Rick and Morty Season 4 Episode 5 "Rattlestar Ricklactica" features the series' first TIME TRAVEL episode, breaking the writers' long held rule against the overdone sci-fi plot device. How did this episode avoid the common tropes of time travel with an impressively structured story and insane attention to detail in the snake planet? Erik Voss breaks down this episode of #rickandmorty shot by shot for all the hidden jokes you might have overlooked. What are all the Terminator parallels with the snake time travel? How does Jerry's subplot the darkest event yet for him? In what ways does this episode call back Interdimensional Cable, the Vindicators episode, Ricksy Business, and other past episodes?

You missed Rick's computer "cutting corners" when Rick tells it to put a rush on it and the windows it displays all have a corner cut off.
Which is a nod to Battlestar Galactica
Lol
I laughed so hard at the joke twice, and I didn’t even catch that
I believe the blood spatter on the cave walls was supposed to be one of those cavepaintings where they put their hand on the wall and paint around it with red soil. Therefore the snaketail outline.
TheElles1 the la craouex sp? In France the earliest pictographs know
Totally correct. They used to blow red paint on their hands to leave an outline, not a blood splatter.
@@seldane3218 aboriginals have been doing it for 60,000 years
@@fungus2116 Yes and similar paintings were found in North America and I believe North Africa. The Aboriginal paintings are the most famous, partly because they still make them, but interestingly enough this seems to be a practice so old humans ended up doing it everywhere.
You missed the coincidence that Christopher walken's character in click is called Morty
“No one chokes me without consent!”
🤣🤣🤣 totally miss that one
Cracked me up when I heard that bit!!!!!!!!!
😜🤭😁
Snake professor scene i believe was actually a nod to Indiana Jones but that's just me I guess.
I don't know what to say. I just replied so you won't get lonely. Slimes stick together. I love you
@@romaniangamercommunity2223 Thank you sempai for noticing me
lol Indy and like three other movies
I got strong Stargate vibes, myself.
I can think of a whole bunch of sci-fi movies that has a "Professor scene" in it, almost any 80's and 90's had that kind of scene.
I never thought id see the day of a Rick and Morty time travel episode
myabe you didnt)
That episode doesn't even exist, it's all in your imagination
Wake up
It was inevitable...
They even said they’d never do it lol
@@MartianFruit which is why they would do it!lol
Favorite joke “we are in space, everything is out here”
Scene where Morty gets bitten by astronaut snake is reference to "Prometheus" form Alien saga, in which two scientists got killed by space snakes (Ricks and Mortys space suits are the same as in that film)
The hitler snake statue in the 80s university is the snake abradolf lincler
How could they miss that?
Did you notice they couldn't kill him!.🤣🤣🤣😂😈 funny as hell!
snakebradolf snicler
I know right? How could they look at that and think "Nah, it's probably because Lincoln was probably a Hitler fan." ...Hello?
I laughed so hard when the little human like robot came to comfort Beth
Rick: "Maybe he is having an affair."
Family laughs.
Cute little moment.
Cute? I figured that it was poking fun at his utter lack of agency.
this could be a throwback to linkler since Lincoln is just like hitler
I personally like it as a callback to the season premiere how in every other alternate reality, everyone's fascist
Glad someone noticed
Snakebradolf linkler
@@LeoStaley Snakebradolf Hissler
@@clockworklaharl9977 snakebradolf slinkler
When Lincoln got the note that said "sssssss" was when i busted out laughing
black mountain in william blake's poem 'the prologue' is a symbol of death. when the character sees it, he is facing the ultimate fear.
Eek: “the prelude***”
Thanks!
John Hein no worries
Probably not because he never says “black” mountain (I think he says craggy mountain in the prelude)
James Sampson in prelude: “a huge peak, black and huge”
10:08 a snake eating his own tail is a symbol called ouroboros and means infinity/wholeness
The time cop gives a slight nod to “Snakes on a Plane” movie with the “god damn snakes” line
This was awesome! But the snake tail isn't a blood splatter, it's a snake version of the famous caveman handprint with primitive red pigment blown over it.
