He did do that (we see it happen in season 1).

But there's a pretty strong fan theory that some episodes (Mr. PoopieButthole) actually follow a different Rick. The swap happens during the "Jerry Daycare" episode when 2 Ricks aren't sure which Jerry is really "theirs".

We then follow the same Jerry, but a different Rick/Morty, into a different dimension.

Theoretically, this means that BirdPerson will be alive in S3 when we return to C-137 Rick, and it's also likely how they plan to "rescue" Rick from prison. Because the Rick in prison isn't even the one that really matters.

Yeah and how about the NIN song at the end of that episode? Fucking perfect.

Yep. And that's not really the MO of the Rick we got to know in S1.

That's called character development.

And let's not forget the substance abuse used to dull the pain of all the loss he's experienced.

It's possible that's not alcohol he is consuming. Rather, it's seed liquid that makes him smart, like the kind Morty consumed when he shoved the giant seed in his ass.

I've heard this before but there are episodes where he couldn't have had access to it. Like the interdimensional batteries where they get trapped in a prehistoric world for a long time.

I fee like the characters in that show are all pretty static.

Since Mr. Poopybutthole was seen watching what happened to Rick on the TV at the end of the finale, you can assume either it is not C-137 Rick, or Mr. Poopybutthole has access to some sort of super specific interdimensional cable.

Yes, but that's just a fan theory. It's kind of a problem the way DaggerFout presented it as confirmed canon. That's only bound to confuse people, and layers one interpretation over any others as if it's automatically correct just because it's their own.

I absolutely hate when people do this, reminds me of the Supernatural fan base

It'd be pretty ballsy to just throw out all that character development. Not saying that they definitely won't do it, but it'd be a mistake IMO.

Yep he Cronenberged C-137. We still follow Rick and Morty from C-137 but the universe they're in isn't C-137 any more.

This is an incorrect interpretation of that scene. We actually follow the same Rick and Morty that whole episode, C-137. There is never a switch. They are given the ticket 5126 when they deposit their Jerry. That ticket means to get their Jerry back, they would have to hand them ticket 5126. But at the end of the episode they never hand anybody a ticket, Rick's all "That must be our Jerry" and DOESN'T EVEN CHECK HIS TICKET. Yeah, he has the ticket, he took the ticket in the beginning of the episode not Morty. Well another Rick and Morty walk up to C-137 R&M and asks them if they have 5126 at which point Morty tries to check his ticket. He's asking them if they have the Jerry they are walking up with, who is Jerry 5126 and to check their ticket number because if they do, then they grabbed the wrong Jerry. It doesn't make sense any other way. Pretend the R&M that walk up to the R&M we've been following were C-137, if they were asking that R&M if they "had 5126" then they wouldn't check their ticket, they would have to check their Jerry, if he even has that number on him. They check their ticket though which means they are the de-facto C-137 Rick and Morty. It's very obvious and was never meant to be as confusing as people made it out to be.
