I've been trying to think of what the green cube could possibly be from the Bushworld Adventures non/episode. It seems like the kind of thing that was meant to be intentionally "don't think about it, it's just some abstract shit, beside's it's non-canonical and not made by the original show's creators" which is just the kind of shit that dan harmon likes using to fuck with people.
Has anyone in here thought of any kind of link it may have? Is it similar any kind of Australian slang?
What up my glip glops? With the announcement of 70 more episodes me and someone else started a new R&M squanchposting group on FB. Dank maymays bring more people and grow the group. If interested send me a PM.
The squirrels are still in their own universe looking for regular Morty, it'd be pretty awesome if after some huge dimension-crossing mad scientist Batman Belt style showdown Rick, Morty or someone drops him in the squirrel universe and they get rid of this guy with a death acorn or something. That'd be a great way for the squirrels, at least the ones from that specific universe to get another appearance.
I found it strange that Rick didn’t just wipe everyone’s memory at the end of season 3 to get his way and get rid of Jerry, like he had done so many times before. While the Ricklantis episode seemed like a one-off adventure exploring the Citadel, I feel like that situation is going to come back hard on C137 in the future. The series needed to keep real Beth out exploring and finding herself, so she could suddenly come back and save the day when it seems like all hope is lost and Evil Morty is about to win.
Just my thoughts on the matter, let me know what yall think!!
Edit: instead of down-voting, can you do me the kindness of replying and telling me why you disagree? I didn’t post this to try and say I’m right, but to get a discussion going about the possibility.
I mean, Rick basically explains to the Gromflamites, who are trying to get him to reveal his inter-dimensional travel math, that it was a fabricated backstory before they end up back in the Shonies (which they never really left). You can kinda tell something's off with that backstory before he ends up saying that he made it up too, since it's implied that both Beth and his wife get killed when that bomb goes off, while the real Beth is actually likely still alive in C-137. So, if that wasn't his real past then where's Beth's mom? Dead? Murdered? Cronenberged?
Still, another Rick killing his wife so that he'd have a reason to invent the portal gun? I could totally see that being the start of Rick's unfeeling alcoholic problems.
I'm new to the sub, so this might have been mentioned before. If so can someone redirect me to a thread?
The main assumption underlying this observation is that Beth and Jerry wouldn't be together if they didn't get pregnant with Summer, and that Morty probably wouldn't have been born if Summer wasn't born first (this is a loose assumption, we can always assume that Beth and Jerry got together again later, but this seems unlikely to happen in SO many universes).
In Episode 8 (the first interdimensional TV episode), Summer realizes that there are a LOT of universes where she's not around. She finds a few, but most of the universes she flips through are "blank" so to speak, so she does not exist in those universes.
However every Rick has a Morty (need reference for "every"). Why are there so many Mortys, if there are so few Summers?
Edit: Fixed episode #
In my opinion, Beth is not a developed character. She has so much potential between her inherited alcoholism, her daddy (and mommy, probably.) issues, her marital problems, etc. Yet she gets neglected by the writers. Rick and Morty is often praised for their exploration of character, but I feel like Beth really got left behind. Even "The ABC's of Beth", one of her defining episodes, leaves me wanting more. But maybe that's intentional, I don't know, I just hope she doesn't keep getting ignored
So Recently, Adult Swim released a Rick and Morty-themed Snickers advertisement themed around Batman '66. Nothing too unusual.
What caught my eye is that there is a tracking shot in which in a tribute to Batman '66 it pans over (mostly) every major villain seen on Rick and Morty, even those who haven't done much yet, such as Phoenix Person.
What I find curious is that "Evil" Morty, the last figure featured, is holding Snuffles / Snowball, Morty's former hyper-intielligent dog, in his arms. All other villains are standing apart, they are the only two together, two characters who are yet to meet on the show.
My prediction (again, loose) is that is this saying that the characters will join up in the show? It wouldn't be too unlike Harmon and Roiland to provide the most major clue to the series' future in its absence in a Snickers advertisement of all things.
Also of note is that to "Evil" Morty's and Snuffles' side is Supernova, Gear-Head, Mr. Needful, Tammy and, as mentioned before, Phoenix Person.
Here it is. What do you think?
Because someone would have had to have been told specifically what to animate: to put Snuffles into "Evil" Morty's arms.
I think President Morty is a Morty that was cultivated as a Prime Morty but turned down or "killed" or left for dead, for some reason or another, and he is back to change everything in his favor.
I also think C137 is the Rick charged with cultivating and training the New Prime Morty.
HIS MORTY IS SPECIAL BECAUSE.....
The citadel of Ricks offered Rick a voucher for a free Morty if his died right? Well if Morty was a basic Morty, Rick could just replace Morty himself right? So why the voucher?
It leads me to believe Our Morty is a special Prime Morty of sorts, definitely a C137-??? Type.
I think the Ricks have failed, in all their infinite genius, at obtaining immortality, and they need an heir.
Morty is the only acceptable heir.(Maybe Summer, but lets not joke here). The Ricks KNEW who President Morty "was". It was "secrets", but these secrets were known.
But, Prime Mortys keep coming out evil :/ maybe ours won't?
Maybe the series will end with Rick having to redeem his voucher and start over with a new Morty, again :)
Does Rick have the power to transcend his original form, insofar that he can cheat death? I mean he basically creates a younger clone of himself and transplants his mind into the clone. That's actually crazy enough to work too, and we're getting there slowly but surely, considering that two guys from MIT just got funding for a way to effectively preserve the neural structures and tissues of a pig brain and they're seeding investment to turn that technology into a product that people can sign up for...kinda like that one cryonics company does...Man, Rick makes you think though: maybe we've been going about solving these problems all wrong.
I've always thought of the evolutionary process to be something where intelligence has the potential to devlop in humans over time that we get infinitesimally closer to God-like or God status; it's not like Rick hasn't shown us this idea time and time again in the things he does that suggest he's--in some sense--a God. A lot of people fear God, at least for now. Religion requires discipline, and discipline takes religion. :P
Sorry it's been a whole year since my last post on my '1998 Theory'. But I will try to give you something worthwhile.
I want to talk about Evil Morty (yes, I know there are already a million post about him!), as there is something really, really wrong about him. I'm not talking about the fact that he is a superintellgent, immoral, unstoppable killing machine. But instead on why the whole of this season has been about him - and why this may indicate what the second half of season 3/ season 4 will be about.
Background:
To generalize, season 3 was not based around what we were told to believe (McDonald's Szechuan sauce), but instead on different types of government. From the Galactic Federation, to wasteland anarchy; to the vindicators 'heroics'; to the council of ricks illuminati; to the cult of Tommy; and even the narcissistic self-importance of the US presidency.
What I find odd, is that in the 'Age of Trump' we were never given a straight up expy of Trump to mock. Heck we weren't even given a Hillary/ Bernie/ Rubio/ Cruz or even a Kim Jong-un figure to mock. We could have had anything from a truly egotistical Rick, to an incompetent Morty, or hell even a god damn Jerry as President. But instead we were given Evil Morty - Why? I believe that what the show did was to not mock common politicians; but instead decided to mock the very notion of government itself - (bear with me on this one, it really does relate to "Evil Morty").
The Government, the Ricks and the Evil Morty:
I postulate that what we were meant to see was a similar perspective to what Rick see's, regarding governments and leadership. We get an insight into the hollow apathy and cynicism that Rick experiences when viewing how people are ruled and governed. We catch a glimpse of this in "Look Who's Purging Now" where he quickly surmises the whole 'purge' thing being just rich vs poor, and quickly dispatches both groups without choosing a side. I believe that what we are meant to see this season is that there is no better way; just one fucked up solution vs another fucked up solution. The most egregious episode about this was around 'Froopy land', where all of life is surmised as 'eat, fuck, kill', ad infinitum.
