I remember first watching the show. When they buried themselves and just acted like it was them in that universe all along. My mouth was wide open. You tend forget that detail once you get further into the seasons. I love this show!!!
the genius of it was they didn't do it in a season finale - or even premiere; a premiere would have established "alright this is a dimension hopping show" -- to RANDOMLY do it nine episodes into the season?!
I was shocked when Morty brought it up again in the Interdimensional Cable episode and told Summer about it. I think it was the first time I’d ever seen an episodic cartoon that has continuity.
And the sad/ironic part is that even though Rick Prime himself admitted how badass it was, he'd never truly understand just how cool it was since he's never met any other Jerry's to know how far this one had come
@@sydbrown310 What are you talking about? Rick prime litteraly says to Jerry, "Wow you've really arc'd out!" Meaning his character arc is crazy far away from normal Jerry.
That Rick died before our Rick came through the portal. Our Rick knew from scouting out the reality that the problem was fixed but how was probably not included and only the dead Rick would have known the cure
This proves that jerry is the way he is because his life is already content. If pushed hard enough he actually thrives, he's just clearly no match for rick. I mean nobody is, jerry is basically just an average guy.
Would be interesting to come across a genius Jerry outside the curve. That the majority of Jerries within the multiverse are actually geniuses except for the ones within the curve.
I respect Jerry choosing to remain in his messed up world. It might not be idyllic, but he can't just replace his Beth, his Summer, and his planet with fresh ones. He would rather embrace his world, losses and all, and let go of wanting things the way they were before. That's admirable. Meanwhile, Rick and Morty are fine with replacing everyone in their lives with copies, as long as they don't have to stay around the consequences of their decisions. And what has that gotten them? They still have a bunch of danger and discomfort to deal with on the daily, but they lose their feelings and their senses of fulfillment.

I think Rick cronenberged it on purpose out of spite for Rick Prime. He just didn't admit it. Rick C131 finding a cure was probably the creators of the show, showing that Rick could make a cure if he really wanted to. But in reality he didn't care for that, as Rick prime was all that mattered to rick C137. I could be completely wrong but it's feasable considering Rick C137's hatred of Prime. Rick primes words when C137 ended him, "admit it, you would've been me, I just walked into your garage before you walked into mine" might be a hint that our Rick, C137, is actually just as bad of a person as prime is. I also believe evil morty could be a key, alongside morty C137, to ending the 'Rick experiment', which could happen due to Morty finding out the truth about Rick C137. Anyway, season 8 should be a blast.
Just imagine it, the Louds have to experience this too in the Loud housex Rick and morty what if scenarios: If they were his family instead of the Smiths. Those from a children cartoon have to witness their family, friends and the rest of the world die and then travel to a dimension where they've died. That's insane and morbidly sick. It's one of the reasons why I wouldn't rather read it because I'm afraid to see their horrified, heartbroken and tearfully reaction about it, especially because some of them are only little children.
Rick and Morty makes more sense when you go back to watch the old seasons. This episode explains what happened when the aliens invaded the earth and bugs got Rick hooked on a machine
Is nobody gonna talk about how all of this is actually Morty's fault? He is the actual reason Prime universe became Cronenberged. He came back yo the universe he abandoned with Rick, just to prove a point to Summer, leading to destroing portal gun and bringing Council of Rick's attention, leading to freezing Beth and Summer and they eventuall death. Also, while having dinner with them, he talked like they were some kind of animals, not humans. And when he came back one last time, he acted like nothing ever happend. Sure, Rick destroyed that universe, but only because he tried to fixed Morty's doing. Morty is fully to blame here
I mean honestly? They deserved it. Jerry and Beth treated Morty as the "lesser" than child and outright admitted once or twice they loved Summer more. They had no right acting like they were entitled to Morty caring about them. I'd have left them frozen in ice too, especially if I knew that I could replace them.
