Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science-fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network’s nighttime programming block Adult Swim. It is distributed internationally by Warner Bros. Domestic Television. The series follows the misadventures of cynical mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his good-hearted but fretful grandson Morty Smith, who split their time between domestic life and interdimensional adventures that take place across an infinite number of realities, often travelling to other planets and dimensions through portals and on Rick’s flying saucer. The general concept of Rick and Morty relies on two conflicting scenarios: domestic family drama, and an alcoholic grandfather dragging his grandson into hijinks.

Roiland voices the eponymous characters, with Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, and Sarah Chalke voicing the rest of Rick and Morty’s family. The series originated from an animated short parody film of Back to the Future created by Roiland for Channel 101, a short-film festival cofounded by Harmon. Since its debut, the series has received critical acclaim for its originality, creativity, and humor. It has been nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program and won the award in 2018 and 2020. The series has also received two Annie Awards. The series has several times been the most viewed television comedy of adults. The popularity of Rick and Morty has made it a billion-dollar merchandising and media franchise.

The fifth season premiered on June 20, 2021, and consisted of ten episodes. The sixth season started airing on September 4, 2022.[2] A seventh season was confirmed as part of a long-term deal with Cartoon Network that ordered 70 new episodes.[3]

Premise and main characters

The show revolves around the adventures of the members of the Smith household, which consists of parents Jerry and Beth, their children Summer and Morty, and Beth’s father, Rick Sanchez, who lives with them as a guest. According to Justin Roiland, the family lives outside of Seattle, Washington.[4] The adventures of Rick and Morty, however, take place across an infinite number of realities, with the characters travelling to other planets and dimensions through portals and Rick’s flying saucer.[5]

Rick is an eccentric and alcoholic mad scientist, who eschews many ordinary conventions such as school, marriage, love, and family. He frequently goes on adventures with his 14-year-old grandson, Morty, a kind-hearted but easily distressed boy, whose naïve but grounded moral compass plays counterpoint to Rick’s Machiavellian ego.[6] Morty’s 17-year-old sister, Summer, is a more conventional teenager who worries about improving her status among her peers and sometimes follows Rick and Morty on their adventures.[7] The kids’ mother, Beth, is a generally level-headed person and assertive force in the household, though self-conscious about her professional role as a horse surgeon. She is dissatisfied with her marriage to Jerry, a simple-minded and insecure person, who disapproves of Rick’s influence over his family.[8]

Different versions of the characters inhabit other dimensions throughout the show’s multiverse and their personal characteristics can vary from one reality to another.[9] The show’s original Rick identifies himself as «Rick Sanchez of Earth Dimension C-137», in reference to his original universe, but this does not apply to any other member of the Smith household.[10] For instance, in the first-season episode «Rick Potion #9», after turning the entire world population into monsters, Rick and Morty move to a different dimension, leaving the original Summer, Beth and Jerry behind.[11]

Production

Development

Creators Dan Harmon (left) and Justin Roiland (right)

Rick and Morty was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon. The duo first met at Channel 101, a non-profit monthly short film festival in Los Angeles co-founded by Harmon.[12] At Channel 101, participants submit a short film in the format of a pilot, and a live audience decides which pilots continue as a series. Roiland, then a producer on reality programming, began submitting content to the festival a year after its launch, in 2004. His pilots typically consisted of shock value—»sick and twisted» elements that received a confused reaction from the audience.[12] Nevertheless, Harmon took a liking to his humor and the two began collaborating. In 2006, Roiland was fired from working on a television series he regarded as creatively stifling, and funneled his creative energies into creating a webisode for Channel 101. The result was The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti, an animated short starring parodies of Doc Brown and Marty McFly, characters from the Back to the Future film trilogy.[13] In the short, which Harmon would dub «a bastardization, a pornographic vandalization», Doc Smith urges Mharti that the solution to all of his problems is to perform oral sex on him.[14] The audience reacted to it wildly, and Roiland began creating more shorts involving the characters, which soon evolved beyond his original intentions and their obvious origin within the film from which it was culled.[14][15] Harmon would later create and produce Community, an NBC sitcom,[16] while Roiland would work primarily in voice acting for Disney’s Fish Hooks and Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time.[17]

