heyitsthegaykid There are infinite timelines where Rick cares for him, but I'm pretty sure as far as dimensions go, our Rick is the only one that cares for Morty.
Many different versions of Rick treats Morty as an adventure sidekick. Nothing more, nothing less. It's basically the law of the Multiverse. But the difference in our Rick is that he treats Morty as family. And a big tsundere to his family.
Joey Greetings there is an infinite amount of timelines, an infinite amount of parallel dimensions. It's literally impossible for there to be only one that cares for morty. But I do like to think that he cares for morty the most.
That moment when you realize the reason Jerry keeps getting all those promotions and special treatment is because they think he's the one who turned in Rick
You know what’s crazy, the fact that when Rick gave Morty his collar, the timeline didn’t change. Meaning that’s the one thing that rick knew he would do and wouldn’t change or be unsure about.
I think that’s the point but as we’ve seen rick and morty but have bad experiences but it helps each grow; rick gets more human and morty gets more assertive. It’s like Stefan and damon from the vampire diaries where they’re bad together but deep down love each other to the point where there was one episode where damon kills a house full of vamps to rescue his brother if only because only he gets to screw with him.
I get why he'll never admit it. He's got a reputation. The Infinite Universes see him as an un-caring sarcastic genius, and it helps him and his family keep them safe from imminent threats. If everyone knew he was sympathetic for his family, they'd all be fucked.
@@nieemdunning5544 in calling her sum-sum, it looks like he cares about her, it’s a pet name to make her feel special so that she might do crazy and dangerous stuff he asked her to do to make herself his favorite or smthn
If that's true then why did we get a scene of alternate timeline Rick angrily yelling "what did you do to me morty" lol. That doesn't seem like the reaction of someone who definitely knows for sure what happened in timeline where Rick saves him.
@@masync183 the other ricks in the other timelines got mad when morty vanished because they in on the middle of an argument with morty. not even the most intelligent man in the world can avoid being swayed by anger in times of crisis. + they didn’t know why morty was saved. the ricks and mortys don’t know what’s going on in other timelines
i think that the scene where rick just stares at the jelly bean walk out of the bathroom without saying anything is more powerful then rick just shooting him since we have seen him killing people before but we have never really seen him mad at somebody for hurting somebody he knows
That's exactly my thoughts!! It's super important to the actual killing of Jelly Bean, cause Rick could've let him go because it's just one guy in one dimension amongst an infinite amount of dimensions, but the fact that he knew he did something bad to Morty, just- yesssss! I love the whole caring about family bit. Just the fact that he's not a total emotionless douchebag and actually has the capacity to love and care is awesome to me. But please don't take that the wrong way, I'm actually talking about familial love, not romantic. There's a lot of weird people in this fandom ;;
kumagawa i have to change my name because sam flatman thinks my name is stupid misogi not punishing a rapist is a pretty low bar to set for judging someone's goodness....

well Rick's trying to comfort him because he got molested by the jelly bean king, so when Rick shoots the Jelly Bean king it already gets the point across that he cares about Morty I don't think they needed to show the tavern scene.
I absolutely love the scene where Rick shoots the jelly bean king, and just before when you can see how angry he is, but doesn't bring it up with his obviously traumatized and embarrassed grandson.
Ted_Bikini bottom Time split whenever someone was uncertain about something (because there's a situation where you would've done it, and one where you wouldn't). Rick had a screen with dots repressing each situation.

heyitsthegaykid he’s not since he does kinda grow in the span of the series. In the first episode he sees morty as his errand boy, and pretty much nothing more. In fact the entire episode is just an elaborate plan on rick to get Jerry and Beth to agree to allow morty to miss school.

Wolffang s but rick is also a nihilist. If Morty dies, there’s an infinite number more so it really doesn’t matter.

