Rick and Morty Theory: Why Rick is so Depressed
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Rick and Morty live in a universe that expands infinitely until worlds where everything is on the cob becomes commonplace. when rick finds himself in nested universes is it unreasonable to assume that he's discovered a higher power that looks over the Rick and Morty universe?
Aaaand i'm having another existential crisis today
sadistiic me every day
Don't think about it! Come watch TV!!
"Welcome to the club puwl"
we dont have miniverses....yet
Same I should stop watching these theories because I have exponential crisis's without even watching them so I should narrow them down😂
I think Rick's depressed because...
-His wife is dead
-He can't die
-He's surrounded by idiots
-Unity left him
-And he can't find that Szechuan sauce
*Edit in response to everyone saying "He can't die" I am aware that his own original body has been killed off several times and his own consciousness has been passed on to another body of Rick. By "He can't die" I meant that if what Space Penguin (the OP) is true, he can't die of his own volition. As in, he cannot end his own conscious existence.
Well he made that whole incident about his wife and child being murdered by a giant grenade thingy. She could've been murdered in an entirely different way or he may have accidentally killed her or something. Either way, I'm just thinking that she died in a horrible disaster because rick made a mistake, or someone who hates rick killed her for it.
There is no point of this video its just a show nothing else
He can die, there will just be alternate Ricks. Wonder what happens when they get too old though.
And Pencilvester is dead
@Jaden Reyes Rip Pencilvester
maybe we are the TV show and rick and morty is real life
Polish chap
Who knows
Polish chap this guy knows
Polish chap shut the fuck up
Polish chap seems legit
Maybe rick is our creator and we live in one of the small universes
The theory is that he knows he's in a cartoon.
Wait... HOLY SHIT!!! WE are ALL in a cartoon! OUR entire existence is simply to entertain God!!!!
War week haha
king clovis Then can I ask you who is the main character is it me writing this you reading what I'm saying or the minimum wage employee at the seven eleven?
The main character has always been Paris Hilton's chihuahua. Once it dies we're fucked
Damn man that is deeps as hell
that would be an interesting fourth wall breaking alternative ending, like rick sadly says goodbye and i love you to his family and us and then everything goes black
it would be a sad ending for the show, but an awesome one at the same time.
and instead of the theme song it would be just silence
although i'd like the show to end with rick being content, and happy with what he has and what he knows is going to happen.
Couey Prator yep, what if rick were to die in season 3 or at the end of the series he dies somehow and his family is left to contemplate the deep stuff he has taught/showed them
I seriously doubt theyd contemplate. If this show is realistic depiction of todays world where everything is superficial they'd be sad and then move on with their lives. We also wish to see Rick with happy ending only because we relate to his cynism and depression and seeing him get happy ending would comfort us and possibly give hope (not that we would be conciously aware of).
Nastia if you wanna be realistic no happy ending
Nerd_World i just contemplated possible endings idc which will happen , im pretty content with whatever.
"*Perhaps* we evolved to fulfill some meaningless task"?!? We *absolutely, 100%, definitely* evolved to fulfill the same meaningless task as every other living thing; maximizing the long-term survival of a bunch of random-looking strings of C's, G's, A's and T's (or the molecules those letters represent), that have spent a billion+ years learning how to fold proteins (that'd be us) that recreate more random-looking strings of C's, G's, A's and T's. We're each a minor cog in branching, competing series of huge, millenia-spanning machines that self-replicates for the sake of self-replication. Also, most of those branches are dead-ends. On the one hand, it's kinda depressing, but it *does* take the pressure off, so...
Naw, Dan Harman is just hella drunk.
and he likes to troll us
Honestly, I thought the show made it fairly clear he was like this since his wife died. I don't see why it needs some huge outside-the-box theory.
I mean, I already deal with existential depression, it's a thing. I don't need to think I'm in a cartoon to be like that.
Blissful ignorance is a blessing, but my thirst for knowledge got the better of me years ago. Questioning the unquestionable, looking for answers that I might not be ready for is a dangerous existence.
0:45 the quick brown fox serious shit best song ever omg i never knew that came from back in the future
That actually fits in perfectly with s03e04. Rick knew that the Vindicator episode would be a stereotypical superhero adventure that should only last two hours but would be dragged on because of drama; something much different than what the R&M audience enjoys, and which might drive them to boredom. Therefore, Druck Rick, fueled by alcohol and fear that this episode would endanger his life, decides, "Fuck this bullshit adventure. I'll gi*buuurp*ve them something to laugh at."
This is now a number 1 show that makes you question life
That's a sub earned right there.
I didn't see the video but to put it in 1 sentence :
He saw so many loved one's die that he doesn't care anymore
Mind-Blowing
Try a Mac flash'little bit of toast'?
what is the song at 10:56
Blip Stream by Kevin Macleod
So Rick basically broke the 4th wall between our universe and hisown
Great, now hes breaking the fourth wall and enters our world
My life could just be a TV show
Yeah! Finally someone got the idea of us being mini sh**s wandering around and someone watchjng us from above.
liked. subbed. commented.
great video, friend.
