| ~ Rick ranting at Morty in the Season 6 finale. |
Richard Daniel "Rick" Sanchez, categorized as Earth Rick Sanchez C-137 by other Ricks, is one of the two titular main protagonists (alongside Morty Smith) of the science fiction adult animated comedy series Rick and Morty.
He is the adoptive grandfather of Summer and Morty Smith, the widower of Diane Sanchez, the adoptive father of Beth Sanchez-Smith and her space counterpart, the father-in-law of Jerry Smith, and the sworn archenemy of Morty's true grandfather, Rick Prime.
He is an extremely immoral and reckless alcoholic genius who constantly places his family, especially his grandson Morty, in dangerous situations while looking down on others, especially his son-in-law. However, his nihilistic self-destructiveness was all caused by the tragic death of his original family at Rick Prime's hands.
He was voiced by the series co-creator Justin Roiland from seasons 1 to 6, who voiced Morty Smith and other variants of Rick in the same show, as well as the Earl of Lemongrab in Adventure Time and Blendin Blandin in Gravity Falls. From season 7 onwards, he is voiced by Ian Cardoni.
Personality[]
| “ | Well, he's not a villain, Summer, but... he shouldn't be your hero. He's more like a demon or a—super f*cked-up god. | „ |
| ~ Morty on Rick's Nature |
Rick's personality is overall complicated. It is shown he suffers intense trauma, self-loathing and loneliness, having hailed from a reality where Diane and Beth his wife and daughter were murdered by a alternate version of himself named Rick Prime. For decades Rick was consumed by vengeance but ultimately failed to find and kill the version of himself that took their lives. Rick tried to wall of his past and move on by moving into a reality where Beth is an adult and began living with her and her family. However, despite his efforts to forget and live a happy life he knows he still didn’t get closure he needed and deep down is unable to put the past behind him, so he copes with his depression through abuse of substances and destructive tendencies.
Rick is incredibly paranoid, sardonic, revolutionary, cold, grumpy, nihilistic, violent, reckless, destructive, anarchic, fatalistic, selfish, narcissistic and blunt. These traits are more acute when he is intoxicated, as after getting drunk enough he is partially-asleep and acting crazier than usual. He has often displayed a more laid-back, carefree and over-rationalized approach to life compared to most, something that makes him rightfully appear apathetic and indifferent.
While he cares very little for anyone, including himself, he does genuinely love most of his family and the closest friends from his rebellion days despite the typical attitudes he shows them. He very rarely treats anyone with slight-to-moderate decency, respect or politeness, specializing in belittling, taunting or putting down others and throwing his unwanted two-cents in. One of the few things that really makes Rick lose his temper are the theft of his works, having harm come to his family and friends and double-crossing him; strangely enough he rarely holds grudges for specific actions, even the aforementioned ones.
Rick's moral standing is even more complex. He will not hesitate in breaking laws to get what he wants, although he has no problem staying within legal boundaries if to his benefit. However, Rick does seem to be sickened by unnecessary violence, though he will usually not attempt to stop it. He noticeably lacks a firm moral compass in all situations. Because of his dislike for work, Rick had no formal occupation. Most of his vehicles and workshops were self-powered and he typically retrieved anything using his portal gun. However, when money was needed Rick would act as a paid hunter, take advantage of opportunities or sell his creations to those willing to buy.
The only aspects of Rick relatable to most is that he acknowledges people's consent and usually does not resort to double-crossing himself. According to alternate versions from other dimensions, Rick sits roughly in the middle of his counterparts in terms of good and evil and is possibly one of the only surviving Ricks to actually care about his loved ones as people and not just tools.
Rick has a relatively negative and gray view of life and lacks religious tendencies. Despite having met and defeated supernatural beings, he is an admitted agnostic and atheist who denies the existence of any higher power. He does manage to enjoy himself every now and then, particularly with his family and friends. Despite this, not even they are safe from his habitual reproach upon the mistakes and shortcomings of others, which he doles out in a quasi- or pseudo-cathartic manner.
