Top 10 Rick and Morty Characters That Got Killed Off
#10: Miles Knightly
An alien master of the heisting arts, Miles Knightly steals something before Rick does, angering the genius scientist. To get back at Knightly, Rick decides to crash Heist-Con, where Knightly is presenting. After challenging Rick to a heist-off, Knightly reveals that he stole Rick’s crew and performed the theft already. However, Rick one-ups him and then some, by revealing that he used a robot programmed with a heist algorithm to hypnotize not only Knightly’s crew, but also the entire convention! Despite hating heist movies, Rick proves incredibly adept at using their tropes. A little too much, actually. After ordering the audience to steal the convention itself, they proceed to rip Miles Knightly apart! We don’t think there’s going to be a switcheroo on this twist.
#9: Japheth
When Rick asks Morty to retrieve wine he left in a dimension where time moves much faster, like Narnia, Morty runs into a dog/cow man named Hoovy. Hoovy accidentally follows Morty through to his dimension. Upon returning, he finds his wife dead and his son, Japheth, immediately kills him for leaving. As sad as Hoovy’s death is, his son’s life ends up being more impactful. After attacking Morty in revenge when he returns, Japheth then grows old and has sons of his own, who don’t believe his stories of the boy and the door. Morty ends up beating him up so much his life gives out. With his dying words, Japheth sets his sons and their whole society against Morty. Talk about a grudge!
#8: The Vindicators (Mostly)
Top 20 Rick and Morty Characters That Got Killed Off
A galactic superhero team, the Vindicators are by any other measure a powerful and successful group. However, they made the mistake of asking Rick for help against their nemesis, Worldender. Rick gets drunk and proceeds to defeat him while in a stupor, then has time to lay “Saw” style traps and puzzles for the superheroes in Worldender’s lair. Although a few of them are taken out by these, the rest end up killing each other, after the stressful situation brings out their inner conflicts. Only one, Supernova, manages to survive the outing. Still, we may not have seen the last of the group, even if most of them are gone.
#7: “Tickets Please” Guy
On a metaphysical Story Train, Rick and Morty encounter plenty of colorful characters, including an older man who takes their tickets when they are in disguise. Upon encountering them again, the “tickets please” guy proves surprisingly buff and adept at using a human shield. Rick blows out the window of the train, causing “Tickets Please” Guy to be cut in half. While his mind wakes up in another reality, his bodily injuries soon catch up to him, leading to him being in constant agony across both realities and even inspiring a religion in one. Ultimately, Morty puts “Tickets Please” Guy out of his misery, though it may have also led to the death of a whole reality too.
#6: Armothy
In order to distract the denizens of a post-apocalyptic dimension, Rick injects muscle memory and fighting experience from a dead man’s arm into Morty’s arm. This makes Morty’s arm not only a powerful killing implement, but also semi-autonomous and intelligent. While Morty uses the arm, which he dubs Armothy, to vent his frustrations about his parents’ divorce by competing in a blood dome, Armothy seeks to find the ones who killed his wife and kids. With Morty’s help, the two reach the man ultimately responsible and Armothy apparently kills him, before fading away like a ghost. While his unfinished business has to be finished by Morty, the duo’s bizarre friendship was still entertaining while it lasted.
#5: Gordon Lunas
Top 10 Times Contestants Clapped Back at Gordon Ramsay
When Rick and Morty decide to look through memories Rick removed from his grandson’s mind, we meet Gordon Lunas. In this memory, Morty looks through a telescope at the moon, only to see a sinister man with a mustache in mid-stride on the moon who looks back at him. No one believes him, and the next day, Morty is disturbed to see the man, Gordon Lunas, is now his school guidance counselor. Morty goes to his principal about it, who believes that Morty means Lunas is a deviant. After he confronts Lunas with it, Morty is horrified to find that Lunas has taken his own life and that what he saw on the telescope was just a smudge. This is just awful for everyone involved.
#4: Tony
Tony Soprano VS Walter White
When Rick discovers someone has been using his special toilet, he’s understandably furious. He goes to great lengths to find the culprit, and it turns out to be Tony, a soft-spoken office worker and widower. Although Rick decides against killing him, he still tries to rebuff Tony. However, Tony continues using Rick’s toilet and is unfazed by his threats. Even a simulation of the afterlife isn’t enough to deter him. Rick’s simulation pushes Tony to live his life to the fullest, which he does – before tragically dying while skiing on “space Everest.” Tony’s death is so sad because he was just a nice guy who just wanted to be Rick’s friend. Rick might have enjoyed his company if he weren’t too busy pushing him away.
#3: Memory Parasites
The Smith family house becomes infested with alien parasites. This isn’t anything out of the ordinary for them, but the twist is that these parasites insert memories of themselves into their victims’ brains; making them believe they’re trusted friends or family. This leads to plenty of amusing “flashbacks” of their adventures with the family and to a lot of great character designs and concepts. Eventually, Morty figures out that they can only create happy memories, leading to a massacre of everyone they love the most. We’ll miss Pencilvester most of all…
#2: Tammy Guterman
Tammy Snitches & Peter Gets Stitches: The Bachelor Week 5 Recap I The Bach Chat 🌹
Tammy Guterman seemed like just the average high school girl who fell for Rick’s best bud, Birdperson. However, she turned out to be a Galactic undercover agent that killed her new husband. While Birdperson’s death hits hard, he does come back as Phoenixperson. When Rick finally comes into conflict with Tammy again, it’s because she’s chasing one of Rick’s daughters, Beth. One of the Beths. Who may or may not be a clone. Anyway, when both Beths are kidnapped, Tammy has Rick at gunpoint when Morty and Summer come to the rescue, allowing Rick to shoot Tammy dead in revenge for making him go to a wedding. Also for killing his bestie. Still, Tammy proves useful even in death.
#1: Fart
When Morty decides to stop an assassin Rick sells a gun to, he saves the life of a green, bejeweled cloud, whom Rick nicknames “Fart.” The telepathic gas is fond of singing and creating psychedelic montages in people’s heads. Although it proves surprisingly effective in getting them out of jams, ultimately it wants to return to its own kind through a wormhole. Morty is sad to see it go – at least until it reveals that it plans to return to kill all carbon-based life in the universe. With much regret, Morty kills Fart. It’s one of the first times Morty takes a life on purpose and marks a major development in his character. Goodbye innocence and goodbye moon men…
