10 Funniest Rick And Morty Moments
The smartest animated series on TV is also often the funniest as well.
Humour is a very subjective thing. What may make one person break down into torrents of tearful laughter may make another sit stone-faced. That's why some people love the Three Stooges while others are into Monty Python and yet others enjoy quiet, gentle humour like Garrison Keillor.
Which is why it's difficult to pin down a list of funniest Rick and Morty moments, because the show provides all of these kinds of humour, and more.
Slapstick? Check. Gory slapstick? Check. Clever wordplay? Check. Running gags? Check. Throwaway background jokes? Check.
The moments on this list were compiled by looking at the most highly rated R&M episodes, as well as checking highly replayed scenes on various platforms. Will anyone find it to be the perfect list? Probably not, as Rick and Morty fans are a passionate, dedicated lot with very strong opinions about the show and its culture (see the Szechuan sauce riots of 2017). In fact, this list could probably be 50 or 100 funny moments and still not nail everything.
The 10 selections on the list, do, however, all provide laugh out loud moments from the four seasons of Rick and Morty. And, really, at the end of it, isn't that the point of the show? To make us laugh?
Because if we can't have that, the alternative is that none of us exist on purpose, none of us belong anywhere, and that we're all going to diel
10. Rick Mathematically Proves Morty And Summer Are Pieces Of S**t - A Rickle In Time
In the Season 2 premiere, having spent several months with time frozen so they could clean the house after a mega-party, Rick, Morty, and Summer are faced with two separate realities that play out at the same time before having to deal with, eventually, dozens of them.
Rick, as usual putting himself at the centre of the proceedings, decides to take this opportunity to let Morty and Summer know that, despite however much they vie for his attention, he views them both the same way, as pieces of s**t. Not only that, but he decides this would be a good time to lay out for the siblings exactly what he means.
What follows is a very funny, if insulting, take down of Summer and Morty and their faults as they sit in front of him, classroom lecture style. Rick does so while accompanied by a large whiteboard that illustrates in marker exactly how the kids (who are drawn with small brains) relate to Rick (who is drawn with a large brain).
Why either Rick or Summer would have any loyalty to Rick after this is almost beyond comprehension; then he goes and potentially sacrifices himself for Morty at the episode's end.
The man is a conflicted genius.