The It’s like killing one ant in a colony of 1 million; it doesn’t have that much of an effect overall so it doesn’t matter. Or as the roundtable explained, think of killing the ruling figure of a country. It’ll be a big deal on earth because you have to deal with the consequences, but in terms of say the universe which contains hundreds upon hundreds of planets and the multiverse that contains infinite timelines (basically whatever reality you could think of there’s probably a version of that) there’s a 98% chance there’s another copy of that person and they’re alright.

dudebladeX Theory: Evil Morty is C-137 Morty. Rick couldn't see the negative effects that the 'adventures' and verbal abuse were having on Morty's (C-137) mental health. Morty simply snapped and grew to loath Rick. [Some people don't think that Morty could be smart enough to build all those machines and control 'Evil Rick', but remember that Rick said in one episode that he needed Morty's brainwaves to 'mask his own'. That would only be physically possible if Morty had identical brainwaves to Rick (in order to cancel each other out), which makes Morty just as intelligent as Rick]. C-137 Rick realised what a horrible mistake he had made and moved to an almost identical time line - the only difference being that he only showed up in Beth's life again. He wants another chance. He tells this timeline's Morty that he's "as dumb as they come" so that he doesn't realise his intelligence, which could bode very dangerous as seen with C-137 Morty. He also takes time to goof around with this Morty because he feels immensely guilty for what he did to his original Morty. "Wubbalubbadubdub" means "I am in great pain. Please help me." Could this result from the guilt of what he did? Notice that in the 6 months that time was frozen we learn that he rarely used that catchphrase during that time. He doesn't need to use it because he feels like he's bonding with his grandchildren (but mostly Morty) and sort of redeeming himself. Rick gets teary eyed when he sees his memory of Baby Morty because he misses him, and knows that he alone managed to break and eventually ruin him.
Reading the comics- he definitely cares. All Ricks care to a varying degree, but it's in Ricks character to push those close to him away because of how often he flips dimensions or destroys said dimensions
Me: Hmm, I haven't checked notifications in a while...I should check it out *Checks* ...pEOPLE LIKED MY SHIT????? *Intense confusion* oml this is legit the first time ever holy crap I love you all :0
The first one is the one that actually truly justifies it for me, because he had nothing to gain and no emergency to complete, he just did it for revenge on Morty's behalf. And Morty didn't know, in fact, he waited til Morty was gone before doing it, so it's not like he had anything to gain in that regard either.
While he had nothing to gain, he also had nothing to lose since killing the bean cost him barely a second and involved no risk to him, and it's made pretty clear that he doesn't really value the lives of others. Add to it that it could (on its own) have also less flattering interpretations (it's not unheard of for an abuser to feel some kind of "no one touches my stuff" possessiveness towards their victims), and it doesn't really mean much on its own. The collar sacrifice is the biggest deal to me. He is literally giving up his sure chance of survival to help Morty. He consciously accepts that this will kill him. He does it anyway, without any alternative plan for his own survival up his sleeve. In the end, he did survive, but only by sheer luck. He gambled his life for the sole reason to protect Morty.
Another scene worth adding is when they're stealing crystals in that episode where they're in multiple simulations and start mucking around playing with one another
You missed a part. When Rick and morty were escaping the igereans, they were throwing crystals at each other, but in a playful way. It was cute and it showed that Rick loves morty.
I KEEL U No, Rick was just doing that to see if he was in a simulation. He knew that he was because Morty didn't seem to notice that Rick was acting out of character.
What i love about morty is that despite everything rick puts him through he still loves him. That is so admirable and adorable. “You love them unconditionally.”
You forgot when Rick wants to use a Bomb when he's drunk, and 'have a fresh start', he wants to kill everyone, but he takes morty with him, implying that Rick thinks morty is the only person that deserves to live.. (S1E1: Pilot)
he literally murdered a child and used Morty as a drug mule in that very same episode. Why was Rick even on that ship? he's the MOST deserving of death
Notice how even though there was a second of hesitation when he was thinking about giving morty his collar, there was no split. He was certain about it.
