[@TheRandompaint]

This aired the same weekend as one of the largest jewel heists ever (over 1 billion stolen)

[@BlaikeMcG]

TheRandompaint The heist happened Monday morning at 4:58am in Germany. Depending on where you live in North America the heist took place as the episode was airing.....

The origami is also a "money heist" reference. As is the whole Morty selling a heist script to Netflix thing.

[@TheRealBlackCat]

I love that ahow

[@Laratasincola]

The origami can also be a reference to oceans 12 where the silver fox leaves them a origami fox

[@shot4rz]

No its not, moneyheist came out after this episode

[@Harzberg]

@@shot4rz eehm, no?

[@Pielover00000]

The character, key catcher, literally only catches a key in the hotel scene.

[@janeilnold5863]

The post-credits scene of this episode really set a mood...like there really IS some kind of storm coming plot-wise. Also seeing Morty like that at the end of the episode makes it seem like there's something not right with him. I mean, yeah, he just lost all his motivation for his Netflix pitch, but him not talking to Rick or even paying attention. It's like he's lost motivation for adventuring with his grandpa too because he feels like that's his only role now. You want evil Mortys. Because I feel that's how you get evil Mortys!

[@BOOGiNS]

Morty died in this episode. Rick had to kill him because he left the ointment on too long. Who knows what Morty that one is

[@ZebbeCali]

For real, I'm thinking this Morty IS Evil Morty. Or he's being influenced by Evil Morty, Machiavelli style.

[@nealthedeal1]

Morty already lost the plot near the end saying he wasn't interested in dreams like selling his story to Netflix and declares he will just go along with whatever rick does forever. Then Rick breaks the 4th wall and rhetorically replies if that's what you want. Morty and everyone watching feel the same. we're all just waiting for the next adventure. The Rubik's cube, could be Morty trying to improve his intellect so, Ooowee. The classic heist genre ending that hints at a sequel because they pulled it off so well. Special Ricktim's Morty. A Christmas special with Scrooge and little Tim a Christmas Carol theme, could be a dark one, for the irony fans.

[@paradoxequinox4104]

Welp, hope your ready to be disappointed cause thats pretty much all they do when they set stuff up.

[@bemore2886]

This isnt even our rick it's the rick with poopy butthole universe

[@hughjanus379]

Has no one realized that when Randotron shot Rick and the others, Mr. Poopybutthole got shot in the same place where Beth shot him. He was also flung back the same way he did.

[@treyjetson5320]

probably saved money by using old animation.

[@Mad_Leroy]

“And the name’s GLAAR!!!” Funniest line of the episode😂😂😂

[@xfhEgo]

This hole episode just took a dump on now you see me 1 and 2

[@mr_majikku7050]

This was easily my favorite episode this whole season! I mean like, Rick did all that just so Morty would stop talking about his script.

[@bendover7016]

When Rick takes out the assimilation gas, he says, "Whose kidneys are these?". This is a callback to lawnmower dog. Did you notice that

[@christopherranch4728]

Anyone else notice Rick has no drool this episode?

[@dinsceravs2374]

I did.Weird.Was the bastard sober or what?

[@janeilnold5863]

He was too focused on keeping Morty from working on his Netflix series pitch to even drink...damn.

The origami horse could also be a reference to Ocean’s 12 and Night Fox sometimes leaving a figurine.

I like how at the end, Morty twists the exact same face of the Rubik's Cube a solid 15 times (twisting the same face 4 times is the same thing as not twisting it at all)

[@johnnyrico7228]

Very true considering Morty was just playing with the Rubik's

[@ZebbeCali]

It's like Morty is about to solve the cube and unlock some part of his mind. Also don't forget there's a whole room of memories that our Morty doesn't have. Who knows why Rick removed certain memories. Remember, the different dimensions, are like our own, but with just ONE different detail. Which means there's lots of dimensions where Morty turns evil.

