9:40 The most interesting thing about Jerry's "Rick or me" ultimatum scene to me is that the moment he said it even the kids knew she'd pick Rick. Look at their faces, they all knew the family dynamic without any need of verbal communication. And by the look on Jerry's face, Beth's silence is when he finally realised as well.
@@wisewolftony I think beth is having adventures elsewhere and the one that "stayed" in fact IS a clone. Rick brought the gun to kill her, but then felt too bad about it after she had her little speech. he figured he could convince her she is not a clone, instead of making a new one or blowing the secret.
14:03 To clarify: This Galactic Federation is of this universe only, that's why they wanted his formula for interdimensional travel. There's a different Galactic Federation in every universe. But the Citadel of the Counsel of Ricks is made of many Ricks from different alternate universes. There is only one Counsel of Ricks in the "Centra-finite Curve". So now if they portal to a different dimension there will be a new Galactic Federation but no Counsel of Ricks.
@@Leeor1214 He didn't call it. It was more or less explained in the episode where we first see Evil Morty. The Central Finite Curve wasn't just established for the finale, it has been there forever. Even the Battle of Bloodridge was mentioned in season 2's finale.This is why the writers of this show are so good.
Seal Team Ricks wasn't apart of his plan. He was prepared to infiltrate the Federation as the Counselor Bug and collapse them that way. But STR showed up and he adapted to that and moved forward from there.
I like to imagine that every Rick has had their family killed or in some way screwed by the Citadel, then they get jaded and then do it to another Rick, cause who does Rick hate the most? Himself. So they ensure no version of themselves can be happy since they aren’t.
The impression I got from Rick yelling at Morty about his "origin story" being a lie was that it was at least partially true. Bringing it up so suddenly to Morty, who wasn't even there to see it, made it seem like an actual hangup Rick has.
The speech was entirely meta. He wasn't speaking to just Morty; he is primarily speaking to the audience, and Morty is secondary. Rick always knows his speech at the beginning of the season has to be meta.
If you watch this episode and the Season 10 finale you can actually see that among the memories clone Beth is given is a birthday with her mom as a kid and it looks exactly like "Diane"... ...so there is some grain of truth to this origin story wherever it be.
Our Rick is the infinite Rick. He is like only one who both genuinely cares about his family and because his wife and daughter died. He is the only one who wants to live, to love and protect a Beth. The other Ricks had their wives killed because it an right of passage into the infinite knowledge. He's the only one who loses his Beth so he understands life is precious. The citadel adds new Ricks for 2 reasons: 1. The pursuit of knowledge 2.they cannot stand the idea of a Rick being happy.
I think it's really about Rick closing himself off from his true emotions because he knows that nothing really matters because there are infinite universes and it depresses him because he loves his family but he knows that it doesnt "matter"
I think once he left the Brainalizer he'd have just destroyed the Galactic Government. Morty and Summer told the Citadel of Ricks where he was, and Seal Team Ricks (love that name, btw) interrupted him getting the Level 9 password and just... doing it. He said to the bug that was interrogating him in his head that he was leaving it with 6 years of improv workshops, thus he forgot how to improvise. Teleporting the Citadel to the prison was his Plan B.
I dont understand the confusion about Beth and Jerry's relationship. Beth (in seasons 1 and 2) had fundamental problems with aspects of Jerry's personality (specifically with how spineless he was in important situations). Just cause they have a good day or therapy session or whatever, it wont matter if Beth still hates those aspects of Jerry's personality cause his personality didnt change (except in cronenberg world). Even whe they made up and had good moments, Beth will eventually get sick of Jerry after a few months of seeing him do things she hates over an over again. This is why their relationship was always rocky in the first few seasons, they never fixed their problems (not until the end of season 3).
