I think it's Summer's emotional intelligence that sees the pain in Rick. She understands that its a mask and she has one to, to some degree. I think that's why she is his favourite, and why he deliberately excludes her.
Christopher Cruz he doesn’t have a favorite he said there both shits. He bases them on who is less annoying. He said he can’t tell the two apart sometimes.
@@ihatebears7445 Yeah but to clone something you need the original first. Cloning is making a copy of a living thing. Therefore, even if Beth was a clone, an original Beth was needed for her to exist.
@@benjoleo if "Diane" (if that even was her name) was real, I doubt she'd look like that. She'd probably have red hair. It's stated a couple times that Rick has a thing for red heads and also Summer has red hair, a trait that usually skips a generation, so her grandmother ("Diane") would likely have it as well
@@rafaelagustin375 Rick was depressed because he was smart. So a Rick without depression is Doofus Rick. Because he isn't smart enough to be depressed like the other Rick's.
If you watch the memory while he is in the Shoney's, the two girls stand in front of a portal, not one above their heads. Rick hints at the fact that she left him not the other way around. What if when Rick went to fight the wars with Bird Person and Squanchy, his wife used the portal gun, took Beth, and left Rick?
Definitely possible as children of breakups who end up living with only one parent can end up being told the other parent did everything wrong and continue to believe that all there life.

John Castor this could explain his indifference about the universe morals and ethics (he sells weapons to serial killers and death crystals to god knows who). He truly despises the 'common good' or 'higher purpose' notion because that is exactly what made him miserable: maybe he went with Bird Person and Squanchy on dangerous and illegal missions to save the universe, but eventually it ended up to losing his family!
considering he's probably summoning wormholes with his portal gun and wormholes are what theoretically appears when you fold a universe in half, he'd be restricted to only being able to teleport to one half of the universe, so there's about a 50% chance that would've been impossible but that's just a theory, a *film theory* edit: now that I think about it, it would actually be possible to teleport anywhere in the universe including the second half if he just uses it twice
Maybe it is because his toilet is very important to him and teleporting would be "too easy", like his toilet deserves the respect for him to take his time and fly there
There's also the episode of bird person's wedding where rick says that even he "couldn't make marriage work" small detail but just in case you missed it
I remember at one point in the show Rick says “I can’t engineer happiness” or something along those lines but I forget what episode it was. It might’ve been the purge episode

