How many shots does it take for Rick and Morty treasure Justin Roiland to transform into “drunk Rick?” Series co-creator Dan Harmon brings us some answers courtesy of a boozy burpy video.
In a bid to method act (not in the unpleasant Jared Leto condom way) playing an even drunker version of Rick (if that’s possible) on a future episode of Rick and Morty, Roiland attempts to get into character by guzzling a number of shots. As the recording progresses, there’s a bit of disagreement on whether or not this sh*tfaced Morty still sounds sober. As you might suspect, it’s the drinking party making that complaint.
“Can you try to read this one on-script?” asks associate producer Sydney Ryan as things get increasingly sloshed.
“Man, f*ck you!” Roiland responds with a cheery tone.
Billed as the “least productive” and “messiest record day in the history of the show, this silly exercise may have been difficult to deal with as a co-worker, but it’s loads of fun to watch.. Fair warning, there’s not much Morty dialogue. It’s more drunken rants about death and “the next prezzo.” It’s a fun slice of video and something to gawk at while binge eating McDonald’s Szechuan dipping sauce.