@@ObiWanShinobi917 True, True Im not saying they are wonderfull parents, now, that would be a lie It still doesn't change the fact that Morty may be even worse He is not just exposed to his terrible parents parenting, but also his grandfather He not only can ruin entire civilization, dimension, or galaxy, but also will look for a blame in everybody alse first The only time his parents ruined something on that big scale was in galaxy SPA care
Every childhood friend, every distant relative, every early positive memory of Rick Prime was from that world. He deliberately did it, in fact, the only thing that survived from Earth Prime is Morty Prime. But Rick Prime is so narcissistic that he doesn't even care about his actual grand-son
@ problem BOT? Got nothing better to do besides a sad attempt to find someone weak and pick them apart on the internet? Glorious, sooo glad you F’d up and ran into me 👹
I'm reminded of a scene somewhere, where someone comments "Hey that insect won that fight fair and square, don't go trampling on his win" and just think after this episode that it would have been so poetic for jerry to win in one of the few worlds were main rick failed.
I wouldn't say he was winning even if he did survive his encounter with rick prime. As he said himself, he lost everything, his apathy towards everything is just his unhealthy coping mechanism, in a way this is the saddest jerry. Also cool though to see that Jerry pushed to his limits is a strong survivor which isn't what you would think from looking at him.
@@supraguy4694 when dissecting some of the Cronenburgs, the human Brain was perfectly still intact. Made you wonder if the Humans turned Cronenburg still had a conscience and memory of who they were. but could only be monsters.
I wonder what it's like. Are they in pain all the time because their body parts don't fit together anymore? What it would be like to see through more than two eyes and hear through more than two ears?
I have a theory on why Rick didn't save Mortys orginal family. Remember that that this is actually Rick Primes family. They're the Prime Smiths. So first of all our Rick may of had some resentment and suspicion of them because of that fact. However I do think he genuinely was trying to be the Rick they needed and was willing to fulfill that role. However, our Rick started to senses that the Prime Smiths had the potential to be just as evil as Rick Prime. After their world is destroyed and becomes the Cronenberged univers we see the Prime Smiths are actually happy to loose Morty. Showing us that they never cared about him. Compared that to when the new Summer finds out her Morty is dead. She actually looked horrified and heartbroken to loose her brother. Yet inspite that she dosen't hesitate to take in this new Morty as her own brother and be his sister. Rick earsed a lot of Morty memories of him being abused by his family, like when Beth didn't hesitate to sacerfice her son when given the choice. Yet Beth is also caring enough to comfort a heartbroken Morty when Planetina leaves him and was even concerned her son was getting into a toxic relationship. This is because they were two different Beths. The one who wanted to sacrifice him was Prime Beth while the one who actually cared for him was the new Beth. Its possible that most of those bad memories of Mortys family doing horrible things to him that Rick wipped out are actually the Prime Smiths showimg their true colors. Which is another reason why our Rick wanted to take him on adventures. We know he's not like the other Ricks who dont care for their Mortys and are just using them. Our Rick was originally trying to give our Morty a break from his abusive Prime family, which is also another reason why Summer wasn't originally being included. Even when Morty is reunited with the Prime Smiths they're not happy to see that he's alive. Most fans assume it was because he abandoned them but in reality they never cared about him to begin with. They always disliked him. Which shows in how they enforce they're abuse and control over him again once he comes back into their lives. Rick started to figure out that Prime Morty was the only one of the Prime Smiths that was worth saving. So he saw the destruction of his original world as a chance to give him a better version of his family. (And he swiped Jerry around a coupled more times because Rick is picky about his Jerrys.) The New Smith Family can all be selfish and dysfunctional people who have their own low moments, but our Rick pick them because they were the closest to being like Prime Mortys orginal family so it wouldn't be as big of a shock for him. Which would make a lot easier for Morty adjusts to his new reality . The big difference is that the New Smiths don't carry the same evil as Rick Prime and even though they'll get into fights they do deep down inside still care about Morty even if they struggle to show it.
I always thought it was out of character and pretty weird that Rick would accidentally create a planet of monsters. That he could mess up the science that badly. Seems intentional to me. Like he had an unspoken reason for wanting to switch from that reality and manipulated Marty to go along cause he is, in fact, attached to his Morty.