10:09 interesting detail I missed, remember how (in that episode) any time they’re uncertain it splits their time? Notice how when Rick is told he has to give Morty the collar time *doesn’t* split?
Rick's wife couldn't of died and she definitely raised Beth after he left her but We never see her in any universe he visits. There's no way she died in every reality. In the episode where bird person gets married, Rick says he couldn't make his marriage work. Insinuating that they broke up. Surely if he broke up with one, he could move to an identical universe but one where Rick doesn't exist and meet her again. It's more likely that his wife is just as clever as him and is hiding from him in every reality. Like the citadel of Rick but for her. Beth is very head strong and dominant over Jerry, it is likely that her mother was as well making her and Rick clash being both dominant. It's likely he wishes he'd given in more to her to make himself happy. Anyways, just a thought.
Or his wife deleted herself from every reality and rick just blames himself, drinks and tries to forget everything about it. If his wife exists in every reality, there's a reality where she is bad at hiding. Ricks would have found her. Maybe rick made a mistake and deleted her. Fact is, her totality or avatars of her in the shows "real time" haven't showed up yet.
This is another detail that needs to be confirmed, it just make sense. Rick and his portal gun is like an addiction of escapism in something like the Remote of Morty in The Vats Episode. The Portal gun is Rick's way to see in thw multiverse, his flaws, his strenghts, his successes, and his mistakes. Yet his wife is constant on every multiverse, he cannot change, escape, chase, or fix.
Agree, Rick specifically said that his marriage ended in failure, but i think she still died also. Like when rick said to Beth that she made the crap out of those eggs and then followed it up by ‘i wish your mother was here to taste them’ or something close to that, which kinda insinuates that she’s not alive because a divorce doesn’t mean loosing contact with your kids. The only other thing i could think of is that the mother may have dementia and so whether she’s alive or not she doesn’t really visit her family, cos she’s physically incapable.
Rick and Morty: Oh, you're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me? Matpat: I can't theorise about you without getting closer.
@@twilluz7188 You know that telling someone with depression that "everything will get better", you TEMPORARILY make them smile. So you're not actually helping. Congrats for trying though.
@@twilluz7188 never tell someone with depressions that "everything will get better"... it's just empty words like "thoughts and prayers" and makes the person think you don't take him/her serious....
It’s funny. Rick’s depression is mostly coming from his Atheism since there is no hope for anything for an atheist and yet there is a Bible character mentioned here. Solomon was the smartest man to ever exist and yet you read his different books he really wasn’t depressed and yet Rick/many atheists are. Wonder why.
I still believe his family actually died, and he jumped to another dimension where he himself had died (so he could take his place) but Beth is alive. That’s why he “disappeared” for so many years; it’s when the Rick of the reality we follow was dead, before our Rick came from another dimension. Our Rick is mourning the family he lost, while living with a replica of them.
@@stupidiot17 maybe not. Maybe the rest of the family died but morty didnt. I mean we see tons of morties in the Citadel and they never return home. There are even morties with no Rick's and even ricks with no families. So it isnt hard to believe that C137 Rick and Morty have no one but each other. We also know that C137 Rick genuinely loved his original family. We know the baby Morty in his memory is not the current Morty and it would also explain why, since dumping their last reality, Rick has become more invested in this family but wildly swings from genuine affection to callous indifference. But seen in season 4 finale and season 5 episode 2, Rick has found himself entangling himself deeper in the family. As Beth says in the latest episode. He's become afraid of losing them
I think there is. We just haven't seen them infinite realities. Only few thousand or million Rick's started the citadel. Millions a lot but compared to infinite not so much
*Me:* "Oh cool another Rick and Morty video for me to distract myself with" *Matt:* "Today we're going to talk about depression and how it causes us to push the people closest to us away" *Me, depressed and pushing people away:* "...oh"
I always thought that this was a straight forward theme for rick that he’s depressed. I mean at least for me I already knew. It’s why I like the character so much.
The whole "new ideas are just combinations of old ideas" concept makes me feel suddenly very confidant in my writing style, like I've been actively metagaming creativity itself by just trying to combine things in weird ways.
I think the reason Summer lets the insults roll off of her is because she too is depressed to some degree. In the episode with tiny Rick, she understood the existential crisis and pain he was going through. She knows that while she hides it, he lashes out because of it, and she gets that.
yeah, we know for a fact that the c-137 sanchez family isn't Rick's original family, because Rick was actually present at the birth of Morty, which he wasn't for c-137 morty as he had "been gone for so many years". His past is truly a mystery.
@@lordjaxter6968 Rick and Morty are from say Universe 1, but Beth, Summer, and Jerry are from Universe 2. Remember, their Rick and Morty died in season 1. We know Rick identifies as C-137, but we don’t know if Morty is C-137. Nor do we know Evil Morty’s identity either. Universe 2 Beth says Rick was gone for 20 years. Universe 1 Beth did as well. Rick C-137 held Morty when he was little. It’s not possible for Rick to have been gone for that long and not miss holding Morty. Plus he at least knows, but also somehow remembers Jerry and Beth going to Prom, and him knocking up Beth. - Rick also fought a Revolution and became a wanted criminal to the Galactic Government. It is possible Universe 1 Rick is still out there, never re-contacting Beth, on top of Universe 1 being messed up already. This means Morty of (unknown) has never met his original Rick. Rick C-137 also knows a confident Morty is a bad Morty. Speaking from experience perhaps? Further proving Morty isn’t Ricks first Morty. Also, Dianne is likely out there somewhere, since Beth and Rick never say she is dead. Why she doesn’t visit her grandkids I don’t know, maybe because Rick is there?