Also Beth has stated mutiple times in previous seasons that if she had to choose between her dad and Jerry she would choose her dad "so don't make me choose" or "you already know the answer" lmao
I just realized at 4:02 the "mannequin leg" bit is about the creator Dan Harmond, at some point he admitted about having a foot fetish or something and owning a mannequin leg.
I love season 3. One great episode after another. And the fact that you had progression with Beth and Jerry saying split up for the entire season. Wonderful!
What if Rick's origin story is true. He invented the dimensional gun after Dianne and Beth were killed. He then went searching for them in other dimensions and moving in with them in those dimensions where the Ricks disappeared/we're gone.
My theory is the only fake thing about that origin story was the color of his pants. It was a true story, but by making his pants a different color, it was a "fabricated" story. Why else would they include that erroneous detail?
I thought it might of been since the pants he was wearing were the same colour as Morty's, and it was hinting at the Morty is Rick theory? I'm not too sure though.
That jumping between looking for his original Beth made me think maybe he's also one of the only Ricks to lose his family due to early experiments, which could also be why he resents the others and their organization that relies on that travel (also works for if back story was true on why he wouldn't like the council of Ricks, since it was one of them that murdered his family)
The whole show was made just so the main writer could get some of that Mulan sauce (dunno how to spell it). Watching this show is like eating magic mushrooms as far as what it does to your thinking
Lol the highlight skipped my favorite line *Councilman Rick* "Operating an unregistered portal gun, radicalizing a Summer, conspiring with a traitorous Rick, how do you plead!?" *Morty* "How is this a fair trial!? Our lawyer is a Morty!"
yea since the brainilizer was on the federation ship, he wanted to become the highest ranking Rick there, since he knew he'd probably be settling in that body, hence him saying "*burp* good enough" to the Commander in Chief of the Citadel's militia
Guys I honestly feel stupid for just now realizing this but the reason he told Jerry to take off his clothes in the beginning is because he already knew who he was dealing with. RICK IS A GENIUS. He literally figured it out in a minute.
Man I can't get over just how over-the-top aggressive R&M fans got just because a restaurant chain was mentioned in one episo-WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHONEY'S SUCKS, AARON???
These are the two most important guys in her life, if she told Rick to leave the family he would never come back. She chose Rick because she was afraid that she would lose him forever, Jerry would come back (like Lassie) because there is no one else in this world and he is cute and stupid and she loves him just like that.
A question... if Rick keeps traveling to different realities with exact copies of Morty, Summer, Jerry, and Beth (who was killed by Uber Rick) why can't he find an alternate reality with his wife, Diane?
I still believe the origin story he gave the bug was more or less legit. Explains some inconsistencies in the timeline and makes a lot of sense for the character to me. But the creators will likely never commit to an origin story lol
Here's a theory: the backstory with Rick's family WAS real. How better to fool the Federation than with a little bit of the truth? And its not like Rick would ever admit it afterward.
i feel like while ricks backstory was fake but had some truth in it but that's just me just because of how rick was acting when his wife and child 'died'
"Your father threatened to turn me into the government so I made him and the government disappear."

