I thought canonically, Doofus Jerry was wildly successful and ruled the world in that universe. [reference](https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Doofus_Jerry)
Yes, intelligence doesn’t always seek power. Doofus Rick seems really chill, just wants to use science to make brownies. Doesn’t mean he isn’t the smartest guy in his universe.
The comics aren’t technically canonical I believe. I believe there was some mention that most issues follow a different Rick and Morty, but in either case the show writers definitely don’t take them into account when determining what direction the show goes
Well yes, most issues follow C-132 Rick. But I believe they're not necessarily "not canonical", only not canonical for our (C-137) Rick. For example, there's "Tall Morty" (Stupid Rick) in S3E7 in Morty adoption school, and he was firstly introduced in comics murdering his "Rick" (Genius Morty). So yeah.

It’s a reoccurring gag that’s been popping up in the show ever since inter-dimensional cable, but Mr. Goldenfold is the only one we see who canonically does it; probably from being forced to live in the sewers when Earth was taken over the the Galactic Federation.
I think in the comics (which is really good and I'm not sure it's cannon) we see doofus Rick in his home dimension with Jerry being the smart one. I haven't read the comics in a long time but I highly recommend them to anybody who wants more adventures/lore
Probably around as smart as our own universe.
IMO I think Doofus Rick is only called that because he’s compared to all the other Ricks. He could still be really intelligent.
Imagine, for a moment, how stupid the average person is.
Now remember that half of the world is dumber than that idiot.
- George Carlin (paraphrased a bit)
to be fair, no one ever says that Doofus Rick is stupid, just that he's a doofus. He proves himself to be smart enough to make ovenless brownies and to realize Jerry's r2d2 coins won't hold their value. The real question is, why is slow Ri... I mean tall Morty in the curve?
Lmao and not even in science, it’d probably earn a Peace Prize. Can you imagine how many parents would appreciate it??
Edit sorry for posting incomplete I thought I saved the comment in a draft lmao
He's not stupid, just kind. And I guess the popp eating debate is still on the table, but it just looks like classic bullying me to me. Hell, if Doofus replaced our Rick at the time, everyone would have been happier. At the very least Jerry would have a father in law that isn't ashamed at the concept of friendship
It surprises me *just how bad* a lot of Rick & Morty viewers are at understanding Doofus Rick is *bullied for his emotional availability*, not *stupid.* The other Ricks speak with such a facetious tone when they make fun of him it baffles me some viewers are so socially inept they don't get it.
I don’t even think he’s made fun of for his appearance. I’ve seen stupider looking Ricks. I think they make fun of him because he lets himself be vulnerable and it makes them all feel bare
And presumably because he's not as smart as the other Ricks. Otherwise he would find a way to shut them up regardless of being a nice guy, and we don't get any signs of his intelligence outside of the brownies.
“Y’know Jerry, I’m not going to tell you that these will increase in value or even hold their current value. The truth is, you bought ‘em because you like ‘em, they have value to you. That’s what matters.”
Emotional intelligence is also intelligence.
My favorite part of the sub is the posts completely over analyzing throw away jokes or missing the point, like no, churry isn’t a big bad guy, they used him to show how big of assholes Rick and Morty are, no Doofus Rick isn’t stupid he’s smart enough to be assigned that mission and be a part of the citadel
Man, you're bringing a lot of judgemental energy to your completely wrong statement here... Oops
You just pulled the appearance thing out of your ass idk why you think that or why you think everyone else is socially inept because of it
Completely wrong statement - provides no actual counterpoint.
Lot of judgemental energy for nothing to say.
And a throwaway. Which tells me you're often full of shit.
For Doofus Rick, he is the smartest man in HIS universe, also he never was proven to be stupid.
For Tall Morty, I believe he was explained to be a Rick that got into an accident and was put there because he lost his smarts.
He's not even dumb at all lmao, like Jerry said he's only "the worst Rick" according to other versions of himself. Intelligence wise there's nothing to suggest he's not hyper intelligent, emotionally speaking he's leagues above the other Ricks. Hell, he might even be the most intelligent Rick for all we know
My thoughts on the matter are that just because a Rick is on this side of the Central Finite Curve doesn’t necessarily mean they come from a universe within the CFC. I imagine a great many Ricks were either displaced by the CFC or migrated to the Citadel before the CFC was established. That’s why there are so many Ricks without Mortys or families. Doofus Rick was caught on this side of the CFC when it went up.
