About
Simple Rick's Fondest Memories is a series of exploitable images based on a moment from the animated comedy series Rick and Morty in which the character of Simple Rick remembers his fondest memories, which is displayed on the helmet he is wearing. Online, people photoshopped the image on Rick's helmet to reflect their own opinions and preferences.
Origin
On September 10th, 2017, Cartoon Network aired the seventh episode of season three of Rick and Morty, "The Ricklantis Mixup."[1] In the episode, the titular characters visit the city of Atlantis, home to the Citadel of Ricks.[2] One scene in the episode features a commercial for a cookie made from the brain secretions of a character named Simple Rick. As his fondest memories play in his mind to make him cry, the helmet plays the memory on a screen at the forehead (shown below). This is the basis for the meme.
Two days later, on September 12th, on the /r/RickAndMorty subreddit, Redditor [3] kkalashnikobe posted an image from the episode in which Simple Rick can be seen with his eyes closed thinking the character Noob-Noob.[4] The post (shown below) received more than 7,400 points (97% upvoted) and 80 comments.