The Impossible task of Rick killing himself related too a Paradox? Pls Help
Why rick didn’t stayed at the corn planet?
Rick is depressed cause his wife died
In the Mulan Szechuan sauce episode they go kinda "back in time" and he sees how is wife died
the truth will set you free
Right after that robot that passes butter hangs his head in defeat and says "Oh my god" Rick replies with "Yeah. Welcome to the club, pal."
The Hiphopopotamus That could also be just plain old existential nihilism.
name of the episode?
emjaymj while both ideas hold water, it would be just like Rick to mean both
season 1 episode 9, Something Ricked This Way Comes
thx mate
this makes a lot of sense now, on the "you pass butter" scene rick says "welcome to the club pal" so he himself knows he has no higher purpose than to entertain us
Turbopotato3000 he said welcome to the club pal because beth wanted him to take the kids to school. Well im pretty sure its that
This makes sense, I didn't catch that when I watched it :D
What is my purpose bro..... Do you know your purpose.... The universe you live in doesn't have a higher version, stop relating me to god fuck god everyone should no that shit is used to manipulate human kind into doing their dirty work, slavery ... Capital greed will be the anguish of this timeline and what do the 7,6 billion people living poor or common do, they continue to feed these rich folk like the sheep they are... Stand up for what's right, use your heads for once and move forward...
Yeah, it also makes more sense for his suicide scene. I don't see Rick as the type of guy that would off himself over a chick. But this...this theory is so much better
thats why he is so blessed about someone is laughing over his jokes.
It's no wonder Rick's depressed, afterall, he hasn't found that damn Szechuan sauce yet
SS3Mehran that's my story arc Morty, for 9 seasons Morty...
SS3Mehran ikr
SS3Mehran ikr
Allu Madigan but that didn't happen
you know Beth is his kid, right?
But thats just a... wait wrong channel
TheRealShak awb haha no please, say the rest. I love Matpat.
Zombie FreK ...theory, a game theory.
film theory*
Gasterblastermasterofdisaters annnnd cut*
What if instead of his own existence, he's trying to keep his morty alive by training him to be the main character so Rick can die?
Wes Bartel dude that fucking genius!
Could be, but rick probably knows that it cannot be that way, as he and morty already are the main characters (rick being more relevant in a way than morty) but the way i see it is that rick actually does love morty and he keeps him alive because he believes that morty can be better and avoid the mistakes that he made, thus trying to make up through morty for leaving beth when she was young. This would fit with your theory, but since rick knows that he cannot be replaced i don´t believe that´s his motivation to keep morty alive
HOLY SHIT
Actually thats false, in the episode where Tiny Rick appears, he has lab with clones, that he was going to use so he could be kept alive.
teentitansmaster so, does it mean he *wants* to die, since he destroyed the other clones?
No matter how depressed, I'd rather be rick than fucking jerry...
Fucking jerry man..... fucking jerry
Matthew Willis so true, but rick it’s the best, I don’t see that depression as issue
Matthew Willis I wanna be summer, sh e doesn’t have to do all that weird shiz but knows ricks inventions and she’s his favorite
Yes, I would also not like to fuck Jerry.
Well although I agree with u more than half of you are living like jerry comfortabal and clueless and as much as u try to deny it you like your life and lifestyle and stepping out of your comfort zone would make you really scared and step right back in which makes most people sadly including myself a jerry
We all exist to pass the butter. Our butter being our genetic code.
So that's why it's called baby butter!
Son_0f_Ares so not butter but gravy?
want mt butter
oh my god...
Prometheus yep welcome to the club pal
Don't forget a very important part, the scene with the butter robot ends with:
"-what is my purpose?
-You pass butter.
-Oh my god...
-Yeah, welcome to the club pal"
This last part makes a totally new sense, if we take into account that Rick knows he has a purpose.
i think thats more akin to shity jobs.
imaginationLP I thought he was just referring to the existential crisis all humans go through
"-oh my god"
"-Welcome to the party"
***** You just told us exactly what was in the video.
***** Nah, he edited the comment.
I thought that rick was depressed because he knows there are infinite universes so no matter what he does nothing *really* changes
Lol it is just a show I don't know if you watch Futurama came out way before Rick and Morty but there's an episode when Fonzworth did everything discovered everything except the God particle and when he did he was depressed because he couldn't discover anything else lol
Thats what i thought
Rick understood one simple thing.
"The Universe is so big nothing in it matters."
Albert Moisan. #Nihilism
"... If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do."
Albert Moisan. actually a lot of things are matter
Really ? How and what ?
Albert Moisan. no, they are literally matter they have mass and occupy space, as in not energy. it was a bad play on words just ignore it
I have to admit, when I started watching this, I thought the premise that Rick is aware he's a cartoon character was ridiculous. But the video got me hooked, and, by the time I finished watching, I considered it plausible, and found the rest of the points made to be fascinating as well.
nrgins *rickdiculous
Same, I came in thinking this was going to be a video purely for views. Though after he explains the fourth wall breaks, it made it all pretty plausible. I was reminded of the scene ending season 1. "I have no idea what hes talking about." -Beth. That quote really hits it hard with the possibility that Rick knows that hes in a show, yet no one else around him does.
