Great episode. Some of the Morty stuff was sad, but hilarious. "5 Mortys and a jumper cable."

I think
Doofus Rick
and
Evil Morty
are the related ones.

I know
Doofus Rick said he didn't have a family, but maybe there is another explanation.

That's what I thought as well.
If there has to be balance between the two, then obviously evil Morty's Rick should be... lacking
.

Great episode overall. SHOW ME THE MORTY!
 
Wait, could the main Morty
be a robot? Rick apparently came back 1 year ago to the family, yet he somehow has memories of Morty when he was a baby? Shouldn't he have been out of his life?

We literally only see
one shot of baby Morty and the rest is current Morty, with no middle period
, so I think he probably just bailed shortly after his birth.

Didn't Beth say in one of the earlier episodes that Rick had been out of her life for 30 years?
 
Just watched all episodes today.

What an awesome show.

Easily the best cartoon. Better than Bob's Burgers I would say.

edit: What's up with the weird eyes not being circles? Plot related or just style?
 
Is doofus rick from the shit eating universes from Rixty minutes?

This makes way too much sense.

I'm going to go completely off the rails and wager that evil Morty is from the same universe. Remember how Morty had to shove megaseeds up his ass in the pilot? Maybe evil Morty did the same thing in his reality, but in addition eating digested / fermented / whatever megaseeds (as shit-eaters would) gave him super-intelligence. I dunno, they'd probably be better at explaining it than I am.

Also, just throwing it out there: we don't get any specifics on just how shit the shit they eat is. Did Doofus Rick unintentionally make shit brownies for Jerry? They could taste like delicious ovenless brownies for all we know, but it could be adamantium shit compounds all the same.
 
Thinking about it ... is the eye-patch Morty Our Rick's original Morty?

Saw it posted else where but we see Rick's memories of baby Morty and seeing him grow up which made him tear up ... but that day apparently marked the "1 year" mark for Rick being back after being gone for much of Beth's life.

And on top of that he seems to know what can happen when a Morty gets too confident/ get's out of hand. And on top of ALL that this Morty was trying to frame our Rick for w/e reason.

I could see the case being made that this Rick lived with his family more so than the the other Ricks and he doesn't chill with them cause unlike them he prefers his family and cares about his Morty.

I think this is the best theory so far.

Especially with Rick's line about cocky morty's at the end, and the video of the morty in his memories,.

Also how do we know that Evil Morty is a robot like so many of you are saying and not just a genius Morty with cybernetic implants or something.
 
WOW. Awesome episode, as always, of course.

Though I'm not expecting us to come back to these plot threads for another episode or so.

How many episodes are left?

Also, I got to say, the soundtrack for this show is gold.

So evil Rick wanted normal Rick to find him, why? Because Evil Morty needed Normal Rick's memories for some reason. Lets assume Morty got what he wanted, why? what was so special about this Rick? Unless normal Rick and evil Morty are related in some way. And if normal rick abandoned evil Morty for some reason, this would make the surviving Evil morty hate him right? He would have evil Rick talk about how "Rick's don't care about Morty's" right?
 
Now I need to know why Summer had so much trouble finding a universe she existed in in Rixty Minutes. Seems like Beth and Jerry being together isn't an anomaly and there was a metric shittonne of Mortys, so why we got so few Summers?

Well it seemed like Beth and Jerry ended up getting together anyway in that one universe where she was a doctor and he was an actor. So maybe in a lot of universes it just takes those two longer to get together, so there are a lot of universes with Morty but not Summer.

Yeah, that could be the case. Morty would still be born but Summer wouldn't be born because well...

he also had a list of ricks from most evil to good(I think it was good), and there was only one rick in between them on the scale. Evil rick told him that rick was really weird, and then just brushed it off like he didn't matter.

Was it because that mightve been the Rick that got killed in the alternate universe that they decided to live in after they basically ruined their previous one? Since it seems like the ricks figured out all the murders happened in universes only they have been in before.

I dunno, it just seems to me that since they seemed to be really close to each other on the scale it would make sense for evil morty to have some sort of tabs on them. Maybe evil morty was just on a rick murdering spree since he felt no rick could care about a morty. And when he found regular Rick and Morty in a universe that belonged to a dead rick and morty he used that to his advantage. Im not super sure im gonna have to watch it again lol.
 
Anyone know what that song at the end with Patches McMorty was?

Weird considering we know at least three universes exist with her in it.
 
Okay, I'm rewatching the episode now and I'm seeing a few options here.

1) Evil Morty is actually Evil Rick. He somehow switched bodies, and the Morty inside a Rick is now the "Doofus Rick". He did it to blend in and hide from the counsel and built a Robot Rick for extra cover. It's also why Doofus needed to be "assigned" a Morty. Even their mannerisms and personalities line up this way. Why he needed memories, I can only guess.

2) Evil Morty belonged to mainline Rick. He lost him somehow and replaced him with the current guy. The loss hit him hard which is why Rick tears up when he sees the memories and actually cares about his current Morty. It'll also explain the "A cocky Morty" dialogue, and why this Rick got singled out.

God. Imagine reading all that with no context.

But with all that said, it looked like there were a number of Ricks more evil than both of them. Which is pretty funny.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Our Rick and Robo Rick weren't even at the end of the scale.
 
If Evil Morty was himself a genius, that might actually explain why Evil Rick stayed in a Morty-dome. One Rick can be camouflaged even from the Council of Ricks with just five Mortys, but maybe two Rick-level geniuses would need far more... Morty-waves to stay hidden.
 
has there ever been a moment before switching universes in rick potion #9 where we see the classification for that universe (the one that gets cronenberged)? rick says he's from dimension c-137, but it's probably super likely that that's not the one we came in on.

in fact, rick could have been dead for decades in the dimension we are introduced to in the pilot, with c-137 rick showing up out of the blue because of shit going down wherever he came from.

cyborg morty is probably related to c-137 rick, given how far he went to frame c-137 rick, and what his endgame was (stealing this particular rick's secrets). cyborg morty seems have access to a pretty high technology considering the police ricks were impressed with it. not sure what that all is building to, but it seems big.
 
I don't think Doofus Rick is related to Evil Morty, I totally buy the only reason he didn't have kids is that he's a doofus. He's definitely still a Rick though, obviously loves his science. Just a lot more open and caring than all those cruel and arrogant Rick's.
 
These brownies were made of poop:

So was dumb Rick's Morty the smart one that was controlling the robot. That would be the logical thing, one universe has a dumb Rick and smart Morty.

Hrmmm maybe. Few could have beens I feel.
 
Why would dumb Rick's Morty be a robot?

In fact, a lot of people seem to be gliding over the fact that evil Morty is a robot.

My bet is still on our Rick having built him.

I would have thought that was just an implant, not him being a full blown robot. Though in one reality they would be robots/cyborgs I guess.

I don't think so. He hides the wires back behind his own eye.

To quote myself a page ago:

My guess is that our Rick is from another universe where his Morty died. Then he tried to build a robot surrogate, because he missed his Morty. The robot surrogate Morty became too smart (cocky)/evil and Rick left him - causing robot/evil Morty to want to hunt/kill/frame our Rick.

OR somehow that robot Morty IS a replacement Morty that Rick gets after our Morty dies. Then add time-travel and wubulububuduuub!

This snippet from the show's intro leads me to think we'll have the story explained:
