If there’s a “Rick and Morty” moment that has you saying “Wubba Lubba dub-dub” that didn’t make our list, share your crybaby comments down below.

"Your mom and sister died Morty! *sigh* And I moved on...from caring." -OG Jerry that moment is both cathartic and sad. To see Jerry put Morty in his place while also realizing how much pain he's gone through just to be "better" in his sons eyes.

Rick wanting to kill himself and Morty crying over Planetina leaving him definitely come to mind.

"can't you hear the earth screaming?!" was such a raw and sad line

[joshphillips]

2:55 "We are not them!! We are not them..." gets me every time.

Rick's and Tony's possible friendship is really sad since Tony was one of the few that actually understood Rick's feelings

its amazing how much a show can make u feel something

[ryanmills]

The sheer emotion in the reset button story between Morty and Glasses Girl broke me into tears so quickly. I cannot possibly have been the only cursing Jerry's name at that moment.

Morty’s speech to Summer has stuck with me ever since I first saw that episode

[JoeEnglandShow]

I'm one of those who found Morty's speech to Summer more uplifting than depressing. Letting her know that she's not alone in feeling the confusion and anger, and that it's okay, because she can still be there with people who care about her and get on with her life. Feeling a lack of meaning doesn't mean we can't find comfort and, ultimately, meaning in the company of our loved ones and life as we know it.

the sad moment I actually cried when Mr. PBH looking at his photo album seeing pictures when his cat is sick and passed away actually made me shed tears

[midnight]

"shes gone mum, i loved her so much" was the saddest moment in all of rick and morty imo
its so simple but is so relatable at the same time, everyone has experienced that grief making it so much sadder to me

[dollyaigacha]

Another thing to note when Rick sacrificed himself for Morty, time didn't split or divide again, meaning that Rick was absolutely certain of saving Morty.

[sixkicksfightertricks]

It's crazy how the artificial Diane scene from s6e1 wasn't mentioned. That was heart wrenching.

[zqxzqxzqx]

Another thing about the Unity episode...It's the first time Beth tries to set boundaries with Rick. Considering this, if he'd successfully killed himself, she may have blamed herself and would have been devastated. Now realize, in the show's multiverse, there's a version where this actually happened...

[teddykazandjiev]

The part where Rick gives Morty the time colar and is ready to die in the endless void of... cats hits differently. Once you know that Morty is the grandson of Rick Prime and yet Rick C-137 saved him and was 100 times the grandfather Rick Prime was to his own biological grandson it's so wholesome.

Rick & Morty is definitely one of the few shows that have you thinking about your life & the decision you make. 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

[commentarywithconnor]

I remember watching Rick attempt suicide and as a recovering addict (who was in active addiction at the time) I came very close to attempting suicide. That scene had a massive influence on me. I’m here today as a product of the things I’ve learned, experienced, and the immense work I’ve done on myself to get better. That scene was one of many moments that helped to save my life.

[realizedpotential]

When that citadel Morty throws himself in that trash dump portal was sad because he did it with the intention of offering his life for the sake of mortys lives being bettered through his wish. He hoped his existence was worth enough for that tradeoff or remotely worth anything for that matter and at the end, doubted it but did it anyway because he couldn't continue living that way plus the off chance he'd make a difference. A true hero.

[hotrodandrube]

The wind calling Jerry a loser after the wolf ate his unemployment check and threw it up was one for me.