Rick cares about everyone, even Jerry that why he deflects him so much: Jerry likes the feeling of “upping someone”, and Rick will occasionally let him get under his skin only to prove him wrong after
I love Rick so much. He is such a deep character if you really think about it. He is a genius who, by all means, doesn't exactly belong to humanity. So to cope with his loneliness, he drinks. The only people who he can truly relate to, in some way, are his grandchildren. They don't know him as the man who abandoned them as Beth does. They don't see him as the freeloader who insults their dignity as Jerry does. He isn't seen as a traitor as the galaxy does. He can be who ever he wants with his grandchildren and that includes not just being himself, which not everyone accepts, but he has a clean slate with them. Everywhere else, in every dimension, he has a reputation he cannot shake. But with his grandchildren, Rick isn't the villain for once, he is the hero.
I have more evidence to back this up In the episode Vindicators three, Morty calls the vindicators "my heroes" Which probably really upset him deep down Thats why he got reaaly really drunk in that episode and almost expressed love for him on the roller coaster, i bet ge chickened out on saying it so he said noob noob instead, notice how the ride can only be activated by morty and not him?
@@Petaurista13 yea. and besides, there couldnt be 2 jerrys, summers, and beths and the rick and morty from the new universe fucked something up and died
IMPossible Bass Jesus christ calm down, what Rick did was still undeniably shitty, it's kinda part of his character. He cares more about his family now, but he still abandoned that version of them.
I just realized that the one with the collar could mean even more because since the number of dots didn’t multiply, Rick was absolutely certain he wanted to sacrifice himself for Morty. I mean unless he was the only version of himself that had the opportunity to but still it’s an interesting possibility considering we didn’t ever see the whole screen of ricks and mortys fighting over the collar.
you could have also included the scene from the parasites episode where morty has him at gun point where he mentions he's got about a thousand memories of morty and only 6 of them are pleasant, the fact that he has pleasant memories is a good one.
I think one of the most important scenes to me is in "Look Who's Purging Now" at the end when RIck hides the fact that there really wasn't any Purgenol in the food so that Morty wouldn't have to face the fact that his violent acts were all of his very own volition.
RedThorn00 true, but that can be justified. some may say so it's that morty won't know what he's truly capable of, so he can't kill rick or anyone else. I think it's still nice that rick did that, just some other people have justifications
@@RedThorn00 that's the problem though, other than true sacrifice (the sacrifice of one's life for another's) you can argue that any good deed anyone does is for a selfish reason. I just feel like people are trying to over analyse some of these things. If he didn't care for Morty and just wanted to keep living at Beth's then he'd never try to help Morty and would view him as completely disposable since he can always go get another Morty from the citadel.
1:02 I like this scene because it shows Ricks genuine humanity. Caring about your family is one thing, caring about people you don’t even know I another
Later in season 3 Ahh, not so fast Morty. You heard your mom, we’ve got adventures to go on Morty. Just you and me, and sometimes your sister, and sometimes your mom, but NEVER your dad! You wanna know why Morty? Because he CROSSED me. *OK, take it easy, Rick! Th-that's dark.* Oh it gets darker Morty... Welcome to the darkest year of our adventures. First thing that’s different, no more dad Morty. He threatened to turn me in to the government, so I made him and the government go away... *Ohhh fuck...* I replaced them both as the defacto-patriarch of your family, AND your universe. *Oh man...* Your mom wouldn’t have accepted me if I came home without you and your sister. So now you know the REAL reason I rescued you. *Ohhhh-woah...* I JUST TOOK OVER THE FAMILY MORTY! *Oh man.* And if you tell your mom or sister I said any of this, I’ll DENY it. *You'll deny it...* And they’ll take my side, because I’m a hero, Morty. And now you’re gonna have to do whatever I say, Morty, FOREVER! A-and I-I’ll go out and find some more of that Mulan, Szechuan Teriyaki dipping sauce, Morty. *Wh-what are you talking about?* Because that’s, that's what this is all about Morty! *Szechuan?* Th-that’s my one arm man. I’m not driven by avenging my dead family (Morty crawls away) Morty, that was FAKE! (Morty gets pulled back.) I-I’m driven by finding that, McNugget Sauce. Nuggets? I want that Mulan McNugget Sauce, Morty. *Mulan?* That’s my series arc Morty! *What the Hell?* If it takes 9 seasons, I WANT MY MCNUGGET DIPPING, *What're you talking about Rick?* SAUCE SZECHUAN SAUCE MORTY! *What're you talking about?* TH-THAT’S WHAT'S GONNA TAKE US, ALL THE WAY TO THE END MORTY! SEASON, 9 MORE SEASONS MORTY! *Szechuan sauce?!* 9 MORE SEASONS UNTIL I GET THAT DIPPING SZECHUAN SAUCE! *What is that?!* FOR 97 MORE YEARS MORTY! *What are you talking about?!* I WANT THAT MCNUGGET SAUCE MORTY!!!
