and not every single reference that’s
made hey you know scary T don’t even
trip about your pants dog here’s a pair
on us full o number 10 saw and the
Avengers Vindicator 3 the return of
world Endor Rick is this a saw thing
are you seriously sawing The Vindicator
sorry I’m a drunk not a hack in a season
3 episode it’s revealed that Rick and
Morty are members of a hero organization
known as The Vindicator z’ who are
clearly a veiled parody of The Avengers
and to a lesser extent the guardians of
the galaxy and even the Justice League
to teach them a lesson
Rick gets drunk defeats their archenemy
and sets them on an elaborate sauce tile
journey through traps designed to screw
with them in the extreme stress of their
attempts to escape drunk Rick’s
elaborate game The Vindicator ‘s argue
among themselves and are generally more
of a danger to each other than Rick is
further parodying the Avengers tendency
to fight among themselves I’m sorry
isn’t everything
I thought humans were more evolved than
this number 9 die hard and John wick
pickle Rick seems to be using the air
ducts in the mail huge to get around
pickle Rick sees Rick turn into what
else a pickle through an elaborate
series of events the scientist manages
to fashioned himself limbs and
Julie escapes into an office there Rick
finds himself in the middle of a die
hard scenario as he must fight a group
of European criminals alone in a
building using stealth tactics the
action also features plenty of men
killed by pencils which is a reference
to the John wick series
the men also nicknamed Rick’s Alenia
which is Russian for pickles similar to
John wick having his own Russian
nickname pickle Rick does an excellent
job mashing up two fantastic action
franchises bullshit
number eight M night Shyamalan movies M
night Shyamalan ‘he’s well what’s this
well what could this possibly be because
it looks like you’re inside a simulation
inside a simulation M night Shyamalan is
infamous for featuring twist endings in
his movies and M night Shyamalan mocks
that tendency from its title to its own
numerous mind screws Rick becomes
convinced that he and Morty are inside a
simulation which they are their captors
are scamming aliens out to find the
secret for concentrated dark matter of
which Rick has knowledge after escaping
that simulation though
turns out they were inside another
simulation and Morty was part of it the
whole time oh my god Rick how dumb are
you you’re inside a simulation of a
simulation inside another giant
simulation Rick gets the last laugh on
the scammers as he tricks the aliens
into blowing themselves up in a twist
worthy of Shyamalan himself and the
final ingredient
Wow what happened back there when you
ask the smartest people in the universe
Jerry oh yeah you can’t they blew up
number seven
invasion of the Body Snatchers and
community auto-erotic assemble a look
like your friends your family your
leaders but they’re not themselves
anymore they’re part of it didn’t get on
the ship with you those two ding-dongs
seem pretty calm about the whole thing
auto-erotic assem elation sees Rick and
his grandkids encountering his ex unity
which is a hive mind unity takes over
the minds of intelligent species in a
manner reminiscent of the invasion of
the Body Snatchers films although Rick
and Morty flips the premise on its head
by suggesting that the people unity
takes over are probably better off that
way
this woman was a drug addict on the
verge of suicide now she’s a marine
biologist in addition the episode
features a short but notable parody of
another of creator Dan Harmon shows
community satirizing its cancellation
return and the pedestal people put
Harmon on happy cry now make them all
make fun of the blond one now make them
all do it on the table can’t believe you
created a whole show for me
no cancel it okay now put it back on
alright I’m bored
number six the Mad Max franchise Rickman
Singh the Stone
that was cool during their
dimension-hopping adventures Rick Morty
and summer encounter a post-apocalyptic
dimension that’s an affectionate parody
of the Mad Max series who wants to take
a poke at my man spy neither here from
masked madman 2 dome-shaped deathmatch
rings this episode features many of the
gas punk film franchises brutal staples
Rick and Morty even examines something
rarely seen in the Mad Max films
themselves the downright domestic
downtime between the high-octane
adventures we noticed that you’ve been
putting I got it seeing relationship
drama play out in a wasteland
environment is hilarious and
incorporates the parody into the plot of
the episode in a fun and unique way so i
can assume you haven’t murdered a single
person today oh I don’t know I didn’t
mark my murders in my murder log number
