I love how Rick has the foresight to prepare bones, oxygen tube, and a microphone, but not prepare a backdoor exit.

"A vat of fake acid are you dying of demntia?" one of the best lines of the show

The way this series goes, I would have totally been down for an entire episode of them in this vat trying to prove they were in acid through different shenanigans

1:48 I just realized Rick actually used his cybernetic arms to reach and grab the rat

Rick's lack of empathy is why he failed to anticipate that the gangsters would be horrified at seeing 2 people dissolve in acid. And, that's why a lot of his plans fail.

Kinda sweet how Morty saved the rat by giving it the oxygen tube.

This is exactly when you fail 17 times to complete a mission with stealth and then say "ok, screw this. I'll kill them all"

2:20 I love the fact that Rick just watches Morty pack up the crystals in the box waiting for some kind of positive reaction from him but just got an annoyed/frustrated one instead 😂

Bro when the other bones went up instead and the guys freaked out was easily the funniest part in the series. Like it was so simple but the voice actors sold the shit out of it

“A vat of fake acid what are you dying of dementia?”

My favorite part is their banter on the ride home. You can really see the character growth in Morty from season 1 (in which he revered and feared Rick) to this new season (in which Rick is finally playing defense).

2:15 I'm glad with knowing the rat survived, jumping off the second guy just in time to avoid having its flesh melted off of its bones

Easily the best rick and morty joke. Rick is at his best when his idiotic ideas are streched to their limits not when he is a badass god who has no weakness.

Funny how Morty is trying to save that rat and seconds later just throwing it at them.

The way Rick said "And the world will know when I try to hurt you" and he actually delivered later when he made Morty re-do the vat of acid bit in front of all the people Morty wronged, his pettiness truly was as big as his intelligence

This was such a good, ridiculous scene. Rick’s on-the-fly thinking of whittling fake rat bones and blasting the ladle are classic

ngl I wish I could watch this in an alternate universe where the whole episode was just these guys testing the vat and rick trying to save his plan.

I was hoping the whole episode was going to be them in the vat of acid and the gangsters talking

0:54 Rick knows that his plan failed

i love how morty saves the alien rat and even gives it his oxygen tube but then gets mad and throws it at the guys.

_*Okay, but can we talk about how good friends The Lead Gang Member’s crew is for him at the beginning?_

I think both Rick and Morty where in the right in this one. A fake vat of acid is definitely an original and unique idea that would be successful in theory. The problem was they were attempting to trick a pretty stubborn group.

I love how the rat chills out and just starts hangin with them once Morty gives it his breathing tube lol

Notice how the gun was on stun-mode because Rick didnt intend to kill the rat

This episode was hands down the best episode of the season in my opinion. Sad, funny and teaches a valuable life lesson.

I still think season 2 is the best season, but this episode *(along with Morty’s mind blowers)* is probably my favorite episode of the entire show

This is episode was so perfect. It was filled with jokes, it was funny, it was sad, and it showed a twist.

Fact is Rick could not anticipate that the alien gangsters weren't as dumb as they looked. He's still a genius but even some things are still unpredictable to him.

2:39 My favorite insult in this clip

Alien gangsters speak Italian

The fact that they got mark Hamill to voice one of the mobsters, and mark Hamill voiced the joker who fell in a vat of chemicals/acid too. Is fantastic

“Look at the size of the bones on that rat” gets me every time

Morty's biggest mistake was thinking Rick wouldn't hurt him.

“Look at the size of the bones on dat rat!” “How many sets of bones this rat got?”

I love the detail of the little dish turning slightly as it picks up each voice

“Big man, Big Genius, Big Lonely Drunk” is my favorite line from the entire series.

“The world will know when I try and hurt you.” Well, he wasn’t lying. But in fairness, Morty did that to himself.

even though this wasn't a half-bad idea it's not up to par with ricks other ideas, i think morty is right to be cocky

I love Rick's quick thinking when he starts to craft rat bones from that rib then proceeds to shoot the ladle once the guys change idea.

2:23 I don’t know why that bit is so satisfying

“A vat of fake acid are dying of dementia!” The greatest morty line he ever had

"when did you get so cocky??" "Tonight, Rick!! The night i saw you fail!" I'm still laughing

It was ricks fault for slightly opening the other bone box and not closing it all the way. Doesn't matter if he's right or wrong in any situation, he just wants to win every time.

I love how real their facial expressions are, especially when Rick constantly check the road like he is driving a car

1:55 I love that the rat sucks on the oxygen with glee

The vat acid would have worked if morty whould have just kept his hand on the spare bones lid.

"What am I, an acidologist?" 😂😂😂😂

The worst part is that the gun rick uses has the ability to only leave behind the bones of target, making the spare bone thing pointless

2:50 That was the funniest shit ever

Rick made breathable water for Beth so why couldn’t he do the same for the fake vat of acid? 🤷🏽

2:33 I can hear the song

"The world will know when I hurt you". Foreshadows the finale pretty well.

Leave it to Rick and Morty to get into a stupidly absurd situation, have that situation continue for awhile before then shooting up the place.

