Recap / Rick And The Loud House Chapter 38 Raw Deal Rick Die Rickpeat

Go To

Lincoln accidentally kills Rick during a tussle with him on his cruiser while after mining for death crystals, which Lincoln keeps and turns paranoid about as it reveals a pleasant future of his death. Earlier, Lucy's fortune telling gives Lincoln the impression that his day will end in tragedy.

Rick and Morty episode: "Edge of Tomorty: Rick, Die, Rickpeat"

The Loud House episode "Raw Deal"


  • An Aesop: Taking emphasis from the original Rick and Morty episode, while putting little from The Loud House episode.
  • Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Subbing for Morty in this episode meant that Lincoln's paranoia gets exacerbated much more than the original episode because of the death crystal, just after being fortune-told by Lucy about his day being in tragedy.
  • Adaptational Context Change: Lucy becomes involved in the chapter, donning her Full House costume as she stops Lincoln from killing the police while under the death crystal's influence like Morty did in canon.
  • Adaptational Karma: Unlike Morty, Lincoln ends up grounded for his death crystal-induced paranoid rampage.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: Rick doesn't call Lincoln an idiot after Lucy removed the death crystal from Lincoln's forehead.
  • Adapted Out: The bulk of "Raw Deal" is ommitted, its premise merely serving as a pretense to build up a retelling of the original Rick and Morty episode. This means all of the Loud siblings apart from Lucy and a cameo from Lynn are absent.
  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Holographic Rick, just like in canon, after being corrupted by the ferrofluid.
  • Badass Bandolier: Lincoln subs for Morty in this chapter. So this trope applies.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: Just like in canon, prophecy can be a real bitch to those desperate for a happy ending. Good thing Ronnie Anne and Lincoln are a couple, unlike Morty still longing for Jessica.
  • Belief Makes You Stupid: Rick dismisses Lucy's fortune telling as complete nonsense and tells Lincoln not to buy it. He doesn't listen, goes paranoid and takes a death crystal.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Averted. Not even Lincoln bothers to address the audience like he often does.
  • Body Backup Drive: Just like in canon, after dying, Rick gets sent to other dimensions inside clone bodies. Unfortunately, he happens to tumble with fascist realities.
  • Call-Back: The Phoenix Protocol and the Meeseeks box, respectively.
  • Combat Clairvoyance: Like Morty, Lincoln utilizes the death crystal to defeat Hank and Hawk.
  • Crazy-Prepared: Just like in canon, Rick finds ways to return to life just in case he dies.
  • Death Is Cheap: Just like in canon, it's impossible to permanently kill Rick as he has the Operation Phoenix technology to just keep resurrecting himself in other parallel worlds.
  • Ghostly Goals: Holo-Rick manages to frighten Lucy (who usually is the one that does the frightening) and Lincoln after "real" Rick's death.
  • Glorious Death: Just like in canon, Lincoln is obsessed with dying old with Ronnie Anne by his bedside, because of a death crystal.
  • A God Am I: Holo-Rick declares himself that before attacking Rick and his kids.
  • Hypocrite: Holo-Rick in the end, just like in canon.
  • I Just Shot Marvin in the Face: Gearhead and Benny Stein suffer this fate after Mr. Meeseeks attempts to kill Fascist Lola on Rick's orders. All of them then get jettisoned into the death pit of space.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Rick, just like in canon, dies this way.
  • Irony: Holographic Rick spooks Lucy Loud as he did Morty. Again, not the first time she had been spooked by someone else.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: Like in R&M canon, Lincoln has a good reason to want to die old and happy instead of dying gruesomely adventuring with Rick.
  • Seen It All: Although Holo-Rick suffers a brutal and gruesome death like in canon, none of the two Loud siblings react with repulse at the sight. At this point they're so used to such carnage that their best reaction would be a slight wince.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: In his trial, Lincoln doesn't cause the judge to commit suicide, but instead cause her to run towards Peru to reunite with her loved one.
  • Static Role, Exchangeable Character: Flip subs for Mr. Goldenfold in the Wasp Rick scene. Also serves as Adaptational Karma for being a greedy Jerkass that he is, even though his L-137 counterpart is killed by Rick.
    • Hank and Hawk fill in for Morty's bullies.
  • Take That, Audience!: Just like in canon, Nazi Lola demands Rick to just go along a classic adventure without meta-commentary and continuity, which is a jab at fans wanting simple adventures from early seasons.
  • You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Rick's expression after meeting of all people, Lola Loud in a fascist uniform.
    Rick: Really? We're really doing this? We're seriously doing 'Nazi Lola', huh?
  • Would Hurt a Child: Rick orders Mr. Meeseeks to murder Fascist Lola, just as he did with Fascist Morty. To be fair, she was a Nazi youth armed with a pistol, and she's Lola Loud, a tempermental brat, so Rick had every right to defend himself.
