When I first saw the episode I thought they would be in the vat the entire time and the vat would be moved around to different places and we would see and hear different things going on
@@ivansincic7304 Idk. I'm depressed and coming from a bad break up so this one hit pretty hard. The way Morty felt after he royally fucked up his second first impression is just... Fuck. I can't even imagine. I don't wanna imagine. I like imagining my failed relationship not going to shit so I don't even think about how it could have gone even worse. And Morty royally fucked up his second first impression, and there's no taking that back. I hope they don't just take it all back, but I'm sure they might. Nobody stays the same after surviving something like what he went through, and I doubt anybody's gonna be the same after having the love of their life not only not remember who they are but think they're some crazy stalker who they'd wanna stay the fuck away from.
The montage of Morty having a girlfriend was extra animation to fill in 5 mins because the episode was written too short. The animator came in and added the "Alive" reference which made the saddest heart break story of Morty's love life EVER! Worst than the first 10 mins of "Up." I really felt so bad for Morty after Jerry screwed him. Best episode so far this season.
I hope she comes back like 3 seasons later where she is pregnant and Morty flips out when he finds out he is the father because that is only reason Rick would bring her into their reality🙏
@@heyhi5503 that doesn't mean he hasn't had sex, I would bet on it Edit: actually, he did have sex, when he fucked that sex bot and had a child. So yeah, Morty is not a virgin.
Laura Catana i never said he was a virgin but i’d say 14 is pretty early to be a parent and also the thing with the sex robots doesn’t really count to me his child grew up so fast and they didn’t even know that the robot was able to make a child
Gets to show one of the many different between Rick and Morty: Rick is willing to kill anyone without any guilt but is still aware of the consequences Morty doesn't and yet tries to follow his moral compass which most of the times gives Rick chances to prove him wrong or to show Morty the results of his actions
I do feel like this season was a result of them knowing they had 70+ episodes and knowing that the wait for season 5 would be shorter so this season was them just getting stories they wanted to do out of the way so they could do something greater later on
I really like the part when Morty has given a choice if he would rather risk his life to call for help or rather he would restart the whole situation all over again. He choose to try dying because he knows that even if he did die, he died knowing that he have found someone to love that also loved him back without the help of Rick or Rick's gadget. Instead of just restarting their relationship from the very beginning and facing a person who he fell in love with but didn't even know who he is.
" rather risk his life" -- he was risking her life too -- he had to hope that help found them before they all died of cold and starvation -- but what if he was wrong -- then she and everyone else would have died because he was too selfish if he truly cared for her he would have reset everything -- it would mean losing the relationship but positively saving her life
@@firstname4337 That's true, you have a valid point. But Morty may have the right to become a little bit selfish at that moment since he is already at the brink of death. He travelled alone to a place where he is not even sure if it's there, gambling his life in the process just to search for something that may or may not be there that could save their life.
I get the feeling it will be worse on repeat viewings. Imagine being aware that a Morty is getting killed every time he hops the manhole or he saves his spot IN A VIDEO GAME! Oh, geeze!
Technically Rick and morty aren’t in the same reality they entered in Rick potion #9 because in morty’s mind blowers Rick says they have to move to another reality after morty angers the squirrels and seeing how many times morty’s mind has been erased and all the adventures we haven’t seen they could have moved realities multiple times and have buried multiple ricks and morty’s which could explain morty becoming more outspoken and confident he’s becoming more like Rick
An interesting thought though, at the end credit's scene in the last ep (with Summer's friend wanting to fuck Jerry), you can see the grave's of the dead R&M that the C-137 duo replaced mostly grown over
Nightmare Hotel u right but u could also say they just decided to bury their bodies in the same place they buried the other ones but u bring up a good point I still believe that Rick and morty may have moved dimensions maybe that’s why we’ve seen a lack of the citadel of ricks this season because in the ricklantis mixup it shows that they now know ricks location and we know rick hates the citadel and moving would help him stay off their radar which is something I think he’d want with evil morty in charge
As Ricks like to say, "Don't think about it". If you try to connect things, it's all a big contradiction. Just enjoy the show, geez. Basically the whole point of episode 6.
