Man, this is one of the few episodes where Rick did a bunch of selfless good deeds, and look what happened. I guess you could call it karma for usually doing bad things and getting off free. But he:
Made peace with the mini people in the name of America, saving the mini people from a potential war that they'd surely lose
Made peace between two nations and let the president take credit. The president didn't even thank him
Gave Beth the clone choice. She just ended up freaking out and running away with the rest of the family from him and getting back with Jerry.
Fought the president, risking his life, all for a selfie for his grandson, who ran away from him and stole his portal gun in the middle of the battle.
And by the end, he's got nothing to show for it, and it's pretty much the worst ending any episode has ever had, for him personally. He did try to shoot and kill Jerry, but come on. No wonder he rarely goes out of his way to do nice things for people.
If we get clone Ricks on top of alternate Ricks, we're gonna be up to our necks in Ricks.

>Rick did a bunch of selfless good deeds, and look what happened. he killed honorable men who worked for the white house and got into a mortal fight with the president of the united states in the oval office only because the president didnt want a selfie with his grandson,who didnt want it either. Rick is a despicable fuck and the episode treated him like he is. Fuck you rickfag fuck off with that shit,no one cares about clones.
Ethan Morgan
>Fought the president, risking his life, all for a selfie for his grandson Morty didn't want the selfie anymore. The whole final fight was for Rick's sake, not Morty's. It was just a clash of egos at that point.
Luis King
Yes. Because unlike some people, I am skeptical about everything he puts out. This is one of his sound theories.
Hudson Price
>matpat >sound theory nice bait
Carter Jackson
I turn myself into a clone Morty! BOOM! Big reveal I'm a clone. What do you think about that? I turned myself into a clone. I'm clone Riiiiick!
Robert Fisher
It was a good episode overall. Solid 8.
Levi Scott
>Fought the president, risking his life, all for a selfie for his grandson Except the whole point of this episode is that that's bullshit. He didn't want Morty to get a selfie of the Prez because he cared for Morty, he wanted it as a final "Fuck you" to the president.
The entire point of this episode was about Rick once again trying to overinflate his ego over menial shit while missing the real problem of his family getting tired of him in the background.
Joshua Ross
user even a broken clock is right twice a day.

>Made peace with the mini people in the name of America, saving the mini people from a potential war that they'd surely lose >Made peace between two nations and let the president take credit. The president didn't even thank him That was just to piss off the president.
>Fought the president, risking his life, all for a selfie for his grandson, who ran away from him and stole his portal gun in the middle of the battle. That was just because he was pissed off at the president.
Ryder Campbell
Clone Rick is back home with Base Rick's real family, this Rick is going on his soul searching fun adventure.
Where do you think the Morty picture came from?
Matthew Wright
>this Rick is going on his soul searching fun adventure. Isn't that pretty much what he did between leaving Beth as a kid and coming back when she's an adult?
Gabriel Cruz
how the fuck did he make this so fast?
Logan Lopez
Well, I am pretty sure it takes him a few hours to think, record and edit this shitty theories.
Nolan Torres
probably but at least he used to pretend to do "research"
Isaiah Nguyen
OP here. Yeah, I forgot how many innocent people working for the president got killed in that fight. And that Morty didn't even want the selfie anymore. Over all it probably was just for the sake of his own ego. But then again maybe a small part of him really was doing it for Morty. I mean, some people focus so hard on wanting to do something for someone, they lose sight of what's really important or what that person really wants anymore.
Asher Myers
The episode was cool up until they were like 'fuck it, status quo' Dropping the show, Jerry is the worst and we'll never be rid of him.
James Clark
I would've agreed with you maybe a few years ago when he wasn't jumping the shark every other video
Hudson Hernandez
Not if the way in which it is broken is that its hands are gone.
Brody Torres
>rick spending 12 straight hours with beth. >not getting bored in the car and portaling naw nigga
Dominic Thompson
He wasn't being selfless. He was doing it to spite the president. The same thing happened in the devil episode.
Alexander Williams
>selfless He lost interest tormenting the president the instant it stopped being fun for him, just like with the Devil episode.
The Beth thing was pretty good though. That's a genuine life dilemma when your motivation for life (making your child happy) directly causes something to hurt yourself (distance from your daughter due to someone taking her time/attachment away from you).
Benjamin Lopez
I'm waiting for the s4e1 swerve to fuck up this finale just like s3e1 annihilated the s2 finale.
Parker Myers
>Not if the way in which it is broken is that its hands are gone.
Its less that his hands have gone and more that he utilizes imaginary appendages that were once the idea of hands.
Ryan Williams
Rick doesn't deserve the effort anyone puts into him and he knows this, which makes him the freest person alive, but also the loneliest. He's finding himself nihilistically placed in this "other" category while the rest of the family bonds more meaningfully. It's his fault.
Logan Evans
so uh why did the portal gun become a teleporter where are the alternative dimensions
Logan Morales
>The show was never meant to be taken seriously >You shouldn't get invested in the development of the characters >The entire fucking progression of season 1 to season 3 >Every other episode has some sort of development be it showing us how included the family is in Rick's craziness or Morty growing a spine man haha sure is stupid to get invested when the show actively tries to develop the characters at times.
