Prank against Morty

i guess that in reality it was some kind of kidnapping or something. If he woke up in the dark, he would have been disoriented and could have fallen into the water and drowned.

But it also seemed unrealistic that he wouldn't wake up during the caper, so that leaves it in the realm of fantasy.

It was a total dick move against a sweet man who wouldn't hurt a fly.

That's what makes it so hilarious!

I genuinely felt bad about Morty. Poor guy didn't do a thing to deserve it!

In all movies, doing mean things to male characters is all fine and dandy, and anything done to a female one, all these groups would start marching. Kind of how when male body parts are cut off by jealous gfs, the media thinks it's oh so funny. AND women get away with hitting men and if a man hits back, people say it's oh so wrong. Maybe the women should have self control in the first place. (no I haven't hit women. I will if one ever hits me, though. :p)

Yes it is a jerk move. But I still find it funny. If I was picked up while I was sleeping, I would definitely wake up. Not sure how he didn't wake up after that first prank.

The gag was that since Morty was a deep sleeper, they could move his bed with him in it and he wouldn't know about it until he woke up. The final one was probably done by all the CIT's as a final gag.

You're all missing something here.....believe it or not, it was Tripper's way of showing Morty his "love" for him.

We males often have trouble expressing our (positive) feelings about others, especially when they are males (and even more so, males in positions of 'authority'), but by doing something like this he was demonstrating to Morty (someone considered the "enemy", by his underling C.I.T.'s) his 'acceptance', by caring enough to mess with him in the first place.

I know.....it sounds absolutely stupid, but that is EXACTLY how (many) men operate.

Think about it.....you usually don't go to such lengths to screw with someone if you have absolutely no feelings for them. No, if you have no use for a person, you would normally just ignore them, and interact with them only when necessary, expending as little energy as possible simply because you just don't care enough to do anything more.

By pranking Morty, it was his (admittedly childish) way of including the "boss" in their fun.....