Thank you. I was looking for this comment before I posted it.
The uniforms R&M are wearing when entering the snake laboratory, are a call back to the uniforms used by the Mobile Infantry in the movie "Starship Troopers" from 1998.
The uniforms were later reused in Firefly
Good Catch! Looked like it was referencing something... but couldn't place it!
And Power Ranger Lost Galaxy
you totally missed the detail where you first see Rick and Morty returning to the snake planet during it chaos and when it shows the overview of the snake pentagon, you can see the future rick and morty ship in the corner of the building waiting for their call
Holy crap you're right! Thanks!
Will watch for that! Good Call!
Was about to comment that. It appears only once and there are many other details in the frame so it’s easy to miss.
where? I see them running in the building right before Morty is punched though
I thought the fascist lincoln was a reference to Abradolph Lincler from season 1
Theirs an old western movie we’re a cowboy gets bite while returning to his ranch “Black mountain” then gets bite might be a reference to that.
I think you got it
The reference that is, not the English language.
Totally missed the reference to Total Recall when Rick leaves the ship and Morty's face and eyes get bulged up.
And i thought i was the only one who noticed such an obvious reference
that's just what happens in a vacuum...
@@anomad6314 No it isn't. It's just what happens in Total Recall and other sci-fi movies. Look it up.
@@anomad6314 Thats not how it works. you just swell up and get puffy. your eyes don't pop out in a vacuum.
nah
I love how there has been Rick and Morty Merch that showed them in the snake suits that has been available for a while, but only not has context.
They did that for the Pocket Morty game too. I noticed a lot of the different characters and references didnt come out till a couple seasons later.
@@np1472 makes me wonder just how far in advance the creative team pitches episodes
4:18 Big mistake on your part there. That's Snake George Washington but he's not corssing the Delaware, he's crossing the Snake Delaware.
You missed the computer "cutting corners" literally cutting corners on the UI.
I wonder where Rick got those snakes he kept in his pant leg during “Get Shwifty”.
TheLovelyLadybug probably manufactured/grew them
@sheldon pereira Maybe he got 'em from a pet store
just saying
It was the ray he used it turned them to snakes lul
@@gfdrhhfehrgrhrelijahpierce391 No, he had a ray that disintegrated people, and then snakes in his boots. It's what rick says to the president near the final scene of the episode.
Time travel
Mr. Walken's character's name in the movie Click was named "Morty" ;)
When rick says to jerry that the floatiness will expire in 10 hours, so Jerry tries to set up a 9 hours 50 minutes timer via Siri, but when the timer goes off the effect immediately expires. So It took Jerry 10 freaking minutes to set up a alarm...
Or maybe he just hit snooze for 10 minutes
And siri played the Beatles.
@T Mac yea but hes saying the effect didnt wear off 10 hours later. It wore off 9 hours and 50 minutes later
I'm pretty sure it was because he had already had the effect for 10 minutes
I noticed that too.
But I don't understand why Jerry would go hug an airplane with only 6 minutes left on the timer.
What did he hope to accomplish?
When Rick thinks intently, so that his future self will remember to help him out, it is a nod to Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure, in which the main characters solve several of their problems with the same tactic
TRASH CAN REMEMBER A TRASH CAN
This is by far my favourite episode so far. Never laughed so hard before.
How is the snake astronaut being female a reference to the fact that there is a female astronaut in Gravity? Lmao
Yh I was thinking that 😂😂
because it's a female astronaut free floating through space.
everyone knows females in space can only happen in sci fi
Because Rick refers to the plot of Gravity earlier in the scene maybe
Because of the context?
I'm amazed they didn't do a snakes on a plane reference.
Too easy
@@EATITTV Terminator reference in time travel episode.
The Time Cop makes a nod to it.
@@thrashpondopons2776 plus a snake-human hybrid brings down a plane
I don’t know how to feel about the fact they made me watch snake hitler taking a shower wtf
They also gave this episode to us as a Christmas gift with an ulterior motive. The narrative was entirely to express almost everything they have told us in the past about why time travel was off the table... They literally gave us what we asked for and we saw Rick and Morty clean up after the mess.