In 2012, Harmon was briefly fired from Community. Adult Swim, searching for a more prime-time, «hit» show,[18] shortly afterward approached Harmon, who initially viewed the channel as unfit for his style. He was also unfamiliar with animation and his process for creating television focused more heavily on dialogue, characters, and story.[15] Instead, he phoned Roiland to inquire if he had any ideas for an animated series. Roiland immediately brought up the idea of using the Doc and Mharti characters, renamed Rick and Morty.[14] At first, Roiland wanted the show’s run time to consist of one eleven-minute segment, but Adult Swim pushed for a half-hour program.[18] Harmon felt the best way to extend the voices into a program would be to build a family around the characters, while Adult Swim development executive Nick Weidenfeld suggested that Rick be Morty’s grandfather. Having pitched multiple television programs that did not get off the ground, Roiland was initially very unreceptive to others attempting to give notes on his pitch.[14] Prior to developing Rick and Morty, he had created three failed animated pilots for Fox, and he had begun to feel «burned out» with developing television.[15]

The first draft was completed in six hours on the Paramount Pictures lot in Dan Harmon’s unfurnished Community office. The duo had broken the story that day, sold the pilot, and then sat down to write.[15][20] Roiland, while acknowledging a tendency for procrastination, encouraged Harmon to stay and write the entire first draft. «We were sitting on the floor, cross-legged with laptops and I was about to get up and go home and he said, ‘Wait, if you go home, it might take us three months to write this thing. Stay here right now and we can write it in six hours.’ He just had a premonition about that,» recalled Harmon.[15] In the beginning, Adult Swim was unsure of Roiland doing both voices, partially due to the undeveloped nature of the character of Morty. Harmon wrote four short premises in which Morty took a more assertive role and sent it to Mike Lazzo. Adult Swim placed a tamer TV-14 rating on the program, which was met with reluctance from the show’s staff. The network’s reason behind the rating was that it would soon begin broadcasting in prime-time, competing with major programs.[15]

The theme song for Rick and Morty by Ryan Elder was originally used in a rejected Cartoon Network pilot Roiland made called «Dog World», which was referenced in the episode «Lawnmower Dog».[21]

Writing

Harmon has noted that the writers’ room at the show’s studio bears a striking resemblance to the one used for Community.[15] In comparing the two, he noted that the writing staff of Rick and Morty was significantly smaller, and more «rough and tumble verbally».[15] The first season writing staff consisted of Roiland, Harmon, Tom Kauffman, Ryan Ridley, Wade Randolph, and Eric Acosta, while writer’s assistant Mike McMahan was also given writing credit. Described as a «very, very tiny little writers’ room with a lot of heavy lifting from everybody,» the show’s writing staff, like many Adult Swim productions, is not unionized with the Writers Guild of America,[22] though in 2022 production staff at Rick & Morty filed a petition for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board in a bid to join The Animation Guild.[23] The writing staff first meets and discusses ideas, which evolve into a story.[12] Discussions often include anecdotes from personal life as well as thoughts on the science fiction genre.[15] After breaking the story—which consists of developing its consistency and logical beginning, middle, and conclusion—a writer is assigned to create an outline. Roiland and Harmon do a «pass» on the outline, and from there the episode undergoes several more drafts. The final draft of the script is last approved by either of the co-creators.[12] Harmon has admitted that his perfectionism can sometimes be disruptive and cause writing schedule delays. For the most part, this was the reason why the third season of the show consisted of only 10 episodes instead of 14, as was initially intended.[24][25]

