10 More Rick & Morty Fan Theories That Change Everything
7. Rick Knows He Is Trapped In A TV Show
There have been few occasions where Rick Sanchez has truly been stuck. His genius is so great that he can get himself out of just about any situation, whether it is a fight on Blood Ridge, an afternoon as a pickle, or drifting through space surrounded by dead Ricks and Mortys.
Even if he needed a little help every now and then, no matter how many people try and kill him, or how little the odds seem of survival, Rick manages to get out alive. There is in theory however, one situation that Rick has never, and will never be able to escape from.
He is the smartest man in the world, but nothing he has found so far can help with the fact that he is stuck inside a cartoon TV show. That’s right, perhaps Rick is completely aware that his and Morty’s adventures are televised for an audience, and there’s absolutely nothing he can do about it.
Not only does Rick regularly break the fourth wall, he is constantly making meta jokes that reference the fact that he is in a TV show. Maybe these aren’t just silly jokes to get a laugh from the audience, maybe these are cries for help from a man who can’t escape his life as a cartoon character.
