• Critical Dissonance: The episode "Pickle Rick" was acclaimed by critics and won an Emmy. Detractors of the show deem it a manifestation of the faux-intellectuality the show supposedly promotes while at the same time making very childish jokes, while fans who dislike anything post season 2 point out to the therapy subplot as weak and the therapist as an Author Avatar to the new writers of the show in their supposed attempt to "hijack" the show from it's supposed original sense of "fun".
• Fan Preferred Pairing: A lot of fans would have loved it had Morty not dumped Planetina (Sure, she's an eco-terrorist, she's still a saint compared to a lot of females he's associated with.) Unfortunately, the writers never intended her to be anything but a Deconstructive Parody of Captain Planet and had no plans to extend her character beyond one episode.
• Memetic Mutation: Pickle Rick. First unironically, then used it ironically to mock what the users of the meme deem "pseudo-intellectuals". And then being referenced at exhaustion everytime a character in any work gets turned into an object or animal.
• Moral Event Horizon: In "The Wedding Squanchers" Tammy betrays Birdperson as part of a Honey Trap for the Galactic Federation and kills him.
• Never Live It Down: The show will never live down the "Pickle Rick" joke and episode and the mockery it inspired, as it overshadowed basically everything else on the show thanks to Memetic Mutation.
• Squick:
  • In "Lawnmower Dog", Rick and Morty react this way when seeing the dream version of Summer acting sexy. And even worse when she suggests a "three generation sandwich". Eww...
  • In "Ricksy Business", Squanch's "squanching" is actually auto-erotic asphyxiation...