@@jazzychues yeah but it makes no sense. They're in the same room, probably using the same objects, same bathroom. They could be sitting in their usual positions and it'd make zero difference.
I'm not sure if they give an explanation for why there's only a few realities for them to slip into that are similar to their own despite there being an infinite number of them, but I always thought of it as being more an issue of finding those realities among all the others. Like how prime numbers become more and more difficult to find at you get further from zero.
Cause having unlimited realities would compliantly remove the stakes from every story they want to tell cause they can just skip to another world over and over again. Having a limitation was needed. So you can just assume that there are uncounted amounts of realities but only some of them have actual humans, similar earth and Rick and Morty.
@@Pir-o I agree that there needed to be a reason preventing them from being able to just abort their reality for another one any time they want from a writing perspective so as to maintain the stakes of the story. However they explicitly say that there are an infinite amount of realities while also saying that there are only a few realities which adequately provide an alternate to their own. These statements are fundamentally contradictory. It's not sufficient to just say, "Oh, we can't do this," in order to preserve an audience's investment in the story while also giving information which gives every reason to why they can. This is why I suggested that when Rick says there's only a few realities for them to slip into what he really means is that there's only a few realities that he has currently identified for them to slip into, and that perhaps with each one he finds it becomes more difficult to find another similarly to prime numbers.
There isn't infinite Rick's. During the episode were Rick c137 is suspected to have killed the other Rick's they say something along the lines of "from all the Rick's in the finite curve you're the mal-content"
@@davidnobre171 I do recall something like that so I just looked it up casually on the wiki and some reddit posts. From what I can gather there isn't really any explanation for what the central finite curve is or what that means, so for all we know it's just some grouping of realities out of the realities which have been examined. I haven't read anything about it to imply it contains a grouping of realities taken from all realities or that there are a finite amount of realities or a finite amount of Ricks. I would be curious though if there is an explanation of what the central finite curve is somewhere. But regardless, Rick says multiple times in very explicit terms that there are infinite realities, I don't see why a single remark has more merit than that, especially if we don't even know what it means.
I heard the script came up 5 minutes short and the animator/animation director had to add the plane crash scene to make the episode long enough. So five full minutes of the silent part was added in.
Which to be honest Im sad about. Cause it could have been way less disturbing episode. The "Alive"/soccer team players stuck on Andes story is horrific at it is, using it to fill the screentime was at the same time unnecessary, but also it made this episode 100 times more impactful.
I love how Rick says he has no respect for and isn’t interested in time travel when he has a box on his shelf right next to him that says “Time Travel Stuff”
This episode stumped me. For two reasons: 1. When did Rick bring them to another reality to avoid ruining their own reality with the merge? 2. Morty brought up at the end how this Rick isnt his own Rick, so, do we end with our own Rick or a different one?
he probs moved morty when he was sleeping and when rick presses the button after he says "every rick has a vat of acid" we go back to normal rick...i think lol
The plane crash scene was based on a plane crash that happened in 1972 with a Uruguayan soccer team. Most of the group ended up dying, and the survivors lived by eating the bodies of those that died.
I love how during the whole montage, rick is nowhere to be found, and the whole family is pretty happy. It would have been cool if morty had refused to jump into Rick's vat at the end and just accepted responsibility and turned himself in while flipping rick off.
Actually we can see Rick in the dinner room with the girl and the rest of the family at one point, but yeah, Rick clearly knew what was about to happen and decided to stay way from all of that for the most part
@@nolangerrans6083 not really, Morty would be arrested and r**** in jail if he didn't jump in the vat (even tho this wasn't their reality, i think Rick was willing to left Morty there forever if he didn't jumped in the vat)
@@nolangerrans6083 I just thought it was funny how morty came to rick talking about the importance of accepting responsibility for one's actions, but when it came time to face the music he took the easy way out by jumping in the vat. Surrendering to the authorities would have been in line with the "lesson" that morty thought he learned.
