How did we fall asleep during interdimensional cable. Yeah, what the hell
"yelling at Summer"
all right Morty this noise let's get out of here and go on a classic Rick
and Morty adventure Yeah right Rick I'm all in!
no wonder you're constantly
fighting with each other behind schedule.
What? Nothing.
Hey everybody new Morty's
mind-blowers. Probably one of the best episodes of the season. I love the way
that they make fun of themselves they make fun of youtubers. Save it for
YouTube. So let's just go through all the Easter eggs and there is a new round of
that merch giveaway all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber leave a
comment on this video I'll name a new winner at the end of this so starting
with them running through Morpheus as Dream Land at the beginning of the
episode which is basically this giant 3d MC Escher building it's a dark tower
Stephen King reference but it has Neil Gaiman's Sandman who's running after
them while they're holding the truth turtle so a lot of you Stephen King fans
have been messaging me asking me if the turtle is actually a reference to
Stephen King's turtle who's like this giant cosmic being and I think that's
what they were going for if you haven't read the books the turtle is the
guardian of one of these cosmic beams but he exists outside of the normal
universe he's so powerful that they say that he actually got a stomach ache at
the beginning of creation and vomited up the normal universe that's how big of a
concept he is there's this really cool quote about him it says see the turtle
of enormous girth on his shell he holds the earth his thought is slow but always
kind he holds us all within his mind so you can see how they sort of used that
metaphor to give Morty the entire truth the universal truth so a lot of you in
my timeline were wondering if we were seeing a version of the origin story for
evil Morty before the big turn where he's like I'm going to kill myself I can't
take this all if they had have done that part at the end I would have said yeah
totally we're seeing a version of evil Morty being born here but it does lend
some credence to the idea that evil Morty is a Morty who hasn't had his
memories extracted by whoever his first Rick was whether it's our rig or whether
it was someone else I think that our Rick does have a special
connection with them that we just haven't learned yet but one of the
memory flashes actually did go back to his 13th birthday and people keep
quoting Justin roiland is saying that Rick didn't come back till Morty was 14
so they're actually pushing the timeline further and further back on Rick and
Morty in this but for a couple minutes in the episode Morty turns into bran
Stark he holds everything in his head and just starts to go crazy but a lot of
you were wondering if this is bill cipher like the Eye of Providence that's
sitting in the statue of the truth turtle in the background here alex
hirsch actually posted these funny tweets so per his explanation this is
not bill cipher because he's not wearing a top hat but there was another gravity
falls Easter Egg because one of the vials reads Stanford has in Stanford
Pines we actually found out the color scheme but they didn't explain every
single color the greens I don't think we ever found out what they were about but
the Blues were when Morty did something bad the Reds were when Rick did
something bad the purple was when his family did something bad and then we
never really get clarity on the yellow or the green ones but I think they're
just going for a Pixar inside out thing where you have the different emotions
that are different colors but like Rick says don't read into it Morty I don't
color code my memories but he tends to lie a lot about that but the way he
named them was pretty funny too like one of them is named virginity so there are
a couple legit names like Dingle farts that was the one where he was jacking
the alien off so not all them had complete nonsense names but there was
the one that was in a mall gyum of a bunch of different memories and he even
breaks the fourth wall again after the menagerie one where Morty's like how
come I saw the other people's memories and Rick's like I had to add some extra
context to make the memories play a little bit better so he's talking to us
the audience in order to make the scenes play better you need more context for
the characters but there were a crazy number of Easter eggs throughout the
vignettes so you sort of ease in from the more straight-up memories where
Morty does something bad to the really crazy montage at the very end so it
starts out with more of a straight-up rear-window Alfred Hitchcock story where
he accidentally gets somebody to commit suicide because of a smudge on the lens
interesting thing to note summer seemed crazy smart in this episode one she's
been through this several times so it's totally casual for her to clean up their
mess at the end but it the beginning of this first memory she
knows instantly that it's a smudge it's probably a smudge and Morty just refuses
to believe that until the end of the story so the other big fourth wall break
is when rick is explaining why they can't give the memories special names
because we're not doing a simpsons halloween special that's like the Adult
Swim executive telling them that they can't name this exactly like you would
do a Simpsons Halloween special because we don't want to get sued by Fox so most
of you probably picked up on the menagerie Easter eggs the menagerie is a
Star Trek episode from the original series where Christopher Pike and
