheberJan 26 '16 at 15:33

Unknown.
According to his Wikia page:
Mr. Poopybutthole is a long-time family friend of the Smiths. Rick clearly considers him to have long been a dependable person, although it's uncertain how long they've known each other. [...] Mr. Poopybutthole is a very good friend to the Smiths, and although his exact relation to them is unknown, he is described as a long-time friend of the family.
There is a theory that he never really existed, or was never a close friend of the family, and just a false memory implanted by the parasitic aliens. But this theory has been debunked in an interview with Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland, who confirmed that Mr Poopybutthole was real.

3Mr. Poopybutthole is real though, he got shot and didn't turn into a parasite. And then he wen't through rehab therapy to learn to walk again, and well... now I'm just sad for him :(– user20155Nov 22 '15 at 11:47

@LegoStormtroopr Yes, he's definitely real. I just mentioned that theory and its debunking in case you (or anyone else reading) might be a proponent of it :-)– Rand al'Thor ♦Nov 22 '15 at 11:49

4Rick and Morty is a story set in multiverse. Mr. Poopybutthole is real, but nobody ever told that he's from the dimension C-137. Therefore most probable theory is that S02E04 happened in some alternate universe.– oski86Nov 22 '15 at 17:46

That theory you linked has this comment: "Mr. Poopybutthole's origin episode, it's one of the S1 BluRay Easter Eggs." Am I correct in assuming that person was a troll?– kaineDec 1 '16 at 19:32

1@oski86 I believe they confirmed that multiple episodes in season 2 did not follow our normal Rick and Morty pair.– JMacAug 1 '17 at 11:58
