Watch Rick and Morty S01 - E08 - Rixty Minutes video on DTube

The cartoon that I cant stop watching Rick and Morty (c) Adultswim The family is watching the reality TV show The Bachelor, and Rick is complaining about the quality of the show. Jerry asks Rick to show them his idea of good television and Rick upgrades the cable to show programming from every conceivable dimension. They come across Jerry on TV which they are eager to watch but which Rick argues is unimportant. To quell them, he gives them a pair of goggles that allow them to see through the eyes of alternate reality versions of themselves. While initially satisfying, these realities reveal some uncomfortable truths and unearth certain hostile feelings. Jerry and Beth both become fixated on watching an alternate reality in which they aborted her pregnancy and never married, and they both seem to be much more successful and happy for it: Beth is a successful human heart surgeon, and Jerry is a famous actor (playing roles Tom Hanks had in our reality). Summer, believing that as the result of an unplanned pregnancy she is the cause of her parent's distress and shaky state of marital affairs, threatens to run away. While she is packing her bags, Morty tells her that in an alternate universe, he and Rick destroyed the entire universe and that his mutilated corpse is buried in the ground (referring to the events of "Rick Potion No. 9"). He says that "nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die", so Summer should not worry. Persuaded by this argument, Summer agrees to stay. Ultimately, it turns out that Beth and Jerry's alternates are miserable in their own ways: alternate-Beth is lonely and spends her days drinking wine and caring for a large collection of birds while alternate-Jerry has a mental breakdown and drives a lawnmower down the highway in his underwear until he arrives at alternate-Beth's house. He declares that he hates being an actor, Beth was the best thing that ever happened to him, and not a day has gone by that he didn't wonder what might have been if they had kept the baby and stayed together. Alternate Beth and Jerry tearfully embrace and kiss, causing main-universe Beth and Jerry to similarly embrace and reconcile.