another person get captured by the two oceans that look like this crazy veiny
alien that just collects other creatures trying to make them mate because they've
lost the ability so it's a creepy premise but it's an amazing Star Trek
story but you spot a couple of other creatures from previously in the series
there's a female cos or peon right across from them and there's a couple of
meeseeks I couldn't see all the cells so there might be some more familiar aliens
in the background here but their escape is basically a parody of the contact
movie with Jodie Foster where they send them instructions oh it's a code they
want us to come find them so Rick tricks her in they swap places and come back so
presumably that Jodie Foster character and that other guy are still stuck in
there at the mercy of the two oceans the really cool thing about the Floop Floop
Ian's memory is that this is actually the omae's winner from last year doing
the voice for this so it's just a totally normal person that won an omae's
charity contest and got to voice this character we learned that Beth loves
summer more than Morty which is kind of a bummer Bebo is just a tonton joke from
Empire Strikes Back captain Skye I think was a reference to
Captain Skyhawk which was a classic NES invasion game from back in the 80s then
there's a little bit of a continuity error when they start going at each
other and they break all the vials Rick picks up a purple one walks into the
next frame and is holding a blue one there were a crazy number of men and
black references Rick thinks the movies were joyless trash but the mind eraser
is something from the men and black movies that they use a lot for comedy
and when Morty makes the pederast reference it's just a funny twist on the
dock Marty relationship from Back to the Future like if you saw a teenage boy
spending lots of I'm up at the weird mansion of a notable
crazy person you would probably think that he was a weirdo too but one of my
favorites was Morty making the YouTube joke save it for YouTube Rick he's
talking about his men in black to rant he's just making fun of YouTube rant
videos so they were making fun of youtubers but they also made fun of
themselves at the end of the episode which was probably one of the best ones
- if you remember last year there was an article going around where somebody had
misquoted Dan Harmon and then a bunch of other people started misquoting him
saying that season three had been delayed because they've been fighting
inside the writers room so that's what summers making fun of when she Riley
says you fight so much no wonder you're so far behind schedule she's basically
talking about the writers and of course that was all false - Dan Harmon came out
then and clarified his statements he's like no no no we all love each other we
just took way too long riding the season I think the level memory is one of the
few times we see shirtless Rick in addition to the unity episode and then
one of the big mind blowers is that we learned they had to jump to another
reality again meaning that we don't know which reality is the one that they're in
in the show right now he directly references a line of dialogue from the
Cronenberg episode you know I said we can only do that a couple of times
we're over here the answer is don't think about it it's not like we could do
this every week anyways we get three or four more of these tops but there are a
couple minor continuity errors because of the memories that they still have
with them at the end of the episode like you look at the Jerry box and you see
the apples from M night Shyam-Aliens meaning that a lot of these memories
were taken out before Cronenberg world so they should have jumped to another
reality so they shouldn't have any of these memories with them so I think the
idea is that the episode is actually taking place in present-day
but here check this out this is their whiteboard for all the ideas they had
for all these separate bin yets you can see the ones that didn't make it
so if you were confused about where in the time line this episode is supposed
to fit just assume it's in present day and there were a couple of errors but
like I said we see Morty's 13th birthday the reason it's a mind-blower is because
we think that he didn't meet c-137 Rick until he was 14 so the timeline is just
getting pushed earlier we see him accidentally
killing Santa somehow he gets engaged to Mr. Poopy Butthole so he also comes back
I know people like where's mr. poopy butthole
we see a doll version of Morty being juggled by Rick so he turned him into a
doll so he could pull him apart like an action figure
then juggle him we see a Ghostbusters memory he gets his head stuck on
snuffles body when summer fixes them it turns on interdimensional Cable for them
it's a version of house hunters where they're literally hunting houses like
you actually see the houses bleed after they shoot them and then everybody
picked up on the ET reference for Jerry's mind blowers it's a good PSA for
not leaving your children in hot cars with the windows rolled up or your
animals and I love the fact that Jerry's mind blowers are all on VHS tapes but I
think that's just a continuation of the ET reference because that's a classic
80s movie so I think they were just going with that motif for Jerry but let
me know in the comments have you spotted any other references that I didn't
mention in the video my next Rick and Morty video will be for episode 9 I'll
do a trailer video for that tomorrow and congratulations to Alberto Nava you're
