Rick & Morty: 10 Characters You Forgot Existed

10. Toxic Rick

We'll start this list off with a character that, while they got an episode almost entirely to themselves, seems to have faded into obscurity when it comes to the series.

A common theme in Rick and Morty, one in which a borderline scary amount of its audience still seems to not grasp, is that Rick is a bad guy. Toxic if you will, which the episode "Rest and Ricklaxation" does will by involving a character literally named Toxic Rick. A bit on the nose? Maybe, but sometimes you have to yell to get people to listen.

Toxic Rick is actually no different from regular Rick, the only difference is that he is more open and unapologetic in his loud, belligerent, and abusive behavior. The key to his character though is that he is straight up just Rick, but cranked up to eleven.

Rather than being a separate entity, Toxic Rick is just Rick with even less of a filter and more of an attitude. Even then however, Toxic Rick somehow manages to have more humanity, through his love of Morty, than normal Rick.