It likely was intentional because of Rick Prime. As others have mentioned, Rick could've just gotten the cure from the new universe's Rick he went to. It's been established multiple times he can even resurrect the dead or see past events in a room, so there's no excuse why he didn't just get a cure from another Rick and bring it back to their world.
Rick does neither need nor want to cure the cronenberged world. He may even have intentionally cronenberged the world because it is prime Ricks world. Prime Rick is the Rick that killed C137s family. C137 may have hoped that Prime would come back to his world to cure it but Prime didn't care. The machine that sends everyone back to their original world may even have been a fraud too, to know prime Ricks location. That's also why this specific Morty is so important to Rick C137. It is prime Ricks Morty. Morty's held hostage by C137 and Morty doesn't know about it. Only problem is, Rick C137 slowly developed feelings for the Morty he originally intended to only use as a hostage to lure prime Rick in because C137 never had a Morty BUT this still doesn't change the fact that their friendship started because Rick wanted to use Morty and Morty is probably going to find out about this in a future episode, probably when C137 and prime have some kind of showdown. (May be unnecessary but I felt like a lot of people in the comments wheren't getting this)
This makes so much sense it almost feels like a spoiler. I always wondered why the smartest man in the universe failed so terribly to cure a simple serum.
Our Rick is far too smart to think Rick Prime would have came back to cure a version of Earth that he literally could not care less about. It's way more likely that Our Rick messed it up on purpose just to teach Morty a lesson early on in their relationship.
@@BigM_TV I don't think so. Didn't he outright said that he chose to be with Morty Prime because he thought Rick Prime would come back because he cared? That belief could expand to the entire planet. Rick only realized he didn't cared at all on later seasons
dudeeee when I saw the rick’s looking confused whenever morty claimed to be Morty C137 for the first time was when I had the realization that Rick C137 didn’t have a Morty for himself
The reason for why he didn't just cure it was probably because he did infact use the same cure as that of the new dimension however the rick of the new dimension got lucky and it worked while our rick didn't get Lucky and so it had side effects. That's how I understood why he didn't just cure this world.
Morty: ...The one who wont let you down is buried in your back yard! Summer: You're right! Morty: What? No, I'm not right! I-I was using ghoulish overkill! Ghoulish overkill, Summer!
Did you all know it's actually 7 years since the Cronenberg episode?! I just found out, when I searched for the Mazzy Star - Look On Down From The Bridge song that plays while they bury the bodies of alternative Rick and alternative Morty.
"We get 3-4 of these tops!" So by that statement the show can only do this once more (if at all) as of Season 7. 1st: This episode 2nd: The squirrels 3rd: Mr Frundles
Yeah, that also gives more context on why Rick didn't try that hard to save the universe. Because that's the universe of Prime Rick. His daughter and his wife killer.
I believe, they didn't thought about Rick Prime's original universe when they created the initial Cronenberged episode. They swaped universe without any problem.
Morty really is the worst. He didn't even check to see if his family is ok. Rick I can understand cause he's been through this many times but Morty was new to this
I've just realized, this entire time Morty Prime has been passing himself off as Morty C-137 to all the other Ricks and never got called out for it. There is no Morty C-137.
0:55 Rick gloating and talking down on Morty just for Morty to be right and call Rick an idiot is the perfect example of Morty being smarter than his grandpa.
Not sure why I was so slow, but I've had two realizations that just hit me: 1)the show lost not just the voice of Rick - but also Morty (think I probably overlooked the Morty part previously - I mean I might've - or I'm underestimating myself...I don't remember my initial reaction anymore) 2) it doesn't seem to make sense that the dead Rick has a working portal gun (although I could come up with an asspull explanation).
@@potsdam28 that's the thing I don't get. I would've thought it might've been destroyed in the explosion... or at least not be working after killing that Rick and Morty. Perhaps Rick planted a fake portal gun and dropped the real one in the grave - but it seems a little questionable. And Morty didn't know Rick blew them up to take over their lives - which makes it more doubtful to place a working portal gun in his grave in front of Morty.