[@johnv5827]

@@ZebbeCali yup I gotta say I think our morty is special somehow. He's developing evil tendencies himself(not the only morty to do this though) but he's also showing intelligence(again not the only morty to do this). However, our morty does seem to be more assertive than others.

Thanks for this. I watched a similar video from screenrant and they literally missed EVERYTHING

[@jaustill237]

Classic ScreenRant.

[@cincityprod]

I believe Heist-a-Tron is a reference to Ultron and how he learned from Tony Stark.

[@Slaanesh2777]

his planet destroying ship is even named Tony lol

[@cincityprod]

Heist-A-Tron is also has the same planet stealing penchant that Brainiac has.

[@nathanhoggard8358]

You missed one of the attendees! On the left side of the screen when we get a wide angle after Rick and Morty portal in, you can see the elderly couple at the couples therapy Beth and Jerry attend in "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez" (S02 E07). You can see them in the video at 2:13.

[@32ekoc]

It seems like the reason Knightley got killed was because his skeleton was all gold, or gold plated like Wolverine's skeleton is, that's why he got "heisted".

[@domclegg1225]

THE "HE'S LEARNING SCENE" WHERE THE ROBOT REPEATS WHAT RICK SAYS IS A DIRECT REFERENCE TO THE DOCTOR WHO EPISODE "Midnight" STARRING DAVID TENNANT I CANT HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE THIS!!

[@juscusimkool8409]

Bruh the second alien to get assimilated to the heist crew in the heist con line is the other doctor from interdimensional cable 2

[@Wisdomandwine]

how did you miss "big pluto" being a nod to disney by it having the mickey ears?

[@konstantindunnzlaff1291]

Also uranus with a bite taken out of it with the "eating ass" meme accredited to millenials.

[@Chaelsonen]

"coat rip off dr strange" a nod to dr strange NO WAY REALLY?

[@Guyettejohn]

LOLLLLL

[@tobysinbad]

I think Glar is a reference to Glottis, the film noir bar pianist/ demon mechanic in the video game Grim Fandango, who has a similar hulking stature/name/career

[@AdamPFarnsworth]

Best Rogue One rewatch ever!

[@Renegadegamer2001]

You forgot two joke that could be a funny Easter egg: Knightly looks like DC's Sinestro even having yellow Heistatron's planet collection is similar to Braniacs miniature worlds collection.

[@ZebbeCali]

I'm telling you, we are watching evil morty. He's waaaay too different lately. Even in the post credits scene, his eyes are low like he's evil morty. Maybe even....becoming evil Morty? Remember he totally let Rick die this season. Is Rick still removing his more gruesome memories? Maybe that's why he removes them, so morty won't turn evil, and because he hasn't been doing so lately, Morty is slowly going to the dark side.

[@deadman3750]

I thot he was on the citadel or ur saying this could be a different evil morty

[@ZebbeCali]

Victor Valdez thing is, we don't know when that happened relative to canon. They won't use time as a plot device, they've said, but the canon could serve that function. Perhaps the episodes are mixed up, in an inconsistent way. Perhaps influencing Morty's to his side by influencing events across the finite curve, is Evil Morty's plan. Or perhaps it IS Evil Morty. Episode three of this season introduced heists happening before, during, and after other heists. It's possible we've seen Evil Morty doing any number of things right in front of us, hiding in plain site. Any Morty we've seen could be Evil Morty. The only thing we know is we are always with the Rickest Rick. Plus Rick is often very careless with his Morty, a tragic flaw of most Ricks.

[@liamsbeterthancharli]

Anyone else notice that when nightly sets the heist it's 60% putting the crew together and 40% revealing it's already happened

[@imbtyler]

The official synopsis for Claw and Hoarder refers to Morty getting a dragon, broh.

[@GoddoDoggo]

Doesn't mean it's not a murder mystery, otherwise it wouldn't be a Law and Order joke.