I love when he turned himself in, he did have a plan, but he wanted to give Morty and his family happiness(except for Jerry), and as time goes on he slowly becomes better
After season 5, I now think that Rick cares for Morty not as a grandson but as his own son, since he never was able to take care of young beth and only got to see her again grown up in a different reality
This is one of the things that kind of got lost as the show went on. I buy s1 and 2 Rick caring about Morty but from s4 on it feels like he doesn't go e a shit about him
Something worth noting is that in the time loop scene is that if rick hesitated to save Morty there would have been another time split and yet we see him jump in with no second thoughts on possibly dying to save Morty's life. Still can't say for sure but its fair evidence that maybe Rick C-137 has legitimate concern for Morty. Don't know if im the first to bring this up just something I've noticed.
he's like the evil type of doctor,he may seem like a jerk and rude basiaclly all the time,but he does care for his grandkids and family, no matter how he acts
The part where Rick turning himself in wasn't for his family's safety it was so he could shut down the galactic government and get Jerry and Beth divorced
I think the reason I like the ‘you’re crying over a Morty?’ line is because you learn it’s being said by a Morty. That even with all the infinite possibilities he still seems surprised that there is a Rick that actually enjoys spending time with his grandson
Also too C-137 Rick lost his daughter before she could have a chance at living life. And he went to primes dimension when beth was an adult and already had summer and Morty. So he never got to witness most of those memories. Which I think is a double gut punch to that scene.
I realized something The Rick here is the rick who lost Beth when she’s a child. That means Morty doesn’t exist in there. All of the others are nothing but forms that the Ricks made to abuse or torture. But this Rick… He is damn worried about this Morty and others. Because no matter how many times he tried to avenge his family, change past, or kill as many ricks as possible. The only thing holding him from being a total maniac is the fact that he doesn’t want to hurt morty. That he has a family there even though they’re not really his family. Different from all Ricks, he still has a heart. Look at the parallels, look at how he cried over the memories. He cared. He cared.
it makes sense, there is an infinite amount of parallel universes with an infinite amount of ricks, which means theres a 100% chance that atleast one of them, would care for morty. C137 Rick, might be that rare one that actually cares.
yeah but notice how these moments are usually way more impactful? the writers definitely intend for these to mean more than the Rick being a dick to Morty moments
You know, I think people forget the most ricks are terrible dads and terrible grandfathers. Rick C-137 never actually left his Beth and probably never actually would’ve he’s a better Rick than most ricks
After knowing rick’s backstory it’s clear Rick does really care about his grandchildren, child and even Jerry. Cause his own family was taken from him so he really values his current family
It’s weird cause even though he cares, he still has to keep a sense of order. Like when rick said to morty that a cocky morty can be a bad thing. Then it’s somewhat shown through morty’s mindblowers and some other episodes I can’t think of rn. But I think you kinda see it if you pay attention
I really wanna talk about something I found, anyway I was playing pocket mortys and seen a morty that's description said that he was a guilt stricken Ricks attempt to recreat his dead grandson and the episode where the evil Rick aka the robot Rick was sifting through his memories and when he picked up baby morty in the memory he started to cry, take this as you will
The best part about the timeline split scene is that when morty falls, there's not a single timeline where Rick doesn't jump after him. So if Morty was ever in danger, Rick would without a doubt jump to save him
i believe the real reason why C-137 rick is the rickest rick is because he's the only one who cares for morty
nope, there are infinite ricks who care for morty. that's literally the multiverse for ya.
heyitsthegaykid There are infinite timelines where Rick cares for him, but I'm pretty sure as far as dimensions go, our Rick is the only one that cares for Morty.

