Ricky ritual
"ricky ritual" is the third installment of the Ricky War series and part of its main continuity. It has a duration of 6 minutes and 19 seconds, the third-longest video in the series, and was published on February 21st, 2022. In this video, Big T returns to battle the members of Ricky Defense and Ricky escapes the Between.
Plot
The video begins with a point-of-view from Ricky, who is still wandering down a dark gravel road. He finds an abandoned Subway wrapper, but when he briefly walks away and returns, two Hill People have gathered to hop around it. When they take notice of Ricky, one wearing a blue GAP hoodie begins to aggressively run toward and snarl at him. He begins to run toward a light, but is obstructed by the other Hill Person holding a gun and he flees another direction. He slows down as the scene fades to black, and then to an evening sunset.
In the following scene, members of Ricky Defense stand in a grassy field adjusting and sharpening weapons for war. As the camera pans back toward the sun, it fades into white and into another scene. The camera zooms away from the headlights of a car, with Big T and assumed members of Ricky Attack standing by. Then, Ricky Defense charges over the hills, armed and ready to ambush Big T. He fends them off with a large wooden staff, outnumbered but still putting up a fight. However, a Ricky Defense mage sips from a can of elixir and obliterates Big T with an orb of dark magic that conjures an explosion. On the verge of defeat, he desperately claws at the snowy ground while his car's headlights blink. He then swiftly stands up, retreating briefly by running away.
After the victory of Ricky Defense, everyone is gathered around indoors. This includes Ricky, who was brought back through a successful ritual. Everyone looks down upon the camera, chanting "developers" and making bizarre faces and movements while revolving around and stepping over the camera. Meanwhile, Big T is standing by in the stairwell, appearing defeated but participating in the ritual in some capacity. Soon after, it cuts to a new scene where everyone is outside again surrounding a bottle of Milkis, chanting "Ricky". He takes a violent drink from the bottle, as the chants grow more aggressive and the video abruptly cuts out.
Trivia
- During filming, some crucial scenes were accidentally not recorded. This includes an instance of Big T pouring the Milkis onto himself, and more of the ritual that brought Ricky back to the surface realm.
- The developers chant is a reference to Steve Ballmer repeating the word "developers" during a .NET Conference.
