Rick & Morty: 9 Times Rick Was Uncharacteristically Stupid

9. He Let His Guard Down At Birdperson's Wedding

Rick's relationship with Beth's mom, and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and his return have been shrouded in mystery since the beginning of the series. There are fan theories galore surrounding the subject, but all that can be said for certain is that Rick came out the other side with a certain disdain for marriage.

He showed as much when he and the Smith family were invited to Birdperson and Tammy's melding ceremony on Planet Squanch. However, he was too focused on his journey from believing he was losing his best friend to opening himself up to the idea to stop and actually think.

Birdperson and Rick made themselves many enemies over their years as friends, and found themselves labelled terrorists by the Galactic Government. They were living their lives in hiding, yet when Birdperson invited 17 of the Federation's most wanted to the same place, bringing them all together and out into the open, Rick didn't even think about the danger that put them in.

Rick can hardly be blamed for not knowing Tammy was a deep cover operative, but he should have had his guard up while on a strange planet surrounded by all of his terrorist friends.