The behaviors listed above left their impacts as seen with almost every version of his family: Beth shows a reluctant idolization, devotion and admiration stemming from an overall lack of presence, which leads to her vehemently coming to his aid at the expense of her family life; Jerry dislikes Rick as much as Rick does him while unsuccessfully convincing his wife to focus on more important things; Summer is exasperated and embarrassed with her family and especially her mother for imitating her grandfather; and Morty is forced to endure things that sorely test his own sense of morality and ethics on a regular basis, leaving him increasingly embittered towards Rick and with a growing cynicism of his own.
He drinks heavily and is never completely sober, speaking in burps and usually carrying a flask with him. His most villainous activities seem to happen when he is intoxicated.
Background[]
While most of Rick's childhood remains a mystery, it's clear he always loved science and engineering, being able to rewire and fix a television around the age of 12. It is also implied that he had a bad relationship with his father.
A decade or two later, Rick married a woman named Diane and had a daughter named Beth. Rick also started a career as a independent scientist.
When Beth was a child, Rick noticed nigh-psychosis in her when she asked him to build things with disturbing implicated uses. To protect the neighborhood and hopefully not have to clean up his daughter's messes, he created an imaginary world she played in until one of her friends named Tommy Lipkip came along and got lost thanks to her stranding him out of jealousy, which unfortunately resulted in his father Joseph Lipkip somehow being convicted of cannibalizing his own son.
One day while he was struggling to invent teleportation, he was visited by an alternate version of himself named Rick Prime who offered him the ability to travel to different realities and explore the multiverse, but unlike his other counterparts Rick casually refused the offer thinking it was a lonely and unfulfilling life without his family. However his alternate self did not share the same sentiment and was confused and disgusted at the idea of a Rick valuing their family over themselves but Rick nonchalantly responded by saying that maybe he was a different kind of Rick. Angry and offended the alternate Rick left saying “We’ll see about that”.
Soon after, Rick told Diane that he would quit science and devote all of his time to his family before deciding to get ice cream with her and Beth. As Rick waited in the car for Diane and Beth, they walked out of the house to meet him when Rick Prime sent a bomb through a portal, killing Diane and Beth much to Rick’s shock and turmoil. For a while, Rick fell into a deep depression spending countless hours watching television and eating pizza until he finally came up with the resolve to create his own inter-dimensional portal gun in the hopes of getting revenge on Rick Prime who murdered his family. He also created an A.I system with the voice and personality of Diane, which would act as assistant in his quest as well as a "ghost" that would "haunt" him by mocking him for failing to save his family and find their killer, Rick presumably did this to motivate himself on his quest and to punish himself for his failures.
At one point he was part of a band and later an intergalactic terrorist group with several of his closest friends, including Squanchy and Birdperson, fighting to overthrow the oppressively totalitarian Galactic Federation despite its caring and friendly facade. Birdperson and Rick would team up at the battle of blood ridge to stop the Federation although they were victorious Rick suggested that they travel the multiverse together on his quest but Birdperson refused as he still needed to stop the Federation. Rick then left angrily creating a slight rift in their relationship.
Over the decades, Rick would kill any alternate version of himself hoping that they were the Rick he was looking for he would do this time and time again as well as chase a lead to a secret organization of Ricks, believing he might find him there. Despite his tireless efforts he never found the one who killed his family. This ironically enough led to Rick becoming a lonely, alcoholic, nihilistic depressed sociopath like almost every counterpart of himself but to an even greater level. Eventually, other Ricks took notice of the threat he posed and banded together to stop him, but before they could all attack him Rick ambushed them and managed to kill almost all of them and thus they all surrendered out of fear and accepted him as the “Rickest Rick”. He finally got rid of them by helping the Council of Ricks build the Citadel of Ricks a safe haven where Ricks from various reality could all hide from the Galactic Federation he also helped build the Central Finite Curve a system that separates all the universes where Rick is the smartest man alive from the rest of the multiverse. However he refused to join them himself seeing their idea of creating a government going against the core values and beliefs that all Ricks stand by.