A cool math concept- Having infinite universes doesn't mean every reality exists. Why? Because infinity is not the same as 'everything'. For example: there is an infinite number of real numbers, but no number X that satusfies this equation: X = X+ 1 Aka, there are infinite universes, but it doesn't necessarily mean that there is one where Rick managed to make everything normal.
ive always wondered why can rick can only do this 3 or 4 more times he constantly says there are infinite universes which would mean he could do this anytime he wanted so what would stop him after the 3 or 4 more times?
The point of Rick saying that was so the writers could communicate to the audience that there is always the outside possibility of using a MacGuffin-esque solution such as slipping into an alternate dimension to return things to the status quo (as we the audience understand it to be).
@ChaseVaccaro-ge3gk it's still infinite it's just to separate the infinite universes from the infinite universes where rick is the most intelligent being
This certainly was one of the darkest episodes in Season 1.

But in reality he didn't care for that, as Rick prime was all that mattered to rick C137. I could be completely wrong but it's feasable considering Rick C137's hatred of Prime. Rick primes words when C137 ended him, "admit it, you would've been me, I just walked into your garage before you walked into mine" might be a hint that our Rick, C137, is actually just as bad of a person as prime is. I also believe evil morty could be a key, alongside morty C137, to ending the 'Rick experiment', which could happen due to Morty finding out the truth about Rick C137. Anyway, season 8 should be a blast.
I kinda hate that no one from Morty's original family survives.
Just imagine it, the Louds have to experience this too in the Loud housex Rick and morty what if scenarios: If they were his family instead of the Smiths. Those from a children cartoon have to witness their family, friends and the rest of the world die and then travel to a dimension where they've died. That's insane and morbidly sick. It's one of the reasons why I wouldn't rather read it because I'm afraid to see their horrified, heartbroken and tearfully reaction about it, especially because some of them are only little children.

Except Rick Prime. Oh wait, right, he died too from Rick.

I love how Cronenberg just became a verb.
Adjective too
Rick and Morty makes more sense when you go back to watch the old seasons. This episode explains what happened when the aliens invaded the earth and bugs got Rick hooked on a machine
I think Rick lowkey did this on purpose after being so pissed off he wasn't able to find Prime Rick for so long.
Ironically poor Jerry was the last one to die.
Rick prime and Morty prime are still alive, although season 7 is probably going to end up with Rick dying

Is nobody gonna talk about how all of this is actually Morty's fault? He is the actual reason Prime universe became Cronenberged. He came back yo the universe he abandoned with Rick, just to prove a point to Summer, leading to destroing portal gun and bringing Council of Rick's attention, leading to freezing Beth and Summer and they eventuall death. Also, while having dinner with them, he talked like they were some kind of animals, not humans. And when he came back one last time, he acted like nothing ever happend. Sure, Rick destroyed that universe, but only because he tried to fixed Morty's doing.
Morty is fully to blame here
I mean honestly? They deserved it. Jerry and Beth treated Morty as the "lesser" than child and outright admitted once or twice they loved Summer more.
They had no right acting like they were entitled to Morty caring about them. I'd have left them frozen in ice too, especially if I knew that I could replace them.
@@ObiWanShinobi917 True, True
Im not saying they are wonderfull parents, now, that would be a lie
It still doesn't change the fact that Morty may be even worse
He is not just exposed to his terrible parents parenting, but also his grandfather
He not only can ruin entire civilization, dimension, or galaxy, but also will look for a blame in everybody alse first
The only time his parents ruined something on that big scale was in galaxy SPA care
He literally wanted to daterape a girl who didn't even like him and then still tried to deflect the blame onto Rick
After hearing this song when morty is watching his family ablivious to what is happening and i was like...wow thats really good. Made me a fan.
Retroactively this means that Rick just abandoned Rick Prime's universe without hesitation.
Every childhood friend, every distant relative, every early positive memory of Rick Prime was from that world. He deliberately did it, in fact, the only thing that survived from Earth Prime is Morty Prime. But Rick Prime is so narcissistic that he doesn't even care about his actual grand-son
The darkness presented in the burial scene is infinite man. This show is top tier period.
top tier period???