Haha. Yeah, private. I'm definitely nowhere near there. No, sir. I don't watch you poo, because you are somewhere that is private. That...we are both certain of.
When you mentioned how Rick leaves Summer out of adventures, it reminded me of a line from the episode The Rickshank Rickdemption. When the Council of Rick's is listing the charges against Morty one of them is "radicalising a Summer". So could it mean the majoirty of Ricks are so protective of their Summers they would consider it a crime to have her join in on an adventure?
Based on researched depression has shown to decrease cognitive abilities somewhat. Rick is a fictional character though. So I don't think Ernest his observation is correct, or he has low standards on what intelligent means. I think Ernest is biased since he only hung around miserable people. Intelligent people come in all shapes and flavors. Although I do have to agree, that usually intelligent people don't necessarily seek happiness as in joy, but something more like fulfillment. And to get fulfillment while having a complex mind, something of equal complexity needs to fill, so it becomes ful....filment. I think Einstein is a great example, since he expressed emotions of fulfillment and ecstasy upon getting the insight for his theory. Maybe that Ernest is not as smart as he thinks ;)
@@bluegiant13 acutally there is IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and EQ (Emotional Quotient). IQ measures a person's ability to learn new things and adapt. EQ measures a person ability to read and desern peoples emotions. IQ has no correlation to EQ.
Rick was happy to have found a way to avoid going to the therapist and VERY happy/impressed with himself for being capable of turning himself into a pickle...but thats not true “happiness”. Its TRUE happiness that eludes Rick and his inability to set aside his own ego enough to even allow himself to show unconditional love to the people he does in fact “love” that causes him such emotional distress...which in & of itself is one of the things that makes the show so compelling.
Lmao, his downright acknowledgment of actively avoiding his deepest emotions and most painful and vulnerable emotional shatter points is the TRUE expression of "happiness!"
Rick did witness Diane and Beth die. In an episode when he goes into bird persons memory, a past Rick says that our Rick moved in with an abandoned adult Beth. So he found a family that’s Rick abandoned his family and died or just decided to live at the citadel of Ricks.
Nah, Johnny Bravo came before Test. It's much more obvious that Johnny Bravo pulled a Benjamin Button and regressed back into his younger self, being Johnny Test.
7:30 While it is very difficult to invent something from nothing and everything that humans has invented are remixes and remasters of everything, Rick is the smartest thing in the universe, he could probably make up a totally random scenario.
Thank you so much Mat Pat, this video really helped me realize why my big brother became so "cold" to me after he got diagnosed with depression, and now that I understand why, I hope that my brother and I can rebuild our bond... And it's all thanks to you!
"His past and future are the few things out of his control" Hurts even more that one of the theories is Rick's 4th wall break meaning c-137 could be the one he knows is not only the main character, but that the creators established they wouldn't mess with time travel until we actually understood it on any level.
If the brain can't create then could this be the Key to finding baby memories. Quiet your mind of words think more on image's feelings. Colors sounds lights heart beats and voice's . movements sounds sensations. Go back to more Basic state of mind if your imagining your brain is deciding how to feel if you already been there your brain already knows how to feel. And things while start coming back to you
When talking about depression, you used the word "we" a lot. Just in case, I want you to know you are adequate. You are enough. There's people all over the word that care about you.
Ahmad Alali. I actually do know way too many people who suffer from depression and the idea that everyone is depressed makes it worse, especially those who have depression rooted in guilt. It makes the person feel as if only they deserve what’s happening to them and they close them self off more and more the more they hear that others have to go through such pains too, especially the use of everyone. Just asking you to be careful, but it’s the right kind of message.
When Rick show the memory of his wife and his daughter Beth dying it is a real memory because it is from a different universe that that Rick originally belong to and Rick left his universe and came to the new universe where this Beth’s Rick left her when she was a kid so that’s why Rick from our dimension doesn’t talk about it
as someone who only just started watching R&M at all within the last 6 months or so (and already gone thru it multiple times), but after seeing this now I feel sort of like validated in how coming out of my first complete viewing, I'd felt that Summer was probably my favorite character of them all.
@@LazGato Here’s my theory Humans derive happiness from two sources: distraction and meaning. When you know nothing matters, then nothing has meaning, so all that’s left is distraction, which is fleeting and not always available, sometimes leaving you with nothing, and where there’s nothing, there’s depression.
Apple Pi Right, since *nothing* is given meaning, it becomes apparent. Before, nothing was exactly that: nothing at all. Darkness. What's your theory of nothing in this context now that's it's been given meaning?
@@rainbowcat832 I think you may have misinterpreted my use of the word nothing, rather than the abstract concept of nothingness, I meant to use it to convey that there is nothing between you and negative thoughts, perhaps those are existential and actually relate to the abstract concept of nothingness, or perhaps they are more material, but either way, once you have outgrown the concept of inherent meaning, you are left with only one source of happiness, which is shallow, and therefore only provides happiness in the moment it is happening, and a lingering aftertaste of itself, but nothing lasting.
I think it's Summer's emotional intelligence that sees the pain in Rick. She understands that its a mask and she has one to, to some degree. I think that's why she is his favourite, and why he deliberately excludes her.
and cause shes smarter than Morty so he could get tracked with his brain waves
Christopher Cruz he doesn’t have a favorite he said there both shits. He bases them on who is less annoying. He said he can’t tell the two apart sometimes.
Morty is also very emotionally intelligent. Summer is somewhere in between Rick and Morty when it comes to intelligence.

