** Mr. Poopybutthole is also retconned into every scene in the intro. Only one or two of these scenes are anything that could count as a good memory; the rest are clearly scary and/or bad.

* MythologyGag: One of Ricks's supposed catchphrases ("Lick-lick-lick my balls!") is a possible reference to Roiland's pre-Rick and Morty short ''The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti'', in which the proto-Rick character Doc Smith really ''did'' say that all the time.

** Sleepy Gary reassures Jerry that he's real, and the memory he creates is solely to comfort Jerry, as it doesn't introduce any new characters.

Added DiffLines:

* ExplosiveBreeder: Every time a character has a flash-back, more parasites suddenly appear in the house (it's not exactly clear how this works in-universe). After Rick has a flashback of a huge family barbecue, the Smiths' home is immediately packed with dozens of new people.
* FakeMemories: The parasites implant memories into the brains of their hosts to make it seem like they've always been there. However, Morty finds a flaw in their methods; they can only plant ''good'' memories, allowing the family to distinguish who's real by which ones they have unpleasant memories of.


Added DiffLines:

* IMeantToDoThat: After Rick calls Morty a stupid piece of garbage who he has tons of bad memories of, Morty figures out that's how you can tell the real people from the parasites. Rick realizes in amazement that he's right, but Morty is confused because he thought Rick knew all along and the insults were intentional hints.
-->'''Rick:''' [[BlatantLies ...Well, yeah. Duh-doy. T-took you long enough.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: During the montage of Morty's bad memories with Rick, the first three involve their fantastical extraterrestrial adventures (getting dragged away by a giant alien crab, getting spewed on by a lava monster, about to be vivisected by some blob beings), while the last one is just Rick pulling down Morty's pants and laughing at him after he trips and falls down the stairs.


Added DiffLines:

* SpottingTheThread: Morty eventually realizes the parasites can only create good memories, allowing them to identify parasites if they can't think of anything bad ever happening with them around.


Added DiffLines:

* ThisWasHisTrueForm: The parasites immediately revert back to their original form upon being shot.

Too fantastical.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: While Mr. Poopybutthole understands that Beth shot him because she likes him too much not to think he was one of the parasites, the trauma of her shooting him is still too much for him to want to see the family again.

Added DiffLines:

* CastingGag: Tara Strong plays the lead character from a parody of brightly-colored children's animated series with lots of friendly cute, marketable animals (and also a little unexpected maturity for grown-ups). This [[Recap/DuckTales2017S1E10TheMissingLinksOfMoorshire won't be the last time]] she appears in a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony'' parody.
