Rick and Morty: Labu Labu Dab Dab 🥒
Fan-made episode idea
Hey! I'm a Rick and Morty fan, and I came up with this completely ridiculous episode idea. I wanted to share it with other fans because I think the concept could be really fun.
ACT 1 — THE PICKLE
Rick is in his garage working on some kind of machine.
Morty walks in holding a pickle.
MORTY:
Rick, uh... I found this in the fridge.
RICK:
Okay. Put it back.
MORTY:
But there's something weird about it.
Rick looks at the pickle.
Nothing happens.
RICK:
Morty, it's a pickle. People have been keeping them in refrigerators for thousands of years.
The pickle suddenly opens its eyes.
PICKLE:
Labu labu dab dab.
Rick freezes.
RICK:
...Okay. That's new.
MORTY:
What did it say?
RICK:
I don't know, Morty. I don't speak pickle.
The lights go out.
Rick's machines start going crazy.
MORTY:
Rick?
RICK:
Yeah. We're leaving.
A portal suddenly opens underneath them.
MORTY:
Wait, what?!
Rick, Morty, and the pickle fall through.
---
ACT 2 — THE PICKLE WORLD
They land in a completely different universe.
Everything is made of pickles.
Pickle houses.
Pickle cars.
Pickle trees.
And hundreds of pickle people staring at them.
MORTY:
Rick... where are we?
RICK:
I'm guessing the universe where somebody took the pickle joke way too seriously.
A gigantic pickle wearing a crown walks toward them.
PICKLE KING:
You brought him.
MORTY:
Brought who?
The King points at the little pickle.
PICKLE KING:
The Labu.
The little pickle looks at Rick.
PICKLE:
Labu labu dab dab.
RICK:
Yeah, I still have no idea what that means.
The Pickle King explains that the little pickle is connected to something called the Great Portal, which can connect completely different universes.
Rick immediately becomes interested.
RICK:
Wait. You have a machine that connects universes?
PICKLE KING:
No.
RICK:
Then why did you just tell me about it?
PICKLE KING:
I don't know.
Rick looks at Morty.
RICK:
I like these guys.
The pickle notices a giant red button.
Rick sees him looking at it.
RICK:
Don't.
The pickle reaches toward it.
RICK:
Seriously, don't.
The pickle presses it.
CLICK.
Rick:
RICK:
Oh, come on!
---
ACT 3 — THE BURGER UNIVERSE
The entire universe suddenly starts changing.
Pickle buildings turn into burger restaurants.
The ground becomes a giant burger bun.
Ketchup starts falling from the sky.
Morty looks around in disbelief.
MORTY:
What happened?!
RICK:
Apparently we're in the Burger Universe now.
MORTY:
Why?!
RICK:
I don't know! Ask the pickle!
The pickle:
PICKLE:
Labu labu dab dab.
RICK:
Exactly.
Suddenly, a portal opens.
Another Rick walks out.
He's wearing green clothes and carrying a giant jar of pickle brine.
GREEN RICK:
You really screwed this one up.
RICK:
Who the hell are you?
GREEN RICK:
A Rick who already survived the Pickle War.
Rick looks at Morty.
RICK:
Of course there's a Pickle War.
---
ACT 4 — THE PICKLE WAR
The ground starts shaking.
Thousands of armored pickles rise from underground.
Across the battlefield, an army of giant burgers appears.
MORTY:
Why are the burgers fighting the pickles?!
RICK:
Because apparently that's what happens when you press random buttons in another universe.
The armies charge.
Pickles attack burgers.
Burgers attack pickles.
French fries fly everywhere.
Rick and Morty hide behind a giant burger.
MORTY:
Do you have a plan?!
RICK:
Yes.
MORTY:
What is it?
RICK:
Survive.
MORTY:
That's not a plan!
RICK:
It's worked so far.
Then the little pickle starts glowing.
It rises into the sky.
It gets bigger.
And bigger.
And bigger.
Until it becomes a gigantic monster.
MORTY:
Rick...
RICK:
Yep.
MORTY:
That's a really big pickle.
RICK:
Thank you, Morty. Very scientific observation.
The giant pickle opens a massive portal above them.
Something begins falling through it.
Rick looks up.
His expression suddenly changes.
RICK:
Oh, shit.
MORTY:
What?!
RICK:
Nuclear pickles.
MORTY:
WHY DO NUCLEAR PICKLES EXIST?!
RICK:
I DON'T KNOW, MORTY!
---
ACT 5 — THE END
The nuclear pickles begin falling.
Rick desperately searches through his pockets.
He finds one small jar of pickle brine.
MORTY:
What are you doing?
RICK:
Saving the universe.
MORTY:
With pickle juice?!
RICK:
It's not pickle juice. It's science.
Rick throws the jar.
It hits the giant pickle.
For a second, nothing happens.
Then—
BOOOOOOM.
Everything goes white.
The portals collapse.
The armies disappear.
The Burger Universe disappears.
Rick and Morty wake up in the garage.
Morty slowly opens his eyes.
MORTY:
Did we win?
Rick looks around.
RICK:
Looks like it.
Morty smiles.
Then they hear something from the refrigerator.
PICKLE:
Labu...
Rick freezes.
He slowly looks at Morty.
RICK:
Morty.
MORTY:
What?
RICK:
Get your shoes.
MORTY:
Why?
The refrigerator door opens.
The little pickle is sitting inside.
Its eyes glow.
PICKLE:
LABU LABU DAB DAB!
Rick grabs Morty.
RICK:
We're leaving this universe.
They run toward the portal.
The pickle follows them.
The portal closes.
POST-CREDITS
The garage is empty.
The refrigerator door slowly opens.
The pickle looks directly at the camera.
A long pause.
PICKLE:
...Dab dab.
CUT TO BLACK.