@@Kveldrunari The only authority Rick cares about is himself and the only responsibility he cares about is Morty apologizing and accepting that Rick is god.
FUN FACT: The extended montage part was the director's idea: the writers were 5 min short with the episode so they added that subplot entirely last minute. That's likely the reason no dialogue was written for that scene.
The Simpson Easter egg was obvious but was one for South park aswell. The clothes they wore on the snowy mountain were all the colours of the South park kids
The relationship between Morty and that girl with the glasses are really going pretty well, it's just too bad it ended abruptly with just a push of a button. Talk about the one that got away, literally. This reminds me of a time when I played a video game and forgot to save it for a really long time and then the game suddenly just crashed out of nowhere, wasting my time and also losing those precious items that I have obtained. It really sucks.
@@kooshthedoosh6373 lol you chought me 😋. Well it's really hard to make up a new comment in every channel, so it's totally fine to do this since its my very own comment that I'm copying and pasting.
Jerry hitting the remote reminded me of the rat that randomly stepped on a button throwing Ant-man out of the quantum realm... after 5 years. Now that I think of it, one was time travel and one was another dimension. Either way in both cases it was eventually going to happen, wtf.
@@johanliebert4622 Rick wouldn't have let that happen. I mean he's probably the one who crashed the plane. Rick could have found them when they were crashed so easily if he wanted to
bro watching this is truly see how tragic it is that Morty gave up on the existence he made by doing all those things and their consequences, but also on his life with her. He only saw the negatives and not the possibilities.
Once again, Jerry fs things up for Morty. This time, however, he did the worst F up for Morty ever; Morty was finally happy living his life, until Jerry dropped a TV remote and did not bother looking at it; truly the most pathetic human being in animation! Major face slap.
Yeah - Like how do you go from the competency of common criminals questioning everything at the beginning to the sheer incompetence of Jerry who questions nothing?
@@daredevil6145 to answer your question I'd say: Season 1: Meeseeks and destroy Season 2: Total Rickall Season 3: The Ricklantis Mixup Season 4: The Vat of Acid Episode For season 5, I don't really know because I've only seen the first episode.
@@-hasamastersdegreeinwumbol8565 I agree with you and about S05- I've seen 5 episodes (1,2,3,4 and 7) they have to do better than Nimbus one to be perfect
Can we mention how amazing the title of the episode is? The writers were so confident in the strength of this episode that they just named it "The Vat of Acid Episode", they knew that this is what people would search for to find it, and that the central theme was so good that they didnt need some punny name
I would definitely try everything on the menu, and have 30 different conversations and really get to know the people I'm at the restaurant with. Then at the end, redo the best meal and best conversation and make those canon.
didn't they have to change to another reality when Morty went "doolitle" with the squirrels? it got erased from Morty's memory but still happened right?
Rick and Morty didn't kill the Rick and Morty of the universe that they're currently in, they were building a machine and it exploded in their faces killing them .
might be my favorite episode of the whole series.....I was cracking up when Morty yelled at the Heroin bum "I don't pay you for your friendship" and he just goes "damn" hahaha I love this show!!!!
One of the best episodes period. Only thing I wonder is why Morty didn't use the remote during the whole time he was in the relationship with the girl.
To clarify and help explain why that montage was so long was because for some odd reason the creators had 5 minutes of the video that they needed for a full episode so a writer put that whole thing for a regular 23 min or so long episode and that's why there was no dialogue because it was a squeezed in part
This end of this episode reminded me of that doctor who episode “The forest of the dead” when the simulation husband of Donna Noble couldn’t call to Donna cos of his lisp, like how Mortys girlfriend was about to stop him from jumping in the acid but was too late
This episode kinda reminds me of South Park’s “Scott Tenorman Must Die”. Like Cartman, Rick does something incredibly evil for the pettiest of reasons. It’s fucking brilliant.
plane crash was inspired by a true incident happened in the 70s. uruguan rugby team carrying plane, crashed in the andies mountain. they (people who survived the crash) had to survive 3 months in the freezing cold while eating few cans of cheese then some leather boots when all that ran out they ate people who had died during the crash. after 3 months waiting 2 of them went to seek help and after a horrible journey across the andies they found help and came for others by a helicopter.
