Rick & Morty: 9 Times Rick Was Uncharacteristically Stupid
2. He Tried To Blow Up Humanity
At this point, after almost ten years of getting to know Rick Sanchez, fans know that he has the capability to do pretty much anything he wants. He is an incredibly dangerous man at the best of times, but this gets even worse when he gets drunk.
Just to impress Morty, he built a bomb and put the Vindicators through a series of potentially world-ending scenarios while wasted, but this is nothing compared to the very first scene of the show. He grabbed Morty in the middle of the night, and had every intention of bombing the entire world.
His plan was to use a neutrino bomb he had built and decimate the planet, allowing for a fresh start with Morty and Jessica as the new Adam and Eve. At least he gave the Vindicators a chance to earn their lives back, whereas everyone on the planet has Morty to thank for snapping his Grandpa out of it.
There were so many things wrong with his plan, aside from it being mass genocide of seven billion people. The new Adam and Eve simply wouldn’t have worked, and Rick is very vocal about his atheism, so why would he even try and replicate the Bible anyway?
