In a show with sci-fi gadgets and weapons, featuring gods, aliens, cyborgs, and multi-dimensional travelers, ''Rick and Morty has a lot of fights, and quite a few of them are very one-sided.
Season 2
- The family (minus Jerry) easily mows down the memory parasites in "Total Rickall" once they figure out how to tell who's real and who isn't. The parasites are mostly Non Action Guys who replicate through memory manipulation, while the Smiths are armed with an arsenal of Rick's deadly weapons.
- From "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate" , the show "Man Versus Car", which pits a man against a car. Michael Jenkins, despite his prodigious size and strength, can only resist pushing against the car for a few moments before he keels over backwards and dies a horrible gory death under the tires. What else were you really expecting?
- In "Look Who's Purging Now", Rick and Arthricia use the former's Powered Armor to slaughter the rich fat cats (who force the rest of the planet to participate in purge night every year), completely ripping them apart and literally dancing in their blood.
Season 3
- Armothy vs... well, everyone he and Morty fights in "Rickmancing the Stone".
- Rick vs. the generic evil agency trying to kill him in "Pickle Rick". Made all the more impressive in that he slaughters all of them after he's turned himself into a pickle, is still stuck in his pickle-cyborg body, and is using weapons Mac Gyvered out of office supplies. The only agent who poses a threat to him is Jaguar; once Jaguar switches sides, the villains don't have a chance.
- Apparently, Rick inflicted one on World Ender and his minions—the Arch-Enemy of the Vindicators—offscreen while black-out drunk in "Vindicators 3: The Return of World Ender".
- Beth also does a mostly-offscreen one to Tommy and the Froopylanders in "The ABC's of Beth" when Tommy refuses to come home with her and siccs the creatures on her. We see her beating the first couple with a baseball bat; cut to a few minutes later, where she returns covered in blood, and apparently all that's left of Tommy is his finger.
Season 4
- Rick and Morty are on the receiving end of these twice in "Never Ricking Morty":
- First, the "'Tickets Please' Guy" turns out to be super jacked, easily breaking Rick's leg and grabbing Morty in a chokehold to use him as a Human Shield, and Rick only wins by shooting the window to decompress the train car and cause the ticket collector to get sucked out.
- Then Story Lord ends up being extremely jacked, beats the absolute crap out of both Rick and Morty simultaneously, and chains them to the wall to subdue them and extract all their "story potential". They have to beat him by praying to Jesus Christ to literally descend from the heavens and save them (yes, really).
- Rick and Morty wreak havoc on the face-huggers' civilization on their way out the door in "Promortyus". And when they come back and have to fight them personally, they suit up like Voltrons and slice right through them all.
- In "Childrick of Mort", Rick has a Curb Stomp Cushion against Reggie (a literal Zeus-like god), but is largely owned by him in their fight and would have been killed if Summer and Morty hadn't saved him (completely by accident), while a Reggie-empowered Jerry is able to lead his army of Unproductives to defeat Rick's and Beth's society of clay people without much trouble.
- Bird Person's Brainwashed and Crazy Cyborg form, Phoenix Person, is probably the most formidable foe on the show so far in "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri". Despite Rick giving it his all, none of the blows he deals do serious, lasting damage to PP, who in turn messes Rick up so badly that his organs are on the floor outside his body and half his face looks like it's been torn off. And even when both of the Beths step in to fight him at once, Phoenix Person makes quick work of them too. He's only defeated thanks to Jerry distracting him long enough for Space Beth to hit the "OFF" switch on his back.
Season 5
- Morty eventually gets fed up with the Hoovians trying to kill him in "Mort Dinner Rick Andre" when he doesn't even know what he did wrong, and storms through the portal with some of Rick's tech to easily decimate their entire army and the majority of their nation within a few seconds.
- "Amortycan Grickfitti": Rick's ship, the self-proclaimed "most powerful car in the universe", quite easily wrecks the Changeformers who mock her, and, later, the entire prison after she breaks Summer, Morty, and Bruce out of it.
- The GoTrons, and especially the GoGoTron, of "Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion" take down the bug creatures with little difficulty. But once the even-bigger GoGoGoTron is stolen by the original GoTron pilots, it in turn is no match for Naruto Smith, Summer's and Morty's giant incest baby in outer space, who rips it apart like it's made of paper.
- Overlapping with Conservation of Ninjutsu, in "Rickmurai Jack", President/Evil Morty calls in about half a dozen alternate Ricks of a Citadel security force to take down Rick C-137. He uses Some Kind of Force Field that absorbs all the damage it takes, then channels it to him as a power-up, so he easily beats up all of them while taking no damage at all.
Season 6
- Rick vs. the Panda Express staff meth ring in "Final DeSmithation". He, with help from his ship, slices most of them to bits while dodging all of their gunfire with a big cheerful grin on his face, all with the Taxi theme playing in the background.
