In the third episode of Season 8, titled “The Rick, The Mort, and the Ugly,” there’s a witty nod to an earlier joke hidden within the post-credits sequence. The plot revolves around various Morty duplicates enjoying tranquil lives in their hometown, but it’s disrupted when Rick’s clones, working on rebuilding the Citadel, abduct them and compel them into labor. A character known as Hillbilly Rick intervenes to save the Mortys. During his rescue mission, a humorous moment occurs that is later unexpectedly referenced in a clever way during the closing scene. Here’s a breakdown of this amusing connection.
Rick & Morty Season 8 Episode 3 post-credits scene features brawling dice
In Episode 3 of Rick & Morty Season 8, three peculiar Ricks engage in an unusual contest. Before a hillbilly-like Rick intervenes to instigate a brawl with the replicas, they’re playing a game. The game utilizes two dice that transform into combatants once rolled, complete with limbs for fighting. When one die defeats another, it enrages Rick, who exclaims, “Blimey, that’s not a six!
In a heated moment, he hurls a bottle which Hillbilly Rick effortlessly catches, adding a touch of humor to the situation. Later on, this incident is subtly referenced later in the show. As the credits roll, the debris clears to reveal two dice emerging, symbolizing the destruction of Rick’s clones and their compound. They enjoy a tranquil sunset together, suggesting a harmonious conclusion. However, the peace is short-lived as the dice resume their squabbles once more, echoing an earlier joke from the episode.
Though a light-hearted reference, the situation echoes the somber finale of the initial episode, where Hillbilly Rick selflessly perishes to save the Mortys. Instead of Doc Morty, it’s Arcade Morty who remains behind as a tribute to the fallen heroes. This scene seems to be an emotional conclusion until it is disrupted by the primary Morty. He and Rick accuse Arcade Morty for the chaos and refuse to listen to his side of the story. They eventually depart after discovering the fidget spinner.
In the original and the extra scene, though they depict distinct events, they both exhibit a comparable transition in mood. Initially, it seems like a tranquil or heartfelt conclusion, but suddenly, they introduce an unforeseen instance of tension.