Yeah that's exactly how i felt.. and now am like.. Ohh he's watching us alright!
nrgins Wasn't it pretty obvious considering he has spoke directly to us after Season 1 finale?
Deadpool Not at all. It's just a device that some shows do. Doesn't really mean he's aware overall. Seemed like just a cute gimmick.
This messed up my mind so fucking much
Wink - 1112 Games foreal ever since I started watching the show I've been brain washed
he jus changed my way of thkng....
nick williams It is so depressing
Pradnya Mitesh I know broooo
I don't really get why it's depressing. I find it intriguing.
This whole thing reminds me of a Chuck Palahniuk quote; “All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.”
God should've already "taken me" in that case lol
I just sleep, watch yt, read fanfictions and draw all day. Well shit I can smell death even though I'm sick.
@@mattr4ss same except switch fanfics with videogames
That just blew my fuckin' mind
same
In reality, this theory it's basically the same thing that happens in "sophie's world", in which a character, a philosopher, knows he is a character into a book.
uh... spoiler alert maybe?? That WAS on my to read list..
My bad. But I still recommend the reading.
Lucas Ya I'll still read it, sounds like an awesome book
This really makes my head hurt thinking about why I exist
you pass the butter.
oh my god
F Clarke ih my god
TheJediPug _ there is no god
i wanted to say just that
10:55 a Rick
I'd rather know and be depressed than not and live comfortably
Gav Art being the main character so I could do what I want without dieing as long as I am funny. sounds great to me
Gav Art I feel like the answer to that question gives insight to who the person answering actually is in that scenario. Most Jerrys probably want to be Ricks and most Ricks probably want to be Jerrys. At least that's the way it is for me.
Gav Art Right, I'm already depressed. At least give me knowledge
N. E Wouldn't be as appealing if you are forced to do this forever. No death means no death, stuck repeating the same deaths occasionally, stuck seeing the same people in most cases, stuck eating the same foods... no escape.
yea. the guy who made this video said if we don't know we can make our own meaning. what benefit is that if it's not true? your happiness is based on a lie that you made up
So the meaning of our life may be just to entertain the God
Exactly
Yeah
What god?
the god* God with a capital G would mean the christian god, God. ._.
A bit naive to think a god would need to be entertain. A god woudn't have so simple mind to experience boredom.
This is actually _really_ damn good.
Paul Grant Rick and Morty is the leading philosophical show. There's these cartoons that dominate in a specific field: Steven Universe tops the charts in character depth/music/artistic design, Gravity Falls leads in mystery and speculation, Rick and Morty is the new philosophical revelation show, and The Amazing World of Gumball just "is" for the sake of existing. I'm not saying it's bad (it's pretty good), but I mean that it doesn't need a meaning; Gumball just exists to exist
i would like to add that SU leads in emotional awareness and communication
If Rick has a Portal gun that can transcend the multiverse, can't he go to the dimension where people are watching Rick and Morty? And like.. do Rick stuff?
Kellen Asebroek theoretically
he could go to a dimension were they watch rick and morty but they cant go to what would be our dimension, because he cant use his portal gun to go to the dimension he created
and vice versa
well actually yes his friend Mr poopy butthole was actually watching rick and morty remember which someone elses similar theory was that he knows hes a show that that proves it.
dimensions are not the same as universes, there are several dimension in a universe. universes are on a higher lvl than dimensions. the portal gun enables rick to go through dimension but not through universes. so i would say no, he cant
imagine how happy this guy is when he meets someone and finds out they like rick and morty
... oh would he?
Everyday is a curse in this timeline thanks to Justin Roland... I know where he got his ideas from as well
@@ricksanchez5595 Where?
I feel bad now because he cant realize
Imagine how single he is though
I would rather be rick than Jerry
Professor Pain
God, that be great.
There is a giant issue if everyone wanted to be a rick, that south park explains if everyone on your favorite show knew about the fourth wall it wouldn't be interesting to watch anymore
actually I would say that makes it more interesting just seeing how every character reacts and such
Professor Pain
I'd rather be Jerry. He has a loving wife, a great family, and he is complacent enough to enjoy life.
Same. I'd rather be Rick because I already have crippling depression.
What if our world is just a "war series" that got canceled after two seasons?
Daniel K ww3?
but there were many large wars before ww1 and ww2. Such as the Mongol Empire, the Persian Dynasty, etc
But the 'prequels' were much more "grand".
Season 3 will be the grand finale!
Trey Allison haha
nice way to end 2016: think about why I exist.
@Bradical same here....