5 inception and a Nightmare on Elm
Street lawnmower dog you could enter
people’s dreams Morty
it’s just like that movie that you keep
crowing about you talking about
inception that’s right Morty this is
gonna be a lot like that except you know
it’s gonna move it makes sense
inception mates say you don’t have to
try to impress me Morty well it was
tempting to give this entry to the film
parody that drives its B plot and gives
it its name the lawnmower man we went
with the better-known movies that are
referenced in its primary plot after
deciding that tutoring him is a hassle
Rick implants the idea that Morty should
get good grades in math in his teacher’s
dreams in a parody of Inception which
they both name-drop dream was in a dream
two levels
three not possible that many dreams
within dreams is too unstable
it is possible inside the dreams within
dreams the pair eventually encounters
scary Terry a dream demon whose
appearance is akin to Freddy Krueger of
a Nightmare on Elm Street
however Terry doesn’t have Krueger’s
gift with puns number four the purge
franchise
look who’s purging now this is not a
test
this is your emergency broadcast system
announcing the commencement of the
annual purge sanctioned by the US
government commencing at the siren any
and all crime including
here we go the purge film series is set
in a fictional America where for one
night a year all crime is legal allowing
for a period of lawless carnage and
mayhem in this episode rick and morty
land on an alien world where the natives
engage in a similar exercise at the
behest of the ruling class you because
you have one night a year where you all
run around robbing and murdering each
other without consequence that’s right
what it’s like the purge morty that
movie the purge Oh have you been here
before the wanton violence soon brings
out Morty’s own bottled up anger that he
takes out on the planets inhabitants in
a rampage of blind rage look who’s
purging now manages to use its film
parody to provide a means of insight
into Morty’s character and provide a
very funny and very dark premise for an
episode number 3 Jurassic Park and
Fantastic Voyage Anatomy park welcome
Morty welcome Rick and Morty has a way
of combining concepts from different
sources to make some very creative plots
and one of the most outlandish is
Anatomy Park after shrinking his
grandson down to microscopic size Rick
sends Morty inside a man whose insides
he’s turned into a theme park called
Anatomy Park everything from its logo to
its exhibits running wild and the park
employees are lifted from Jurassic Park
[Music]
meanwhile the investigation of a
person’s body from within is evocative
of the classic of that sub-genre
Fantastic Voyage albeit a far Messier
version number two love potion number
nine and David Cronenberg movies Ric
potion number nine love potion number
nine is a cheesy rom-com from the early
90s that sees a man ask a gypsy for help
in love and receiving a love potion Ric
potion number nine sees morty asking
rick for a similar potion hey there’s no
dangers or anything or side effects
right what am i a hack go nuts Morty
it’s foolproof
unless he has the flu
however its effect soon go viral and
spiral out of control further when Rick
attempts a cure
Rick dubs the monsters that result from
these attempts Cronenberg’s this is in
reference to the numerous movies by
director David Cronenberg who is famed
for films involving grotesque mutations
and other body horror elements both
parodies however different they may be
blend together in a magnificently
bizarre way No I’m mr. crowbar and this
is my friend who is also a crowbar that
number one back to the future and Doctor
Who the entire show Jesus it’s not a
fucking dog you know what I am you don’t
know what I can do it’s cool read Doctor
Who in this motherfucker I could be a
clone I give me a hologram we give me
clones controlled by robots controlled
special headsets at the real
brick-and-mortar you’re wearing while
they’re fucking your mother if the idea
of Rick and Morty seems familiar it’s
for a good reason it’s largely based on
two giants of sci-fi firstly the
characters of Rick and Morty are
basically substitutes for Doc Brown and
Marty McFly in fact co-creator Justin
roiland once created an animation called
the real animated adventures of doc and
Marty which starred darker versions of
the Back to the Future characters in
addition despite not featuring
time-travel Rick and Morty is a parody
of Doctor Who with its lead duos
dimension-hopping outings resembling the
British sci-fi shows Adventures of the
week does it fly disappears then
reappears here you wouldn’t understand
when it’s loving parody of these greats
is it any wonder the show is so awesome
hundred times do you agree with our