This may go to explain why Rick (the smartest being in the universe) is not in fact running the universe. Why is Rick living a life of non-existence compared to let say 'God-emperor' of all creation? Heck, even the council of Ricks are more interested in governing themselves and controlling the supply of things as stupid as "Freedom Wafers" (a reference to any potential resource). The secret council is composed of Ricks representing all varying nationalities; playing on the idea illuminati and freemasons. Even Ricks living inconsequential, meaningless office jobs suffer the same problem, as why the hell are they wasting their time doing such shit? The answer is that all Ricks no longer see the point - in infinite universes, where anything is possible, yet nothing matters, the only thing of consequence is themselves. This nihilistic narcissism is what prevents Ricks from seeing beyond themselves and acting to change things or become better people. In fact, this same mentality is passed onto their respective Morty's as well. However, this appears to be changing with the presence of "Evil Morty".
In the "The Ricklantis Mixup", the presidential race has two sub-plots; 1) the Stand by me gang, and 2) the Training day cops. What all 3 plots have in common, is the idea of change disrupting the status quo. The corrupt Morty cop is replaced by an honest Rick cop, the Morty's finally get a chance to be more than pawns for Ricks, and finally the shadowy council of Ricks are killed off and replaced by a Morty who has an external goal beyond just controlling Ricks. He used the desperation, insecurity and idiocies of the Morty's, combined with an understanding of the narcissism, self-loathing and nihilism of the Ricks to achieve power. Evil Morty is different from all of the other types of leaders and groups because unlike them he both: A) has a goal he wants to achieve, and B) he knows how to achieve it.
What an Evil Morty wants
It is therefore an issue of identifying the goal of Evil Morty. I believe that if we compare the goals of the other governments then it narrows down what the objective is: Galactic Government = total control; Wasteland Anarchists = Revenge; Vindicators = defeat evil; council of ricks = maintain power; cult of Tommy = self-preservation; US presidency = maintain self-importance. All are analysed and outright mocked in their respective episodes, so I doubt that any are the desired outcome of Evil Morty.
Previous theories suggest that he is C137 Ricks original Morty out for Revenge. However, rather than revenge, I believe what Morty wants requires all the brain power of all Ricks at the Citadel (hence his take-over). Not only of Ricks, but also of Morty's (hence the 'freeing' of the Morty's). It also involves what he was doing in "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind"; creating a large imbalance in the number of Mortys on the Citadel, by killing large numbers of Ricks. He also set-up C137 as the culprit; when caught he didn't kill him outright, but instead appeared to be stalling for time until defeated. I believe this was to create a rift between C137 and the citadel - hence why C137 had no issue with destroying the citadel and killing the council of Ricks. In this light, Evil Morty's aim was always to become elected President; meaning his aim was always to gain control over both Ricks and Mortys in all dimensions.
To identify what he intends to do with this power requires identifying two important things in the episode; 1) Ricks mention of bad things happening if a Morty becomes too cocky, and 2) Doofus Rick.
A Game of Mortys
I believe that reason for Ricks hating morty's is because of a deep-rooted fear and envy of them. I believe that without the repeated insecurities, suppression and humiliation, Morty's have the potential to outwit, out-smart, and even surpass Ricks (as seen in "Morty's Mind Blowers", where Mortys increasing confidence is at times overcoming Ricks intellect - requiring Rick to remove his memories).
In addition to this is the presence of Doofus Rick; an idiot Rick who was with Jerry most of the episode and was also present at Evil Mortys hideout at the very end. I suppose that 'Doofus Rick' is actually just a persona used to disguise his true intentions. Just as Doofus Rick never had a Morty, I suppose that Evil Morty never had a Rick. Both are at other ends of the spectrum; Doofus Rick lacks hatred of Mortys, and Evil Morty lacks the insecurities that hold him back. Both are working together to achieve a certain goal that requires the Ricks and Morty's of all dimensions.
