Seemingly taking inspiration from the video’s popular virality, “Forgetting Sarick Mortshall” has a plot that may seem eerily familiar to Disney fans. Although a play on 2007’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the story also mirrors several plot points of Disney’s 2016 animated princess flick. A stone awakens an angry lava monster. Both duos face close encounters with angry fauna (possessed crows/sentient coconuts). A tropical island setting. An all-knowing grandparent who occasionally secrets/glows cool-toned colors. Hell, all Morty needs to do is don a crop top, necklace, and sing forlornly about Rick and before Adult Swim knows it, they’d be served with a cease and desist from the HMIC (head mouse in charge).
Yet as the outlet noted, this is far from the first time fan reactions have influenced the series as a whole. Throughout the series, the show has made subtle nods to its fanbase, including addressing several fan theories (a la an army of Ricks and an entire episode centered around the premise of dreaming up these conspiracies), and even meta, third-person references to the show itself.
So, folks, although we may be at a loss for words when it comes to acknowledging this bizarre connection that we may have brought upon ourselves, to paraphrase The Rock’s character, “what can we say except you’re welcome” … for seemingly inspiring this creative concept.
