In multiple episodes, animals die.
I will say the Pickle Rick episode is particularly dark though.

There are animals getting hurt consistently but never intentional. In s1e1, Jerry rubs the family dogs face in piss very briefly after it pissed on the carpet. I wouldn't class that as abuse, but still harming the dog.

Throughout the show. The darkest is 3x03 where rick as a pickle kills a group of rats. Its very gory. Organs are ripped out and rat are exploded, though jokes are made through it.

In S04E04 "Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim's Morty" several Enemy dragons are destroyed by a magically created dragon entity. Balthromaw the dragon gets mildly injured in comical fashion including being hung (which would take years to kill a dragon) and an arrow is accidentally shot into his eye (he lives).

Season 2 Episode 4: I don't remember if there are snakes but there are so many weird characters that I think there is at least 1 but hardly ever see him I think. Episode 5 Season 2: Rick Can Turn People Into Snakes: Once At The Beginning And Once At The End: Season 2 Episode 6: A Seprent Sticks Out Of The Ankle Of Rick's Armor. Episode 7 Season 2: Beth's portrayal of Jerry looks like a snake. Season 3 Episode 8 Morty seems to be vomiting a snake. Season 4 Episode 3: At the very beginning of the snake falls on Rick and Morty. later a robber with snake arms. Season 4 Episode 5 The entire episode consists of Snake. the only scene where there is none is when we saw Jerry

Snowball and his intelligent dog army. Snowball had his face rubbed in pee before he became smart. Once he became a genius and raised an army, he became the thing he sought to destroy. He and his army abused humankind, locking them in tiny cages and threatening to neuter them with scissors.

Rick also has the capability to erase memories which he often uses to either remove some sort of trauma or just selfishly remove something he doesn’t want someone to remember.

Several episodes feature over the top violence and gore. Pickle Rick has animal dismemberment and then a John Wick style assault with people getting cut apart with lasers. There is heavy violence including literally dancing in blood in the Purge episode. Plenty of other episodes have scenes where people are dismembered and blood shoots everywhere.

Rick means to sacrifice himself by giving Morty his time-stabilizing collars in season 2, episode 1. Rick is able to save himself, however.
In another episode a Morty sacrifices himself by throwing himself into a "wishing portal" to try to make life better for Morty-kind.

S1E9 Rick says he would’ve become “r*tarded” if Satan’s plan succeeded, Morty chastises him for this but Rick alleges that he would’ve “literally become mentally r*tarded.” Morty than alleges that neurotypical people have tabooed the slur to “feel better about themselves” so make of that what you will.

In S4 E7 Rick and Morty both poop themselves at the end.
In S1 E9, Jerry talks about how when Morty was little, he threw his poopy underwear outside.
In Pickle Rick (S3 E3), the Smith family has to go to family therapy because Summer huffed enemal, and Morty pees himself in class, it's not shown.

There are several 9/11 references. On an alien planet, Rick purposely avoids blowing up two buildings that look nearly identical to the Twin Towers. There is also an episode where Rick attempts to hijack a plane and says "Allahu Akbar" while wearing a fake bomb.

There are a few mentions or examples of cops but there is no copaganda. Cops are mocked in the episode "Mort Dinner Rick Andre." They are shown as being easily controlled and humiliated by a character named Mr. Nimbus. Cops being racist is also mentioned several times in different episodes.

Rick and Morty are both autistic-coded characters and both often have to fight space aliens and get injured, etc. Though specifically relating to disabilities in the final episode of Season 3 (i think it was) Rick says "Is minecraft popular with autistic people? Because I'm starting to love it" and in Season 4 episode (forgot the name of it) Rick says Morty has Aspergers (Which is an outdated term). But the violence and trouble they face is mostly because of their actions (eg: being a jerk, etc) and not because of their neurotype
In S6E6 the President calls Rick a "pompous autistic cadaver"

Rick is confirmed in the show bisexual/pansexual and numerous of his alternate dimension selves die, however the main Rick the show follows is still alive. None of the other Rick’s deaths have anything to do with their sexuality. Additionally In one episode, a horde of alien parasites infest the house and disguise themselves as people and implant false memories into the family. One of the parasites disguises itself as a bisexual man named Sleepy Gary. All of the parasites including this one are killed at the end of the episode, although his death has nothing to do with the fact that he is bisexual.

There is a literal man in a dress in the episode "Total Rickall" but he is not used as a joke. When Morty can't find a date to a dance, the butler Mr. Beauregard offers to take him. Mr. Beauregard is wearing a dress at this time. The Smith family is supportive and Beth in particular approves of the idea.

A human character has sex with the Froopyland creatures and creates hybrids, which he then eats. Some of the Froopyland creatures are NOT of human intelligence, like the one Rick fights, so they can't consent. In the origins of the hybrids, the phrase "I will hump this beast" is used, definitely implying the original creatures were animals.
