Rick & Morty S08E03: What Happens in the Post-Credits Scene?

Rick & Morty Season 8, Episode 3, titled “The Rick, The Mort & The Ugly,” features a post-credit scene that gives a shoutout to an earlier joke in the episode. The story follows Morty clones living peaceful lives in their hometown. However, Rick’s clones, who are trying to rebuild the Citadel, kidnap them and force them to work. Hillbilly Rick steps in to rescue the Mortys. During his mission, one particular moment includes a funny joke that unexpectedly gets a clever follow-up in the post-credit scene. Here are the details on it.

Rick & Morty Season 8 Episode 3 post-credits scene features brawling dice

Rick & Morty Season 8 Episode 3 features three Ricks playing a strange game before Hillbilly Rick steps in to begin a fight with the clones. The game involves two dice, which, after being rolled, develop arms and legs. This allows them to start fighting. One die defeats the other, which angers Rick, who shouts, “Damn it, that’s not a six!”

As he boils with anger, he throws a bottle, and Hillbilly Rick catches it. This scene is a small and funny moment that gets a clever nod later in the episode. In the credit scene, the two dice crawl out of the rubble as the Rick clones and their base are completely destroyed. They watch the sunset together, which hints at a seemingly peaceful ending. But in an unexpected turn of events, the two dice begin fighting once again. This scene offers a funny callback to the earlier joke in the episode.

Though just a joke recall moment, the scene mirrors the tone of the episode’s original ending, where Hillbilly Rick sacrifices himself to save the Mortys. Arcade Morty then stays back to honor the fallen heroes, Hillbilly Rick and Doc Morty. This scene appears to be an emotional ending until it is interrupted by the main Morty. He and Rick blame Arcade Morty for the destruction and do not allow him to explain himself. They leave after finding the fidget spinner.

While the original ending and the post-credit scene show different moments, they share a similar tone shift. Both go from what appears to be a peaceful or emotional ending to an unexpected moment of conflict.