[@agold7205]

I just love that Mr poopybutthole is back and healthy

[@sam_gold1427]

Imma say first but u already know someone got here quicker

[@Sgtspork]

I think "Driver with Asperger's" refers more to "Driver" with Ryan Gosling than "Baby Driver" as that was a very popular theory about his character... tho it could be a general nod to both as a kind of trope overall...

[@bastian5065]

No

[@FreeAimDog]

lmao the part where the ball hits rick and does nothing but bounces off gets me every time

at 5:21 I love the parodi on the painting of vermeer "melkmeisje" with a ninja turtle Leonardo

[@adzinco6916]

The greatest heist in real life just took place in Germany resulting in over a BILLLION dollars in gems stolen. Boom.... WDRD, what did Rick do?

[@Majlo2L8]

3:53 Trucula could also be a reference to Dragula from The Munsters.

[@ediaz1989]

He also has the same jacket as Freddy Mercury yellow leather and white pants with the red stripe

[@henrycollings8186]

I’m pretty sure Uranus having a bite out of it is a reference to Gravity Falls where Bill takes a bite out of a planet during his attempt to get Stanford to join his crew.

[@STAXXX313]

[@ramonfilipe8811]

On the "Planet Shell" you jump "Big Pluto" that has the form of Mickey head. A joke about the size of planet Pluto in addition with the dog reference after you see the 'ears'

[@BiggsG]

Knightley is wearing Freddie Mercury's outfit from Queen's 1986 performance at Wembley and also holding a mic without the stand which is a trademark of Freddie's. Also Freddie is a LEGEND

[@IToldYou2DredNot]

I think that at some point during this episode, probably just after morty left the netflix building, he was kidnapped and replaced by evil morty, i think that's the storm and the big twist on the horizon. And what better time to set it up than in an episode about twists

DredNot I think it was before even that.

Planet Heist, Doctor Who David Tennant run. Daleks took a lot of planets.

[@turtleisland1940]

3dark7 isnt the whole episode a reference to time *heist*(same name as company) and the doctor plans the whole heist, like rick planned this

[@GippyHappy]

Another small detail is Mr. Poopybutthole's cattle auction says "No bull" and "Heifers only" which I thought was funny Also Knightly is clearly based on Freddie Mercury for some reason

[@chrisvasko16]

The joke with the tusks on the white board is Tuskla coil, like the well known device the Tesla coil... not it being a flux capacitor inspiration for his inventions

[@KenLinx]

All I got from the after-credits scene is "a storm is coming". Shit is probably gonna go down.

[@rawsch9745]

Dragula is in my opinion more a reference to Rob Zombies Song Dragula in which he is driving his vehicle called Dragula

[@sephiom559]

Other easter egg (maybe) : When the ship explodes in the background, it looks a lot like the Death Star explosion in the original Star Wars.

[@1SeniorSmurf]

A very common theme this season is that morty is getting smarter, less dependent on rick, resentful of rick, and more cynical... a cocky morty is trouble

[@joshuakuhlers4590]

The dressing up as police story could also be inspired by Tony Stark from Endgame dressing up as a swat officer to get the tesseract.

[@Iamjohi]

That alien in the booth at heis con could be a reference to Roz from Monsters inc

[@calvinjoseph3803]

The planet Big Pluto is probably a reference to Pluto the dog from Disney. It has a Mickey shape with Pluto’s colors

[@patrickkiboma]

[@wyatttownsend6647]

Was the Elon musk in the kitchen part a reference to his cameo in The Big Bang theory?

[@realFoxdi]

I think the coming storm is Evil Morty and the twist will be that Rick ( rickest Rick) is his Rick.

[@GerardinhoLP]

Zipple is a Tupac reference - the planet has a bandana tied with the knot in the front. Big Pluto is a Disney reference - the planets form the logo and "Pluto" is Mickey's dog. And the last one could mean Scooby Doo, which in a way has plot twists similar to those in heist movies.

[@OlympianHeroes]

The Crystal Skull of Horowitz might be a reference to Anthony Horowitz, writer of the Alex Rider books