Reading the comics- he definitely cares. All Ricks care to a varying degree, but it's in Ricks character to push those close to him away because of how often he flips dimensions or destroys said dimensions

The first one is the one that actually truly justifies it for me, because he had nothing to gain and no emergency to complete, he just did it for revenge on Morty's behalf. And Morty didn't know, in fact, he waited til Morty was gone before doing it, so it's not like he had anything to gain in that regard either.
I never even realized that it was Rick that shot him until I saw this video
While he had nothing to gain, he also had nothing to lose since killing the bean cost him barely a second and involved no risk to him, and it's made pretty clear that he doesn't really value the lives of others.
Add to it that it could (on its own) have also less flattering interpretations (it's not unheard of for an abuser to feel some kind of "no one touches my stuff" possessiveness towards their victims), and it doesn't really mean much on its own.
The collar sacrifice is the biggest deal to me.
He is literally giving up his sure chance of survival to help Morty. He consciously accepts that this will kill him. He does it anyway, without any alternative plan for his own survival up his sleeve.
In the end, he did survive, but only by sheer luck. He gambled his life for the sole reason to protect Morty.

Another scene worth adding is when they're stealing crystals in that episode where they're in multiple simulations and start mucking around playing with one another
Don't forgot that Morty wasn't real, and rick knew that, he was just tricking the alien dudes, I forgot their names
I love that we need proof that Rick has even slight "love" for his only grandson 😂
"Only" ?? What about summer lmao

You missed a part. When Rick and morty were escaping the igereans, they were throwing crystals at each other, but in a playful way. It was cute and it showed that Rick loves morty.
I KEEL U and the fact he wanted to kill them for simulated his grandsons genitals.
I KEEL U No, Rick was just doing that to see if he was in a simulation. He knew that he was because Morty didn't seem to notice that Rick was acting out of character.
James Huber what
I KEEL U Let also add the fact that Rick lie to Morty about a candy that bulit up bloodlust to save him from guilt and give him a peace of mind.
Doctor Who He didn't it said the chocolate is now "Purgenol Free".

Nah. It's all about that sechuan sause.

9 more seasons Morty!
97 more years
Thatt's his series arc!
They're selling it again!!!😭😭😭
You forgot when Rick wants to use a Bomb when he's drunk, and 'have a fresh start', he wants to kill everyone, but he takes morty with him, implying that Rick thinks morty is the only person that deserves to live..
(S1E1: Pilot)
he literally murdered a child and used Morty as a drug mule in that very same episode. Why was Rick even on that ship? he's the MOST deserving of death

I love how Rick's monobrow reflects his emotions
Rick cares about everyone, even Jerry that why he deflects him so much: Jerry likes the feeling of “upping someone”, and Rick will occasionally let him get under his skin only to prove him wrong after
I love Rick so much. He is such a deep character if you really think about it. He is a genius who, by all means, doesn't exactly belong to humanity. So to cope with his loneliness, he drinks. The only people who he can truly relate to, in some way, are his grandchildren. They don't know him as the man who abandoned them as Beth does. They don't see him as the freeloader who insults their dignity as Jerry does. He isn't seen as a traitor as the galaxy does. He can be who ever he wants with his grandchildren and that includes not just being himself, which not everyone accepts, but he has a clean slate with them. Everywhere else, in every dimension, he has a reputation he cannot shake. But with his grandchildren, Rick isn't the villain for once, he is the hero.
Andria B and he's so different from humans that his only best friends were bird person and Squanchy😂
Devin Corbett nah
Andria B squanchy and bird person were close to rick
I have more evidence to back this up
In the episode Vindicators three, Morty calls the vindicators "my heroes"
Which probably really upset him deep down
Thats why he got reaaly really drunk in that episode and almost expressed love for him on the roller coaster, i bet ge chickened out on saying it so he said noob noob instead, notice how the ride can only be activated by morty and not him?
_Derpy Vik_
And then he totally forgets who the fuck noob noob is at the end of the episode.
im not crying I,, Im just,,, CRYING