Eventually Rick decided to move into Rick Prime's home dimension after the latter left them twenty years ago, he figured if he stayed his counterpart would eventually return so he can kill him. While there he settled on living with Rick Prime's version of his daughter Beth and learned about the conception of his granddaughter Summer and apparently being present for the birth and early years of his grandson Morty. During this time and previously, Rick was prone to repeatedly jumping through spatial and dimensional barriers, traveling to alien worlds or other unusual places in order to collect materials needed for his experiments and gadgets or make money by doing shady business. His grandchildren were quickly recruited to help him; although appalled at first they became corrupted by Rick, adopting aspects of his callous and violent persona.
During this period they managed to decimate at least one version of Earth, nearly cause interplanetary chaos multiple times, take down groups such as the Federation and Council of Ricks and even briefly caused the divorce of Beth from the insecure Jerry, who Rick never approved of and constantly degraded, to which he would blatantly point out his father-in-law's toxic presence despite Beth's attempts at defending her father.
Equipment[]
Being a scientist and inventor among other things Rick both makes and buys an extensive and vast arsenal of various weapons, gadgets, vehicles and other creations, having something for just about any occasion. However, there are a few things he usually keeps with him more often. Most of the items he uses are sophisticated Rube Goldberg machines, something pointed out more than a few times.
- Portal Gun
Rick's most infamous and coveted invention the portal gun creates a green portal that allows him and others to instantly travel to any part of a universe and other dimensions. Because of this Rick is incredibly difficult to capture or track down. The gun could also be used as a makeshift weapon if needed; opening portals inside objects would slice them in half, they could have something come out of them into the paths of pursuers or others could be transported elsewhere and the gun could be overloaded to produce a black hole-like explosion. Rick, his counterparts and Evil Morty are the only beings who possess and could make a portal gun.
- Spaceship
A ship shaped like a flying saucer that is the typical form of transportation for Rick in space. It is powered by a small universe full of slaves and has numerous weapons, gadgets and a semi-sentient onboard computer; it is implied the ship has enough armaments to wipe out a large human army without trouble. It also has an unnecessarily cruel and brutal security system which uses various forms of horrific torture involving both mental and bodily harm. Unfortunately, Rick seems to put very little effort into cleaning it, and the interior is always cluttered with junk. A "running gag" in the series occurs whenever somone opens one of the doors - either to enter or exit it - and empty liquor bottles fall onto the ground as a result.
- Blaster
Rick is often seen carrying alien or homemade sidearms when violence is needed.
- Pelvis Gun
It's exactly what it sounds like expect that it's a laser gun instead of a normal gun.
- Pistol
- Fore Field generators
- Portable turrets
| “ | The President: Don't tell me what I want you anti-American piece of shit! You terrorist! Rick Sanchez: You know, you use that word so much it's lost all meaning, Mr. P. It's like, at this point, what's a terrorist? It's a guy you don't like. Big deal. |

Villainous Acts[]
- Kept his neighborhood in a repeating loop reliving the death of Beth and Diane.
- Killed numerous versions of himself while searching for the Rick that killed his family.
- Helped build the Citadel with the Ricks who will eventually become Council of Ricks and established the Central Finite Curve, a portion of the multiverse where Ricks are always the smartest beings. This will also trigger a domino effect where most versions of Beth and Jerry across the Central Finite Curve are manipulated into falling in love and having Summer and Morty, due to Morty's unique brainwaves hiding Ricks from their other enemies.
- Eventually infiltrated Rick Prime's dimension in order to kill him if he arrives at the dimension, fooling Beth of that universe into believing he's her actual father.
- In the middle of the night, Rick got drunk and built a neutrino bomb to destroy the world; however, Morty stopped him and Rick claimed it was all a test. He later froze Morty's bully Frank Palicky which caused him to shatter in front of Summer who had a crush on him. He then had Morty painfully smuggle Mega Seeds from another dimension's planet inside his rectum; when this failed due to Interdimensional Customs attempting to commence a scan with new equipment, he had Morty run to a portal machine and shoot several Gromflomites after inadvertently making him think they were literal robots. After buttering up Morty's parents to let him stay Rick claimed to Morty that school was a waste of time and lied about Frank's death to Summer's face. In fact, because he frequently pulled Morty out he had spent only seven hours in two months of a semester at school.
