Fans of the hit animated series Rick and Morty have expressed their surprise after a joke about the coronavirus pandemic made it into the latest episode.
The episode, entitled “Never Ricking Morty”, features a scene in which Morty (voiced by Justin Roiland) says he wants to buy a train.
Chris Parnell, who voices Jerry on the series, even remarked to Games Radar that he had not known about the joke before the episode aired.
The dialogue was likely just added to pre-existing animation within the last several weeks, through a process called post-synchronisation.