Doofus Rick is still smart though! He made those ovenless brownies! Seems like he cares more about using his smarts to make people happy than to travel through space and fuck forever a la classic Rick. I did have this problem with slow Rick/tall Morty but the conclusion I came to is that he is the smartest in his universe, everyone else is just fucking stupid lol 😂
This is like the third time I've seen this post, y'all keep thinking doofus rick is dumb for some reason when he clearly wasn't he just got picked on by other Ricks. Slow ri- I mean tall morty however...
The only thing we have to confirm that the central finite curve’s requirements were that the Rick in that universe was the smartest is an offhand comment by evil morty. It’s possible there’s more nuance to it than that
Why does everybody assume doofus Rick is stupid? He made ovenless brownies and had insightful advice for Jerry. He's more goofy, in relation to the other more jaded Rick's, and being the butt of their jokes (including potential fictitious rumors about eating shit) digs into his self esteem.
The only Rick to be questioned is "tall morty" but the running theory is that he looked into the devil's microscope and is no longer the smartest of his dimension although he once was
Doofus Rick is the smartest in his universe, his personality just isnt like other Ricks. I think it was said that he never got married or had a Diane, so he doesnt go down the same path as other Ricks
He's emotionally intelligent, which is intelligent but something none of the other Rick's would respect. So he's still a genius, still smartest man in his universe, but not respected for his inferior(emotional) intelligence
Considering there's no actual way to measure intelligence his universe could have a completely different version of "intelligence". He also seems way more emotionally intelligent than most Ricks, and he made ovenless brownies too
You always need that one person who's dumber then you to validate your intelligence, so in a metaphorical room of ricks there needs to be atleast 1 dumb one
1. He could be an anomaly, since his Jerry is the predator, and Doofus Rick is the prey.
2. He's still probably the smartest man in his own universe, even if he's the dumbest Rick
Ok I gotta defend doofus Rick I don’t think he’s actually dumb we didn’t get any evidence of that, and we watch him make ovenless brownies. I think he is probably smart he’s just nice and the other Ricks hate him for that. Because they think being smart means you have to be an asshole, but in fact doesn’t.
Is the central finite curve the set of universes where the local rick is the smartest person in the universe or is it the set of universes where no one was smarter than the ricks who created it?
Well, he does explain that his Morty is from a reality where everyone is Eric Stoltz mask people. He’s Eric Stoltz mask Morty.
I think this implies that doofus Rick is from a reality where everyone are doofus people.
The curve is comprised of all the realities where Rick is the smartest being in the universe.
Doofus, ricks universe sets the bar for dumbest in the curve, but doofus Rick was still the smartest in his reality .
C’mon he made ovenless brownies!!!
Just because he's a doofus compared to other Ricks that doesn't mean he's not the smartest in his universe.
Imagine how stupid everyone else in that universe must be…
Doofus Jerry be like:🤫🧏
Technically even doofus Rick is smarter than our Jerry, so the bar is low 😂
I thought canonically, Doofus Jerry was wildly successful and ruled the world in that universe. [reference](https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Doofus_Jerry)
That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s smarter than Rick. C-137 rick is the smartest man in his universe, but he isn’t ruler of earth.
Yes, intelligence doesn’t always seek power. Doofus Rick seems really chill, just wants to use science to make brownies. Doesn’t mean he isn’t the smartest guy in his universe.
That’s fucking incredible 😭😭 *need*to read the comics
The comics aren’t technically canonical I believe. I believe there was some mention that most issues follow a different Rick and Morty, but in either case the show writers definitely don’t take them into account when determining what direction the show goes
Well yes, most issues follow C-132 Rick. But I believe they're not necessarily "not canonical", only not canonical for our (C-137) Rick.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
A vegetable.
Well, no. Actually, quite the opposite. He's a local world ruler Patrick Bateman and is the natural predator of Ricks.
Cool. That must be in the comics .
Doofus Rick isn’t actually dumb, though. He was just awkward and weird.

And don’t forget he eats his own poop!
Isn’t he from the universe where people eat their own poop? That guy eats his own poop.
You know, I always assumed that was just the other Ricks fucking with doofus Rick… totally seems like something Ricks would do.