- Bird Person claimed that he and Rick had committed atrocities in their effort to overthrow the Federation but did not give the details. In addition, the President claims that Rick and Morty break a thousand federal laws a day.
- Rick likely traumatized America, if not half the world by enlarging a dead naked Reuben in space to enlarge a shrunken Morty and Annie; he reshrunk Annie even though Morty had fallen in love with her.
- He tricked the Zigerians and their leader Prince Nebulon into blowing themselves up with what they believed to be the formula for concentrated dark matter following his and Jerry's escape from an overwhelmed simulation. He later threatened Morty in bed with a knife while drunk again to see if he was still part of a simulation.
- Rick had shot and killed King Jellybean after learning he tried to rape Morty.
- Rick told Morty that his parents' marriage was hanging by a thread. He had also shown disdain for Jerry because he impregnated Beth with Summer when the two were in high school during a prom night. Rick made a huge mistake by giving Morty a serum to make his crush Jessica love him because a flu epidemic made the serum spread through Morty's school and everywhere else (sans the direct relatives of Morty's family). He tried to fix it using mantis DNA but made things worse and transformed nearly everyone on Earth into mantis-human hybrids that wanted to mate with and then eat Morty. He used various DNA samples in one final serum but instead turned nearly everyone on Earth into horrible mutations called Cronenbergs. The mess was seemingly irreversible so Rick went with Morty to another universe where they both died from an unfinished experiment after supposedly finding the real cure; Rick implicitly admitted doing it several times before. Morty was traumatized over this catastrophe while Rick didn't (seem to) care about him and his grandson digging their own graves.
- Rick started a store called Curse Purge Plus! solely to anger Summer and Lucius Needful and destroy their business. He laughed when Summer stated his actions drove Lucius to attempt suicide and lit his store on fire with people inside when he grew bored of it. After Lucius inevitably betrayed Summer and took their website n33dful.com for himself, she and Rick worked out while using steroids, became extremely muscular and brutalized Lucius and other mean-spirited people.
- He assaulted several members of the Council after being accused of killing other Ricks and kidnapping their Mortys. He also revealed to his Morty that all Mortys were actually meant to serve as human cloaking devices disguising the intellect of their Ricks.
- He sent Morty, Abradolf Lincler and Nancy out to get Kalaxian Crystals on an unknown planet. After Morty and Nancy returned, Rick didn't care about how Lincler appeared to have died during the mission, since he wanted to use the crystals as another substance to Morty's confusion and anger. At the end of the episode Rick froze time so Beth and Jerry wouldn't realize the party destroyed the house and he and his grandchildren proceeded to cause mayhem without consequences.
- It was established that at some point, Rick stole a Time Crystal from the Fourth Dimension which caught the attention of interdimensional law enforcement officer Shleemypants. He, Summer and Morty defeated him by creating multiple overlapping fractured timelines to beat him up in and killing his living weapon Chris.
- He sold an antimatter weapon to Krombopulos Michael and used the alien currency Flurbos to play at the space arcade Blips and Chitz; when Morty prevented Michael from fulfilling his contract by accidentally running him over with the spaceship Rick berated him for killing him and saving the target, a cloud of psychic gas dubbed Fart and suggested finishing what the late assassin started multiple times. When the ship's mechanic Gearhead notified authorities, Rick clogged his mouth with sticks and shoved his "gearsticles" into his face. He later assisted in destroying their pursuers and referred to Morty's name as a replacement word for "shit".
- After being dumped for good by his hive mind ex-girlfriend Unity following her realization of his toxic nature, Rick unfroze an infantile alien creature he kept in the garage and disintegrated it before attempting to disintegrate his head, although he failed in doing so due to passing out from intoxication. He later attempted to confront Unity alongside an oblivious Morty after she barricaded herself in a fortress with fellow hive mind Beta-Seven, mostly refusing to leave even after being threatened with destruction. In a separate instance Jerry and Beth discovered he was keeping an alien prisoner named Blim-Blam beneath the garage to study and patent the cure for its rare disease.
- Although intending to save the world from the Cromulons, Rick broke into the Pentagon and turned two federal agents into snakes with a watch when they approached him. At the end of the episode he did the same thing to General Nathan and killed him afterwards, although the latter was attempting to shoot him, Morty and the President.