And that goal is… Szechuan sauce
Jerry always gets the short-end of the stick when it comes to public opinion, but I've always had a soft-spot for this "everyman" character.
It's easy to miss what makes Jerry special, but here's how we know that our Jerry matters:
In Mortynight Run, our Jerry is the only one to "rise above" and take leave from the Jerry daycare on his own accord. If that still hasn't impressed you, then the anxiety of the last second Jerry-swap (caused by the missing ticket), should; we hope that our Jerry wasn't swapped-out by mistake, because we've just seen evidence that our Jerry is surely "the Jerry-est Jerry."
Apologies if this has already been appreciated.
Here is the link in question. In my mind there is no question, the similarities are too striking to ignore. The short is infamous for it's abrasive MS Paint style animation, and dark, nihilistic tone.
The stilted line delivery is almost identical as well, as are the incidents of violence and aggression.
This show just came on adult swim when Rick and morty was supposed to come on called bushworld adventures. What is this ? Are there more episodes?
Specifically I'm referring to this
Basically every post on /r/rickandmorty is all about how R&M is a total rip-off of Jimmy Neutron. Any thoughts?
So let's think about it. If there are infinite dimensions, then how do Ricks name them?
The dimension naming system seems to have the format A000, and with 26 letters being in the alphabet, we have 26,000 total dimensions in the Central Finite Curve.
So let's say the Central Finite Curve is the amount of dimensions that are close enough to each other to be relevant to each other, and Rick's across the infinite Universes groupify themselves into these Central Finite Curves (Central, because in infinity, each group of dimensions is the central one from their perspective) for practicality.
Let's try to imagine the 3D Universes being stacked together next to each other in a 4D Universe, like 2D pages are stacked into a 3D book. Now let's say that book is infinite, and a Central Finite Curve is just a 26,000 page-chapter in it. And let's say that the pages aren't sorted out by how similar they are - each one is completely random and different than its neighbouring ones.
So translated to 3D, this means that two neighbouring Universes are completely different from one another, meaning it's extremely difficult to find a single Universe that's identical to yours.
But to Rick, this shouldn't be much of a problem. In Rick Potion #9, we saw him whip out some backpack device that lets him find an identical Universe. It looks like some sort of computer - and it's Rick's computer, probably leagues more powerful than anything on Earth. He runs it for a few seconds and finds an identical Universe, so it's reasonable to believe that the computer peruses the infinite Universes like flipping pages at unfathomable speeds, and then it finally finds one. A 1 in a 10100 chance for all of the atoms in that Universe to be configured in spacetime exactly the same, or probably around that ballpark.
Now, Rick is an interdimensional man. What good is switching Universes if only his is the identical one? It would be inconvenient to him. We've seen that he depends on certain dimensions and almost has an encyclopedic knowledge about them. If Rick only looked for an identical Universe and not an identical Central Finite Curve, from his point of view he'd have to learn where's what and get used to it all over again. He'd have to scout for mega seeds again, he'd have to learn about all the new Ricks and figure out their weaknesses and whatnot. So he needs to find another C-137 with all the 26,000 dimensions close enough to it being identical.
So finding an identical Universe isn't enough, he needs to find an identical Central Finite Curve, a series of 26,000 Universes that are exactly identical to the last 26,000 that he "inhabited". AND he needs to find a C137 where the Rick conveniently dies JUST at the same time he needs to move.
Finding one Universe isn't enough and it's tough as it is, but he needs to find 26,000 consecutive identical ones, in the same order.
Maybe even Rick's computers have their limitations. Maybe it takes a lifetime, even for Rick, to find 3-4 of these Universes. Or rather a few billion of them, and then his mini computer scouts which one of those has a Rick that just died.