Jonas Sohi you aren't wrong

It's just so heartwarming, seeing the guy who everyone believes to be nilhilistic and unkind caring about his family. I love this man.
then basically morty is the only person rick cares about. cuz he just left that universe with mutated people with beth jerry and summer without them
oh shit thats right. he completely left them behind i never noticed that
didn't he mutated them because of messing up Morty's wish?
@@Petaurista13 no he said the potion doesnt affect people with the same dna (or something like that)
@@StoppedEmu67 similar. Each of Morty's parent has 1/2 of DNA at least about 100% same as Morty. But they still have to live in post apo
@@Petaurista13 yea. and besides, there couldnt be 2 jerrys, summers, and beths and the rick and morty from the new universe fucked something up and died
There's another one in the Pluto eps where Mortys comes through the door then rick gets excited but coughs and plays it off
Which ep is this? And the season?
He’s like
“Morty! *cough cough* oh morty”
@@hartfxlt season 1 ep 9
At least a grandfather cares about his grandson.
Rick is actually careful for his daughter's family.
*except for Jerry.*
CuS JERRY CROSSED HIM! YOU DONT *F U C K* WITH RICK
Gasterrific he abandoned his daughter and Summer on kronenberg world, not much caring there
slayer YOU DUMB FUCK IF U EVEN WATCHED THE EPSIODE HE DID THAT TO SAVE THEM U SACK OF GARBAGE
IMPossible Bass Jesus christ calm down, what Rick did was still undeniably shitty, it's kinda part of his character. He cares more about his family now, but he still abandoned that version of them.
IMPossible Bass he could've brought that version of summer Beth and Jerry to somewhere safe rather than abandoning them...
I just realized that the one with the collar could mean even more because since the number of dots didn’t multiply, Rick was absolutely certain he wanted to sacrifice himself for Morty. I mean unless he was the only version of himself that had the opportunity to but still it’s an interesting possibility considering we didn’t ever see the whole screen of ricks and mortys fighting over the collar.
The way it cuts when he says "Your crying? over a Morty?" Just made me bust out laughing for some reason.
you could have also included the scene from the parasites episode where morty has him at gun point where he mentions he's got about a thousand memories of morty and only 6 of them are pleasant, the fact that he has pleasant memories is a good one.
ianciti But Rick was being sarcastic...
the only reason rick couldnt figure out if morty was a parasite was because ALL his memories with him are good
Oh my god you're right. I missed that detail. It was a planted memory by the parasites though, if I remember correctly.
That's not the same Rick in the TV show, alternate universe.
Look it up, it's quite fascinating.
Taboost Not when Morty tries to kill him, that must be heartbreaking. He is a genius, of course he knew Morty tried to shoot him for real in 3x1
I think one of the most important scenes to me is in "Look Who's Purging Now" at the end when RIck hides the fact that there really wasn't any Purgenol in the food so that Morty wouldn't have to face the fact that his violent acts were all of his very own volition.
RedThorn00 true, but that can be justified. some may say so it's that morty won't know what he's truly capable of, so he can't kill rick or anyone else. I think it's still nice that rick did that, just some other people have justifications
I feel like most of the good things Rick does for Morty can be justified to as something Rick does for selfish reasons, but yeah.
@@RedThorn00 that's the problem though, other than true sacrifice (the sacrifice of one's life for another's) you can argue that any good deed anyone does is for a selfish reason. I just feel like people are trying to over analyse some of these things. If he didn't care for Morty and just wanted to keep living at Beth's then he'd never try to help Morty and would view him as completely disposable since he can always go get another Morty from the citadel.
I hope that there’s more moments like this in the future because honestly they’re so adorable
1:02 I like this scene because it shows Ricks genuine humanity. Caring about your family is one thing, caring about people you don’t even know I another
Later in season 3
