#10: Davin “Rick Potion #9”
Davin might be a minor character, but he is one handsome horse surgeon. Since he works alongside Beth, he’s constantly hitting on her – and making Jerry jealous. Fortunately – we guess – Davin quickly falls out of love with Beth and in love with… Morty thanks to a love serum created by the youngest Smith. But don’t worry; Davin soon transforms a mantis monster due to the serum’s antidote. Jerry – naturally – sees this as his one chance, so he kills Davin with a crowbar… and a terrible joke. And, we gotta be honest: it’s really cool to see Jerry man up. It’s just too bad we don’t get to see badass Jerry again for quite some time.
#9: Krombopulos Michael “Mortynight Run”
Most contract killers keep their chosen profession hush-hush. But this alien assassin’s a bit of an oddball, what with his business cards, social media accounts and constant talk about his love of killing. As is to be expected, not everyone agrees with his line of work – namely, Morty. The idealistic youngster sets out to keep Krombopulos Michael from fulfilling his latest contract – only to accidentally run him over. Seeing this top-tier assassin getting crushed by a kid who doesn’t even know how to fly is shocking – but that just makes it funnier. What’s even more funny is the fact that he’s not even the last guy Morty kills in this episode.
#8: The Zigerions “M. Night Shaym-Aliens!”
Top 20 Crazy Rick and Morty Deaths
When you’ve got something of value, people are going to try to take it from you – at least, that’s the lesson we learned from the Zigerions. With a name that is clearly a play on those Nigerian email scams, these aliens are out to get Rick’s recipe for concentrated dark matter. Believing that they’ve finally managed to trick him, these aliens celebrate by making a batch of the dark matter in front of everyone… and blow themselves up in the process. In an episode full of twists, the biggest surprise is that Rick gave them a recipe for a bomb instead. Pfft, we thought Rick was being played, but the Zigerions were the true victims.
#7: Rick Sanchez & Morty Smith “Rick Potion #9”
Top 10 Brutal Deaths on Rick and Morty
After our favorite mad scientist accidentally creates an epidemic of Cronenbergs, all hope seems lost. But Rick assures Morty that he’s got one last trick up his sleeve, and it seems to work! The world gets back to normal, and we see the two finally working on Rick’s new invention… only to be blown up in a horrific explosion. Just as we begin to process our shock, we see our Rick and Morty pop in. Morty, terrified at the scene, is forced to bury his own corpse, and realizes that he’s living with a family that technically isn’t his own. This is “Rick and Morty”-brand existentialism at its best: sad, terrifying and haunting – to both Morty and us.
#6: Evil Rick “Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind”
Top 10 Most Evil Rick Moments In Rick and Morty
We’d call Rick a lotta things, but “nice guy” ain’t one of ‘em – same thing goes for most of his alternate selves. Yet, there are versions of Rick that are more “evil” than the one we know so well. Our Rick and Morty set out to stop Evil Rick after he captures and murders many of the other dimensions’ Mortys. And they ultimately succeed, with an army of Mortys beating Evil Rick to death. Our relief is short-lived, however, because Evil Rick is soon revealed to be a robot controlled by an Evil Morty! We don’t know why Evil Morty did it, or where he is now, but we sure hope we see him again sometime.
#5: King Jellybean “Meeseeks and Destroy”
Top 10 Craziest Things That Have Happened Since Tiger King Was Released
This series dives into some very dark territory. Case in point: in the episode “Meeseeks and Destroy,” Morty’s adventure just keeps getting worse. But when a friendly Jellybean tries to help him calm down, things seem to be looking up! Until that jellybean to rape him. Thankfully, Morty escapes, but he’s left exhausted and traumatized. Rick figure out what happened, but the two continue their adventure anyway, ultimately ending up in a village where the leader is… the jellybean. As our titular characters leave through a portal, Rick shoots the king, causing him to explode and cause us to cheer. For once, a Rick and Morty” death that results in a happy ending.
#4: Alien Parasites “Total Rickall”
Top 10 Alien Races on Rick and Morty
This is kinda cheating, but come on, you expect us to choose between Pencilvester and Sleepy Gary? In the episode “Total Rickall,” an alien species invades the Smith home, multiplying by creating false memories in people’s minds. We obviously know who’s who – but then, we didn’t have our brains altered, did we? Fortunately, Morty manages to figure it all out, so he and Rick grab a veritable arsenal of weapons to take care of these pests. It’s kickass to see the Smith family go all out, but also hilarious to see them remembering horrible things about their family. Too bad this universe’s Jerry didn’t rise to the occasion to be a part of the action, though.
#3: Fart “Mortynight Run”
Fart is a gaseous being that Morty saves from alien assassin Krombopulos Michael, so named thanks to an insult once thrown at it by Rick. A powerful entity, Fart can piece together atoms to create any form of matter – including gold – and it can influence other entities. Morty questions his decision to save Fart throughout his journey, but ultimately leads him back to his portal. Of course, in a juicy bit of irony, it’s at this very moment that he discovers this thing intends to return and destroy all life. Heartbroken and realizing his mistake, Morty kills Fart, marking an important moment in the youngster’s life.
#2: Lighthouse Chief “Look Who’s Purging Now”
When Rick plans an escape from the Purge planet, Morty is forced to listen to a terrible screenplay by the Lighthouse Chief, who doesn’t take kindly to Morty’s comments. Unable to take the pressure anymore, Morty pushes the Chief down a flight of stairs, killing him. As we’ve already seen, this isn’t the first time Morty has killed someone – but it IS the first tine he killed an innocent. To be honest, it’s pretty surprising to see Morty like this – and it only gets worse, as he then goes on a bloody rampage. We gotta say: the possibility of this side of Morty resurfacing is a pretty terrible thought… Before we unveil our number one pick, here are a few honorable mentions. - The Simpsons “Mathlete’s Feat” [The Simpsons] - Council of Ricks “The Rickshank Rickdemption”
#1: Birdperson “The Wedding Squanchers”
In case you haven’t noticed, Rick number one goal in life isn’t to make friends. In fact, there are very few people that he truly cares about and considers buddies. But Birdperson is one of those lucky few. Rick and his old pal happen to be wanted by the Galactic Federation, making Birdperson’s wedding to Tammy all the more risky. Unfortunately, because Birdperson lets his emotions blind him, he gets killed by his new lover. This is actually a heartbreaking death because Birdperson is such a passive character. And, it’s even harder to take because we see Rick lose it. Of course, this isn’t the last we’ll see of Rick’s avian ally…