When they were teasing this episode I was sure it was gonna just be a bottle episode with them in the acid vat. I would have watched that.

I died when that Alien mafia boss said "Madonn" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO

1:44 lol, love how this short sequence tell its own short story. 1:44 Rick and Morty make eye contact and Rick motions that he wants Morty to do something. 1:45 Rick gestures towards the hidden hatch with his hands, wanting Morty to take the rat and put it in there. Morty however is already looking up at the rat being dropped and doesn't see Rick making instructions 1:46 Rick flails around because he realizes Morty isn't paying attention. He wants to release the fake rat bones but the real rat NEEDS to be in the hidden hatch so he's motioning desperately to Morty to help him. He tries to grab the rat himself becauuse Morty isn't helping him 1:47 Morty suddenly realizes that Rick wants something from him but he doesn't know what. He sees that Rick has his hands on the hatch so he assumes he has to do the same but doesn't understand why. 1:48 Rick is trying to catch the real rat with his bare hands but as soon as his hands move towards the direction of hatch Morty assumes that Rick wants to hold the hatch down again because he doesn't understand the plan Rick has here. 1:49 Morty lets go of the hatch but Rick was reaching for the rat so now the human bones float up 1:50 Rick realizes that Morty just let the bones float up and is frustrated, he tries to shoot the real rat but Morty grabs the rat because he wants it to live and feeds it oxygen. The fake rat bones float up because Rick can't hold on to them Really neat how they managed a whole interaction in only like 5 seconds! (Also I typed this on mobile so apologies if the formatting is a mess but thought this was so cool it was worth describing here)

the vat of fake acid was a really stupid idea even at the ending

This episode is a great counterpoint to all of the people clamoring for more episodes featuring "Evil Morty": This show already *has* a main villain, and it's *Rick*.

"Look at the size of the bones on that rat!" Funniest shit I've ever heard.

That's it, I'm calling a bone scientist

1:46 If the lowest setting of that gun set things a flame, the possibility of Rick just slightly turning the knob could've easily turned the rat into bones.. Or just turning it all the way

“It was pre ruined!” 😂😂

"A vat of fake acid? Are you dying of dementia?!?!" Easily one of the funniest lines in Season 4, makes me laugh every time I see how exasperated Morty is

2:03 when I have morning wood and idk why

🦀

2:48 as morty said it was pre-ruined

vat of fake sun

2:56 single handedly take down an entire army of mad max like warriors.

the "I'm calling a bone scientist" part tho

I find it funny how the entire rest of the episode is basically Rick having a temper tantrum over the fact that Morty makes fun of him over this idea =) The fact that he ultimately provides Morty yet another stupid vat of acid as his only way of escaping his predicament is just... gold. God-tier pettiness.

I like how they just dismiss the fact that the bones should have melted in the acid too

Probably my favorite Rick n morty episode ever. The absurdity of it and Rick trying to justify it is what this show does the best

I like how the rat has enough intelligence to breath from the tube instead of panicking and swimming up.

"Look at the size of bones on that rat" 💀

0:41 that’s some nice detail, how the microphone sound thingy, shifted direction from the boss to his friend and back to the boss.

the losing animation of multiversus is this one

“I’ll let you know when you have a point, and the world will know when I try to hurt you” Jesus Christ 😂 🤣

i like how morty acts a lot like evil morty here. evil morty was right, "if you've ever been sick of him you've been evil too"

0:50 yo its pretty cool how the little satellite moves even a bit when they talk to each other

*Multiverse brought me here...*

"The world will know when I try to hurt you" He wasn't exaggerating...

Honestly it was a pretty stupid idea. Unnecessarily complex, needed too much to go right to work, too easy to mess up, especially since they could have just shot them from the get go.

0:55 Morty and Rick's expression pretty much says it all. Seems like Morty at least had an idea that there would be some kind of hiccup with the mobsters when they said they'd stay there as long as they needed to while Rick is just dumbfounded on why people would stay longer than they have to

Just one of my favourite Episodes

I feel like every season Morty acts more like Rick.

They brought this back! Season 6 episode 9! 😂

5 seconds of unparalleled torture

0:30 this sums up the dynamic

So yeah, I think it was more fail on Rick, so let me get this straight, he had spare bones sure, but ¿For what ? if he can use instead his acid gun Wth.

The fake vat of acid was actually a really good idea! Unfortunately those aliens were really stubborn, and way too comfortable having a casual conversation in front of the gruesome remains of a child and his grandfather

That Fake vat of acid scene is my favorite of Rick and Morty episode.

I like how they've been through way stupider plans, but it's the acid one that Morty specifically hates.

This feels like Fallout dialogue

Season 4 was when Rick and Morty started to creak and became more unfocused but this is one of the best episodes

Those goons are literally the best friends you could ask for, damn.

“Look at the bones on that rat”

This episode won an Emmy

Morty giving the oxygen tube to the rat is still one of my favorite little moments in the show

Like a certain winter solder once said you couldn’t have done that earlier 2:15

For some reason I find the "Are you dying of dementia?!" bit is hilarious.