You could save when you’re a kid and live your life the way you want then reset when you’re on your deathbed and relive your life but another way this time.
I'm expecting Morty to spot the one that was his girlfriend, probably next season sometime, in his current home reality. Will be interesting to see him having to choose to keep dreaming for Jessica or if he'll choose to try and recreate his hookup with her since it worked in the other reality.
they didn't kill the previous Rick and Morty,Rick found a world where the machine killed Rick and Morty. they portaled in immediately after it happened and continued living as the previous Rick and Morty
for the Q&A "would you rather go on an adventure with Rick and Morte or the doctor of your choice?" i don't actually know witch adventure would be safest, people die on Doctor Who adventures almost every episode
Yo do you realize that morty trying to jump over the manhole is an example old side scrollers where noobs try to figure out how to jump over river you keep dying then finally you make it to the next screen scroll, dye immediately in a new challenge and have to start over from the last check point which is before the first hurdle itself
At the Beginning I was sure they would just stay in the vat for the whole episode. It was hilarious when he "saved" without noticing and got that pepper spray like 7 times :-D
I think the plane crashing in the snowy mountains and resorting to cannibalism is a reference to the 1993 movie 'Alive' which was based on real life events.
Rick is the pettiest man in the multiverse.
You’re realizing that now?
Remember when planets were destroyed just so he could get Morty to back out on the Netflix deal?
I just took that for granite. 🙄

@@nolangerrans6083 not really, Morty would be arrested and r**** in jail if he didn't jump in the vat (even tho this wasn't their reality, i think Rick was willing to left Morty there forever if he didn't jumped in the vat)
@@nolangerrans6083 I just thought it was funny how morty came to rick talking about the importance of accepting responsibility for one's actions, but when it came time to face the music he took the easy way out by jumping in the vat. Surrendering to the authorities would have been in line with the "lesson" that morty thought he learned.
@@Kveldrunari The only authority Rick cares about is himself and the only responsibility he cares about is Morty apologizing and accepting that Rick is god.
Never realized how big the room is that y'all film in until u guys had one reactor sit so far back
Pocket Morties just refers to her as "Morty's Girlfriend"
Did they update the game? I deleted it when I finished it a long time ago
@@joker_views They've been adding new Morties and raid battles and avatars based on the recent episodes
Arthur Watson oh wow! Might have to download again, thank you!
I didn't know she was in there. That makes me sad and also want to unlock her. Pocket mortys is still alive and well, thankfully.
Now we gotta wait to see what Eric did that caused him to reset at this point...
Probably went to Arby’s in Columbus Ohio
FUN FACT: The extended montage part was the director's idea: the writers were 5 min short with the episode so they added that subplot entirely last minute. That's likely the reason no dialogue was written for that scene.
The Simpson Easter egg was obvious but was one for South park aswell. The clothes they wore on the snowy mountain were all the colours of the South park kids
And also, Rick talks about Futurama
And Morty was Kenny!
Rick: Explains the horriblle reality of the remote
Eric and Aaron: 👁️👄👁️
Calvin: This is fine.
The relationship between Morty and that girl with the glasses are really going pretty well, it's just too bad it ended abruptly with just a push of a button. Talk about the one that got away, literally.
This reminds me of a time when I played a video game and forgot to save it for a really long time and then the game suddenly just crashed out of nowhere, wasting my time and also losing those precious items that I have obtained. It really sucks.
literally saw the same comment on the normies
@@kooshthedoosh6373 lol you chought me 😋.
Well it's really hard to make up a new comment in every channel, so it's totally fine to do this since its my very own comment that I'm copying and pasting.
Was it Skyrim? That sounds very Skyrim.
Dude. I've done that before. The WORST fucking feeling. That feeling in the pit of your stomach of "Did I save!!!?"
koosh the doosh dang u exposed that poor bastard
Jerry hitting the remote reminded me of the rat that randomly stepped on a button throwing Ant-man out of the quantum realm... after 5 years. Now that I think of it, one was time travel and one was another dimension. Either way in both cases it was eventually going to happen, wtf.
