- Synopsis
- Is Morty in a coma, or has he been sent to a surrealist summer camp where dream-stealing aliens are stealing Earth-persons' dreams to power their civilization in the "Dream-verse"? Only Rick and Scary Terry (a cheap "Freddy-Krueger rip-off") know for sure... and even they can't agree on what's real.
- Keywords
- coma; dreams; mystery; parody or tribute references; summer camp
Indexer Notes
The primary summer camp sequence is introduced by the title "Morty and Rick in: Mortballs (cue music)" - a title parody of the 1979 Bill Murry comedy movie "Meatballs".
Much of the rest is a parody of/tribute to the 1984 horror movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street", which introduced iconic horror film character Freddy Krueger - suggesting the unofficial title.

- We're Beth and the Beths! Goodnight!
- Genre
- humor; science fiction; adventure
- Characters
- Beth Smith; The Beths; frantic fans of The Beths; Jerry Smith
- Synopsis
- Beth uses Rick's portal gun to escape from Jerry's humdrum banality into a world where she is a member of a punk rock band made up of clones of herself.
- Keywords
- alternate worlds; diversion; punk rock band
Indexer Notes
Oddly, "Our Beth" is not the leader of this band that exists in her image, but just one of the band-members. Perhaps all of them are Beths gathered from different realities.
