[@thedarkknight2221]

Apparently the creators of the show said that this episode had been on the back burner for a long time. At least since season 3, but they couldn’t crack it til now. The thought of the writers struggling to figure out how to make a terminator style story around a snake planet and a flat space tire for over 4 years makes me die laughing. And now I need Snake Jazz as my ringtone.

[@utubekullanicisi]

I’m waiting for the Snake Jazz remix with Rick saying “Snake Jazz... Huh” right before the drop

Siri saying 'Playing the Beatles' is a joke, because the Beatles Core collections complete runtime is about 9 hours and 50 minutes long.

These smart Ass jokes go over my head, thank you commenter

I have never listened to all of the Beatles songs, but do have large song collections so assumed that's what the joke was about when it first aired. Is it really nearly 10 hours worth? Roadtrip!

The device Christopher Walkin gave him was the plot of the Adam Sandler movie “click”. A quasi-time travel movie.

This episode reveals that Rick could apparently do time travel stuff but also shows the reason why Rick don't always do it. Because time traveling is a "B*TCH", and fixing it is a big pain in the "ASS".

[@Pir-o]

yeah but cretors said many times that they never want to touch time travel. I guess terminator movies ware so bad that they changed their minds

[@Merilirem]

@@Pir-o They only wanted to avoid it for good reason. Its a stupid premise. Time travel is just stupid. Its like fate or good and evil, all stupid idea's.

Also Rick didn't choose to do time travel stuff. He was kind of forced into it by the snakes.

[@alphagamer9505]

Alternative reality is way lês confusing, none of that paradox bullshit

[@mordirit8727]

@@Pir-o smth that I love about this episode is that we have 2 kinds of time travel stories on it, the stupid one and the only kind that sort of works. The snakes went the route that Terminator uses, the absolutely stupid route where you can change the past and everything stops making sense after you barely begin to do it. Rick, on the other hand, did a closed time loop. He and Morty go back in time and give themselves the tools they needed, saving themselves the trouble of making the costume and inventing "snake time travel" only to later have to do those chores so they can go back in time and give them to themselves. So yeah, Rick always knew how to time travel, but he also knew that either it spirals out into absolute chaos that eventually gets the Time Cops to beat your ass, or there is no real point in doing it because it doesn't change anything, so he never did it. The snakes only went with the stupid "we can fix bad things from history" first glance, and destroyed themselves doing it. You do _not FUCK with time!_

[@renatoramos8834]

4:28, I also asked that. After watching again, the helmet had two 1 way holes for the fangs to get out and then go back in.

This episode was basically Dan Harmon dumping on time travel tropes

[@Yusuku]

The whole bit of snakes popping up to kill Hilter/prevent his death was exactly one of those tropes. Hilarious stuff, time travel stories at their core really never make any sense.

[@ethan2163]

@Scotman7 It's called satire and it's pretty entertaining.

Too bad he cant write original ideas anymore. All he can do is laugh on and then shamelessly steal movie ideas to make episodes. PS.. Last two seasons were mediocre except two three episodes. That guy sd spend writing stories than dumping on others.

[@ethan2163]

@@qwerty9398 I don't think season 3 was lackluster because of lack of ideas. I think it's because of lack of development and trying to change the Rick and Morty formula. Although it isn't as good as the first two seasons, I still really like season 4.

[@Kal824]

The creators said they would never do an episode that would involve Rick and Morty time traveling to change anything that involves their lives... Them time traveling was done on purpose to involve those time creatures that have the ability to fix time when it's broken, and Rick knew this. It wasn't too change anything they did to their lives, it was to prevent/undo anything the snakes would have done in their timeline or would be multiple timelines.

[@matthewletexier]

The hat really gives him away

[@OBsurdityTV]

The bar scene was my fave this season!

[@daryl.blakeofficialyoutube6295]

the Christopher Walken line was a reference to the Adam Sandler movie “Click” where he got a magic remote that he could use to control the world. Christopher Walken was the devil and gave it to him.