This episode is similar Roy's simulation. Post: So stupid Jerry.
@@johanliebert4622 Rick wouldn't have let that happen. I mean he's probably the one who crashed the plane. Rick could have found them when they were crashed so easily if he wanted to
This was easily the best one of this season. Such a great episode. Love watching your reaction videos. Sending love from Slovakia .
When morty lost his girl like that it gave me a whole new perspective on life
Wish they kept the part where they fight
Ikr
bro watching this is truly see how tragic it is that Morty gave up on the existence he made by doing all those things and their consequences, but also on his life with her. He only saw the negatives and not the possibilities.
Once again, Jerry fs things up for Morty. This time, however, he did the worst F up for Morty ever; Morty was finally happy living his life, until Jerry dropped a TV remote and did not bother looking at it; truly the most pathetic human being in animation! Major face slap.
Yeah - Like how do you go from the competency of common criminals questioning everything at the beginning to the sheer incompetence of Jerry who questions nothing?
Don't worry, Rick would screw Morty up anyway.
@@Astuar that is true, but there is a difference between Rick and Jerry: Rick is an a-hole and Jerry is a pathetic human piece of crap.
@@antman7288 At least in most realities anyway
But why tf didn’t Morty add new checkpoints to save his progress while he was dating that girl?
Came here to rewatch after this episode got an Emmy
Moral of the story: don’t ever diss ricks ideas. EVER.
This is definitley my favourite episode in season 4 and defo in my top 3 of the whole series. Had me laughing from start to end XD
Only Rick can be this dark and it be hilarious 🤣🤣
I love how every season has that one episode that is almost perfect.
@@-hasamastersdegreeinwumbol8565 which ones do you think ?
@@daredevil6145 to answer your question I'd say:
Season 1: Meeseeks and destroy
Season 2: Total Rickall
Season 3: The Ricklantis Mixup
Season 4: The Vat of Acid Episode
For season 5, I don't really know because I've only seen the first episode.
@@-hasamastersdegreeinwumbol8565 I agree with you
and about S05- I've seen 5 episodes (1,2,3,4 and 7) they have to do better than Nimbus one to be perfect
Can we mention how amazing the title of the episode is? The writers were so confident in the strength of this episode that they just named it "The Vat of Acid Episode", they knew that this is what people would search for to find it, and that the central theme was so good that they didnt need some punny name
That plane scene is an ultimate example of show don't tell
This episode was incredible, first 10/10 of the season for me!
I don't understand how Morty didn't think to checkpoint reality when his relationship was getting good...
This was the most craziest episode ever.
I would definitely try everything on the menu, and have 30 different conversations and really get to know the people I'm at the restaurant with. Then at the end, redo the best meal and best conversation and make those canon.
didn't they have to change to another reality when Morty went "doolitle" with the squirrels? it got erased from Morty's memory but still happened right?
Rick and Morty didn't kill the Rick and Morty of the universe that they're currently in, they were building a machine and it exploded in their faces killing them .
might be my favorite episode of the whole series.....I was cracking up when Morty yelled at the Heroin bum "I don't pay you for your friendship" and he just goes "damn" hahaha I love this show!!!!
This is my absolute favorite episode of the show.
i never laughed so hard at the beginning....ooohh hey ooohh... not the rat the guy!! lmfao
i think you guys omitted the best parts of the episode
bruh the funniest part was the acid proof guy lol
12:04 Same, Rick. I, too, feel the sting of feeling robbed of a rocky road ice cream with peanut butter instead of marshmallows
This is one of the greatest episodes of the show because it's got some funny moments but the core of the episode is raw emotion.
I was so happy when they referenced The Prestige, one of my favorite movies ever!
I keep forgetting this show is back on lol
ikr they takeway too long so when theyre back for the little time they are, its hard to stay in the rhythm of it
One of the best episodes period. Only thing I wonder is why Morty didn't use the remote during the whole time he was in the relationship with the girl.