Bradical EXISTENTAL CRISIS!!! YAY!
so it might be that: there is an universe with an alien race out there that has made a tinier universe that is the universe that contains the alien race that made us, humans and we have made a tv show that is called "rick and morty" that has humans in it who's destiny, past and everything they do is controlled by us, humans or more specifically the human that created "rick and morty" and we have controlled it so that it contains another microverse in ricks ufo-car and that universe contains another universe in a lab, and maybe that universe contains another universe the wasn't shown in the show and that universe might contain another universe that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe,that contains another universe etc.
i didn't get an existential crisis from this. i've seen worse
You pass butter
He's sooooooo depressed because he knows he's only a imaginary cartoon in someone else's depressed mind?
Woah 😳
you missed something that will prove your theory even more, in the episode where they watch multidimensional cable. rick knows when he is being watched and he knows he has to entertain. so he entertains the people by messing with the creator. he flips through the channels to force the creator to make up weird stuff on the fly. even making the remark that theres a improvisational feel about it. basically he didnt want to do anything so he opted out for sitting and making the creator work for it. when the creator finally created something he could get into he, he kept mentioning it out loud before he turn it on, im speaking of course about ball fondlers. when the creator threw jerry in there, he gave them the glasses so they could go make drama for us to watch away from him. its the same voice over on every channel, and the voice even admits they are just making stuff up.
freddy hylton that is incredible
freddy hylton dan harmon admitted to doing it as improv which was brilliant but yes i was waiting for him to bring this to light
11001 V YOUR SO RIGHT! and remember when mister pooie butthole entered his world and is an old friend of rick. the only one that was not a parasite.
I completely agree.
wow
Theoretically, every single rick and morty theory is true...
Anxious Smhuck Only if you assume the infinite Multiverse theory like it is explained in Rick and Morty is true.
green cat Do you?
Adam Moer I'm not sure..
green cat TWO DOTS!!
infinite universes equals infinite possibilities which means that in one universe a theory could be correct but not in the other
Problem: Szechuan sauce
*Problem Solved*
Mr. Meeseeks can doooo!
Mr. Meeseeks SZECHUAN SAUCE LOOK AT ME
Mr. Meeseeks LOOK AT ME!
I'm Pickle RICCCKKKKKK !
Mister meeseeks, I need to lose 20 pounds in 30 days, can you help me?
Oh come on. We all know that he's depressed because he doesn't have his Szechwan sauce.
Classical Penguin true
Classical Penguin oh come on we all know hes depressed because u copy comments
Gamblelini Mmmm yeah probably that too
Gamblelini but srsly I didn't. I just happened to have a popular opinion and decided to put it on the internet. That was obviously a mistake
Not anymore
If the show is ever cancelled, a good ending would be that Rick finds a way to exit from the Rick and Morty universe with Morty and is brought into ours with Rick discreetly being revealed as the creator of the show. This thought just calms me...
phoenix11301 then he lives only an average life in real life because his intelligence goes away when he comes to bigger place and he's happy
I love this idea. If you've every seen Dan Harmon talk you'll realise he's a lot like Rick in some of his mentality about the world.
If this theory is right and that's how the creators of the show are rolling, then a likely final episode would be Rick finally being able to end his own life. The instant he succeeds the image goes black and that's it. No credits (they play through the start of the episode rather than the end, and Rick realizes this and intuitively knows that it's finally the end, so he goes on a quest to end it all...basically following the path of mounting Deja Vu to guide him to the right end).
they come to our universe....hmm, this storyline could give us the rick and morty movie
What if our universe is a porno?
I hope they're not tuned to the channel I'm on then, cause they'd be really disappointed.
Sneaker Pimps - Blue Movie
+Adam unlike our universe where it sets unrealistic expectations, you fill that nice that makes viewers feel good about their prestations. Thanks Adam for taking a bullet for the universe
It would just be YOUR UNIverse not ours unless you include us then its OUR UNIverse
Wj11jam well i mean....yeah
I'd have to find the source(s), but there are numerous studies correlating intelligence with depression, anxiety, and a whole other slew of mental issues, and I think therein lies the dichotomy of Rick and Jerry. When you're highly intelligent, you realize and understand things on a level that people of average intelligence can't and/or don't attempt to. You also either figure out or agree with ways the world could be made better, but you are quickly disillusioned to any ideas it could be due to the people in power being of either average or lower intelligence, mired in ignorance and/or cognitive dissonance, greed, etc., and/or being wholly unwilling or unable to change (I don't want to suggest that all people of average or lower intelligence are unable to grasp what someone of a higher intellect suggests; I'm just speaking in general terms). Often this rift is resolved by becoming cynical, because even though you might have been an idealist once, you realize it doesn't matter what makes sense or what will make things better so long as there is no concerted effort to do so. There's also a loneliness inherent in high intellect as it's hard to find someone who can understand and relate to you.
I love the multiverse and nested universe ideas you brought up, since I've been seeing articles about such lately. Tying that together with Rick's Genre Savvy/awareness and fourth wall breaking is absolutely brilliant.