I have a feeling he was telling them that based on the circumstances and the fact that Rick didn’t want Summer or Morty to know what was up.

Rick's wife couldn't of died and she definitely raised Beth after he left her but We never see her in any universe he visits. There's no way she died in every reality. In the episode where bird person gets married, Rick says he couldn't make his marriage work. Insinuating that they broke up. Surely if he broke up with one, he could move to an identical universe but one where Rick doesn't exist and meet her again.
It's more likely that his wife is just as clever as him and is hiding from him in every reality. Like the citadel of Rick but for her. Beth is very head strong and dominant over Jerry, it is likely that her mother was as well making her and Rick clash being both dominant. It's likely he wishes he'd given in more to her to make himself happy.
Anyways, just a thought.
Just A Thought? That's Impressive.
Or his wife deleted herself from every reality and rick just blames himself, drinks and tries to forget everything about it. If his wife exists in every reality, there's a reality where she is bad at hiding. Ricks would have found her. Maybe rick made a mistake and deleted her. Fact is, her totality or avatars of her in the shows "real time" haven't showed up yet.
I've been thinking about something like this a lot, I've always thought what if she wasnt dead
This is another detail that needs to be confirmed, it just make sense.
Rick and his portal gun is like an addiction of escapism in something like the Remote of Morty in The Vats Episode.
The Portal gun is Rick's way to see in thw multiverse, his flaws, his strenghts, his successes, and his mistakes.
Yet his wife is constant on every multiverse, he cannot change, escape, chase, or fix.
Agree, Rick specifically said that his marriage ended in failure, but i think she still died also. Like when rick said to Beth that she made the crap out of those eggs and then followed it up by ‘i wish your mother was here to taste them’ or something close to that, which kinda insinuates that she’s not alive because a divorce doesn’t mean loosing contact with your kids. The only other thing i could think of is that the mother may have dementia and so whether she’s alive or not she doesn’t really visit her family, cos she’s physically incapable.

That’s ironic if you think about it no? Lol
It’s funny. Rick’s depression is mostly coming from his Atheism since there is no hope for anything for an atheist and yet there is a Bible character mentioned here. Solomon was the smartest man to ever exist and yet you read his different books he really wasn’t depressed and yet Rick/many atheists are. Wonder why.
Nice
It took a film theory for y’all to figure out Rick is depressed? Bruh.
Probably because hulu said he was a sociopathic doctor, and that explained everything just as well as depression, except that its CONFIRMED
Mat was referring to people who have depression as “we” and “us”
O-O ohhhhh noooooooo
"We" as in mankind. "Us" as in humans.
It is a common mental illness, with close ties to anxiety.

