Something you should know about me, I am a huge fan of the Rick and Morty TV show I’ve been watching it ever since it started. I really enjoyed how meta it was, especially with the names of the episodes. Each one had either Rick’s name in it, or something another clever pun to go along with the theme of the episode. So let’s get on to Rick and Morty Theories That Will Blow Your Mind!
After viewing all the episodes, I’ve developed a fan theory. The theory is that all the episodes that had Rick’s name in it meant that we were following that same Rick from the very beginning.
For this article, at least the first part of this article, I would like to delve into why each episode has Rick’s name in it, and list the episodes that I believe has the original Rick
like the original Richter following in it and the other episodes that doesn’t have Rick’s name in it or more T name on it or tangent episodes of a different Rick and Morty in the seasons.
And what I’ve also noticed in one of the other episodes can’t remember the name of it yet, but it’s talking about a simulation inside a simulation and that episode. I think it’s a very pivotal episode because we as the audience begin to question if Rick and Morty actually got out of the simulation or they’re still stuck in that stimulation, and my theory is that they are still stuck in that simulation so for the first part of this article I’ll be talking about all the episodes that I believe are Rick and Morty episodes that we have Xeon answer the following and all the other episodes are just tangent episodes of a different Rick and Morty episode.
And the second part of this article I will be talking about how I believe that Rick and Morty never left the simulation and that they are still stuck in it so without further Ado here we go.
Here are a list of the original Rick and Morty episodes:
Season 1
Episode 1- Pilot
The Pilot episode is a toss-up. It could be a Rick and Morty Original Episode or it could be an episode on its own that has no connection to the original Rick and Morty since this episode doesn’t have a title granted it’s a pilot episode that’s why I am saying that this could be either they’re about the original Rick and Morty or a different Rick and Morty.
Episode 6- Rick Potion Number 9
I would like to point out that in this specific episode is the one where Rick and Morty leave their original universe and go to a universe where a Rick and Morty were going to be killed just to replace them. Thus would indicate that this was a pivotal point for the audience to follow where Rick and Morty are going and that the original Rick and Morty aren’t in their original universe.

Don’t believe me? Watch the episodes yourselves, and see if this theory checks out.
Now onwards to the next theory that I have about the Rick and Morty episodes.
Remember watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies back in the 90s? If you have an Eagle Eye, like me, you’ll notice that there are slit eye holes underneath the animatronic eyes of the puppets of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Obviously, these eye holes are made for the actors inside the suit to see easily.
Now you may be wondering why am I bringing this up when I’m talking about the Rick and Morty episodes. The answer is very simple, if you notice some of the characters in The Rick and Morty TV show you’ll see that they have dark lines underneath their eyes. They almost look like eye slits that you would see from the 90s movies Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. My theory is that each character that you see with those black eye lines underneath their eyes indicates that they are in fact wearing a mask. Thus solidifying that Rick and Morty are still inside a simulation inside a simulation. All the characters with those dark slits under their eyes are in on it. Even the Eye Hole man!
The sad part is that Rick is probably not aware of this, but if he is, he is just accepting his fate that he is stuck inside a simulation inside a simulation.
Here are pictures of characters with those eye slits that I was talking about and you can be the judge for yourselves:
Frankenstein’s Monster from Total Rickall
Chris from The Ricks Must Be Crazy
Prince Nebulan from M. Night Shaym-Aliens!
Zeep Xanflorp from The Ricks Must Be Crazy
Speaking of which, you probably think I must be crazy. Hey judge for yourself. See if what I’m saying is true or not. Let me know what other crazy theories you have regarding Rick and Morty!