Its a mental illness according to those of lower intelligence
Not saying I'm smart or something, I have depression and It almost killed me so I can't agree with you but some sorrow is good
She's obviously watching the show.. thumbs up
I must say, as a person with 150 IQ (which you may not believe), I feel this emptiness too. I have 2 people that I sympathise with, but the rest of my friends are not as intelligent. I barely have someone that I could talk to about science or just math and feel good. Because other people are like 'Bro, you lost me. Can you repeat?'. It's just sad. I feel depressed almost everyday. Sure, I feel generally happy about my life, but I have no goal. So I try to fill the void with knowledge. And yes, higher intelligence may come with anxiety. I act differently with each person I talk to. I don't know if it's a multipersonality mental disease, but if I talk to 2 or more different people, I don't know how to react to each one and I panic. Then I get confused so I start swearing to feel some relief. In the end, I get to be a salty person (even arrogant to others) who doesn't know how to do basic things like communication. I am sorry for this long comment or if there are some grammatical mistakes - it's 1 a.m. when I'm writing this and I'm just 13 :|
Copilu Mirific that void is because of the set plans in humanity, your all split up in a way that doesn't make sense, you should be propelling each other towards perfection of devices.... Ideas should arise everyday and people should be able to help guide those possibilities to fact or bust
Holy shit!!! Now I'm depressed.
the moment when you realize it's basically existential nihilism...HOLY SHIT! I'm depressed AF
I have never understood this. I found it liberating as hell.
Why are you depressed? Until you "know" your absolute purpose, you can choose to have any purpose you like. Maybe your purpose is just to do whatever the fuck you want, which is the point of the show and why Morty says that very thing to his sister.
StayBassd there IS no purpose to anything. The thing is, since nothing matters, why give a fuck about fulfilling some sort of responsibility? Do what makes YOU happy
Yeah purpose and responsibility are chosen, they are not inherent.
And thhaaaaaatttssss the waaaay the news goes
periphery?

No... its " and that's the waaaayyyy thenewsgoes"
This is the smartest theory about the show
This Show nearly gave me crippeling Depression
Hey, thats pretty good.
Goodbyeeee Moonmen!~
DerTim me too sometimes haha

HAVE YOU SEEN BOJACK HORSEMAN?

sufyan osman a
lol liar..
;p
This theory was horrible..
Everyone knows Rick is depressed because he doesn't have his Szechuan sauce..
Mustache Productions Yes.
this was made before season 3 though...
twas a joke
He talks about him getting it back being his "series arc" though (even if it takes 9 seasons), implying that he knows he is in a show
I don't think this is the reason why he's so depressed. You said it yourself, he knows he's just for show. Which means he knows he's in a script, he knows he's not pulling his own strings. Even when he improvises, tries to make his own choices, or do actions without the thought of consequences, he knows that this is just.....the script. Hell, he might even know that the creators know that he knows this. I think what saddens him the most, is that he knows his "free" will, his thoughts, his life, his family, his adventures, his WORLD.......is nothing more than written paper.
ALPHA But he's a character...is it someone in real life just like Rick?
"morty is the relatable character" and I found Rick Sanchez relatable
Kaan Ra Everyone likes to think of themselves as a rick, but in reality, you're all fucking mortys.
Jitterbug Will not all to be accurate, but most of us
we are meow cats
Jitterbugg Will its true
I feel closer to Rick (maybe not by intelligence) but I'd really like to be a Jerry so thank you
Reminds me of the South Park episode "Cancelled"
There was an interview with George rr Martin once, and he said that so many people were constantly guessing and throwing theories about how game of thrones would end, a few people hit the nail right on the head.
Does he give that specific guy the satisfaction of being right 10 years later when it's complete,
or does he change the story so nobody is right.
I hope Dan and Justin don't watch these youtube theories, this kind of stuff could change what they had originally planned.
oooor maybe that is EXACTLY how they planned it, you can never know
The Fat Punisher I don't think they will. Unlike the creators of: LOST, Dan has a master plan. LOST was a shoe that didn't have a plan past the first 6 episodes a d it really sucked to try and follow and make sense of. R&M and GoT will be really gratifying to watch as a dedicated viewer because to creators actually know what they are doing and are going to see it through.
I hope so. but most content creators don't look at fan theories at all. so it's probably all good. I bet you there is some fan theory here on youtube with like 20 views nobody cares about and it's exactly what Dan and Justin are going to do.
The Fat Punisher in an interview with Dan harmond and Justin roiland they said this exact thing. That shortly after the show aired people on reddit were throwing out theories on Rick's back story and someone hit the nail on the head. if I recall correctly one of them said "I'm glad we didn't stick to that idea" or something along those lines. So I wouldn't be surprised if some theories do actually change some of the writing for Rick and Morty, which I agree would kind of suck. But then again it could also push them to come up with better ideas!
I wonder what Justin Roland thinks about these fan theories?
I imagine the creators try to avoid fan theories as much as possible in order to preserve the plot from outside influence.
Every mediocre fan thinks Evil Morty is Rick's OG Morty, but very few would think to bring him back by taking over the Citadel of Ricks.