Ahh, not so fast Morty. You heard your mom, we’ve got adventures to go on Morty. Just you and me, and sometimes your sister, and sometimes your mom, but NEVER your dad! You wanna know why Morty? Because he CROSSED me. *OK, take it easy, Rick! Th-that's dark.* Oh it gets darker Morty... Welcome to the darkest year of our adventures. First thing that’s different, no more dad Morty. He threatened to turn me in to the government, so I made him and the government go away... *Ohhh fuck...* I replaced them both as the defacto-patriarch of your family, AND your universe. *Oh man...* Your mom wouldn’t have accepted me if I came home without you and your sister. So now you know the REAL reason I rescued you. *Ohhhh-woah...* I JUST TOOK OVER THE FAMILY MORTY! *Oh man.* And if you tell your mom or sister I said any of this, I’ll DENY it. *You'll deny it...* And they’ll take my side, because I’m a hero, Morty. And now you’re gonna have to do whatever I say, Morty, FOREVER! A-and I-I’ll go out and find some more of that Mulan, Szechuan Teriyaki dipping sauce, Morty. *Wh-what are you talking about?* Because that’s, that's what this is all about Morty! *Szechuan?* Th-that’s my one arm man. I’m not driven by avenging my dead family (Morty crawls away) Morty, that was FAKE! (Morty gets pulled back.) I-I’m driven by finding that, McNugget Sauce. Nuggets? I want that Mulan McNugget Sauce, Morty. *Mulan?* That’s my series arc Morty! *What the Hell?* If it takes 9 seasons, I WANT MY MCNUGGET DIPPING, *What're you talking about Rick?* SAUCE SZECHUAN SAUCE MORTY! *What're you talking about?* TH-THAT’S WHAT'S GONNA TAKE US, ALL THE WAY TO THE END MORTY! SEASON, 9 MORE SEASONS MORTY! *Szechuan sauce?!* 9 MORE SEASONS UNTIL I GET THAT DIPPING SZECHUAN SAUCE! *What is that?!* FOR 97 MORE YEARS MORTY! *What are you talking about?!* I WANT THAT MCNUGGET SAUCE MORTY!!!
wow. that's impressive.
New copypasta?
KoderKat Yeah go ahead.
Reminds me of the pilot episode ending
He was just very upset, I still think he care
This is what makes Rick my favorite character of all time.
Same He’s My Favorite Character Too💙💙💙💙
1:22 are my grand kids alive? LoL
I love when he turned himself in, he did have a plan, but he wanted to give Morty and his family happiness(except for Jerry), and as time goes on he slowly becomes better
King Jellybean and the Federation Government dislike this video.
King Jellybean is dead
I still have flash backs of that day
Rick and Morty has some of the most real and touching moments for some reason and I just... ack.
After season 5, I now think that Rick cares for Morty not as a grandson but as his own son, since he never was able to take care of young beth and only got to see her again grown up in a different reality
This is one of the things that kind of got lost as the show went on. I buy s1 and 2 Rick caring about Morty but from s4 on it feels like he doesn't go e a shit about him
Something worth noting is that in the time loop scene is that if rick hesitated to save Morty there would have been another time split and yet we see him jump in with no second thoughts on possibly dying to save Morty's life. Still can't say for sure but its fair evidence that maybe Rick C-137 has legitimate concern for Morty. Don't know if im the first to bring this up just something I've noticed.
Wow...
That is the smartest inference I have ever read in the comment section.
- P-man_XD
He also got that Morty insurance- like pet insurance or whatever the fuck. It was a messed up joke but the caring part of him was there.
caring for himself, he wanted a new morty if that morty died. lol
@@milkydanny8316 then he destroyed the whole citadel
Well, Rick cares, he just shows it in a very weird and sometimes drunk way. So when he really shows he cares. *IT WARMS YOUR HEART.*
I know Rick saving Morty is supposed be an emotional moment but the
"What the hell!?, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME MORTY!" Gets me everytime
he's like the evil type of doctor,he may seem like a jerk and rude basiaclly all the time,but he does care for his grandkids and family, no matter how he acts
sparky 357 Except Jerry
The part where Rick turning himself in wasn't for his family's safety it was so he could shut down the galactic government and get Jerry and Beth divorced
but then he wouldn't have asked "will my family have a normal life"
honestly it was most likely both
IT WAS FOR THE SAUCE MUFAFUKKAS
I think he thought of that after he was captured and put in prison
THE MULAN SEZCHUAN SAUCE MAFAKKAAAAS.
I think the reason I like the ‘you’re crying over a Morty?’ line is because you learn it’s being said by a Morty. That even with all the infinite possibilities he still seems surprised that there is a Rick that actually enjoys spending time with his grandson
Also too C-137 Rick lost his daughter before she could have a chance at living life. And he went to primes dimension when beth was an adult and already had summer and Morty. So he never got to witness most of those memories. Which I think is a double gut punch to that scene.
I realized something
The Rick here is the rick who lost Beth when she’s a child.
That means Morty doesn’t exist in there.
All of the others are nothing but forms that the Ricks made to abuse or torture.
But this Rick…
