Here are top 7 best Rick and Morty quotes
1) Episode: ‘Pilot’
Rick: Listen, Jerry, I don’t want to overstep my bounds or anything. It’s your house. It’s your world. You’re a real Julius Caesar, but I will tell you some, tell you how-how I feel about school, Jerry. It’s a waste of time, a bunch of people running around, bumping into each other.
G-guy up front says, “two plus two.” The people in the back say, “four.” Then the bell rings, and they give you a carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can take a dump or something. I mean, it’s—it’s not a place for smart people, Jerry, and I know that’s not a popular opinion, but it’s my two cents on the issue.
Why: When you start watching Rick and Morty, withing a couple of minutes you will realize two things. One, Rick does not respect the standard order of our society and two, he holds us all in contempt. What at first appears to be a funny riff about outsider culture quickly becomes the foundation of the show.
2) Episode: ‘Pilot’
Child Morty Jr.: I mean, you know, I—I don’t want to shoot nobody.
Rick: They are just robots, Morty! It’s OK to shoot them! They’re robots!
Guard #1: Aah! My leg is shot off!
Guard #2: Glenn’s bleeding to death!
Child Morty Jr.: Someone call his wife and children!
Child Morty Jr.: They’re not robots, Rick!
Rick: It’s a figure of speech, Morty. They’re bureaucrats. I don’t respect them.
Why: First episode of Ricky and Morty was not the first time when Morty had to kills an innocent helping his grandpa. But it is quite sure that it would not be his last. This Rick and Morty quote serves one purpose, informing its viewers to not to believe when you see and every twist in the show will come with a dark punch.
3) Episode: ‘Lawnmower Dog’
Snuffles: Tell me, Summer, if a human was born with stumpy legs, would they breed it with another deformed human and put their children on display like the Dachshund?
Why: Rick and Morty often ask some difficult questions which usually remains unanswered. Lets’ take one of their questions, “Would our pets breed us in horrifying configurations if we were effing adorable?” The answer is undoubtedly is in affirmative.
4) Episode: ‘Anatomy Park’
Rick: Ruben’s seen some rough years, Morty. You don’t agree to get a theme park built inside you if your life is going great.
Why: You must have noticed Rick’s moral relativism throughout the entire series but this is the first time when he use people as an actual ecosystem for his experiments. As far as this episode is concerned, this line we have mentioned above is purely meant to comfort Morty’s morals, but taken as a part of the whole series it’s a hysterical example of how Rick can convince himself even the most selfish actions are for the greater good.
5) Episode: “Rick Potion #9”
Morty: Rick, what about the reality we left behind?
Rick: What about the reality where Hitler cured cancer? Just don’t think about it, Morty.
Why: Usually when a cartoon says “don’t think about it,” it’s a throwaway gag about continuity. But when it comes to Rick and Morty, this is a terrifying look into how callously Rick sees life in the rest of the multiverse. There’s always another universe if you destroy this one. Thinking about what could have been is simply a waste of time.
6) Episode: ‘Auto-Erotic Assimilation’
Summer: “Why are you fighting? Can’t you see you’re all the same?”
Morty: “Oh Summer, first race war, huh?”
Why: Sometimes the darkest jokes on Rick and Morty are just simple observations about civilization. This will make you laugh hard.
7) Episode: “Rest and Ricklaxation”
Jessica’s Friend: I want that docking kind of love. Like penis in the foreskin kind of love. Like warm…
Why: Say it loudly with an aspirational sigh and tell us you don’t want this kind of love either.
8) Episode: “Big Trouble in Little Sanchez”
Morty [to Summer]: Well then get your shit together, get it all together, and put it in a backpack, all your shit, so it’s together.
And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere, you know. Take it to the shit store and sell it, or put it in the shit museum. I don’t care what you do, you just gotta get it together.
Get your shit together.
Why: Morty is relatable here as every one of us has had the moment where we want to knock some sense into someone and tell them to gt their shit together.
9) Episode: “Rixty Minutes”
Morty: That, out there, that’s my grave.
Summer: Wait, what?
Morty: On one of our adventures, Rick and I basically destroyed the whole world, so we bailed on that reality and we came to this one, because in this one, the world wasn’t destroyed, and in this one, we were dead. So we came here and we buried ourselves, and we took their place. And every morning, Summer, I eat breakfast 20 yards away from my own rotting corpse.
Summer: So you’re not my brother?
Morty: I’m better than your brother. I’m a version of your brother you can trust when he says “Don’t run.” Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody’s gonna die. Come watch TV.
Why: Trust Morty to encase heavy life philosophy into these cavalier dialogues. This is one of the moments when Rick and Morty is not just thought-provoking but optimistic in its weird morbid way. In reality, these Rick and Morty quotes are just a reflection of real-life where we need to create a reason to exist instead of just existing.
10) Episode: “Something Ricked This Way Comes”
Butter robot: What is my purpose?
Rick: You pass butter.
Butter robot: Oh my god.
Rick: Yeah, welcome to the club, pal.