Especially stupid shit like this, why do East Indians want the world to go back to believing bullshit man in the sky starring down on you can change the earth in a second but let's 50 million children get raped a day.... Fake fucking shit should be obvious
Dan Kweed he reads them i watched a video where he states that if they had a great idea he has too scrap it lol
I always thought evil morty was Rick Morty. As in a swapped universe where Morty is the smart one and Rick dumb. I'd say doofus rick, but he wasn't really retarded since he made the brownie machine for Jerry.
why is rick so depressed: he has depression. theory busted
nvm i wrote this before i watched the video, good theory mate
janeyVEVO I
I guess you're a jerry then
your old idea was still possible and likely
janeyVEVO *Crippling Depression*
I think ricks depressed because of his genius. I mean if you are a mad scientist who can travel through space, time and even other dimensions than eventually you will get bored. You have seen so much nothing surprises you any more.
Oecyteka he's not a mad scientist
Oecyteka he doesnt travel in time, he only travels through space and other dimensions, because one of the developers said time travel is too fucking complicated.
AdaMeeze dude he says it himself in season 3 episode 1 when he was in the brainalizer
I wish i could change me to not know anything
Saika OK. So time isn't relative to his position in space?
Beg to differ on this point.
Remember.. Alcoholics always win.
It's x o'clock somewhere... Am I right?
I always thought that I'm living in a TV show. Quite a fourth wall brake for you viewers out there, huh?
I've had that thought ever since I saw The Truman Show as a child.
lol same The Truman Show fuked me up as a kid. whenever i did something remotely funny i would in a direction where i thought a camera was and said "ba dum tshh". i was also afraid of mirrors, especially the ones in my bathroom.
Hype Shorts the emoji, along with the rest of American culture, is like the Teen Titans Go of some hypothetical God-TV show of the universe: it's dumb, it's insulting, yet it remains popular as ever! Why are hypothetical omnipotent beings so tasteless?
I thought about the possibility that the hypothetical people watching me are also just another piece of medium that are experienced by other hypothetical people. Thinking if every single incarnation of reality was just fiction to another reality.
The Crystal Crystals ugh
Teen Titans Go is like the Star Wars prequels
It is to not be talked about
Just
Ew
Teen Titans was great tho
not the time for another existential crisis now damnit
It's not a matter of "choosing between being a Jerry or a Rick", but a matter of understanding that we are all Jerry.
Documentary Heaven sounds like something Jerry would say 🙄
Wow man thats deep
Nerd_World Hell Yeah it is
no... no its not.
Not really, I feel like I'm living a movie all the time. Some kind of German drama where consciousness becomes an intangible dream.
I call it bullshit.
wubba lubba dub dub !!!
Perhaps Rick's universe is actually in MR.Poopybutthole, this would explain how he knows about the show
I think everyone already knows about this but just to sum the theory up: Rick is from a different universe than C-137 and his Morty is the one with the eyepatch in season 1. Rick and eyepatch Morty may have messed up their universe in which something similar to the Croninberg incident had happened. Instead of escaping with Morty, Rick portals alone to C-137 where there is no C-137 Rick, possibly because he disappeared or died. The original Rick then shows up at the Smith's house where Morty is already 14 years old, and Rick becomes part of C-137. Back to original Morty: after being left behind in a universe similar to that of the Croninbergs, Morty develops a hatred towards his Rick. Morty then somehow escapes from the original universe and sets out to find his Rick and eventually kill him. This is why we see pictures of Rick with baby Morty, even though he met C-137 Morty at age 14; because the baby is eyepatch Morty. Rick also explains that he has abandoned the Smith's previously and we see that this is probably true when Rick and C-137 Morty escape from the Croninberg universe and Rick acts like replacing himself in yet another universe is no big deal, while C-137 Morty is in shock.
That would explain the story about Beth and how she was abandoned.
We don't know for sure that Evil Morty is Rick's original Morty though?
And also yeah! It also helps explain why Rick has a memory of holding baby Morty, despite Beth saying Rick had abandoned her 6 years before he was born.
But why would he abandon his original morty. Im sorry if this is a stupid question, I just started watching a few days back
Doesn't answer how his universe ID is altered. Other Rick's scan Rick and say he's C137.
That alone undermines your entire 'theory' unless you can answer that incredibly important question.
I'm not sure if this is too intentional but Rick says multiple times that there is no God, even if the devil does exist (s1e9). Maybe he says this because his family won't comprehend this theory, or he knows how pointless existence is, actively dismissing this theory.
caped baldy i thought the same thing because in that one episode he says "help me god" and shit like that when trying to get back to earth
Mike Murphy he also says on the one where they go into Reubens body "this the day about our lord and saviour" or something like. This can suggest he does believe in God. I mean a smart person like him could believe that there is a greater power beyond everyones field of perception. Anyways this is what i think.
If my theory is wrong then maybe he just said that because of the meaning it has to the rest of the family but just not including him.
Passing butter isn't meaningless
laughing man has a point
welcome to the club
It's the duty of the butter-passing machine to define the meaning of its existence for itself. That's what Rick and Morty has taught me.
