10 Best Rick And Morty Parody Episodes
9. M. Night Shaym-Aliens!
Whilst the concept of being trapped in a computer simulation could be considered a parody of The Matrix, this episode mainly parodies the real-life director M. Night Shyamalan and his frequent use of twists.
When Rick and Morty find themselves trapped inside a world that seems too good to be true, Rick suspects that they may have been kidnapped by an alien race known as the Zigerians. Rick uses his supreme intelligence to make sure that the pair escape the simulation, only to find that they are in another simulation and that Morty isn't with him after all.
Of course, Jerry somehow ends up stuck in the simulation too but never catches on to it, being totally oblivious to everything and everybody around him. Even with the machine running at low capacity.
What makes this episode so much fun is that right up until the last sequence, you do really think that Rick has been had by the Zigerians and has been bested in a battle of wits. That is until the Zigerian ship is totally destroyed by the method he gave them of making dark matter earlier in the episode.
