rick and morty's rick with birdperson 2

Summary One of the big reasons that Rick and Morty fans love the franchise is that it always keeps them guessing - what seems like a huge moment or game-changing revelation can be dismissed in an instant, while small decisions that fans almost forgot can come back to bite the Smith family in a big way. Now, R&M fans are finding out that a seminal season 1 reveal wasn't what it appeared to be.

The line is a reference to season 1, episode 11's 'Ricksy Business,' and Birdperson's claim that Rick's catchphrase means "I am in great pain, please help me." In the comic, Morty understands Rick's meaning and helps him clear up, but the moment actually changes the meaning of the original reveal that Rick is hiding his depression and self-loathing in plain sight.

Rick's Catchphrase Isn't Actually a Cry for Help Birdperson's Season 1 Claim Was Flawed In 'Ricksy Business,' Rick throws a party at the Smith house, with Morty angry that his grandpa doesn't care about anything but having fun. However, Rick's old friend Birdperson tells him that Rick's party catchphrase "wubba lubba dub-dub" translates to a cry of pain, pointing out that Rick obsesses over partying to dull the existential pain that defines his life.