@ problem BOT? Got nothing better to do besides a sad attempt to find someone weak and pick them apart
on the internet? Glorious, sooo glad you F’d up and ran into me 👹
its a bit disconcerting that there are an infinite number of universes, but a finite number of universes where everything turned out alright.
There is an infinite number of numbers between zero and one, but none of them are two.
Being able to bury yourself 6 feet below. Morty had some real trauma there.
I'm reminded of a scene somewhere, where someone comments "Hey that insect won that fight fair and square, don't go trampling on his win" and just think after this episode that it would have been so poetic for jerry to win in one of the few worlds were main rick failed.
I wouldn't say he was winning even if he did survive his encounter with rick prime. As he said himself, he lost everything, his apathy towards everything is just his unhealthy coping mechanism, in a way this is the saddest jerry. Also cool though to see that Jerry pushed to his limits is a strong survivor which isn't what you would think from looking at him.
The ragdoll animation when they die gets me every time lmao
I just realized when Morty said he was "Morty C-137" the other Ricks looked confused cause they knew what was up
One of the most iconic moments of Rick and Morty
Makes me wonder what it's like living as a cronenburg or how bad they were tormented in there heads.
Well, judging from cronenburg rick and morty, its proabably not too bad. Well for the ones that kept their human brain for the most part
In where heads?
@@supraguy4694 when dissecting some of the Cronenburgs, the human Brain was perfectly still intact. Made you wonder if the Humans turned Cronenburg still had a conscience and memory of who they were. but could only be monsters.
I wonder what it's like. Are they in pain all the time because their body parts don't fit together anymore?
What it would be like to see through more than two eyes and hear through more than two ears?
I have a theory on why Rick didn't save Mortys orginal family.
Remember that that this is actually Rick Primes family. They're the Prime Smiths. So first of all our Rick may of had some resentment and suspicion of them because of that fact. However I do think he genuinely was trying to be the Rick they needed and was willing to fulfill that role. However, our Rick started to senses that the Prime Smiths had the potential to be just as evil as Rick Prime. After their world is destroyed and becomes the Cronenberged univers we see the Prime Smiths are actually happy to loose Morty. Showing us that they never cared about him. Compared that to when the new Summer finds out her Morty is dead. She actually looked horrified and heartbroken to loose her brother. Yet inspite that she dosen't hesitate to take in this new Morty as her own brother and be his sister.
Rick earsed a lot of Morty memories of him being abused by his family, like when Beth didn't hesitate to sacerfice her son when given the choice. Yet Beth is also caring enough to comfort a heartbroken Morty when Planetina leaves him and was even concerned her son was getting into a toxic relationship. This is because they were two different Beths. The one who wanted to sacrifice him was Prime Beth while the one who actually cared for him was the new Beth. Its possible that most of those bad memories of Mortys family doing horrible things to him that Rick wipped out are actually the Prime Smiths showimg their true colors. Which is another reason why our Rick wanted to take him on adventures. We know he's not like the other Ricks who dont care for their Mortys and are just using them. Our Rick was originally trying to give our Morty a break from his abusive Prime family, which is also another reason why Summer wasn't originally being included.
Even when Morty is reunited with the Prime Smiths they're not happy to see that he's alive. Most fans assume it was because he abandoned them but in reality they never cared about him to begin with. They always disliked him. Which shows in how they enforce they're abuse and control over him again once he comes back into their lives.
Rick started to figure out that Prime Morty was the only one of the Prime Smiths that was worth saving. So he saw the destruction of his original world as a chance to give him a better version of his family. (And he swiped Jerry around a coupled more times because Rick is picky about his Jerrys.) The New Smith Family can all be selfish and dysfunctional people who have their own low moments, but our Rick pick them because they were the closest to being like Prime Mortys orginal family so it wouldn't be as big of a shock for him. Which would make a lot easier for Morty adjusts to his new reality . The big difference is that the New Smiths don't carry the same evil as Rick Prime and even though they'll get into fights they do deep down inside still care about Morty even if they struggle to show it.
This was a great theory dude, best comment on this vid.Thanks !
