One of the sad things about Rick & Morty is that the grandson rarely gets his ideas implemented, or even acknowledged, but for the most part, his grandpa has a reason behind that decision. However, does this mean that everything Rick does is always right? Sure, he'd love to think so, given that his ego is as enormous as his intellectual capacity.
However smart he might be, his actions have had some rather disastrous consequences at times, and almost always because he doesn't visualize the possible outcomes. In fact, it really doesn't make sense for someone like Rick to make such basic mistakes, but he's human, after all (as much as he hates the idea of being one.)
10 Allows Jerry Access To Mr. Meseeks
For some reason, Rick thinks it prudent to allow his family to use his Meseeks box, hoping that it might distract them. While Beth and Summer's entities quickly disappear after the completion of their task, it's clear that there is no way Jerry's golf-themed demand can be fulfilled very easily.
Rick should have been completely aware of his son-in-law's idiocy, and consequently ensured that something like this would never happen. His own daughter was in danger at one point!
9 Turning Into Tiny Rick
Rick becomes a smaller version of himself (who acts but doesn't look younger), and his internal psyche begins to crumble. He cannot seem to communicate this clearly to his grandchildren, and it takes a much longer time than usual because Morty vehemently refuses to let Summer change their grandpa back to normal.
Thankfully, he comes to his senses in time and forces Tiny Rick into his original form. The older one is not so unprepared that he has no contingency plans. Or is he?
8 Pathogenic Ice Cream
Poor Jerry is admitted to the intergalactic St. Gloopy Noops hospital, on account of consuming the Cherry Garcia ice cream (from Ben & Jerry's) that his father-in-law had been storing in the family refrigerator.
Although he doesn't die, why on earth would Rick so thoughtlessly keep his dangerous bacteria inside a tub of delicious desert, fully aware that someone might accidentally eat it? It could have been Morty, Beth, or Summer.
7 A Robot To Pass Butter
The Butter-Passing Robot clearly exists because Rick Sanchez wants to prove his intelligence, because who else would create a semi-conscious entity for the sole purpose of being the most useless waiter in existence?
That sad thing probably spends the rest of its "life" miserably posing on the quandary of its existence, simply because its creator couldn't care less. More importantly, there are so many, much simpler ways to engineer the act of passing butter.
6 His Microverse Car Battery
Instead of being a regular person and finding some sensible way to power his car, Rick chooses to devise a complex battery system involving a micro-universe, within which he is treated as a God.
He convinces the people in there to produce energy by means of physical work, gleefully stealing the most of it for his engine. Rick has come up with some truly fantastic energy sources involving dark matter and the like; did he need to do something this elaborate and pretentious? Really?
5 Creating Abradolf Lincoler
One of Rick's most embarrassing creations is Abradolf Lincoler, a poor soul containing the combined genetics of Adolf Hitler and Abraham Lincoln. He claims that he wants to create the most morally neutral being in existence, but it doesn't play out as he expects.
Another living being endures the agony of not having a role to play in the universe, at least until he becomes a toy for a pair of Testicle Monsters. At least Rick admits his error in this case.
4 Pickle Rick
To avoid going to a psychologist, Rick morphs himself into a pickle, but finds himself in one when he is forced to make his way through the sewers, battling cockroaches and rats.
Although he emerges victorious, he really shouldn't be so proud of his accomplishment, considering that it completely negates the effort that Beth, Morty, and Summer have put in towards their therapy. In fact, he even manages to lure Beth away from the prospect of stability, heedless of his grandchildren's needs.
3 His Cronenberg Love Potion
Rick tries to "help" Morty out with his girl problem by conceiving a potion that would make Jessica fall for him. This clearly is a disaster, because everyone who accidentally breathes the fumes becomes inordinately, and violently, fascinated with Morty.
His attempts to fix the situation are even bigger failures, finally culminating in his home planet being overrun by horrifyingly gruesome monsters with all sorts of DNA spliced into their unwilling bodies. Rick has no choice but to escape.
2 The Ionic Defibulizer
After Rick Cronenbergs the entirety of C-137 Earth, he and Morty flee to an alternate reality in which the two of them had been already killed. The Rick in this dimension invents an Ionic Defibulizer, and his Morty actually passes him the screwdriver, which results in a massive explosion.
Since both Ricks had created the same device, it means that both of them were supposed to have been blown up. Is it possible for him to make such a mistake? How has he not been killed until now, then?
1 Anything He Makes Morty Do
Although he has his own reasons for taking Morty on adventures, it makes no sense for him to treat his grandson the way he does. Asking the boy to carry enormous (and rather pointy) seeds inside his rectum, putting him in deliberate danger for nothing more than a laugh, none of these things are intelligent.
It's really a wonder that Morty has survived his grandpa's bizarre plans, and it's even more shocking that he continues to travel with him. Maybe the series finale will have some resolution.