This was honestly on of the best episodes. Very impressive considering its about time traveling snakes 🐍
I think Morty's adventure card is a reference to fan service.
Even though objectively it wasn’t the funniest line of the episode, I haven’t laughed as hard as I laughed at the “is this one friendly?”, “Its a snake.” line when Morty was buying Slippy. I genuinely couldn’t stop laughing and I crack up every time I think about it.
And thaaaaat’s the way the news goes...
King Mob thank you
in the vein of people leaving space ships and going spinning away into space -- mission to mars
also, can we just acknowledge that the snake-stronaut bit morty through its helmet...in space?
The German Shepard is becomes hitler had a German Shepard called blondie and was very fond of dogs
not only dogs, he loved all animals and was also a vegan
See, he loved dogs. Everyone can see that he wasn't THAT bad now.
Joseph there isn’t a lot of evidence to weather he really was vegetarian but he was against hunting
*because
@@bobbybigpotatoes7360 Is calling you a grammar Nazi appropriate right now? 😂
This is snake radio and now here's snake jazz
Hmm... Snake jazz... I like it!
I wanna request some milesssssss davissssss
8:28 Was the "Snake Lincoln Hitler" a callback to the Abradolf Lincler character?
I can't believe no one's mentioned the snake/legs thing is a callback. Rick giving the snake leg is like the inverse of his trick of turning people into snakes. Obviously he didn't turn people into snakes, and he didn't turn the snake human, but each worked to frighten off the other enemies in the respective episodes.
Everyone seems to be missing the ontological time travel paradox of the Christmas hats.
Jinn - items that exists within a closed time loop: (From wiki) "A 1992 paper by physicists Andrei Lossev and Igor Novikov labeled such items without origin as Jinn, with the singular term Jinnee."
So... basically, there are two main points for the time travel, here...
Point 1: The snake lab, where the costumes and time-travel are delivered to
Point 2: Smith House, where the santa hats and snake skins are delivered
So the chronological order is:
1. They are given items at Point 1. (receipt)
2. They are given items at Point 2. (receipt)
3. They build the things to bring to themselves at Point 1.
4. They travel to Point 1. (delivery)
5. They collect the items to bring to themselves at Point 2.
6. They travel to Point 2. (delivery)
However, there is no indications about what happens between #4 to #6. At any point, the hats could have been discarded, which seems not unlikely, given how done with everything they were, by that point. It is possible for them to have picked up the santa hats somewhere else, then. While unlikely, it is possible.
The black eye, though, is the real issue with the loop in my opinion... It was entirely predicated, I feel, on the time loop, as Rick hasn't been shown to inflict physical violence on Morty (only scientific horrors) except now. Which I feel was more a dual-purpose thing, to not only remind him to listen to Rick more often, but to fix the issue of this Morty not having a black eye, like his time-travelling doppel.
@@weebjeez Yes, there is a hypothetical possibility the hats were created and discarded off screen, but given the fact that it's a time travel episode, it's very implausible. The writers' intention is clear - play on t.t. tropes.
The black eye is not an issue. It has a causal source - Rick's fist. And yes, it seems it was somehow necessary for the causal loop to be consistent*, which I find hilarious. The hats - to the contrary, do not have causes, not inside of the timestream itself anyway.
* the fact Rick never just hit Morty doesn't mean he sometimes doesn't want to, especially when he's a pain in Rick's butt.
Btw, by paradoxes I do not mean inconsistencies. Just ideas giving you a pause. Even the grandfather paradox can have many resolutions, depending on the rules of how time works.
@@CoryTheNorm The loop _is_ closed. It's just that the hats have no causal source. They exist only within the loop. Hypothetically the they could have had a source outside of the timestream - like whatever reality the space cops are based on.
A little Christmas miracle...
@@krzyszwojciech I mean, sure... the black eye has a source, but it's also a source which is only enacted BECAUSE it had always been enacted.