- Rick built and enslaved an entire miniature universe to power his vehicle's battery, setting back its technological progression once the inhabitants found a way to generate their own electricity through the work of his contemporary and counterpart Zeep Xanflorp. When they went into Zeep's miniature universe and that universe's own miniature universe, he and Zeep squabbled after getting stranded to Morty's frustration; Rick revealed the actual purpose of the first miniature universe to Zeep's horror. After they escaped with Morty he then fought Zeep and destroyed the second miniature universe. Before this, he engaged an elaborate defense protocol on his vehicle that killed, injured and/or traumatized many people, including his own granddaughter.
- After transporting his mind from his Tiny Rick body back into his original body due to the toll inhabiting a younger version of himself took on him, Rick decided to abandon his Operation Phoenix and brutally murdered his clones with an axe in front of his grandchildren. Beforehand he killed the newest teacher at Morty's school for being a vampire.
- Rick took enjoyment in murdering numerous Cat People when they tried to attack him, Morty and a Cat Person named Arthricia during a The Purge-style event on another world, telling Morty they were justified due to trying to save an innocent girl; he even had his family send advanced equipment to increase their effectiveness in combat. He and Arthricia also killed the higher-class Cat People for orchestrating the event in the first place and cursed her for shooting him in the liver when she took his vehicle with the intent of eliminating her world's rulers.
- When Birdperson's wedding to Tammy Guetermann went sour after Tammy revealed herself to be an undercover Federation agent and seemingly killed her husband, Rick fled with his family and berated his grandchildren for helping convince him to go along.
- Rick intended to take over his clan by getting rid of Jerry, hoping Beth would choose to divorce him. Rick did so because he felt betrayed since Jerry tried to turn him in to the Federation first so Rick wanted to get rid of both of them. This later led to Jerry suffering an unemployed, low-class single life in a rundown condo. He also virtually eliminated both the Federation and Council, causing her divorce.
- Rick took his grandkids with him to a post-apocalyptic dimension as a way of dealing with their parents' divorce; while Summer ruthlessly murdered people Rick got Morty involved in a fighting arena by injecting him with the muscle memories of a dead villager nicknamed Armothy. Rick later helped his grandchildren fight off and kill the dimension's inhabitants and forced Morty to drown the slave trader responsible for Armothy's demise by assisting in his murder.
- Rick tried to get out of family therapy sessions ordered by his grandchildren's school by turning himself into the form of a talking pickle named Pickle Rick or Solen'ya and convincing Beth he was trying something new. After getting lost in the local drainage systems he killed multiple sewer rats using a suit crafted out of rat and cockroach body parts. He soon engaged in a battle of wits with a European terrorist organization's agency director, murdering most of his employees with improvised weapons and the director himself with a cache of set explosives after befriending a prisoner named Jaguar. He later outright stated his reasons for avoiding therapy to his family's therapist Doctor Wong, saying he didn't respect people such as her.
- Rick felt jealous about Morty idolizing the superhero group the Vindicators so he went out for a drink to pull himself together. However, this caused Rick to become completely intoxicated, resulting in a more sinister version of himself called Drunk Rick; he thus wound up being the main antagonist of the episode alongside Supernova. This led to him setting up a dangerous Jigsaw-esque game he, Morty and the Vindicators ended up in after he killed their greatest enemy Worldender and resulted in the Vindicators, except for Supernova being destroyed after infighting and personal breakdowns. After Morty solved the puzzles, he received another message from Drunk Rick intended for Noob-Noob, the only one to laugh at his jokes, rather than Morty to the latter's outrage; adding insult to injury he forgot about Noob-Noob and allowed Supernova to escape.