Feel like they make it very special since it is the only good decision he ever made in that reality😭
dont forget they jumped another reality when Morty went all Dr. Dolittle and Rick had to zap all the squirrels
To clarify and help explain why that montage was so long was because for some odd reason the creators had 5 minutes of the video that they needed for a full episode so a writer put that whole thing for a regular 23 min or so long episode and that's why there was no dialogue because it was a squeezed in part
I didn't notice this on the initial watch, but the segment with Morty and his girlfriend the music is from/references Up?
I watched this episode twice now and your reaction 3 times this night be my favorite episode of the show definitely of the season so far
I swear, this is probably the funniest episode of the series. I can't remember laughing harder than I did during any other episode.
There they go back to trolling us with the continuity again lol.
They pulled a twisted version of “Up” 😂
Only Rick would invent something more elaborate and complicated than fucking time travel to get back at Morty
Was looking forward to this all day.
The season 4 finale wrapped so many storylines up nicely
11:41 I’ve never laughed harder at anything
It’s just a butt joke but it’s so out of nowhere it’s fucking hilarious
This end of this episode reminded me of that doctor who episode “The forest of the dead” when the simulation husband of Donna Noble couldn’t call to Donna cos of his lisp, like how Mortys girlfriend was about to stop him from jumping in the acid but was too late
The Heist episode was also about Rick being petty.
15:27 on the post credits scene of the previous episode you can see the their graves in the backyard
aww, did they skip the blazing row where Morty caused Rick to lose his temper? cos that was my favourite bit
you're editing out the best moments! "KISS. THE VAT!"
This episode kinda reminds me of South Park’s “Scott Tenorman Must Die”. Like Cartman, Rick does something incredibly evil for the pettiest of reasons. It’s fucking brilliant.
8:23 is the best part
plane crash was inspired by a true incident happened in the 70s. uruguan rugby team carrying plane, crashed in the andies mountain. they (people who survived the crash) had to survive 3 months in the freezing cold while eating few cans of cheese then some leather boots when all that ran out they ate people who had died during the crash. after 3 months waiting 2 of them went to seek help and after a horrible journey across the andies they found help and came for others by a helicopter.
You know, during the montage I was waiting for Rick to do something to help Morty, but now I realize he was immortal for the time being.
You could save when you’re a kid and live your life the way you want then reset when you’re on your deathbed and relive your life but another way this time.
I'm expecting Morty to spot the one that was his girlfriend, probably next season sometime, in his current home reality. Will be interesting to see him having to choose to keep dreaming for Jessica or if he'll choose to try and recreate his hookup with her since it worked in the other reality.
This episode killed me when I first saw it🤣💀 cant wait for season 5 it’s almost here
I love all the little details like the plane has 571 written on it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguayan_Air_Force_Flight_571
2:24 This man is golden.
You guys act so surprised that Rick is so petty. Have you guys not watched the first three seasons? 😃
they didn't kill the previous Rick and Morty,Rick found a world where the machine killed Rick and Morty. they portaled in immediately after it happened and continued living as the previous Rick and Morty
That red pill or blue pill in the control was genius!! Best season 4 episode so far for me
for the Q&A "would you rather go on an adventure with Rick and Morte or the doctor of your choice?"
i don't actually know witch adventure would be safest, people die on Doctor Who adventures almost every episode
9:40
Eric and Aaron: WHAT THE HELL?
Calvin: Hm. Neat.
Ladies and gentlemen, there are the purest reactions to Rick and Morty.
Yo do you realize that morty trying to jump over the manhole is an example old side scrollers where noobs try to figure out how to jump over river you keep dying then finally you make it to the next screen scroll, dye immediately in a new challenge and have to start over from the last check point which is before the first hurdle itself
At the Beginning I was sure they would just stay in the vat for the whole episode. It was hilarious when he "saved" without noticing and got that pepper spray like 7 times :-D
I think the plane crashing in the snowy mountains and resorting to cannibalism is a reference to the 1993 movie 'Alive' which was based on real life events.
Oh my god just went to check my subs page to see if you uploaded and it said it was uploaded 1 second ago
