Why is Rick such a Rick? I believe Morty said it best: “Because Ricks hate themselves more than anything else.”

[@lauracuomo7717]

U summon rick as the best

[@sumbitch3rdgen]

Because he lost his wife and daughter, only to find out later that it meant absolutely nothing

[@sirnilsolav6646]

Rick's tragedy is that he knows that there is infinent versions of him and that there are infinent of other lifeforms which takes away the importance of himself, his family and humanity as a whole, but he still wants to have meaning, but his knowledge and world view doesn't allow room for it. Rick is someone who accepts the reality of the situation and isn't someone who buys the "make your own meaning" message. He realises his own species insignificance. He deals with it by engaging into hedonism, like partying, playing games, do science and watch TV. He also gives a standard of importance which to him is knowledge and science. Hedonism and science is how he deals with a apathatical universe. Love is something he has a problem with as love is something you give to something or someone special, a person, your family but the reality is that, in Rick's world, no one is special. His knowledge of this makes it irrational to ascribe meaning to anything, which is why our Rick and other Ricks refer to our Rick as irrational because he express remorse and care to Morty. Rick wants meaning though he doesn't admit it. He wants to love his family and grandkids but he can't accept that about himself since he thinks it would be irrational. They are after all just part of an infinent number of other versions.

I always thought it actually meant something when Rick says "Summer you opinion means very little to me.", because he actually hesitates for a second and doesn't say her opinion means nothing to him. Just very little. Which is likely more than he values most anyone else's.

If rick is so smart that he's aware of being in a cartoon does that mean that Mr.poopybutthole is just as smart as he is because he's aware of being in a tv show as well?

[@scottmichaeloneil]

Rick isn't "alone in the universe" because he's too smart, he's alone in the universe because WE ALL ARE. He doesn't fail to maintain lasting relationships (which isn't exactly true, BTW, he has friends and cares for his family in a way, even though he strongly dislikes that fact - as was demonstrated in "Rest and Ricklaxation") because of his intelligence, he doesn't care for those relationships like many people do because he knows that there are INFINITE iterations of EVERY person, so if his relationship with one particular iteration of a person fails he knows that there is always another.

[@insight1742]

He is a narcissist.. I don't know how much research they actually put into this video but it seemed to be very little as Rick himself admits he's entitled and a narcissist, so I don't know why it's up for debate. When Healthy Rick and Toxic Rick were arguing on the moon tower, Healthy Rick said that Toxic Rick contained among other things, his narcissism and entitlement, which were the first two he listed so he's fully aware of them.

I desperately want to see Rick show caring and loving emotions toward his family, like most of the audience does. Isn’t it a fact that Ricks hate themselves more than anything? Well if that’s true and Rick still loves himself enough to keep on going on adventures and staying alive and caring about even the littlest things, does that mean that he shows more love for his family than he does himself?

hassan khan well a quick dip in is that Zuko and Iroh both suffered traumatic losses that they ended up learning from. Both Ozai and Azula were the second born and despite being very talented, were destined by the order of their birth to never be powerful. This made them desperate for power.

Iroh was once as ruthless as his brother, Ozai. Remember, he was a great general of the FIRE NATION - the nation that was conquering and destroying everything! But when he suffered a humiliating defeat in the Earth Kingdom and lost his son, he started to reevaluate what's important in life - which was why he stepped down from succession to the throne and took on the role of a supportive father figure to Zuko who he sympathized with after witnessing how terribly Ozai treated him.

[@izzyxblades]

This feedback is not meant to be critical, I really appreciate the level of depth of the analysis and the quality of the writing on this channel. Rick is a narcissist but he does not have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Those two things are not the same thing. Rick lacks a huge cornerstone of NPD--he doesn't care about the opinions of others. People with NPD very much care and in fact become enraged and vengeful when people don't worship them. Rick is the opposite of this. While he gets irritated when people get in his way, he isn't personally offended. If one were to diagnose Rick, he would be an alcoholic. His behaviors display a lot of signs of Anti Social Personality Disorder (aka sociopath) but in the moments he feels bad, you can see that he is only numb because he self medicates. At heart he does care. If he were truly a ASPD, he would not have those moments of remorse and feeling bad. ASPD also don't come across as cynical.

[@20teamplayer]

Trippy ThaGod So can a lot of these theories. But there is evidence that he is smarter than he's often portrayed to be. I suppose that the question is kind of a mute point because if there's "an infinite number of realities" than there's is one we're Morty is a bonafide genius.

[@trippythagod1189]

20teamplayer I agree

[@shadyd2544]

20teamplayer The only confusing thing about that is that Rick while saying there are infinite realities (which is a real hypothesis in science) also says there are limited number of universe's they can jump to.

[@20teamplayer]

Shady D That might be by design. He may have preprogrammed the gun to screen out realities that are toxic to humans. Or perhaps there's some quantum mechanic rule that would cause realities to start breaking down if they kept moving from one to the next.

[@LucasLeonelSK]

This analysis make the show sound even better.

