Timeline placement and reasoning:
The timeline of the show is extremely convoluted, considering that, despite multiple years having passed, the characters barely age. This means that the show operates in a "floating timeline" and the characters' ages should be counted from their first appearances and not from whatever year the episode premiered in as time in real world continues to pass (with Summer being scared of her dad joining Facebook in 2013 and Morty telling an alien to "take the L" in 2023). Perhaps Rick stopped the flow of time somehow and the characters stopped aging as a result, idk. From this, we can count the characters' ages.
In "Rest and Ricklaxation", Toxic Rick states he's been trapped inside Rick for 70 years, meaning he's at least that age, placing his birth year at 1943. However, an official Instagram account released a post seemingly stating that Rick is the same age as Tony Hawk, who, at the time of posting, was 54, meaning Rick was born in 1959. His daughter, Beth, had Summer when she was 17, and Summer herself is 17, meaning Beth is currently 34, placing her birth year at 1979. However, in "The CuRicksous Case of Bethjamin Button", Beth gets deaged to 10 years old, and has the same design she had when she died, meaning that her death was in 1989, meaning that Rick was born in 1962 and had her at 17. Guess underage pregnancies run in the family... That, however, is also contradicted by "Hot Rick", in which it's stated that Diane has been dead for 40 years, meaning their death happened in 1984. It could've been just a rounded up number though, who knows.
The Simple Rick commercial from "The Ricklantis Mixup" shows what appears to be Beth's 3rd birthday judging from the candles on her cake, placing that scene in 1981. In "Fear No Mort", while in the fear hole, Rick deages himself to 27, which is presumably the age he lost his family to Rick Prime. It's put into question considering Morty doesn't really know Rick's backstory, but considering he was exposed to his memories in "Rickmurai Jack", he might've partially kept them. That would mean he lost them in 1989. Later on, he began fighting other Ricks to find Rick Prime, the majority of which was shown in "Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort". Here, he's said to be 35, which means this memory takes place in 1997. That, however, gets weird, due to one memory showing Rick and Birdperson attending Squanchy's stand-up with Rick's appearance being the same as when he was 27 instead of 35, though that can be ignored for the sake of simplicity. The flashbacks in "Bethic Twinstinct" and "The Jerrick Trap" show Jerry and Beth as seemingly high schoolers, which might take place sometime before Beth's pregnancy, which might take place in about 1996.
Later on, the timeline placement gets a bit convoluted. In "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind", Beth (despite the scene taking place in another dimension, but the logic seems to apply to the normal reality Rick C-137 inhabited at the moment) states that Rick returned to the family on Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, which is January 15. It is specifically stated that it's the 1 year anniversary, but some things don't add up. In "Morty's Mind Blowers", we're shown a memory of Rick being present at Morty's 13th birthday, which could mean that he returned at least sometime before then. However, if we assume the episodes take place in the exact year they release, "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind" would have Rick celebrating the 2nd anniversary of his return to the family. Would that then mean the AU logic is off the table here? Either way, if that's the case and the next episodes continue directly after "Anatomy Park", which is at Christmas, then they must take place at an EXTREMELY compressed timespan to make it to January 15.
In "Mortynight Run", Rick is shown writing in "1-12-15" in the Jerryboree form, which means it's January 12, 2015, which is the only known date the episode is shown taking place in.
Other episodes since then have an extremely vague timespan that is hard to pinpoint, but it's definitely made certain that many episodes do not take place in the same year they release.
"Rattlestar Ricklactica" once again takes place on Christmas, and in "Never Ricking Morty", several episodes after, Rick tells Morty about how nobody goes shopping with the virus going around, definitely making reference to the COVID-19 pandemic, which at the time was in full swing, meaning that episode took place in 2020. "Rick and Morty's Thanksploitation Spectacular" takes place on Thanksgiving, which in 2021 was on November 25. However, "Bethic Twinstinct" also takes place on Thanksgiving, and in "Night Family", directly after this episode, the Smiths get taken over by the night selves and spend several months before they decide to free them, but here's where the kicker comes in. In the end scene, Rick checks for how long they've been asleep, and exclaims that "THEY'VE KILLED THE CHOCO TACO". Choco Taco was discontinued in July 2022, which means that this episode must start before then. During the montage of the night Smiths doing their activities, they're seen celebrating what appears to be Chinese New Year, which is celebrated from January to February, meaning the episode began in 2021. That would place "Rick and Morty's Thanksplotation Spectacular", as well as the rest of Season 4, 5 and 6, in 2020 and the rest of 2021. In "The Last Temptation of Jerry", Labor Day is shown to be on September 4 and Thanksgiving on November 23, which corresponds with 2023, and the entire episode takes place on April (presumably the 6th or the 9th depending on what kind of Easter they're celebrating). In that same episode, Earth Day is shown to be celebrated on April 12 instead of the 22nd, though that could just be a typo out of universe and the date the people of this reality seem to celebrate it on in-universe... or just a poster placed ahead of time. Either way, it's there). That, however, would also mean that the entire Season 7 would have to take place in an extremely compressed timespan to make it to the rest of it.
The erased memories from "Morty's Mind Blowers" (except for Morty's 13th birthday one) also appear to be taking place at indiscernible time periods, so I will not be including them.
Despite the comics and the anime being stated to be connected to the show, I will not be including them here, because 1) there are too many of them, and 2) there are too many contradictions to consider any of that canon. I also originally intended to classify the many dimensions the show takes place in but decided it's too convoluted so I'm not gunna. Deal with it.

However, "Bethic Twinstinct" also takes place on Thanksgiving, and in "Night Family", directly after this episode, the Smiths get taken over by the night selves and spend several months before they decide to free them, but here's where the kicker comes in. In the end scene, Rick checks for how long they've been asleep, and exclaims that "THEY'VE KILLED THE CHOCO TACO". Choco Taco was discontinued in July 2022, which means that this episode must start before then. During the montage of the night Smiths doing their activities, they're seen celebrating what appears to be Chinese New Year, which is celebrated from January to February, meaning the episode began in 2021. That would place "Rick and Morty's Thanksplotation Spectacular", as well as the rest of Season 4, 5 and 6, in 2020 and the rest of 2021. In "The Last Temptation of Jerry", Labor Day is shown to be on September 4 and Thanksgiving on November 23, which corresponds with 2023, and the entire episode takes place on April (presumably the 6th or the 9th depending on what kind of Easter they're celebrating). In that same episode, Earth Day is shown to be celebrated on April 12 instead of the 22nd, though that could just be a typo out of universe and the date the people of this reality seem to celebrate it on in-universe... or just a poster placed ahead of time. Either way, it's there). That, however, would also mean that the entire Season 7 would have to take place in an extremely compressed timespan to make it to the rest of it.
The erased memories from "Morty's Mind Blowers" (except for Morty's 13th birthday one) also appear to be taking place at indiscernible time periods, so I will not be including them.
Despite the comics and the anime being stated to be connected to the show, I will not be including them here, because 1) there are too many of them, and 2) there are too many contradictions to consider any of that canon. I also originally intended to classify the many dimensions the show takes place in but decided it's too convoluted so I'm not gunna. Deal with it.