Whoooaaaa 😮 Dude, this is good stuff. Thanks for writing it out)
I always thought it was out of character and pretty weird that Rick would accidentally create a planet of monsters. That he could mess up the science that badly. Seems intentional to me. Like he had an unspoken reason for wanting to switch from that reality and manipulated Marty to go along cause he is, in fact, attached to his Morty.
It likely was intentional because of Rick Prime. As others have mentioned, Rick could've just gotten the cure from the new universe's Rick he went to. It's been established multiple times he can even resurrect the dead or see past events in a room, so there's no excuse why he didn't just get a cure from another Rick and bring it back to their world.
I gotta say, I hope cronenberg rick and morty are doing alright for themselves
I've always wondered if the jerry of the chronenberged world ever found and killed the chronenberged Rick and Morty that came in.
2:40 I’d love to see this scene from the perspective of the neighbors or the paper boy or the mailman.
The part where morty get home to meet no one is so cold... Makes me appreciate my family ❤. Thank you for this. ❤❤❤❤ I'm so blessed .
Rick does neither need nor want
to cure the cronenberged world.
He may even have intentionally
cronenberged the world because
it is prime Ricks world. Prime Rick
is the Rick that killed C137s family.
C137 may have hoped that Prime
would come back to his world
to cure it but Prime didn't care.
The machine that sends everyone
back to their original world
may even have been a fraud too,
to know prime Ricks location.
That's also why this specific Morty
is so important to Rick C137.
It is prime Ricks Morty.
Morty's held hostage by C137
and Morty doesn't know about it.
Only problem is, Rick C137 slowly
developed feelings for the Morty
he originally intended to only use
as a hostage to lure prime Rick in
because C137 never had a Morty
BUT
this still doesn't change the fact
that their friendship started
because Rick wanted to use Morty
and Morty is probably going to find
out about this in a future episode,
probably when C137 and prime
have some kind of showdown.
(May be unnecessary
but I felt like a lot of people
in the comments
wheren't getting this)
This makes so much sense it almost feels like a spoiler. I always wondered why the smartest man in the universe failed so terribly to cure a simple serum.
Our Rick is far too smart to think Rick Prime would have came back to cure a version of Earth that he literally could not care less about.
It's way more likely that Our Rick messed it up on purpose just to teach Morty a lesson early on in their relationship.
@@BigM_TV I don't think so. Didn't he outright said that he chose to be with Morty Prime because he thought Rick Prime would come back because he cared? That belief could expand to the entire planet. Rick only realized he didn't cared at all on later seasons
dudeeee when I saw the rick’s looking confused whenever morty claimed to be Morty C137 for the first time was when I had the realization that Rick C137 didn’t have a Morty for himself
Well so far only two Ricks who are above others 1st the Prime Rick because he abandoned his and Rick c137 because he doesn't have his own.
It's kind of weird that they were able to bury their dead selves in broad daylight without being seen by anybody
Didn't realize Jerry could grow such an amazing beard
The reason for why he didn't just cure it was probably because he did infact use the same cure as that of the new dimension however the rick of the new dimension got lucky and it worked while our rick didn't get Lucky and so it had side effects. That's how I understood why he didn't just cure this world.
Rick never solved his problems, he just moves to another place to avoid the problem
I love how the answer in 12:20 totally relates to the issue in 7:32
I like how Jerry's reaction too not being in his original universe
He seems too not even be worried, more confused than anything
Sometimes science is more art than science lol
RIP Cronenberg Jerry, he was far too boss for any reality.
Yeah his was great!

2nd: The squirrels
3rd: Mr Frundles
The most important thing, we learn when everyone gets sent back to their own universe in season 6
Our morty’s original Rick is evil Rick.
Yeah, that also gives more context on why Rick didn't try that hard to save the universe.
Because that's the universe of Prime Rick. His daughter and his wife killer.
Yes, Morty is from C-137, the Cronenberged universe, but what universe is "our" Rick from?
"Fatality: JERRY WINS" best quote ever
I was thinking this was all part of rick's plan to force morty to get into another reality because that was prime rick's universe.
5:14
They could have asked those 2 a cure and in return they would have cronenberged their world again lmao
I believe, they didn't thought about Rick Prime's original universe when they created the initial Cronenberged episode. They swaped universe without any problem.