[@Itstwofourteen]

Not the Devil, but the Angel of Death (Morty = mortis = death)

[@Renkencen]

The way I see it, Slippy in that sentient snake planet was an "alien" to them and she breeded with that one with the glasses. Their brood (new word I learned from the episode) is a hybrid somehow lead either to their downfall or uprise (sentient snake made an evil AI that the brood hybrid become the snake resistance leader?). That in turn became a terminator at NOT at Slippy but at Morty cos it was his fault! I mean if they had killed Slippy in the past then Morty would had bought another snake so Morty was the prime target!

[@TheDivineHunger]

6:10 someone on the writing team knows quite a bit about infectious diseases in snakes.

[@antonbrakhage490]

I legitimately like Snake Jazz.

[@milesparker557]

I think the "playing the beatles" line was a reference to the beatles' discography being 10 hours long.

[@namecomingsoon9517]

This might’ve been my favorite episode of this season. Or at least second under the vat. I loved the snake world. I wish it would’ve been an episode just about that world and Slippy living there and having a family

[@wolhaiiik5387]

Judging from what Rick said, if they killed Slippey and undone the whole thing, their whole race would most likely perish. They might've targeted Rick and Morty cause they saw them as a potential threat or possible something they've done in the future. What I'm wondering is introducing time travel at an early age made so much mindless snakes have free access and abuse time travel, but it didn't stop from coming back ? Also if it didn't stop them cuz of some time travel rules or whatever, can we assume those 5D dudes can basically alter many timelines, or I guess they could cuz they interacted(and got hit) with multiple timelines at the same time.

[@smev3]

The snakes helmet has fang holes!

[@Novasigmia]

Instead of theme getting the snakes in trouble, they should have just went back to when they had a flat tire and threatened Morty to stay in the car like how Stewie threatened Brian and stewie of the past to go back in their time machine.

[@Dan_G.R.S.]

Those snake montages were spectacular, they completely gave up on logic this season

[@krzyszwojciech]

I love how it's Morty's fault that it's the episode about time travel ^_^

[@xerozeven]

Chicken or the egg, it's Rick's fault for (just a theory), hitting the snake's spaceship causing the surviving snake to think it was under attack so it struck back, could have easily been Rick who would have gotten bit while fixing the tire. Actually, scratch that...You are correct, Morty's fault for taking that snake back there...probably would have done it no matter who got bit.

[@krzyszwojciech]

@@xerozeven I was also alluding to more of a meta situation. The writers shied away from writing time travel stories, making it into a literal joke and putting it on the shelve in Rick's lab. So if it's gonna happen, it needs to be Morty's fault as Rick wouldn't go there [as if the writers wouldn't want to go there intentionally, but rather got wrapped up into this by the stupidity of a character that doesn't listen to Rick].

[@xerozeven]

@@krzyszwojciech ah, indeed and agree.

[@chartabona]

The snake space helmet had metal fangs covers on it.

[@MustangblueNYC]

The 80's Punk Rock Snake with a chainsaw is a reference to the arcade game Time Killers, the character is named, Rancid. A streetwise punk from New Chicago who carries a chainsaw. His forehead is marked with an X-shaped scar. It is possible his backstory was somewhat inspired from Charles Manson, who had carved a swastika into his forehead. So that was the perfect snake character to go back in time to try to kill Snake Hitler...

[@TheRussian13]

I like how Jerry was able to survive on the outside of the plane. Although you wouldn't be able to hang on the way Jerry did, it is possible to survive on the outside of a commercial flight like that. There was a pilot that was partially suckes out of the cockpit of a commercial airliner. He was pinned to the plane by the navigator and co-pilot holding his legs. The pilot was believed to be dead until a few hours later when they landed and he was breathing. He suffered from frostbite and lacerations, but recovered and went back to work.

[@TrueHavoc13]

Rough theory on the abe Lincoln to Hitler thing: so with Abe Lincoln around for the reconstruction of the south it would have possibly gone well enough to prevent the great depression in the 1930s due to economic prosperity. Since the great depression never happened and America was a stronger nation Japan might not have attacked pearl harbor leaving America without a reason to join the WW2 effort in Europe. Thus Hitler gains complete control of Europe and moves on to the rest of the world.

[@TrueHavoc13]

A simpler theory is that with Abe Lincoln alive he refused to compromise with the south during reconstruction keeping America in a constant state of civil war until world war 2 also making it so we could not assist on the European front.

[@BenDBeast]

Hitler still would have lost without American intervention
