Justin Roiland Drops A ‘Rick And Morty’ Prank Call To Joel Osteen’s Church And Gets A Weird Surprise

The return of Rick And Morty for season three has placed the spotlight back on the show and its creators, be it for bringing back mythical McDonald’s dipping sauce or getting falsely accused for some Game Of Thrones shade. Now we get a little Rick And Morty injected in the controversy that followed Joel Osteen and his response to the damage from Hurricane Harvey in Houston. During a recent appearance on the Ethan and Hila Klein’s H3 Podcast, Roiland and the rest of the folks, including Gravity Falls creator Alex Hirsch, in studio decided to give a call to the Joel Osteen prayer line.

Roiland puts on his best Rick voice for the call and ends up getting one of the random prayer operators on the line, making his way through her questions and attempting to get himself to Osteen. It goes about how you’d expect, with a very confused lady on the other line while Rick Sanchez keeps prodding with questions.

It’s high entertainment, but soon takes another twist when the operator starts speaking in tongues on the phone with Roiland. It’s something you may have seen with other televangelists over the years, particularly in a famous viral clip of Robert Tilton that has made the rounds over the years, but it’s not exactly something you encounter randomly. So it takes a moment, but Roiland rolls right with it, asking for a translation and even speaking in some tongue himself. This is where the operator actually starts to laugh herself before finally cutting the call off.

It’s definitely one of the more interesting prank calls you’ll find, but it was also for a good cause. Roiland was on with Hirsch to help out with H3’s fundraiser for Hurricane Harvey victims, raising over $120,000 for Direct Relief. There is even a Joey Salads cameo if you’re interested, where he gets pepper sprayed as one of the fundraising goals.