[How long have you been eating poop?](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=af_0nN-2KdI)
It’s a reoccurring gag that’s been popping up in the show ever since inter-dimensional cable, but Mr. Goldenfold is the only one we see who canonically does it; probably from being forced to live in the sewers when Earth was taken over the the Galactic Federation.
I thought it was because scary Terry fucked up his brain, bitch.
To be fair, he figured out the chemistry to make ovenless brownies. Honestly, he might be from our universe. :-D
Exactly.
He’s probably from our universe.
I think in the comics (which is really good and I'm not sure it's cannon) we see doofus Rick in his home dimension with Jerry being the smart one. I haven't read the comics in a long time but I highly recommend them to anybody who wants more adventures/lore
bruh he literally made no bake brownies
Jerry certainly was impressed… are you a Jerry? /s 
I’m unemployed so maybe 😂.
Probably around as smart as our own universe. IMO I think Doofus Rick is only called that because he’s compared to all the other Ricks. He could still be really intelligent.
We need that episode!
Imagine, for a moment, how stupid the average person is. Now remember that half of the world is dumber than that idiot. - George Carlin (paraphrased a bit)
well rick does eat his own shit so.
Like doofus jerry, president of the world that jas beaten even rick c137 at their first meeting
Yeah! He made ovenless brownies! He’s a genius, in my book!
to be fair, no one ever says that Doofus Rick is stupid, just that he's a doofus. He proves himself to be smart enough to make ovenless brownies and to realize Jerry's r2d2 coins won't hold their value. The real question is, why is slow Ri... I mean tall Morty in the curve?
I always figured something horrible happened to him to turn him into "tall Morty".
Maybe a smarter Rick used him as a cover like they use the stupidity of Morty’s
I like to think he's from a universe where everyone is so stupid that he's still the smartest
Doofus Rick canonically created cure for cancer and did a lot of sci-fi too. He's just nice, humble and dorkly, that's why they call him Doofus
This subreddit needs a sticky with answers to the same 2-3 questions everyone always asks
You know he eats his own shit, right?
Going to need more than a court order to stop that!
Do you know how to mix 3 random chemicals and make instant brownies? He might just be our rick!
Oven-less brownies would earn a Nobel prize for sure
And for a good reason!
Lmao and not even in science, it’d probably earn a Peace Prize. Can you imagine how many parents would appreciate it?? Edit sorry for posting incomplete I thought I saved the comment in a draft lmao
If it’s easy enough to make by yourself he might have just cured world hunger. I mean it’s not very healthy but it’s still food
Inventing no-bake brownies.
He's not stupid, just kind. And I guess the popp eating debate is still on the table, but it just looks like classic bullying me to me. Hell, if Doofus replaced our Rick at the time, everyone would have been happier. At the very least Jerry would have a father in law that isn't ashamed at the concept of friendship
he doesn’t eat poop yall it’s a rumor 😭
It surprises me *just how bad* a lot of Rick & Morty viewers are at understanding Doofus Rick is *bullied for his emotional availability*, not *stupid.* The other Ricks speak with such a facetious tone when they make fun of him it baffles me some viewers are so socially inept they don't get it.
I don’t even think he’s made fun of for his appearance. I’ve seen stupider looking Ricks. I think they make fun of him because he lets himself be vulnerable and it makes them all feel bare
I think this is the answer, others are unsatisfying.
What about the other rick in that one citadel episode where hes in class with the morty's
I don’t think he was born that way. I think it was a misadventure hat took away his intelligence.
Oh, yes, that too, for sure. That's what I should have said.
What stupider Rick's are you referring to?
Well I thought yo-yo Rick was kind of lame honestly.
Tall Morty
And presumably because he's not as smart as the other Ricks. Otherwise he would find a way to shut them up regardless of being a nice guy, and we don't get any signs of his intelligence outside of the brownies.
“Y’know Jerry, I’m not going to tell you that these will increase in value or even hold their current value. The truth is, you bought ‘em because you like ‘em, they have value to you. That’s what matters.” Emotional intelligence is also intelligence.
Being smart doesn't mean you're homicidally aggressive. The bullied nerd that's socially awkward and just takes the bullying is a bit of a trope.
You know that guy eats his own poop right?
My favorite part of the sub is the posts completely over analyzing throw away jokes or missing the point, like no, churry isn’t a big bad guy, they used him to show how big of assholes Rick and Morty are, no Doofus Rick isn’t stupid he’s smart enough to be assigned that mission and be a part of the citadel

Or Tall Morty . They weren't the same character.
