Despite all the problems with its fandom,Rick and Morty remains one of the near unique animated serial to come out in the final decade. Almost of the credit for its popularity goes to the often-morbid humor smoothly embedded into the adventures of a maniacal grandpa and his skittish grandson.

Rick and Morty never pushes its make of one-act at viewers, but rather expresses it in a nonchalant mode. It feels like the story and its characters don't really intendance nearly how the audience is going to react: a primal element of the show'south charm. In Morty's immortal words, "Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die. Come up watch Boob tube."

ten Beth — "I Squanch My Family."

Rick with his family — Rick and Morty

The family are invited to Birdperson's wedding with Tammy, which includes a number of Rick's friends and allies. Amidst them is Squanchy, an eccentric true cat-animate being with a penchant for replacing nouns, verbs, and other parts of speech with his name.

Beth wonders if repeating a single word in dissimilar scenarios might "go tedious and worn out," to which Rick responds that "it is more than contextual than literal." Yet, when Beth tries to express her affection for her family, both Squanchy and Rick are stunned by her use of "squanch," implying that there is a third factor involved: tone. It's funny because nobody explains to her why it's "gross."

9 Summer — "If I Dice, Don't Swallow My A**; That'd Be Weird."

Summer yelling — Rick and Morty

Trapped on a living planet, Summer and Morty find a crashed spaceship, where they start getting high on alien brake fluid and stop upwards killing an actual thunder god.

Prior to their adventitious success, nonetheless, Summer laments that they have "no life skills" whatsoever, and tells Morty that it would "be weird" if he ate the buttocks off her corpse. This line is extra hilarious because of the bizarre visual it generates in the audition's minds.

8 Rick — "You Just Looked Right Into The Haemorrhage Jaws Of Capitalism & Said 'Yes Daddy, Please.'"

Story Train — Rick and Morty

Afterwards the conclusion of the narrative hyperloop that is Story Train, the existent(?) Rick goes on a rant, claiming that Morty's "only purpose in life is to buy and consume trade," before lapsing into an uncomfortable display of amore for his grandson.

This quote's humor is powerful because it caricatures consumerism by exaggerating its merits beyond the interruption of atheism, non to mention referring to commercialism as "daddy." The latter is a whole can of worms by itself.

7 Jerry — "The Milk People Don't Have A Patent On Elementary Rhetorical Questions!"

Jerry's slogan in Rick and Morty

Like always, Jerry is blissfully unaware of the simulation he is accidentally transported into, and acts out his daily ritual as if everything is normal. For some reason, he plagiarizes the "Got Milk?" catchphrase for use on apples, which his imaginary bosses commend him for.

In an uncharacteristic turn of events, Jerry acknowledges that his "'Hungry for Apples' is just a rip-off," merely then bursts into a tirade almost "patent[s] on elementary rhetorical questions." Peak Jerry-based sense of humor has little logic backside it, simply that'due south exactly the signal.

6 Morty — "You lot Know, Yous're Really Playing With Fire When You Flare-up In Here Like That, Man."

Jerry and Morty — Rick and Morty

Jerry enters Morty'south room without knocking and finds him thou*********, although the realization doesn't sink in until his son says, "I mean, I'grand sitting in here, I'1000 14! I got a computer in here, you know!"

Jerry grasps the situation quickly plenty, but Morty stretches the awkwardness farther, forcing his father to repeatedly explicate that he gets information technology. Rick and Morty is known for extracting comedy from embarrassing circumstances, and this set of lines is a prime case.

Rick fighting with Needful — Rick and Morty

Rick is infuriated when he discovers that Summertime's employer is actually Lucifer in man disguise. He gets into a fight with Mr. Needful, but his granddaughter points out that she "like[south] working hither."

Summertime asserts that her dominate' real nature is irrelevant because he "has a job... he's active in the community," adding that her grandfather does nix more than "eat our nutrient and make gadgets." Although Rick is technically right, Summer's snarky burn is amusingly accurate.

4 Mr. Meeseeks — "We Volition Get All Strokes Off His Game... When Nosotros Kill Him!"

Mr. Meeseeks — Rick and Morty

Jerry's request—getting two strokes off his golf—prompts his Mr. Meeseeks to spawn several more of itself to assist in the seemingly incommunicable task. Information technology gets more and more stressful when Jerry makes no progress, which inadvertently tortures the Meeseekses by forcing them to stay corporeal beyond their limits.

To resolve the problem, one of them suggests that killing Jerry would be an acceptable solution. The declaration goes confronting everything the Meeseeks "species" stands for, which is why information technology sounds so hilarious.

three Jerry — "Nosotros Understand Genocide! We Do Information technology Sometimes!"

Jerry with a gun — Rick and Morty

Doctors at an alien hospital inquire Jerry's permission to reconfigure his genitals into Shrimply Pibbles' middle, since "the configuration of veins, the ratio of thickness to elasticity" are perfect for the transplant.

Jerry is naturally averse to the idea when the alien doctors begin talking about genocides on other planets. Non to exist outdone, Jerry angrily informs them his species "sympathize genocide," because they "do it sometimes!" That's his takeaway from the whole argument.

2 Many Characters — "Yous Son Of A B***h: I'grand In!"

Rick and Morty — Son of a b, I'm in

"I Flew over the Crewcoo'due south Morty" contains the most meme-worthy moments in all five seasons of Rick and Morty. It starts with an assortment of heist-related characters saying this line when Rick hires them for a chore.

However, it gets a lot more confusing when Heistotron manipulates random strangers into partaking in its heists, all of who also repeat the same assertion of agreement—a quote that throws some pretty heavy shade over the heist movie genre.

1 Rick — "First Off, I Always Slay It, Queen."

Rick talking to Summer in Rick and Morty

Morty goes on adventures with his new dragon pal, Balthromaw, who makes a cavernous burrow for himself below the Smith residence. However, a nail of fire erupts from the living room flooring, scaring Rick and Summertime who are watching Interdimensional Cable at the time.

Rick prepares to finish Balthromaw'due south life when Summertime asks him if he's "gonna slay it." His retort—"showtime off, I always slay information technology, queen"—will become down as one of the sassiest lines in the show'due south history.