[@tisme6875]

I feel that....Rick is such a Rick, because he literally is always right. He is a narcissist because there is no other way for him to perceive himself, due to the fact he's never wrong. The reason he has Morty accompany him, is in hopes that if Morty, someone who is so....well, Morty, could prove Rick to be wrong, then perhaps he can rid himself of said narcissism, thus being able to care for his family as he should. Which shows in the fact there are times when you can see Rick cares, even for Jerry. When Jerry decided to not go in the house that one episode, you see Rick smile as if to say, "You're doin good, you're learning Jerry"....of course Jerry eventually tried to go in and Rick became such a Rick again...but the point still remains.

[@deletedacc3953]

[@jasonq7504]

Rick has always been with Morty. He jumped timelines. I believe he jumped into a timeline when the show starts, where he replaces a Rock that died 20 years ago. That's why the Beth of that timeline missed him so much. In his original timeline, he never left the family. So for him, it was a smooth transition, but to the new family, he was gone for that whole time. My guess is that he abandoned Evil Morty to the Galactic Federation, and jumped to the first convenient timeline he found.

[@missiontobeaman3111]

[@bethzidavelez5376]

Every time Rick opens himself up to someone, they leave. Beth's mother is believed to have died, Evil Morty ostensibly left freely once aquiring the ability to, Rick's circle of friends drifted apart reuniting only under special occasions, Birdperson died (after he himself opened up to an outsider), Unity left Rick twice, the list goes on. That'd make a Rick of anyone.

[@zeehero7280]

Rick doesn't think he's smarter than everyone else though, He IS. that does not excuse behaving badly towards others of course, or acting like he does, but he is correct that he's the smartest one in practically any room he walks into. And that very same intelligence and knowledge is the source of so much of his misery. he's always drunk and doing crazy things to distract himself.

[@buzzard472justin7]

I mean, it could easily be the same morty he sees as a baby. Rick could have easily used his portal gun to check in on his family whenever, regardless of whether or not his family knows. It could be a different morty in his memories, but it could just as easily be the same morty we know and love.

[@mcparadise97]

That point she made about how Evil Morty could be the original Morty and that Rick cared about him, but left him because he turned evil and smart, (maybe even smarter than Rick, which probably scared him) just messed with all my theories...so it could be a rational explanation to why Rick doesn't care too much about the Morty that we all know as the "original" Morty, because of the fact that Rick can't let himself care about another Morty again because he was hurt so bad by the original one he truly cared about...but then that would bring us to how evil Morty hurt Rick in such a irreparable way that he would be so messed up...my mind has been blown but also shaken 😵

[@oranebrown2169]

Rick was once a loving rick, who raise a family and worked for the citadel. He groomed his Morty as a precarious child, the citadel was in disagreement, he quit the citadel and continued tutoring Morty to the point where he began exceeding Rick's capacity. Rick grew terrified and detached, Morty began to act out, which in events leads to rick abandantment of the family.

[@daviddunford8265]

The memory of Rick's wife and Beth dying in the explosion with Rick watching in horror was how Simple Rick came about. Rick tried to get Simple Rick to do something...maybe the portal gun like he says in the episode, and when he refuses, he bombs Simple Rick's wife and Beth. Having a portal gun, he finds the Citadel where the Willy Wonka Rick realizes he can capitalize on it.

[@l.salevi]

After watching this, it just made me sad. Is this how Rick feels??

[@Bananer-Oil]

Rick has a lot of problems going on with himself. Long description short, Rick makes himself seem like a nihilistic, uncaring asshole to everyone around him as he is afraid of opening up, and the truth is, Rick deeply loves his family and as shown in the show, protects and saves them multiple times. Even if there are infinite versions of his family members, he still doesn't want to let his guard down and possibly lose his family. He loves them. He just hides it so well, that even Morty is now convinced that Rick cares about nothing and no one, which isn't the case.

[@mark7272]

The soundtrack suits the mood of the message so damn well

[@jonathangary5456]

The interaction at the Jerry Jamboree is significant, because that scene with the Jerry mix-up shows that we did not follow C-137's Rick and Morty home. The Rick that asked if that was 5126 Jerry, was our C-137 Rick and the Rick and Morty that did not have a ticket was another universe's Rick. When we followed them home, that's when we were introduced to Mr. Poopy Butthole, signifying that we were in an alternate universe. Anytime Mr. Poopy Butthole is in the show, we are with alternate Rick and Morty. Anytime there is no Mr. Poopy Butthole, there is a good chance that we are with C-137 Rick. Think about that for a minute...

[@thedoctrine101]

Rick is not particularly envious. The only times he exhibited envy is when dealing with the Morty liking the Vindicators more than him. Other than that, you dont see him exhibiting envy towards anyone, why would he? He is fucking RICK!!!!

the rick and unity episode makes me cry loll

[@JaceTimes]

Theres so many wrongs pointed out in this video, first that Rick is a narcissist which isn't true he really is special from everyone and not only believes it but is it as a fact. Second, saying his original Beth said that he left her mother doesnt mean he left Beth and never came to visit Morty when he was born. The other Beth isn't even his Beth so you can disregard everything she says about him.
