* AnimateInanimateObject: Deconstructed; One adventure is Morty having Rick animate a churro for him to have as a friend. When Morty comes to him asking when it'll wear off, Rick explains that to bring Churrie to life without needing any internal organs he had to make him functionally immortal. Morty, not happy to learn this, abandons Churrie on a barren planet, which leads him to swear vengeance.

* TooDumbToLive: Morty repeatedly misinterprets the specialized guns Rick makes for him, partially due to ambiguity in how Rick describes them. First, he uses a Gorilla Gun, which he assumes will "turn a bully into a gorilla"; it's actually meant to kill gorillas, and ''merely'' horribly mains the bully. Rick questions why Morty would even do that in the first place; it would just make the problem worse. Second, Morty stupidly shoots himself with the Bully Gun, thinking ''he'' would turn into a bully after Rick understood the last miscommunication, but it just kills him (and then he's revived by Rick). Finally, Rick gives him a normal-looking gun that ''specifically'' shoots bad people...[[ExactWords which means it shoots a ball of goop that turns into serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer]].
