Rick and Morty S03 Episode 1 Finally Arrived, On April Fools Day No Less!
Fans of Rick and Morty have been waiting a long time for it, but now Rick and Morty S03 episode 1 has ARRIVED! Well, briefly anyway. Because, in a sick and twisted turn of events, the creators dropped it on April Fools Day for a limited time. Check out the official 8-bit trailer for it above and the complete episode 1 below.
After the infamous RickRoll trailer from Adult Swim Australia people were reluctant to believe this was legit. Especially since the announcement came on the day when fake news is wilfully perpetrated by everyone.
But, it was tweeted by the official twitter account of the show, and eventually people realised, it really was time to Get Schwifty, sit back, and watch Rick and Morty S03 episode 1!
It came as a total, off-the-wall surprise though. Because after many, many months of being harassed by fans about when season 3 was coming, creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland released the Rick and Morty S03 premiere online on Adult Swim. As one fan commented "These mother fuckers just love teasing us don't they?"
Was This All Down To A Rick And Morty Fan?
Well, it does seem we can all thank one Rick and Morty fan for the surprise Season 3 episode 1 release. A fan who responded to one of Dan Harmon's tweets, about a completely unrelated topic, asking when season 3's return was. Incredibly Harmon replied.
Check out the exchange below:
