WATCH: Rick & Morty cross paths with Alien in this funny short

Rory Cashin

Having already wound up in The Simpsons universe, we guess it was really only a matter of time before this happened.

In a previous episode, Rick advises his grandson that it is always worthwhile checking out distress signals in deep space because more often than not, it means you’ll stumble across a ship full of dead folk and you can just take all their stuff.

Also, facehuggers are worth A LOT of money, apparently. We’re guessing Weyland-Yutani are still in the market for them, even in Rick and Morty’s universe.

Anyways, here the duo happen across the Engineer’s ship in deep space, and Morty forces Rick to go down to help the people on board.

When they get there, it looks like everything has already ended, until a facehugger pops up out and nowhere and, well, you can see for yourself…

Still no confirmed date for the third season arrival of Rick & Morty yet – despite having spent all of April Fool’s Day playing out the first episode – but Alien: Covenant is in your local cinema right now.
