Vote up the funniest instances of sudden ultra-violence on Rick & Morty.

Rick & Morty is a quirky, animated sci-fi series created for Cartoon Network's late-night TV block, Adult Swim. Alongside all the science, misadventures, and existentialism revolving around the show's two namesake characters, there is some pretty epic violence. Rick's drunken disregard for human life and Morty's panicky, teenage-decision-making skills often result in bloody shoot-outs and brutal beat-downs. This list features some of the bloodiest, goriest, most jacked-up moments on Rick & Morty.

Fans of the show will already know that Rick & Morty never shies away from violence and sometimes the violence on the show is even incredibly funny. That's in part to the cartoon nature of the show, which always allows for more extreme violence, but also because the show is, well... hilarious.