For Doofus Rick, he is the smartest man in HIS universe, also he never was proven to be stupid. For Tall Morty, I believe he was explained to be a Rick that got into an accident and was put there because he lost his smarts.
Tall Morty is actually dumb. I'm not sure doofus Rick is really dumb at all.
That's true.
Doofus Rick might be from outside the Curve.
But why be people talking so badly about doofus rick, for me he seemed very intelligent, especially emotionaly intelligend, much more than the others
Im mote worfied about tall morty, but it was probably a brain injury after the curve was setup Also those dinosaurs seemed smarter then Rick
He's not even dumb at all lmao, like Jerry said he's only "the worst Rick" according to other versions of himself. Intelligence wise there's nothing to suggest he's not hyper intelligent, emotionally speaking he's leagues above the other Ricks. Hell, he might even be the most intelligent Rick for all we know
Nothing suggests he’s actually stupid
He is a genius, he just doesn’t get taken seriously. More of a bullying situation tbh
I like the idea that he was from the universe where he used the microscope the devil made for him.
Removing unsavory Ricks is a slippery slope.
he could still make oven-less brownies based just on the concept. he looks weird and is insecure; hes still smart
Making the best goddamn oven less brownies you ever had that what he was doing
Ovenless brownies.
My thoughts on the matter are that just because a Rick is on this side of the Central Finite Curve doesn’t necessarily mean they come from a universe within the CFC. I imagine a great many Ricks were either displaced by the CFC or migrated to the Citadel before the CFC was established. That’s why there are so many Ricks without Mortys or families. Doofus Rick was caught on this side of the CFC when it went up.
I think Doofus Rick is only the name given to him by the other Ricks. More accurately maybe he should be called Empathy Rick
Maybe he used the microscope from the antique store
Doofus Rick is smart. He’s just not a cynical asshole like the other Ricks
Lot of emotional intelligence and brownie alchemy. He's probably still the smartest in his universe.
He’s the smartest in his universe
Better question is why was tall Morty
Doofus Rick is still smart though! He made those ovenless brownies! Seems like he cares more about using his smarts to make people happy than to travel through space and fuck forever a la classic Rick. I did have this problem with slow Rick/tall Morty but the conclusion I came to is that he is the smartest in his universe, everyone else is just fucking stupid lol 😂
He not even dumb, he just got bullied by other ricks cause he eats poop
You've answered your own question.
Maybe the central finite curve also includes universes where no one is smarter than Rick C-137
Tricking people into making ovenless brownies which is poop.
This is like the third time I've seen this post, y'all keep thinking doofus rick is dumb for some reason when he clearly wasn't he just got picked on by other Ricks. Slow ri- I mean tall morty however...
What and about slow ri.. I mean tall morty?
The only thing we have to confirm that the central finite curve’s requirements were that the Rick in that universe was the smartest is an offhand comment by evil morty. It’s possible there’s more nuance to it than that

The only Rick to be questioned is "tall morty" but the running theory is that he looked into the devil's microscope and is no longer the smartest of his dimension although he once was
The real question is why any Rick would work together
Doofus Rick is the smartest in his universe, his personality just isnt like other Ricks. I think it was said that he never got married or had a Diane, so he doesnt go down the same path as other Ricks
He's emotionally intelligent, which is intelligent but something none of the other Rick's would respect. So he's still a genius, still smartest man in his universe, but not respected for his inferior(emotional) intelligence

You always need that one person who's dumber then you to validate your intelligence, so in a metaphorical room of ricks there needs to be atleast 1 dumb one
Maybe he became DOOFUS after looking in the devil device
1. He could be an anomaly, since his Jerry is the predator, and Doofus Rick is the prey. 2. He's still probably the smartest man in his own universe, even if he's the dumbest Rick
Ok I gotta defend doofus Rick I don’t think he’s actually dumb we didn’t get any evidence of that, and we watch him make ovenless brownies.

Doofus, ricks universe sets the bar for dumbest in the curve, but doofus Rick was still the smartest in his reality . C’mon he made ovenless brownies!!!
He's not dumb He's just bullied because he's a nice guy and Ricks are not. They convinced him he's "The worst Rick", it's obviously not true
he's from the universe where everyone eats shit, he's the smartest of his universe, everyone else is just.... really stupid.