So, he was C137 before, he was C137 after season 2 and he's C137 after season 3. It's just different C137s across the infinite Multiverse.
Hi guys,
Justin Roiland participated in the production of accounting accounting is a very funny vr presentation, if you are a rick and morty fan then you probaly gonna dig this humor. My fav part is with the two talking skulls

Big fan & I'm not that smart, but I know a fantastic fun ride when I see one. Come on r/137 let's let AS know we want season 4. 😉
I’ll admit off hand that this is partially inspired by trying to think of how we could tell who E. Morty’s Rick was, and considering that E. Morty doesn’t really seem that atypical of a Morty.
Things we need to keep in mind:
A) Morties are actually pretty damned smart
Morty’s brainwaves are identical to Rick’s for the cancelation effect to work as described. They’re just off set by 50% in thier timing. This implies they could be just as intelligent as Rick. Only that Ricks think on the 1st and 3rd beats while Morties fire off on the 2nd and 4th beats.
We’ve seen multiple Morties fool Ricks in “Tales from the Citadel”, not just E. Morty.
We’ve seen what our Morty is capable of as well. He knows Rick’s tech well enough to dismantle Rick’s bombs. He figured out that body morphing machine. Let us not forget what he pulled off in Little American Psycho mode.
Morty “stupidness” may very well be, once you remove the Rick influence, not stupidness but a smart boy being just that. An immature and youthful boy with a lot of potential.
B) Morties are pretty damned devious
Look at Morty town. Morty gangs and mafia. Cop Morty has tricked at least two and nearly killed at least two Ricks.
Our Morty allegedly tricked Rick into taking Jerry to that themepark. Our Morty set things up to look like Rick out smarted him in LAP mode, but it’s clear Morty had decided to go back to his toxic lifestyle for Rick’s sake. He just let Rick think Rick outsmarted him for Rick’s ego.
We also now know to a degree this is heriditary thanks to Beth.
Look at what Morty did to that guy Summer had a crush on because said guy both hurt his Sister and ruined Morty’s Rick-less’cation.
More than one person has speculated that Rick may have brought the gun because of Morty rather than Jerry for good reasons.
C) Ricks intentionally seem to keep Morties down
Rick keeping Morty on too many adventures to get even a basic education.
On the Citadel the Rickless Morties are only educated on how to serve Ricks.
Ricks seem to near constantly berate and redicule their Morties to the point that Ricks almost seem to be the source of the Morties inferiority complexes.
Look how confident Rickless Morties get in general and what they can pull off once removed from the toxic influence of Rick.
—————————-
I’m not going to say this will help theoryists with figuring out E. Morty’s angle. I just think we may have been looking at the field the wrong way. That E. Morty isn’t the Rickest Morty as he’s sometimes called, but that the purist Morty, the Mortiest Morty when removed from a Rick’s influence, is far closer to what E. Morty is that what we’ve come to think the Mortiest Morty should be.
So if there can be a 'tall Morty' who is basically just a Rick with the intelligence of a Morty. Maybe the opposite can work as well, a 'Morty' with the intelligence of a Rick. The "Short Rick" theory could explain why he acts differently that the other Mortys and why he seems heartless, but it doesn't explain the beef he has with c-137 Rick.
Rick doesn't do the feelings thing real well, as we've seen throughout the show and we know that character trait pretty well by now as Canon....There have only been a few times on the show where he's shown straightforward, no-holds-barred affection or faced his emotions head on without turning to alcohol or some witty sidetracked remark....(Close Encounters of the Rick Kind when watching his life on screen, and it gets to Morty, comes to mind....) I am wondering what kind of situation do you think would cause Rick to fully break down? Like actually show full, unrestricted, pure and deep emotion in front of others? Maybe he wouldn't have to be sober in order to do so because that's a rarity as well....Do you think the writers will ever go there? Or do you think they will just keep Rick as emotionally repressed (too harsh or overdrawn a word to use as a critique?) as ever?