He is damn worried about this Morty and others.
Because no matter how many times he tried to avenge his family, change past, or kill as many ricks as possible.
The only thing holding him from being a total maniac is the fact that he doesn’t want to hurt morty. That he has a family there even though they’re not really his family.
Different from all Ricks, he still has a heart.
Look at the parallels, look at how he cried over the memories.
He cared. He cared.
That wasn’t a memory though. If it was, he wouldn’tve shown it
the jelly bean one makes me feel all warm inside
a Rick loves Morty but not every rick
SpAcE/rOcK/WOW OuO you maybe wanna rephrase that? cause it makes no sense
random person lol idek what I was going for with that XD thanks for telling me
SpAcE/rOcK/WOW OuO no problem
it makes sense, there is an infinite amount of parallel universes with an infinite amount of ricks, which means theres a 100% chance that atleast one of them, would care for morty. C137 Rick, might be that rare one that actually cares.
Only the Rickest Rick loves his Morty.
uh you guys forgot the rick and relaxation episode where even toxic rick ends up caring about morty
My favorite is when Rick "sacrifices" himself for Morty. "I'm good with this. Be good, Morty, be better than me.". 😭😭
it's kind of depressing that people need a *series* of clips of rick caring about morty, or his family in general (well, except Jerry)
rat what's sad is that it is only 2 minutes long
What’s sad is that this person forgot about 15 minutes worth of sweet moments like this one.
Ok
god is dead and I’m here to rule also what is wrong with ur name
This is ~2 minutes, a video of "proof rick doesnt care about morty" would be 2 hours
yeah but notice how these moments are usually way more impactful?
the writers definitely intend for these to mean more than the Rick being a dick to Morty moments
Tbh that doesn't make since. If cares for Morty. Just cause he is a constant dick wad doesn't mean he doesn't care.
Give us some examples of him not caring about Morty.
Rick is basically a tsundere.
1:05 love that movement of animation
You know, I think people forget the most ricks are terrible dads and terrible grandfathers. Rick C-137 never actually left his Beth and probably never actually would’ve he’s a better Rick than most ricks
1 dislike is king jellybean
And the other ones were the Galactic federation
No Name So Sad I don't think they have internet providers to let them go on youtube anymore. ISP need to get paid after all...
Then the Council of ricks disliked
Hold up hes dead
After knowing rick’s backstory it’s clear Rick does really care about his grandchildren, child and even Jerry. Cause his own family was taken from him so he really values his current family
"Be good Morty, be better than me"
The second one is prob the most convincing
Niko Te Rangiita I actually cried in that scene
It’s weird cause even though he cares, he still has to keep a sense of order. Like when rick said to morty that a cocky morty can be a bad thing. Then it’s somewhat shown through morty’s mindblowers and some other episodes I can’t think of rn. But I think you kinda see it if you pay attention
Back when we had respect for Rick
He's the rickest rick because he's a human being that cares for his family
These are the moments that really get you
"your crying over a Morty?"
the next clip: naked Morty
way to ruin the moment XD

" Aww jeez man. "
~Morty Smith 2017
He's the rickest rick because he hides his emotions the most.
Proof that he doesn't:
"These memories that we have...
These memories that we cherish...
I wish that we could go back to that ti-i-ime....."
we don't need no proof we all know that this heartless old man loves him😭😂😂
I spent one minute and 57 seconds watching this and it was so worth it
I really need to start watching this show, keeps popping up in my recommended
these scenes mean so much. i really hope and want him to care about morty...
I really wanna talk about something I found, anyway I was playing pocket mortys and seen a morty that's description said that he was a guilt stricken Ricks attempt to recreat his dead grandson and the episode where the evil Rick aka the robot Rick was sifting through his memories and when he picked up baby morty in the memory he started to cry, take this as you will
The best part about the timeline split scene is that when morty falls, there's not a single timeline where Rick doesn't jump after him. So if Morty was ever in danger, Rick would without a doubt jump to save him
My favourite part
Evil rick: are you crying over a morty
Rick : no I'm just allergic to dipshits
1 like = 1 less King Jellybean in a parallel universe
didnt need proof always knew he loved morty grandpa grandson things.😔✊🏼
Ah remember back in the early seasons when we didn't need to prove he cared about Morty?...good times
