In a show with sci-fi gadgets and weapons, featuring gods, aliens, cyborgs, and multi-dimensional travelers, ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty has a lot of fights, and quite a few of them are very one-sided.

* 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 Guy}}s who replicate through memory manipulation, while the Smiths are armed with an arsenal of Rick's deadly weapons.

* 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 Gyver|ing}}ed 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 ArchEnemy of the Vindicators--[[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome 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 [=ABCs=] 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.

* Rick and Morty are on the ''receiving'' end of these twice in "Never "[[Recap/RickAndMortyS4E6NeverRickingMorty Never Ricking Morty":Morty]]":



* 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 CurbStompCushion 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 BrainwashedAndCrazy {{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.
* Morty eventually [[RageBreakingPoint 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 Grickffitti": 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 ConservationOfNinjutsu, in "Rickmurai Jack", [[spoiler:President/Evil Morty]] calls in about half a dozen alternate Ricks of a Citadel security force to take down Rick C-137. He uses SomeKindOfForceField 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.
* 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 ''Series/{{Taxi}}'' [[SoundtrackDissonance theme playing in the background]].