Now they almost have 400k Subs
No come on ULTIMATE RICK IS THE GREATEST
He did good for someone who had to leave behind his improvisational ability
i like how the battery powering the citadel is just a huge version of the portal gun's power source
just like tony's arc reactor

Prof Primbottom BEST EPISODE OF THE WHOLE SHOW!
vanomxxx best of the season at least
vanomxxx to think it was all one person if you think about it.... but one thing we've learned from Rick and Morty "don't think about it" 😂🤣
*tales of the citadel
BUTTERNUTS :D well, the actual name of the “Tales From The Citadel” episode is the Rickatlantis Mixup, so it’s correct, but I still see what you mean.
Today I learned Shonies is a real restaurant. For some reason I thought it was a made up restaurant for Rick and Morty.
same man XD
I thought it was a parody of Denny’s lol
I used at eat at Shoney’s all the time when I was a kid, it was where I first tried Cap’n Crunch. I love that place.
I hope it doesn’t suck now.
mhan00 I thought you wrote “Rick is a shorty and is in a real restaurant”
I remember the lollypop tree

Well he did also mention the sauce, which morty had no idea of
Seeds of truth, maybe...
Science cost him his wife, etc.

Yesss thanks so much for reuploading, I was binge watching all your episodes and died because these two weren't available in my country.
this is not an re-upload, it is a video of blindwave from a different dimensions!
I love how you all froze when Jerry said, "It's him or me." haha

I just realized at 4:02 the "mannequin leg" bit is about the creator Dan Harmond, at some point he admitted about having a foot fetish or something and owning a mannequin leg.
Would explain why it was also used as an object of affection by Chang in Community.
the end scene (not the after credit scene) was supposed to replicate the end of the pilot episode
Thanks so much for reuploading this.
Still the best episode to this day
I like how you can tell it's a fake backstory because Beth was in the explosion too.
Though the idea that it is Simple Rick's backstory is insane.
Well you can't actually tell. You could just as easily theorize that Rick cloned another Beth.
Well he could of just moved to a new dimension after that. He did say rick’s are like hermit crabs once in regards to swapping shells and dimensions.
This comment aged badly
Lmao.
I love season 3. One great episode after another. And the fact that you had progression with Beth and Jerry saying split up for the entire season. Wonderful!
The Ricklantis Mixup is my favorite, but this is a close second
Calvin's reactions are my favorite. I know a video will be especially awesome when I see him in the thumbnail.
What if Rick's origin story is true. He invented the dimensional gun after Dianne and Beth were killed. He then went searching for them in other dimensions and moving in with them in those dimensions where the Ricks disappeared/we're gone.

He didn't plan on fighting the citadel, he improvised when they showed up to kill him.
This is one of my favorite episodes so far
Oof, it wasn't fake
17:43 That was a bad thing! That their impressions worked together implied that the REAL them were TERRIBLE together!
One of the best animated episodes of television to ever air....
Yay! Thanks guys!

Nah, he says in his speech to Morty at the end that it was all fake.

Great reaction! Such an amazing episode!
Anyone notice one of the Morty’s in the intro had the power sword from Legend of Zelda?
"He's a spy, blow him up. I'm gonna go take a shit."
"Darkest year of our adventures"
What is with Dan Harmon and making season 3 the darkest. He did the same with Community lol
Can't wait till season 4 comes. Can't wait to watch it with you guys.
Omg i just realise that the intro is different xD
Lol the highlight skipped my favorite line
*Councilman Rick* "Operating an unregistered portal gun, radicalizing a Summer, conspiring with a traitorous Rick, how do you plead!?"
*Morty* "How is this a fair trial!? Our lawyer is a Morty!"
Whenever anyone claims "Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie" there is only one suitable response: "Now I have a machine gun, ho ho ho."
yea since the brainilizer was on the federation ship, he wanted to become the highest ranking Rick there, since he knew he'd probably be settling in that body, hence him saying "*burp* good enough" to the Commander in Chief of the Citadel's militia
Found out I live 15 minutes away from Shoney's. Going there one day now
COWBOY BEBOP!!...wait...déjà vu ?
oh my! that ending is the same like the first episode lol
7:19 "Blow ep up, I'm gonna go take a sh-t"
if you think this was crazy. . . look up some videos to see what happened when the sauce came back. . people went nuts
can't wait for episode 7
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
oh my goddddd aaron is fucking exhausting
Toxic relationship syndrome is Jerry & Beth
The last Rick we saw him take over was the Commander in Chief of the Citadel's militia.
I may be wrong but I think the show creators were given a gallon of Szechuan sauce by McDonald's after this episode.
The mannequin leg is a reference to Dan Harmon's mannequin leg.
I thought j was having some intense Deja Vu
Guys I honestly feel stupid for just now realizing this but the reason he told Jerry to take off his clothes in the beginning is because he already knew who he was dealing with. RICK IS A GENIUS. He literally figured it out in a minute.

These are the two most important guys in her life, if she told Rick to leave the family he would never come back.
She chose Rick because she was afraid that she would lose him forever, Jerry would come back (like Lassie) because there is no one else in this world and he is cute and stupid and she loves him just like that.
Shun the non-believer, Shoney's is the best
I didn't knew about McDonald's McNuggets' Mulan Teriyaki Szechuan Dipping Sauce until I Google it
I keep clicking on these reuploads hoping they are a new episode
A question... if Rick keeps traveling to different realities with exact copies of Morty, Summer, Jerry, and Beth (who was killed by Uber Rick) why can't he find an alternate reality with his wife, Diane?
I noticed that one of the aliens was voiced by Nolan North.
press 0 on your keyboard a few times and look xddd
To be fair that sauce was pretty damn good
I think Our rick is the rick kill family
Aaron can be really terrible in an argument at times!