I still believe his family actually died, and he jumped to another dimension where he himself had died (so he could take his place) but Beth is alive.
That’s why he “disappeared” for so many years; it’s when the Rick of the reality we follow was dead, before our Rick came from another dimension.
Our Rick is mourning the family he lost, while living with a replica of them.
This goes against the theory of Evil Morty being the real grandson of c137.
@@stupidiot17 what if evil morty was the cause of the family’s deaths?
@@stupidiot17 maybe not. Maybe the rest of the family died but morty didnt. I mean we see tons of morties in the Citadel and they never return home. There are even morties with no Rick's and even ricks with no families. So it isnt hard to believe that C137 Rick and Morty have no one but each other. We also know that C137 Rick genuinely loved his original family. We know the baby Morty in his memory is not the current Morty and it would also explain why, since dumping their last reality, Rick has become more invested in this family but wildly swings from genuine affection to callous indifference. But seen in season 4 finale and season 5 episode 2, Rick has found himself entangling himself deeper in the family. As Beth says in the latest episode. He's become afraid of losing them
Then that was A REAL MEMORY but it wasnt
@@stupidiot17 that theory is wrong
Why does none of the Rick's have Beth's mom in there life's?
Because every Rick abandoned her

@Daylen Dude you are so smart
I think there is. We just haven't seen them infinite realities. Only few thousand or million Rick's started the citadel. Millions a lot but compared to infinite not so much

I always thought that this was a straight forward theme for rick that he’s depressed. I mean at least for me I already knew. It’s why I like the character so much.
The whole "new ideas are just combinations of old ideas" concept makes me feel suddenly very confidant in my writing style, like I've been actively metagaming creativity itself by just trying to combine things in weird ways.
You make good remixes
I think the reason Summer lets the insults roll off of her is because she too is depressed to some degree. In the episode with tiny Rick, she understood the existential crisis and pain he was going through. She knows that while she hides it, he lashes out because of it, and she gets that.
“Not so smart now, theoryman” is an excellent quote
I love Summer + Rick episodes. They're very rewarding.

Their relationship is one of the best parts of the show

Anyone else remember when evil morty was looking through ricks memories
yeah, we know for a fact that the c-137 sanchez family isn't Rick's original family, because Rick was actually present at the birth of Morty, which he wasn't for c-137 morty as he had "been gone for so many years". His past is truly a mystery.
LordJaxter jeez
@@lordjaxter6968 Rick and Morty are from say Universe 1, but Beth, Summer, and Jerry are from Universe 2. Remember, their Rick and Morty died in season 1.
We know Rick identifies as C-137, but we don’t know if Morty is C-137. Nor do we know Evil Morty’s identity either.
Universe 2 Beth says Rick was gone for 20 years.
Universe 1 Beth did as well.
Rick C-137 held Morty when he was little. It’s not possible for Rick to have been gone for that long and not miss holding Morty. Plus he at least knows, but also somehow remembers Jerry and Beth going to Prom, and him knocking up Beth.
- Rick also fought a Revolution and became a wanted criminal to the Galactic Government.
It is possible Universe 1 Rick is still out there, never re-contacting Beth, on top of Universe 1 being messed up already.
This means Morty of (unknown) has never met his original Rick.
Rick C-137 also knows a confident Morty is a bad Morty. Speaking from experience perhaps? Further proving Morty isn’t Ricks first Morty.
Also, Dianne is likely out there somewhere, since Beth and Rick never say she is dead. Why she doesn’t visit her grandkids I don’t know, maybe because Rick is there?
It's wild to come back to this theory, after I've seen the conclusion of season five, along with the premiere of season six.

Ah yes, my favorite emotion: pickle
But rick left his “original” summer didn’t he?
Yes he did in the episode where morty mutated the whole world with basically a love potion
Best not to think about it
He left his entire original world. C137
"There are infinite timelines and infinite possibilities"
the concept of 'original' anything is lost on Rick at this point.
Was he supposed to take her with and let there be two Summers running around simultaneously?

When you mentioned how Rick leaves Summer out of adventures, it reminded me of a line from the episode The Rickshank Rickdemption.
When the Council of Rick's is listing the charges against Morty one of them is "radicalising a Summer". So could it mean the majoirty of Ricks are so protective of their Summers they would consider it a crime to have her join in on an adventure?

“Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.” ― Ernest Hemingway
Based on researched depression has shown to decrease cognitive abilities somewhat. Rick is a fictional character though. So I don't think Ernest his observation is correct, or he has low standards on what intelligent means. I think Ernest is biased since he only hung around miserable people. Intelligent people come in all shapes and flavors. Although I do have to agree, that usually intelligent people don't necessarily seek happiness as in joy, but something more like fulfillment. And to get fulfillment while having a complex mind, something of equal complexity needs to fill, so it becomes ful....filment. I think Einstein is a great example, since he expressed emotions of fulfillment and ecstasy upon getting the insight for his theory. Maybe that Ernest is not as smart as he thinks ;)

People who say Rick can’t be happy,
*look at Pickle Rick.*
That wasn't happiness, that was mania.
Rick was happy to have found a way to avoid going to the therapist and VERY happy/impressed with himself for being capable of turning himself into a pickle...but thats not true “happiness”.
Its TRUE happiness that eludes Rick and his inability to set aside his own ego enough to even allow himself to show unconditional love to the people he does in fact “love” that causes him such emotional distress...which in & of itself is one of the things that makes the show so compelling.
Lmao, his downright acknowledgment of actively avoiding his deepest emotions and most painful and vulnerable emotional shatter points is the TRUE expression of "happiness!"
@@quantumblauthor7300 Just Like Tiny Rick
Oh no

Rick did witness Diane and Beth die.
In an episode when he goes into bird persons memory, a past Rick says that our Rick moved in with an abandoned adult Beth.
So he found a family that’s Rick abandoned his family and died or just decided to live at the citadel of Ricks.

While it is very difficult to invent something from nothing and everything that humans has invented are remixes and remasters of everything, Rick is the smartest thing in the universe, he could probably make up a totally random scenario.

The creators themselves have actually debunked this. That alone shuts down any theory MatPat could come up with.

"His past and future are the few things out of his control" Hurts even more that one of the theories is Rick's 4th wall break meaning c-137 could be the one he knows is not only the main character, but that the creators established they wouldn't mess with time travel until we actually understood it on any level.

@@matte3348 thank you. And this goes for anyone who is feeling depressed. I promise you, someone cares and wants to see you doing better
Ahmad Alali. I actually do know way too many people who suffer from depression and the idea that everyone is depressed makes it worse, especially those who have depression rooted in guilt. It makes the person feel as if only they deserve what’s happening to them and they close them self off more and more the more they hear that others have to go through such pains too, especially the use of everyone. Just asking you to be careful, but it’s the right kind of message.
3 words, You. Are. Enough.

When Rick show the memory of his wife and his daughter Beth dying it is a real memory because it is from a different universe that that Rick originally belong to and Rick left his universe and came to the new universe where this Beth’s Rick left her when she was a kid so that’s why Rick from our dimension doesn’t talk about it

MatPat:”obvious metaphor was pretty obvious”
Me: *deep thinking*
Maybe his depression comes from the fact that he KNOWS he’s in a show
No, that would be really stupid
He suffers from existential depression or something like that. I mean when you know nothing matters it kinda gets to you some how
@@LazGato Here’s my theory
Humans derive happiness from two sources: distraction and meaning.
When you know nothing matters, then nothing has meaning, so all that’s left is distraction, which is fleeting and not always available, sometimes leaving you with nothing, and where there’s nothing, there’s depression.
Apple Pi Right, since *nothing* is given meaning, it becomes apparent. Before, nothing was exactly that: nothing at all. Darkness. What's your theory of nothing in this context now that's it's been given meaning?
@@rainbowcat832 I think you may have misinterpreted my use of the word nothing, rather than the abstract concept of nothingness, I meant to use it to convey that there is nothing between you and negative thoughts, perhaps those are existential and actually relate to the abstract concept of nothingness, or perhaps they are more material, but either way, once you have outgrown the concept of inherent meaning, you are left with only one source of happiness, which is shallow, and therefore only provides happiness in the moment it is happening, and a lingering aftertaste of itself, but nothing lasting.
I’d love to have my own toilet, but I live with a family