- Rick decided to take Jerry on his next adventure since Morty was worried his father might eventually commit suicide; after realizing Jerry accepted a deal from assassins led by Risotto Groupon to have him destroyed on the Whirly Dirly ride, Rick felt betrayed yet again and left him to be eaten by an alien snake after they accidentally deactivated and brought down the surrounding immortality field. Groupon had told Jerry the story of how he and his kingdom were overthrown by aliens using technology sold by Rick, who then playfully reminded Jerry of his breakup with Beth following the collapse of the Federation and Council, which goaded him into going on the ride in the first place. When Jerry scolded Rick for stealing the family calling him a "self-righteous piece of shit", Rick volleyed back letting Jerry know he was "a predator" who used his cowardice and pitiful ways to make others feel sorry for him, like when he got Beth pregnant with Summer at 17 years of age causing her to give up her life goals. Rick rescued Jerry only because he needed organic bait to have an alien creature take them back to the resort they had left. He later blasted Groupon who attempted to kill him and spare Jerry before they were caught up in hallucinations from a spaceship's energies which made Groupon question his actions.
- Rick killed an alien baby.
- Rick erased Morty's memories of him screwing up so he continued to appear infallible in Morty's eyes; Morty's discovery of this resulted in a brawl that ended with both their memories wiped clean before Summer restored them. He and Morty later got angry at Summer for supposedly letting them fall asleep during Interdimensional Cable.
- He showed Beth the imaginary world he created for her when she was younger, describing his actions being done for the safety of their neighborhood. When Beth questioned her purpose in existing, Rick offered to make a realistic clone of her while she left to travel beyond her home without the rest of her family's knowledge. He later left Jerry a voicemail message saying he had intercourse with his ex-girlfriend Keara following her breakup with Jerry and her next boyfriend Carmox's death at Rick's hands.
- He and Morty cut all ties relating to the President, to which war was declared on them. He single-handedly killed several government Secret Service agents without even touching them and several more using his gadgets; he requested a selfie from the President himself and got into a battle after he refused. He later stated he would have attempted to kill Jerry with a loaded gun after he and Beth reconciled.
- Rick revealed that he doesn't save the Earth out of genuine concern, instead only saving it because moving to a new one was, in his own words, a "bitch and a half".
- He had everyone at Heist-Con steal it to get back at Miles Knightly for stealing something he wanted, which resulted in rabid attendees tearing Knightly limb from limb. He and Heistotron then engaged in a heist-off and spent the entire episode out-heisting one another; however, the whole thing was a complicated scheme that convinced Morty to give up on pitching a heist movie to Netflix.
- He and Morty virtually destroyed the alien civilization Glorzo twice, once after killing the facehuggers possessing them, devastating multiple buildings and enacting their planet's version of Pearl Harbor, and again after trying to escape with Summer by using Morty's harmonica to send them back to their primitive state.
- Attempted to betray Mr. Nimbus to gain superiority over him.
- Helps the assassination of the original GoTron users all so that the allied Ricks and their families get to use them.
- Betrays his family one-by-one after he decides to expands his GoGoGoTron.
- Brought Mr. Frundles to his dimension despite knowing its dangers, leading to the planet's end when Season 2 Jerry ends up releasing it.
- Killed the incarnations of him and Morty that appeared in Space Jam - A New Legacy.
- Rick visited a dimension in which people turn into spaghetti after committing suicide. He brought some of the spaghetti home to eat it with his family.
- Dug up Ben Franklin and buried him in a Pet Sematary, resulting in him awakening as a zombie. He did it again, this time covering him up in foil, resulting in the body being cooked.
- Placed a bet on Morty that he wouldn't clean an alien gorilla's nose with his tongue. Morty was forced to do so under the belief that it would save the universe, resulting in Rick winning the bet.
- Gave Morty various guns but wasn't clear on what they actually did. This included:
- A gorilla gun. Morty used it on a school bully, in the hopes that it would turn him into a gorilla. However, this did not happen, and, due to the size and power of the bullet, the bully ended up in a full body cast, a back-brace and a wheelchair.
- A "bully gun". When confronted by another school bully, he used the gun on himself, in hopes of turning into a bully himself. However, the gun burned a hole in him, killing him. Rick used a serum to resurrect him.
- A normal gun. Rick gave Morty a normal gun. When Morty and Jessica were threatened by a mugger, Morty fired the gun at him. The gun fired a disgusting growth that grew into a clone of famous serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer.
