, which makes it really weird that Rick would bring Jerry along on an adventure in the upcoming Season 3 episode, titled “The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy.” It’s so weird, in fact, that the “Rick” that rips Jerry out of bed for a fun trip probably isn’t even Rick at all.
Rick once explicitly told Jerry, “I don’t give a fuck what you think!” He’s never pretended to like the guy, and Rick gleefully took credit for dismantling Beth and Jerry’s marriage in the Season 3 premiere. Rick’s clearly not the type to do something nice for Jerry, but his stated explanation for why he’s taking Jerry along doesn’t pass the smell test either.
Rick tells Jerry’s the adventure is a personal favor to Morty, who asked for Rick to give the recent divorcee a win. But, since when has Rick ever done anything nice for his grandson? In the “Vindicators” episode, blackout Rick cared more about Noob-Noob than he did Morty, and Morty’s Adventure Card was all out of space for stamps.
Rick And Morty' Captures The Ugly Side Of Masculinity
If it takes an official stamp system for Rick to let Morty pick an adventure, then there’s no chance in hell that he’d ever take Jerry on some kind of a “pity adventure.” So what’s really going on here? The “execution” Jerry expects might be closer to the truth.
The Season 3 trailer released in early July teased scenes from this upcoming Rick and Jerry adventure. Even then, something weird was going on.
Based on the clips from the trailer, it looks like Rick and Jerry head to some domed city where they ride a roller coaster (maybe that’s the “Whirly Dirly”?).
How Getting A Song On Rick And Morty Changes Your Life
In all the scenes that show the two of them riding a roller coaster, Rick has the same weird hole in his shirt with blood around the edges.
So we know that Cyborg Rick is most likely the same Rick that’s hanging out with Jerry, which means that, barring anything unexpected, he’s probably the same Rick who drags Jerry out of bed in the promo.
Is this Rick some kind of clone sent by the remnants of the Galactic Federation or, even more likely, the surviving members of the Council of Ricks?

Keep in mind that Tammy and Phoenixperson are still out there, and with the scientists at their disposal, building a Cyborg Rick wouldn’t be all that far-fetched.

Began with a convoluted story in which series villain Rick breaks out of prison before breaking up his daughter’s marriage. There’s also a huge battle that includes many Ricks from other dimensions as the story folds back over itself and past seasons, and the whole thing ends with a wonderfully nonsensical speech about how this all happened so Rick can get more of a promotional dipping sauce from McDonald’s.
Rick And Morty Season 4, Episode 6 Recap: Never Ricking Morty
The joke, which plays with the show’s theme that Rick is empty, alone and despondent despite having everything he could ever ask for, is that all that work was done for a silly, arbitrary reason. There is no plan, and there is no meaning. It may as well be a dipping sauce.
This flew right over the heads of some of the show’s biggest fans, and McDonald’s stepped right up to take advantage of this fact.
McDonald’s is struggling. It’s an older brand that has become synonymous with low quality and disposable culture. Sales are down, and the new CEO needs to get them back up. So why not turn to the internet?

What started as a silly joke about Rick’s hollow soul became a marketing opportunity, and the best part was that McDonald’s didn’t have to pay Adult Swim anything to cash in. The promotion was never officially tied into
“Look at that art, look at the font, ” Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon told . “Look I’m not being sarcastic when I talk about this. If anyone from McDonald’s is reading this, I don’t see anything wrong with what they’re doing and clearly neither does their legal department.”
But of course the fans revolted. McDonald’s either underestimated demand for the sauce or tried to manufacture scarcity of an old product that was already meant to be promotional — the sauce was originally supposed to tie into the Disney film

— and ugly scenes broke out as fans waited in line for hours only to be told that their location was out of the sauce.

This is a weird situation for everyone, because Adult Swim had nothing to do with the promotion, nor did anyone from the show itself get a heads up about how McDonald’s would try to take advantage of the joke. McDonald’s, for its part, didn’t seem to understand what it was tapping into when it leaned into this gag.
Rick And Morty (uncensored)
Fans, who are already getting an online reputation for, believe it or not, narcissism and toxicity. And they took that toxicity out on McDonald’s employees, who had little idea of how bad their day was going to get.

Superfans, the ones who are giving the rest of us a bad reputation, like to “joke” about how you have to be smart to understand the show while proving over and over again that
Rick And Morty Season 6 Episode 5 Recap: 'final Desmithation'
. Rick wasn’t saying the sauce was important, he was saying that nothing is important. Why not destroy a family over a sauce? Why do or don’t do anything?
The fans responded by giving the subject of that joke an absurd amount of importance in their lives. They felt real anger over not getting their sauce, and they don’t mind taking it out on McDonald’s. If you don’t believe me, spend a few minutes look at the responses to this tweet:
You spoke. We’ve listened. Lots more #SzechuanSauce and locations. Details soon. And that’s the wayyy the news goes! pic.twitter.com/ooIrbZBsOw— McDonald's (@McDonalds) October 8, 2017

It’s funny because McDonald’s is attempting to reference how Rick talks without paying the creators of Rick anything while making both brands look bad while
Highlighting how quickly online fandom can turn into angry mobs in real life. OK, maybe this isn’t funny at all. Maybe the whole situation is sick, and you’re right to feel a little sick when you read about it.
Because the fans don’t understand any level of what’s going on. If they understood Rick, they wouldn’t care about the sauce because

In the show really cares about the sauce. It was never referenced in the show again. Dan Harmon himself explained to us that the line was put there just to rip on co-creator Justin Roiland’s love for the sauce. If they understood Morty, they would be kinder to the McDonald’s workers who didn’t ask for any of this.
And if they understood the point of the show so far — that living only for yourself is destructive and selfish no matter how smart you are — they would be ashamed at how they’re acting.

Rick And Morty Season 5 Finale Review
Fans don’t understand anything about this situation. Not the way commercialism stepped in to cash in on nihilism, nor the irony of how they’ve given something intense meaning and value after being told by a fictional character that it had meaning as a way of illustrating that
Fans who start their own fight clubs, not understanding that the point of the movie is how easily white male anger is co-opted for violence and mindless support of empty and hateful causes.
And they’ve done this due to their love of a show they think makes them look smart or that they feel justifies their loneliness. Maybe they’re not alone because they’re so intelligent, maybe the problem is that they’re the kind of people who would get mad at a fast food place for not having enough sauce. The problems in their life most likely begin and end at that fact.It came as a shock to many… But with the power vacuum left by the heartless consumption of our dictator, we shall impose even more Draconian cookie law, one be-cookieing at a time!
Rick And Morty (tv Series 2013– )
Oh, that’s great logic, Morty… forgive me for not doing the kissy chef gesture since you probably spilled this [bleep] everywhere and I don’t want to teleport my lips.
Fine. You know what, replace me! Replace me, Rick! Just do it. Good luck
