Rick and Morty has become my everything and it only has three seasons so far. Here’s a list of 21 quotes in no particular order (because it’s Rick and Morty, c’mon now) from the animated show that honestly changed my perspective on everything, made me think like I’ve never thought before, and made me laugh hysterically which doesn’t happen too much.
1. Morty:
“Nobody exists on purpose, Nobody belongs anywhere, we’re all going to die.” - Stop taking everything so seriously in life, in the end, it all means nothing because all you have is yourself and what you choose to do with your life. Stop waiting for things to get handed to you, go out and get it.
2. Rick:
“Let’s get riggity, riggity wrecked son!”
3. Mr. Meeseeks:
“Having a family doesn’t mean that you stop being an individual. You know the best thing you can do for people that depend on you? Be honest with them, even if that means setting them free.” - Always do what’s best for you.
4. Giant head:
“Show me what you got!”
5. Rick:
"Peace among worlds.” *Insert middle fingers*
6. Rick:
“That’s planning for failure Morty. Even dumber than regular planning.” - Believe in your damn self.
7. Rick:
“You gotta get Schwifty.” - Schwifty (Adj.) - Something that is perceived in an extremely positive way. Synonyms; awesome, cool, rad, sweet, dope, etc.
8. Rick:
“Wubba lubba dub dub!” - You start off thinking this phrase is happy and silly because it’s coming from Rick but we find out from Bird person that it means “I am in great pain, please help me.” Damn, aren’t we all?
9. Rick:
“What people call 'love' is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard Morty, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it, your parents are going to do it. Break the cycle, Morty. Rise above. Focus on science."
10. Rick:
“Lick Lick Lick my balls.” - I love rick to death if I’m being honest.
11. Rick:
“Alright, alright, calm down. Listen to me, Morty. I know that new situations can be intimidating. You looking around and it's all scary and different, but y'know, meeting them head-on, charging into 'em like a bull - that's how we grow as people. I'm no stranger to scary situations, I deal with them all the time."
12. Rick:
“Weddings are basically funerals with cake.” - See what I mean? Who thinks this stuff up?
13. Morty:
“Well then get your sh*t together, get it all together and put it in a backpack, all your sh*t, so it’s together. And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere, you know. Take it to the sh*t store and sell it, or put it in the sh*t museum. I don’t care what you do, you just gotta get it together. Get your sh*t together.”
14. Rick:
“I’m sorry, but your opinion means very little to me.” - Watching this showing and listening to Rick will teach you that you just shouldn’t care. If you do care, people will judge everything you do anyway, so why waste your energy?
15. Rick:
“I'll tell you how I feel about school, Jerry, it's a waste of time. Bunch of people running around bumping into each other, got a guy up front says, '2 + 2,' and the people in the back say, '4.' Then the bell rings and they give you a carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can go take a dump or something. I mean, it's not a place for smart people, Jerry. I know that's not a popular opinion, but that's my two cents on the issue.” - What do they actually teach you in school that you end up using in life? Absolutely nothing.
16. Rick:
“I turned myself into a pickle, Morty! I’m Pickle Rick!”
17. Rick:
“Grass tastes bad.”
18. Morty:
“You like that? You want me to cut to three weeks earlier when you were alive?” - This episode was when Morty was a complete savage and I’m still so shocked but also proud.
19. Summer:
“That's because losers look stuff up while the rest of us are carpin' all them diems.”
20. Unity:
“I realize now I’m attracted to you for the same reason I can’t be with you; you can’t change. And I have no problem with that but it clearly means I have a problem with myself.” - This hits way too close to home.
21. Summer:
“Maybe I just want you to care If I run away yelling!”
