The great irony with Rick and Morty.

Is the belief that nothing matters because there's an infinite number of universes.  If everything goes wrong there's a new universe where it didn't. 

And yet, the show makes it clear this isn't the truth. Everything matters because every decision has a permanent effect.  Everything from the house being teleported to the entire world being cronenberged.

The show gets criticized for it's nihilism due to several characters believing that nothing matters, yet ironically the world around the characters seems to show that their belief is wrong.
