RICK AND MORTY: 36 Best Hidden Jokes and References You Missed In Season 1

[@peterbarlow7781]

I love that the crack from when the house teleported back is still there many seasons later 😂

The attention to detail is so great ya gotta respect it

[@uriah9638]

"Many"

[@miguelheat]

Same here, but, "many"... there's 4 seasons total so far. I hope youre right many seasons from now

[@syl3r]

The final season showed the central finite curve which ensures that every universe they can travel to is a universe where Rick is the smartest man in it. The fact that the gravity falls universe was connected means there's actually a Rick and Morty somewhere in the world of gravity falls.

[@adam19890911]

Yeah, and the portal is green not gold. Like outside of the curve.

[@Masanimax]

correct, the smith/sanchez family lives in washington, somewhere outside of seattle. and gravity falls takes place in oregon, so technically they are not too far apart.

[@caged0902]

They should do a movie together. Call it Rick falling in gravity with Morty

[@matthicksxx]

I noticed another subtle detail in “Lawnmower Dog.” When Rick frees Summer, Beth, and Jerry from their dog chains (right before Summer hugs Morty), Rick skips over Jerry, freeing him last, and we can see a look of disappointment on Jerry’s face. This was hard to describe, but a nice detail to catch while watching

[@jayantgera8091]

man you guys watch it at 0.5x ?

[@itisjustacomment]

Yeah saw that on another you tube video

[@colonel_bootycakes]

Is this a detail or just part of the show?

[@MrDarling1502]

Rick probably wanted Morty to burry his own body to instill some nihilism because he could have just used a portal to dump them in space or something instead of the backyard

[@denissmith7671]

Nice catch

[@cynthiasmith2459]

Yeah it does seem a bit twisted

[@gamehex4775]

[@cameronvincent]

No it’s because they needed that ricks portal gun in a later episode

[@dvs.4everfugitive402]

I don't know why but the gravity falls thing for some reason just made my heart melt I thought that was so cute the homage to gravity falls kudos Rick and Morty you guys never cease to amaze entertain excite and even yet sometimes on my heart thank you guys

[@bayleighdrewitt6096]

you can also see a dipper and mable morty in the citadel of ricks. the character early in the video with rainbow suspenders is also i link to gravity falls as justin and alex wanted that character to be in gravity falls, rick and morty and another show but alex wasnt able to add the character. the numerals on his chest wouldve been a secret message

[@halliex7595]

[@unknownbrokenrobot8423]

Yeah I came to say the same thing, a carton of milk at a high school is not a hidden easter egg just because Rick talked about kids drinking milk in schools.

Someone missing from a photo never used to be considered "unusual", because, unless one had a VERY expensive camera (and not the usual kind of cheap 35 mm or 110s that people generally had), _someone_ had to be holding the camera to take the picture. She's there, but just behind the camera.

[@kirk5649]

Yeah i thought the same thing

[@YouDontTellMeITellU]

Yeah I didn't understand why that was on this list

[@uglymusubi507]

"Very expensive camera"? I am pretty sure even potatoes had a self timer function around that time. I guess you saw it as a opportunity to show off your knowledge of cameras LOL. But yeah I agree, she was likely the one that took the photo.

[@outbackAus260]

It could also be a play on the story that in a majority of the other universes Summer was aborted

[@colonel_bootycakes]

Or like most teenagers, she just didn't want to be in the photo. This could be a reference to the parasite episode when summer says no teenager has photos of their family.

Is that the same house Gene falls off the roof when they restart time? Because that's a detail that some might have actually missed, unlike most of these examples.

[@canoporksoda4418]

Adding on with the gravity falls bit, in the backround when Rick and morty are being transported to other ricks there’s a dipper morty and a Mabel morty

can't believe Gamespot universe just noticed all of these this year and made a video about it 🤣🤣🤣

He didn't just notice, they are copied from other videos to the letter. All have been done at least 50 times the majority years ago..

[@martinmbae4356]

Jerry Simulation at 5:17 appears to have a lot of errors because the leader of Zigerions ordered that the CPU power handling his simulation be cut down to 5% so that more CPU power will be used to make the simulation look real for Rick since he was their target. He gives the orders at Ssn 1 episode 4 at minute 4 and 20 secs. That explains why for the rest of the episode, Jerry simulation has lots of glitches.

[@tdward23]

I think that suspenders guy has a backstory in gravity falls or something....

[@quantumleaper]

He was going to be in Gravity Falls but didn't make the cut. He was going to be in another show also but I am not sure what happened there.

[@krzyszwojciech]

@@quantumleaper Roiland said he talked to two other writers - wouldn't it be cool if they all put the same character to all of their separate projects. Supposedly they all agreed, but only Roiland did it. I don't remember what the third show was supposed to be, but I'm not sure if in the end it was even produced.

[@melissalee2153]

3:00 that #7 guy with goofy hair and rainbow suspenders has roman numerals in the stitchings of the football on his shirt. In the 5 hour long Roiland and Hirsch episode of the H3 Podcast, Roiland revealed that this was going to be one third of a message spread across R&M, Gravity Falls and another show that was never picked up, pitched by another friend of theirs. Hirsch thought Roiland was just joking, as they were all drunk, so the Gravity Falls portion was never included. The message was intended to be "confidence", as anyone insane enough to figure it out clearly needed encouragement in their life.

In season four Rick says he doesn't believe in time travel and in his garage he has a box labeled TIME TRAVEL STUFF

[@lucky112]

he just time traveled in episode 8 of season 5 (this current season)... but that kinda shows how much he actually loves Bird Person that he would time travel even though he doesn't believe in it or was he just in memories in the past which could be time travel because going to the past is really just going to the memorized consciousness of the universe which would be God because God is at the beginning and the end right so therefore God is..........WAIT!!!!!!!!!...........we..........are..........all...........the........memories..........of..........GOD........OMG!!!!!!!

I think the guy in the lab coat is Dr. Weird? It looks like he’s wearing the hairarium. He was the scientist guy who created the Aquateen Hunger Force and Rabbot. He also made Chicken Bittle, Moth Monster Man, Walter Melon, and the Nine-Layer Bean Burrito.

You might want to take another look at #7. Its not that they were reusing the skin cause it was cheaper. That character was specifically designed and put in as an easter egg to match up with gravity falls and a third show that was never created. Look closely at the football on his shirt. You'll notice roman numerals that are part of an encrypted message.

Theory. Rick and Morty didn't chronenberg their own reality he switched with a different Rick and let the Rick complete the garage sized bomb to blow up that's why it was leaking.