Isaiah Peterson
>Closest execution center was 4 hours away >In a reality where aliens came to the planet I'm sure they're willing to hand that shit. Additionally here's a counterpoint to episode 10. >Rick doesn't shoot Jerry in the head >Stays and puts up with the family's shit >Season 1 Rick abandon his original beth and jerry without a second thought So what gave him any motivation to actually put up with this unless it was hard programmed into him? He arguably knew his original beth even longer yet again he left her like she was nothing.
Gavin Long
Source of the pic, OP? I fucking detest when Jerry and Morty are interpreted with anything other than mini afros, but this drawing is beautiful!
Jack Gutierrez
Sorry friend, not too sure. I found it here on Sup Forums just yesterday. Maybe Pixiv though.
I agree. Jerry is still the worst character and the status quo is just giving in to the people that bitch about not Muh season 1
Noah Morgan
This
Adrian Reyes
Rick did nothing wrong.
Brody Reed
Because this time around, Morty would not go with him
Austin Reed
so they gave in to Sup Forums
shouldn't you be glad?
Nathaniel Baker
Cute!
Landon Morgan
I love this show, but honestly this whole season just sucked.
Aaron Cruz
The thing is that Jerry could still be in the mix and a lot of these episodes could still happen. We already know that the galactic federation and the council of Ricks can't fuck with the status quo, why would anything really stay different for the family?
Jordan Ross
He told them they had the right not to follow the presidents orders and even warned the first guy he would die if he touched him, they brought it on themselves
Christian Sanchez
What's wrong with Jerry again?
Connor White
>innocent >soldiers
lol
Josiah Wood
It's a teleportation gun that is rigged for interdimensional travel
Normal teleporters are blue
Maybe you aren't smart enough for Rick and Morty, user :^)
Carter Brown
Why does everyone hate Jerry? He's the most relatable character and the ground of the show. Beth is easily the worst character, her personality is non existent, ranging from bitchy to daddy issues. More often we're told she's smart, but she never actually displays it.
Summer is fucking better than Beth.
Liam Williams
>He's the most relatable character I didn't knock up a girl at 17 and get stuck in a middling domestic life.
Charles Gutierrez
I second this.
I feel like Jerry is a necessary evil to have as he contrasts with Rick heavily and some how gets by. This is why Rick despises him.
Jose Price
I disagree. Summer is the worst character. She isn't even a character. She's the Brian of the show.
Noah Myers
Porn of mini queen when?
Hunter Bell
He needs morty and he can't get a new one from the citadel.
Hudson Rodriguez
>where Rick did a bunch of selfless good deeds
Except he wasn't doing any of it to be selfless, he was doing it to show up the President and make him look like an ass.
Angel Morales
He wasn't going to kill Jerry retard He was there for clone Beth but he loves his family and didn't want to lose access to Morty so he fell for their family bs. He saw the opportunity to retcon season 3 and all the shit with the president by faking being Fisher Rick.
Jeremiah Nguyen
Has Dan Harmon or Justin Roiland answered what the fuck this thing was and why it was in one of their episodes?
Brayden Cooper
It's just a Salazzle
Wyatt Thomas
alien strip club
Noah Flores
He asks Morty to leave with him but once Morty refuses he just gets all undignified and eventually just stays and deals with shit.
He can replace Beth and Summer with other versions of them, but he seems to be hanging onto his Morty.
Anyway he wanted to leave bevause he wasn't the one making the decisions anymore and because Beth went back with Jerry and niw seems to genuinely love him.
Caleb Miller
>a sexual tiranosorus
Robert Cooper
She's a stripper you fucking idiot. There's already porn of her.
I know she's a stripper you donut, I want to know why they put softcore animated scalie porn in their show.
Ryan Robinson
Actually watch the episode then, moran.
Benjamin Allen
I did watch the episode you banana, I watched the livestream on Sunday on AS. I know they are in a strip club with the president of Israel and Palestine getting high to broker a peace deal - I want to know why they had softcore scalie porn instead of something "normal" by Rick and Morty standards; a blue alien chick with three tits, or some really fat and ugly alien chick.
Jaxon Ross
Rick is the clone. Real Rick ran off with Clone Beth.
Austin Flores
This fucking Pokemon.
>Literally has Mind Control Pheramones that work on humans >Her favorite place to be rubbed seems to be her crotch
I swear I only use her because she's great, not because I want to fuck her.
Kevin Smith
The artist might have been told to make an alien stripper that humans would only find attractive on drugs. >"Haha, look at this huge dinosaur looking stripper, lets put her in high heels and a spiked bra too. Isn't this just gnarly? It's so gross, haha." >Everyone else too afraid to tell him that he's wrong to avoid being labeled as a weirdo who likes dinosaur ladies
Jackson Bennett
> that one guy who is honestly confused if he has taken drugs or not because he finds the alien stripper attractive
this comedy writes itself
Oliver Diaz
Oh, wow user, just for being that honest I'll give it a shot.
Easton Barnes
Not neccessarily my friend. For you see, it's entirely possible that the "broken" nature of the clock is expressed in missing teeth, which would cause the clock to run slower than normal clocks, skipping some turns. This means, it would be lagging behind the real time, as opposed to standing still, making it entire possible that it's never right for multiple consecutive days, weeks, months and even more depending on your margin for error, whether you accept being 2 minutes off as accurate or not.
Sadly I can't add the whacky visual effects and random video game and cartoon characters looking like they're deep in thought to this explanation, but let's just pretend I did for the sake of this entirely pointless but self-importantly made explanation MatPat style.