And this is why existentialists are pompous assholes.
But he's right. We live in a meaningless universe so meaning has to be created for oneself.
Ok let's start watching guys!
0:00-1:00 ok?
1:00-2:00 uhm...
2:00-3:00 wait what?
3:00 4:00 I don't get it..
4:00-5:00 getting deep bro...
5:00-6:00 OK OK OK dark... deep.. messed up.
6:00 7:00 that's getting crazy dark...
7:00-8:00 dude stop it
8:00-9:00 wait why am I living?
9:00-10:00 my childhood...
10:00-11:00 my heart is black...
11:00-12:00 Do I even have a heart anymore?
12:00-12:57 *pause* what did I just watch?
Ahaha yeah
when you pause a second after the video ends
I have a theory myself. As we see in numerous episodes, we notice Rick gets "riggity riggity wrecked", ALOT. He's never afraid to try new drugs or drink extremely irresponsibly. Because Rick is human, doing all these drugs and drinking all this alcohol could have possibly permanently crippled his dopamine system. Therefore he never enjoys anything and feels depressed when not getting wasted. :)
Nah, Rick is to smart to not know that doing space meth and constant drinking ARENT bad for him, he knows better and CHOOSES to numb his emotions, and when something breaks through his paper thin mental wall (that he's constructed to keep everyone he loves in c-137 thinking he doesn't give any fucks about anything), he suddenly gets a massive dose of all the emotions at once, hence the suicide attempts and drug abuse.
Eric Elmquist
Rick isn't always in a state of depression. Depression is characterised by pervasive anhedonia. Rick always has the time of his life by letting go and cranking his pleasure systems into overdrive with exciting adventures and genuine thoughts of fun--impossible for a clinically depressed person. The fact that we see him emotionally numb at times is due more to experience than a mental affliction.
Your forgetting though than in "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy" rick has EXTREMELY advanced cybernetics - everything inside him is made of something artificial. This probably means that liquor and drugs don't affect his hormones, so making the theory in the video probably correct
Eric Elmquist anyway birdman said the he got numb because of his depression, and maybe if his depression was because of that he would have already find a cure but I think he realized that there are things he doesn’t has in his control
Nyan Ferreras i know where youre going with it but depression doesnt just numb away by itself... it builds up
The micro-verse is in the battery, not the engine.
Dumb *cough* Name
I'm rick and I'm affended
legit swear he is depressed because his wife is dead, which would explain the alcoholism and the don't give a fuck attitude. just an opinion :)
сложна
Mj William you're half right.
impossible bc he left his wife as stated in diff episodes
Mj William didnt rick himself day that the whole wife thing was a lie
mxrgzz That doesn't take into the account that there are an infinite amount of realities and Rick's, it's likely that this Rick was not the one to leave his daughter.
Wow, it's a bold theory but you made such a convincing case, I'm deeply impressed.
That gives so may things a new meaning, like, I can't watch the Pickle Rick episode the same way now. He turned himself into a pickle... because an episode about all of them just going to therapy would be too boring? Damn...
holy shit...makes me feel kinda guilty that I love watching this show so much...
which on second thought does not make any sense, since it's all fictional...or is it?
StephThePenguin that is actually really clever lol
StephThePenguin lol,long b n99009i
StephThePenguin i go to therapy, it's not boring
So what's the connection when Rick blurts out that there is no god?
Trying to piss him off enough to the point that his god gives up and kills him I guess.
If the theory is true Rick knows there's no god, only creators and observers. The narrator of this video is the one saying creators are gods(gods by definition are omnipotent and omniscient) which is retarded since he had to enter the microverse to know what the hell they were doing.
Whenever Rick knows somethings screwed up he prays to God and then everything works out. Then he comes back and says There is no God Fuck you God meaning that he knows that there is a God and he just doesent want to accept it.
I found that whole bit hilarious because it's true to most humans, even atheists in dire life or death circumstances will start praying to God and making bargains to go to church if they make it out alive, then they do and never fulfill those promises.
atheist don't belief god but fear ghost
holy shit thats deep
Yo, my cousin just got out of jail. He really be eating them deep dish pizza tho. Word man, have a blessed day.
+Jon 👍👍
that means mr poopybutthole knows about the show too
Rick isn't depressed because of this. He is depressed because he is aware that the universe has no meaning and he can do anything he wants.
-You see this because all of his actions try to distract himself from reality. Him trying to find love in Unity, adventures with Morty, ect.
-Also, you see that his hatred and rebellion against government stems from his ideology of not wanting to serve anyone. So he wouldn't want to serve this "god" to keep his universe alive.
I don't like this theory. Although it makes sense, I think it should stay a theory and I hope it's not really what the show is. I don't want this to be real because it kind of defeats Rick's character. If he knew there was a "god" then he would stay ok fuck it destroy my universe. Rick doesn't serve anyone and he knows everything about the Universe and that there isn't any meaning. That's why he's depressed.
i think obviously his wife and his friends that were killed along his life made him depressed maybe. he doesn't give a fuck anymore but about beth and his grandkids cause he doesn't want to lose loved ones anymore. he's so tired of the shit that happened to him that he doesn't give a fuck anymore. he just doesn't want want anything to happen to his grandkids and beth though.