- Rick brought a churro to life to serve as a friend for Morty. When Morty tired of his new friend, Churry, he and Rick abandoned him on a barren planet, under the guise that his real family was there. When Churry discovered the truth, he swore revenge and even sent Morty a threatening message at school.

| ~ Rick to Jerry. |
| “ | I took your family? Who do you think had taken more from them when you shot 20 CCs of liquid dreamkiller into my daughter? She was Rick's daughter, Jerry! She had options! That all ended because she felt sorry for you. You act like prey, but you're a predator! You use pity to lure in your victims! That's how you survive! I survive cause I know everything, that snake survives because children wander off, and you survive 'cause people think "Oh, this poor piece of shit, he never gets a break! I can't stand the deafening silent wails of his wilting soul! I guess I'll hire him or marry him!" | „ |
| ~ Rick giving his dismissive views to Jerry. |
| “ | There he is, there's our guy! Congrats, Tony! Have fun with your stupid toilet that you get to use all by yourself now! Enjoy using it all by yourself while you sit there and think about how nobody wants to be around you, and how you ruin it for yourself because you're a huge piece of sh*t! Look at you sitting there, King SHIT on his throne of loneliness! Enjoy this toilet with a thousand of me screaming every time you take a shit! All hail his majesty, the saaaaaaddest piece of garbage in the entire cosmos! Long live the big bad doo-doo daddy! May his reign last a thousand years! | „ |
| ~ Rick's recording meant for Tony, but played to Rick himself. |
| “ | You think the concept of Family matters to me, I'm Not even your Rick! | „ |
| ~ Rick pointing out to his Family. |
| “ | And that's the end of the Morty-gets-a-dragon episode. (Summer: Are you gonna slay it?) First off, I always slay it, queen. Secondly, yes. |
„ |
| ~ Rick planning to slay Balthromaw. |
| “ | You don't know what I am!! And you don't know what I can do! I'm Doctor Who in this motherf*****! I could be a clone! I could be a hologram! We could be clones controlled by robots controlled by special headsets that the real Rick and Morty are wearing while they're f****** your mother!!' | „ |
| ~ Rick to a General in the White House. |
| “ | Oh shit! Rick and Two Crows! Kicking off my new franchise! The galaxy is our telephone wire! We'll do a thousand seasons, fourteen episodes each night, nine seconds a pop, because that's the future of viewing! Shows on your shoes! Sneakies! That's when you've got everybody's attention, when they're putting crap on their feet! That's when they wanna laugh, cry or feel anything besides a shoe going on their foot! Watch sitcoms on your sneakers! The Rick and Two Crows Show! We're gonna be laying... laying walnuts on the road for... car tires to open 'em! Y'know what I mean? Forever! Rick and Two Crows, forever! | „ |
| ~ Rick deciding to adventure with the Two Crows. |
| “ | You dumb f***** Robot. | „ |
| ~ Rick seeing his Robotic Doppelgänger had failed to keep Morty at bays of his Revenge towards Rick Prime. |
| “ | Welcome to my darkness: I spent my life hunting this guy, Morty! This is the closest I've ever been to catching Rick Prime! It's impossible! He's an incredibly crafty piece of s**t!. Hunting him destroyed me, Morty! But now we're gonna do it together! You and me! It's going to take over your life, Morty! Rick and Morty Season 7: hunting my nemesis! Maybe trying to stay healthy while doing it, juggling plates, not every episode, Morty! It could be all happening in the background, who knows? You know n-no one will except us! It's the most painful s**t I've ever had to deal with, and I'm f*****g bringing you into it because you asked for it, Morty! You and me, Morty! | „ |
| ~ Rick's third rant to Morty in the Season 6 finale, that they would be spending season 7 hunting down Rick Prime. |
Trivia[]
- Although his actions affect Earth and the universe multiple times, he somehow manages to evade authorities or keep them ignorant about his activities. The only authorities that actually tried to grab him by the throat were the Federation and Citadel.
- In The Rickchurian Mortydate the President explained that the government avoid trying to arrest Rick and Morty because they have saved the world on numerous occasions.

- Rick sometimes shows apathy towards his family, as Beth stated in The ABCs of Beth she is one of infinite Beths in the multiverse.