Many episodes are structured with use of a story circle, a Harmon creation based largely on Joseph Campbell’s monomyth, or The Hero’s Journey. Its two-act structure places the act break at an odd location in the stages of the monomyth: after The Meeting with the Goddess, instead of Atonement with the Father. Roiland has stated his and Harmon’s intentions for the series to lack traditional continuity, opting for discontinuous storylines «not bound by rules».[26] He has also confirmed that the writers avoid revisiting old tropes from the show’s past, «in fear of that coming off as disingenuous fan service.»[27] In producing the series’ first season, episodes were occasionally written out of order. For example, «Rick Potion #9» was the second episode written for the series, but was instructed to be animated as the fifth, as it would make more sense within the series’ continuity.[12]

Animation and voice recording

Animation for the show is done using Toon Boom Harmony, a vector-based 2D puppet software, which is a more economical option than traditional hand-drawn animation.[28] The post-production work is done in Adobe After Effects, and background art is done in Adobe Photoshop.[29] Production of animation is handled by Bardel Entertainment in Vancouver, Canada.[30] Roiland’s cartooning style is heavily indebted to The Simpsons, a factor he acknowledged in a 2013 interview, while also comparing his style to that of Pendleton Ward (Adventure Time) and J. G. Quintel (Regular Show): «You’ll notice mouths are kind of similar and teeth are similar, but I think that’s also a stylistic thing that … all of us are kind of the same age, and we’re all inspired by The Simpsons and all these other shows we’re kind of subconsciously tapping into.»[22] John Kricfalusi’s The Ren & Stimpy Show was another strong influence for Rick and Morty, which is why, according to Roiland, the small «w-shaped mouths» that the characters occasionally make is a reference to a similar expression that Ren frequently makes.[31] Talking about the style guide the animators of the show have to follow, season three art director Jeffrey Thompson explained that the characters are often drawn with odd or asymmetrical features, in order to avoid looking «too normal to live in the Rick and Morty universe.»[32] When recording dialogue, Roiland does a considerable amount of improvisation, in order to make the characters feel more natural.[33]

Broadcast and ratings

Episodes

In May 2012, Adult Swim unveiled its development slate that included a Rick and Morty pilot from Harmon and Roiland,[35] which was eventually picked up to series in October 2012, as one of the network’s first primetime original shows.[36] The first season premiered in December 2013 and concluded in April 2014. It comprised eleven episodes (including the pilot), and aired Mondays at 10:30 pm ET/PT.[37]

Two months earlier, in February 2014, the show had been renewed for a second season, with the press release noting that Rick and Morty consistently outperformed direct competition in its time slot.[38] Season two aired Sundays at 11:30 pm ET/PT, from July to October 2015, and comprised ten episodes.[39] In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Roiland said that Rick and Morty will remain «a big priority above anything else» for him in the future, and expressed his intention to keep the show growing.[40]

Adult Swim renewed Rick and Morty for a third season in August 2015, shortly after a successful second-season premiere.[41] The two co-creators and executive producers expressed their delight at the series’ popularity.[42] The season premiered unannounced on April 1, 2017, as part of an April Fools’ Day prank. The remaining episodes began airing weekly almost four months later, continuing in the same time slot from season two, and the initial airing concluded in October 2017.[43] Although it was originally intended for the season to consist of fourteen episodes, as a result of production delays it eventually comprised only ten.[44]

Following the conclusion of the show’s third season, co-creators Harmon and Roiland wanted to have assurance that there would be many more seasons of Rick and Morty in the future, so that they would be able to focus on the show and minimize their involvement in other projects.[45] Additionally, Harmon had expressed his wish for the upcoming fourth season to consist of more than ten episodes.[46] In May 2018, after prolonged contract negotiations, Adult Swim announced a long-term deal with the creators, ordering 70 new episodes over an unspecified number of seasons.[47][48] Roiland was confident that this big renewal deal would allow the creators to minimize the gaps between seasons to no more than a year,[3] as they would be able to schedule their time around the show and «keep the machine going.»[49]

In May 2019, the fourth season of Rick and Morty was announced to debut in November 2019.[50] The fourth season consisted of ten episodes split across two airings.[51] The first five episodes began airing on November 10, 2019,[52] while the remaining five episodes began airing on May 3, 2020.[53] The sixth season premiered on September 4, 2022.[2]