If there is a sentience that is Rick Sanchez, then it exists as a facet of his voice actor. So if we have a Higher reality above us, then we too have a type of oversoul that knows it's participating in fractalizing itself to portray separate individualities. Like playing the video game Roy more than once. Through a veil of consciousness.
i have a theory.. rick may have screwed up his morty or like he died or smth. But he traveled to an alternate reality where that "rick" had left his family and when he came on the door step after "20" years of being gone he just shows up that's why he has memorys of another morty (not c-137)
Dead meme this makes more sense, if our rick never left his family but instead they perished. Maybe this is the origin of evil morty?
Game Theorists much?
Suicidal Dreams yea i just watched his new film theory which is mostly this haha, i swear i wrote that comment before
That Morty is Evil Morty (thx matpat)
I think people are over thinking it maybe he just visited baby mort without his daughter knowing.
"Ignorance is Bliss"
Ignorance it’s jerry
Yeah. well guess what? It also means you're ignorant. - Rick Sanchez
Rick's depressed because season *[blech]* 3 hasn't start yet BIIIIITTTTCCCCHHHHH!!!!!
Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!!!!!
thesuicidefox birdperson NOOOOO
Well.....
But not really...
thesuicidefox k
i thought he was depressed because he has to pretend like he doesnt care about his family or anyone he loves, for example he broke up with unity. he acted like he didnt care at all but he really did care and it devastated him to the point where he tried to commit suicide while killing all other ricks in other dimensions.
no one notices rick's depression and suicide attempt which is the saddest part
he has to pretend like he doesnt care about his family so that people wont hold them hostage or try and hurt them because of the universe being a dangerous place when one of the rick of citadel had summer as a hostage
I have to say....you're very does blow my mind....... I mean it makes so much sense. But I always had a theory that he was cynical and depressed was because he suffered from the same problem most scientists do when they finally solve all of the mysteries. Like you said he is a scientist and he wants to know how the universe works.... But what happens when you finally learn everything there is no more challenges there's no more mysteries..... even worse you discover that maybe everything to the universe is just useless..... Love.... Family....friendship..... There's just no point to exist. I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow has absolute evidence that there is no God since he talks like a atheist.... I guess the lesson he teaches us is sometimes knowing all the answers doesn't make you happy....
I'm not really impressed by the theory. Daydreaming about the writers incorporating it makes the experience less enjoyable for me. I think Space Penguins video execution and technique are spectacular but the theory itself: "what if it's all a dream"... ..."and what if he knows it's a dream" does not blow my mind. It's just not a Rick and Morty caliber idea.
As for knowing all the answers: Keep pushing that rock up that hill and when it rolls down take a quantum of solace in knowing it was going to do that as you push it up again.
yeah but in the one about splitting time, he prays to god. something im surprised dude didn't point out. meaning he knows hes being watched, and its his constant insulting of it that's keeping him alive. this was a good theory, and totally believable.
The theory isn't that its a dream. It is that Rick is aware he is a character in a TV show. In family guy, south park, american dad etc you are watching a show where people "live" like we do. In Rick and Morty you are watching a show where one of the characters is aware that they are in a show and have to entertain us otherwise their show, and by extension their existence, will be cancelled if they don't.
At the end of that episode he goes "Screw God, I wanna live".
Le Roux Van der Vyver whether or not Rick's reality is a dream or a temporary sub-reality that will disappear when it ceases to be entertaining seems kind of splitting hairs to me. But if you like the theory that's great. It just doesn't work for me.
"Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's going to die, come watch TV." :)
You know too much, your show will be cancelled shortly.
How come you have better theories than a DEDICATED THEORY CHANNEL!?
Great Video.
We all start off as a Gerry, but the moment we realise the difference, we all have little choice but to become Ricks.
Kainlarsen Some people do choose to stay more like Jerry though and ignore the negatives around them as they try to simply be happy
OK so your post has been edited and you still didn't spot your spelling error, "Gerry" convert that into "Jerry". You cannot act all smart and use your grammar skills when you cannot spell a simple name relating to "Jerry". So you're saying that we all start off as a Jerry, Rick and Jerry aren't related so how is this possible? If they shared the same blood and a closer DNA then it would make more sense, but now you're talking about the little choice of us becoming Ricks? We have a choice to become a Rick, if we want to become a Rick then all I can say is for you to go back to science and actually learn something let alone this situation you know nothing.
But jerrys shouldn't run the world. Ricks should. Intelligence needs to be prioritized when it comes to leadership roles
...but Rick over-complicates EVERYTHING and is utterly incapable of realizing what Jerry knows implicitly: Things are exactly as bad as you think they are and you CHOOSE happiness.
The red or blue pill
first fan theory I haven't despised and wished ill because of
Pretty good theory, gotta say.