Rick punched Morty in the face, because as they were going in, Rick realized Morty needed a black eye, and had a decent enough reason to give him one, other than keeping a paradox from happening. The black eye existed only because it always had.
Personally, I find it much easier believing that the hats were discarded (maybe even moments after they left the snake laboratory, out of disgust/annoyance at the whole situation) and, that sometime during Christmas, they were given Santa hats by Beth/Jerry because they seemed like Rick and Morty weren't really in the Christmas spirit... than I do with accepting Rick sucker-punching Morty, without the influence of the black eye he saw Future Morty have, earlier that day.
The former, while requiring a single, likely assumption (that they could find santa hats around christmas-time), fits with their characterization. The latter does not.
The only times Rick has been physically violent to Morty has been when he has been blackout wasted (and in his stupor, at least once, believing that Morty had been replaced by a duplicate) or when Morty has gone completely out of control (for one reason or another) So I put forward that it's not the Santa hats that are out of place, as far as time-loop created objects/events, but the black eye.
I thought that the snake professor scene was referencing the Stargate movie where Daniel left the university in the rain.
Why isn't anyone comparing the "Don't mess with time" scene with the Einstein's S02E01 one?
can't recall that.
Because it’s a pretty obvious nod to what already happened no one really need to explain it as there isn’t much explaining to do
Love that season 4 has callbacks to previous seasons
missed the IT reference in regards to "We all float down here" 1:57
Don’t know why but Morty’s facial reaction and how he said the last line had me laughing hard.
Morty: I need to pee
Rick: Nope, I got a centipede you could swallow, that makes you not have to go
Morty: I ain’t swallowing no centipede
i don't think Rick and Morty will ever run out of ideas
I loved the “Buzz Aspirin” and “Buzz Advil” joke.
The callback to the how plumbuses are made was my fav part.
U missed something- the German Shepard painting in hitlers room is a reference to it’s always sunny in Philadelphia where they realise that hitler painted a picture of his dog-(it’s the same image!!!)
That episode also pointed out *WHY* Rick avoids using time travel.
BAHAHHAA the cowboy snake fighting the Pharoah snake made me scream
juicy episode but breaking down like this is like slicing a cake and enjoying every bit.
So noone is going to comment about how the cave snake was going to r*pe the other cave snake or........?
Kenny Couz ahhhhhhh. The good old days.
🙂
what? i only remember one snake in that scene
The biggest twist, it's actually a Christmas episode
You caught SO much more than every other video on this episode!
I didn't notice the fangs on vehicles. That's really funny. Thanks for catching it
7:28 I don't know if this is correct but i think this he gives them legs because in the bible God removes all snakes's legs. And morty said he was god in the beginning.
Does no one else think the snake with legs looks like those aliens making coffee in Men In Black
No, cause the coffee addicts are insects.
8:42 there is also one snake (middle right) not heiling him, like on "the" photo
I don't see it
(This one has no tail up)
Been watching my notifications all day for this
7:00 Rick and morty are dressed like soldiers from Starship troopers.
The helmet is especially obvious.
Exactly. He noticed about everything else but that obvious detail.
The snake legs was a callback to another episode when Rick turned humans into snakes.
Summer is wearing Christmas pants with mistletoe at the waist !!
The german shepherd painting is a reference to the always sunny in philadelphia episode in which they find the one of Hitler's paintings.
The S.S. SSSS is a nod to "Hot Shots" which featured the aircraft carrier the S.S. SS
Anyone else feeling like the episodes this season are just extended Morty and Jerry mind blowers?
1:38 ish
#4 the recording session also references Walken being the producer for the SNL Cowbell sketch
The breakdancing snake is hilarious. While the other was nodding his head. Lmao.
1:54 goddamn it Morty "OK Boomer" was RIGHT THERE OK
Also I don't think Morty's cap thing killed the snake. I think it's asphixiation since the snake foolishly took off his helmet to bite Morty
Nope. If you pause it at the bite, you can see the helmet has little fang ports specifically for biting. Apparently, it's so culturally ingrained into the snakes, that they even make accommodations for it in their space suits. XD
That's so much effort for random details. It blows my mind that they would think through every little detail, but do as much as possible to not move the plot forward.