Morty really is the worst. He didn't even check to see if his family is ok. Rick I can understand cause he's been through this many times but Morty was new to this
He got that prime Rick DNA in him
"It improved you" That's the same logic Rick used on Rick about killing his wife
best vengence ever. rick screwed up prime rick earth
The number of times he used to say morty in old seasons😂😂😂
Sometimes I wish the planet gets cronenberged
Having to bury yourself would be a traumatizing thing to live with, no matter your age
Morty accepted his fate
I've just realized, this entire time Morty Prime has been passing himself off as Morty C-137 to all the other Ricks and never got called out for it. There is no Morty C-137.
10:40 that hurt very much
2:35 i just love how Morty leans in with a smile 🤣🤣🤣
I was glad they put in some Mazzy Star in an episode. I've been listening to them since I was a kid in the 90s
0:55 Rick gloating and talking down on Morty just for Morty to be right and call Rick an idiot is the perfect example of Morty being smarter than his grandpa.
"A simple fun Rick and Morty adventure"
And their neighbors never noticed any of the blood or boom noises
I've watched these episodes sooo many times dude
Not even Cronenberg can Cronenberg the way Cronenberg Cronenbergs.
Not sure why I was so slow, but I've had two realizations that just hit me:
1)the show lost not just the voice of Rick - but also Morty (think I probably overlooked the Morty part previously - I mean I might've - or I'm underestimating myself...I don't remember my initial reaction anymore)
2) it doesn't seem to make sense that the dead Rick has a working portal gun (although I could come up with an asspull explanation).
It didn’t get damaged in the explosion?
@@potsdam28 that's the thing I don't get. I would've thought it might've been destroyed in the explosion... or at least not be working after killing that Rick and Morty.
Perhaps Rick planted a fake portal gun and dropped the real one in the grave - but it seems a little questionable. And Morty didn't know Rick blew them up to take over their lives - which makes it more doubtful to place a working portal gun in his grave in front of Morty.
This why people love this show. You laugh, you cry, you think. What are memories. Beth what is real?
The best episode of Rick and morty 💚
"Put this on while i do a little scouting" that backpack was his morty shield
what's crazy that if Morty showed Rick back to Jerry, they would've actually come across Rick Prime
Yo morty delivered the cleanest shot with that javelin
This are my favorite cartoons i wish they will never end❤😭
since season 3 it went downhill , with having all episodes good to having only few good ones in a season
@@dragonmerchantYeah. Seasons 1, 2, and 6 are good however
A cool math concept-
Having infinite universes doesn't mean every reality exists. Why? Because infinity is not the same as 'everything'.
For example: there is an infinite number of real numbers, but no number X that satusfies this equation: X = X+ 1
Aka, there are infinite universes, but it doesn't necessarily mean that there is one where Rick managed to make everything normal.
Wait, can't they just go to the Cronenberged world where Cronenberge Rick and Morty accidentally turned everyone into "normal" human?
Well, the serum did not function on family. So they would still be Cronenbergs
@@derpyno-scope2590yeah and those ones went to the messed up world
@timchanux
But hat world is considered to be an apocalyptic wasteland, by Cronenberges perspective, so it still wouldn't be "normal."
here is a great merchandising opportunity missed: Rick and Morty Cronenberg Plush Toys - now with more pus!
1:14 that’s messed up😕
Morty: "That [game] we never finished"
The box: "2-3 minutes of endless fun!" 9:36
ive always wondered why can rick can only do this 3 or 4 more times he constantly says there are infinite universes which would mean he could do this anytime he wanted so what would stop him after the 3 or 4 more times?
The point of Rick saying that was so the writers could communicate to the audience that there is always the outside possibility of using a MacGuffin-esque solution such as slipping into an alternate dimension to return things to the status quo (as we the audience understand it to be).
Imagino que es algo parecido a marvel en donde si haces eso muchas veces puedes causar una incursión o algo parecido
The Central Finite Curve, mayhaps?
@ChaseVaccaro-ge3gk it's still infinite it's just to separate the infinite universes from the infinite universes where rick is the most intelligent being
