* BrickJoke: One of Rick's memory is attaching a jumper cable to Morty, suggesting he has actually tested the "five Mortys and a jumper cable" theory despite claiming otherwise to his Morty.



* DoWrongRight: Rick points out that the Morty Dome is needlessly excessive since you could get the same effect that it provides with only five Mortys and a jumper cable. [[AndThatWouldBeWrong Which he claims he still wouldn't do.]]

* DoWrongRight: Rick points out that the Morty Dome is needlessly excessive since you could get the same effect that it provides with only five Mortys and a jumper cable. [[AndThatWouldBeWrong Which he claims he still wouldn't do.]]]] In hindsight, the sheer overkill was likely intentional, allowing Evil Morty to slip into a massive crowd as opposed to being part of a small group.

** One of the Mortys looks just like Eric Stolz from ''Film/{{Mask|1985}}''. This is an in-joke to the fact that Rick and Morty are based on Doc and Marty from ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' where Marty was briefly played by Eric Stolz before he was replaced by Creator/MichaelJFox.

* BadassInDistress: Rick and Morty get captured by Evil Rick and Evil Morty, and Rick is strapped to a table and pretty much helpless to save himself as Evil Rick prepares to download all his memories and then kill him. Morty is the one who saves the day by starting an uprising among the other Mortys, who defeat the crab monsters and Evil Rick, and freeing Rick himself.

* BadassInDistress: Rick AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: The scan of Rick's mind eventually turns into a montage of stopping in at Beth's and Jerry's house to watch Morty grow up and he get captured by Evil Rick and Evil Morty, and Rick is strapped to a table and pretty much helpless to save himself as Evil Rick prepares to download all tears in his memories and then kill him.

Misuse. "NSD"R must be explicitly stated In Universe, hence the Remark part of the trope


** With the obvious exception of [[ThrowTheDogABone Doofus Rick]], the other Ricks also seem to enjoy making fun of Jerry as much as the Rick they're hunting down.
** Speaking of Doofus Rick, "our" Rick is as mocking and dismissive of him as the other Citadel Ricks.

* {{Touche}}: Rick C-137 tells his Morty to free him from his restraints after Evil Rick is killed. Morty, still mad at Rick for insulting him earlier and revealing he was using him as a "clocking device", tells him he's lucky he's not a Rick and proceeds to free him. Rick acknowledges this with a "Point taken".

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Subverted. Rick keeps cracking jokes in Evil Rick's lab and one of the crab monsters sounds like he's laughing, but it's just a noise he makes every ten seconds regardless.

** Zigzagged when the Ricks prank Jerry into thinking that Rick C-137 was about to fly into a black hole with Morty. When they reveal that it was a joke and that the caller was one of the Ricks in the kitchen, Summer and Jerry continue looking mortified, but Beth grins, implying she found it amusing.
