The Crossover We Never Knew We Needed
We can certainly think of worse ways to spend New Year’s Eve than jamming at a concert hosted by none other than one of the modern gods of electronic music. Just as the clock was about to reach the last minute before midnight, fans found themselves treated to the unexpected sight of two rather iconic individuals hijacking the whole thing; Rick and Morty!
Concert-goers had barely any time to get their heads around this surprise cameo before the pair proceeded to get into their usual hilarious banter, even mistaking deadmau5’s set up as a bomb!
According to an article on ToonZone –
Cartoons, video games, comics — where will Rick and Morty turn up next? How about during a Deadmau5 concert? Over a minute of new material for the duo made a surprise appearance on the DJ’s monitors during a New Years celebration. The mad scientist and his unwilling grandson unwittingly counted down the seconds to 2018, believing the clock above them to be a bomb and Deadmau5 himself to be Mickey Mouse.
Why are Rick and Morty showing up here? Because Deadmau5 is a huge fan of the show. Huge enough to start a fist fight over Szechuan sauce? Actually…maybe. He was one of the top bidders for a container of the sauce sold on eBay last August, throwing in $11,600 just because of Rick’s drooling endorsement.
We anticipate most of Rick and Morty’s appearances throughout 2018 will be of this nature — random cameos and shorts. Due to production time, don’t expect any new episodes of the series this year, but there will be lots of comic book spinoffs courtesy of Oni Press.
What better intro to 2018 could we possibly get? Seriously, these two need to start appearing at other gigs!
