Rick and Morty broke through the fourth wall completely and explored a meta commentary laced world in Season 6’s newest episode, and it turns out that the website for a plush toy that Rick Sanchez advertises in the episode is a real thing that Adult Swim whipped up for the occasion! During the fourth season of the series, Rick and Morty found themselves trapped within a “Story Train” filled with all sorts of potential stories that they could have gone on. It ended with a gag for a website that fans could look up to see a page for the Story-Train itself, and now the series has done it again.

Revisiting the outward commentary on the way Rick and Morty writes its episodes much like the Story-Train episode, “Never Ricking Morty,” did back in Season 4, the newest episode of Season 6 brings back many of these ideas and characters in fun ways. One idea that truly brings al of this full circle is the “Rick-Plush.biz” website that Rick mentions where his toy plush is sold, and following that website reveals a hilarious “advertisement” for the toy. Check it out below as spotted by @SirBoyyo on Twitter:ย

Episode 7 of the sixth season, “Full Meta Jackrick,” reintroduces the Story-Train villain, Story Lord, to the series as he escapes the meta space outside of the series’ fourth wall and into the “real” world of Rick and Morty itself. It’s here that the Story Lord sees how mundane the real world of his creator has become, and ends up hatching a plan that forges a massive machine to steal the motivation of the rest of the Earth. It’s a little convoluted, but the gag here is that they go to a factory that’s making Rick Sanchez merchandise.ย

After pointing out the Rick plushes being made in the factory earlier, Rick ends up taking down Story Lord and thus the villain is killed with one of this plushes. Rick gets in an advertisement for the plush itself that notes that fans could follow a website url to buy one themselves, and Adult Swim made sure that curious fans had something to look up! Unfortunately, these plushes aren’t really for sale (they’re not available in this reality!), but it’s certainly fun to see the series going the extra mile for this one joke.ย
Would you actually buy one of these Rick Sanchez plushes if given the chance? Let us know all of your thoughts about it in the comments! You can even reach out to me directly about all things animated and other cool stuff @Valdezology on Twitter!