Rick giving one of the snake legs also seems like a callback to get shifty when he tricks everyone into believing he can turn people into snakes.
I love the randomness of rick and morty, cracks me up
A tail devouring snake, called an ouroboros, is also a symbol of eternity; make of that what you will.
Endless time loops like Higurashi Yay!
Wait why are they still producing dog food when all the dogs moved to a separate dimension? Either Rick and Morty moved dimensions again or there are probably dogs still around.
There was an after credit scene that showed that they've confirmed to have jumped dimensions twice; once because the Chronenburgs, once because of squirrels. Maybe that's why?
@@roscodelaine2857 Yeah maybe but we can still see photographs of snuffles in the smith house even after that episode and we never see him again nor other dogs.
Wasn't All dogs... just the ones who became self aware.
Who said all dogs were taken?
@@jarosawsobinski1928 Well considering we haven't seen a dog in ages in the series its safe to assume they are all gone.
the snakes in black lurking ahahAHHAHhah with their suits and shades so sinister yessss
The German Shepard painting is from an it's always Sunny episode.
no one remembers the existance of STARSHIP TROOPERS ARMOR
YES!!!! THANK YOU! I literally went to the comments for this!!
You mean cadians?
@@thetransporter8585 Nah
@@thetransporter8585 rewatch the episode and re check the armor that they wore...
the resistance armour? the armour for the resistance in the earlier terminator films is also pretty similar, but even the bugs in TROOPERS forget that armour exists, just saying
You missed a big one: by "pausing" Beth, we have potential confirmation that Beth is the andriod replacement of the real Beth, who chose to go on adventures instead of be with Jerry and fam
@@badbilly7499 Did you see the Season 3 finale?
They needed the break cause they are on fire 🔥
This was my favorite episode of R&M in a while. Freaking loved it.
I had massive "Crank" (with Jason Statham) flashbacks when Jerry was calling Beth while floating in the air.
About time
That timing! Just finished watching the episode.
My favorite was Rick pulling a Bill & Ted and then actually having to follow through on the plan.
Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice, Christopher Walken basically has anti gravity like Jerry
husk ..Oh yeah, it’s been a warm minute since I seen that thing!
The truly disturbing part of this episode is Morty pleasuring himself.
Missed the cool Warhammer 40k Chainsword nod that the snake kills the nerd snake with 8:15
"You afraid of work. That's what you afraid of!"
"no one chokes me without my concent"
Can we draw attention to the clone blob is exactly like the one he kills before trying to kill himself in a past season??
Zero Grimson i mean this one is more fungal but yeah there is a resemblance
@@zoom-zip3473 I dont think that it's a coincidence, the writers are pretty keen on things like that personally I believe, it's way to similar for them to just "over look".
Zero Grimson well this one wanted to eat the world and the orange one was just depressed soo idk
It's a clone, so...
@@sinteleon ...so...? (Expand on your thought please)
Wow..... I honestly. No words. Everything happened so fast.... I couldnt keep up. XD
The episode was crazy for sure!
A theory I’ve been hearing a lot from other channels is the snakes eating their tails is a reference to uroboros, reflecting infinity, which is what those snakes are considered in after the cops go back and beat up the cave snake, also the first snake that saves morty from the first time travel snake is a reference to the first terminators hero Kyle Reese
Is there a story arc to Season 4? Or is the entire season going to be attacking tropes?
How does he not get the cold blooded reference like isn’t it like super common knowledge snakes are cold blooded
Rewatch it. His point was 'What does cold blooded prices mean?'. It's ambiguous. Too high, because the store owners don't give AF, or very low like the temperature of the blood? It's funny bc it's ambiguous.
He's questioning why the prices being cold-blooded would mean anything, not that "cold-blooded" came out of nowhere
that "snake jazz" bit was so funny
That punch tho😂