Ratings

Rick and Morty has been a ratings hit since season one,[54] with viewership doubling and tripling over their first six episodes.[55] The third season ended with the best ratings in Adult Swim history,[56] an 81 percent increase in overall viewers over the second season.[57] According to a Nielsen poll, the third season was the most watched television comedy of adults between the ages of 18 and 24.[58][59] The president of Adult Swim said that Rick and Morty «goes beyond just appealing to millennials,» with statistics suggesting that people of every age tune in to the show.[57]

The fourth season started relatively strong, with its premiere reaching 2.33 million viewers (the show’s average is 2.51 million).[60] However, interest soon appeared to taper off after the network decided to split the season in half causing a steep drop in the season’s second half–about a 40% drop in viewership from the third season.[61] The fourth episode of the fourth season saw 1.62 million viewers, which was noted to not be impressive in its own right, but in that it showed consist viewership especially when competing against shows like The Walking Dead in the same time slot.[62] The season five premier episode was posted on YouTube and had 1.7 million views within the first 12 hours.[63] The television premier saw 1.9 million views.[64]

The premier of season six was shown on September 4, 2022, and saw the highest ratings in telecast for women age 18 to 24 and 18 to 34 and non-sports telecast for male viewers age 18 to 24 and 18 to 34. The episode was also the number two most-viewed non-sports program overall for viewers age 18 to 49.[65]

Streaming service and home media

The show is available to watch in its entirety on Netflix in a number of countries, while the first four seasons are available to stream in the United States on both Hulu and HBO Max.[66] Following the conclusion of the show’s third season, Adult Swim made a livestream marathon of Rick and Morty available to watch on its official website in select regions,[67] hoping to dissuade viewers from watching other illegal livestreams.[68]

In the United Kingdom, public-service broadcaster Channel 4 outbid Netflix and began airing the series with season 4, which represents its first pickup by an international television channel.[69] Season 4 was originally scheduled to premiere on Channel 4 in January 2020; viewer complaints resulted in the broadcaster moving the first episode forward to November 20 on E4.[70]

In Canada, the series initially premiered on Adult Swim on January 10, 2016;[71] and in Quebec, it premiered on Télétoon’s Télétoon la nuit block on May 18, 2018.[72]

The 11-episode first season was released by Warner Home Video on DVD (2-disc set) and Blu-ray (single BD-50 disc) on October 7, 2014. Special features include commentary and animatics for every episode, deleted scenes, behind the scenes featurette and commentaries by special guests Matt Groening, Robert Kirkman, Pendleton Ward, Al Jean and others.[73][74] The 10-episode second season was released on DVD (2-disc set) and Blu-ray (single BD-50 disc) on June 7, 2016. Special features include behind the scenes, commentary and animatics for every episode, deleted animatic sketches and a «Plumbus Owner’s Manual» booklet.[75][76] The 10-episode third season, was released on DVD (2-disc set) and Blu-ray (single BD-50 disc) on May 15, 2018. Special features include exclusive commentary and animatics for every episode, «inside the episode», the origins of Rick and Morty, and an exclusive «inside the recording booth» session.[77] On February 12, 2019, a set containing seasons 1–3 was released on DVD and Blu-ray.[78]

Uncensored versions of the show are also available to purchase on various digital platforms, including iTunes and Amazon, with the digital releases of each season containing bonus material.[66] The digital release of the first season includes the 2013 Rick and Morty Comic-Con panel,[79] the digital release of the second season includes the 2015 ATX Television Festival panel,[80] and the digital release of the third season includes commentary on every episode, as well as seven more short videos featuring co-creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland.[81]

Themes and analysis

Comedic style

The general formula of Rick and Morty consists of the juxtaposition of two conflicting scenarios: an extremely selfish, alcoholic grandfather dragging his grandson along for interdimensional adventures, intercut with domestic family drama.[14][18] Co-creator Dan Harmon has described the series as a cross between Matt Groening’s two shows The Simpsons and Futurama, balancing family life with heavy science fiction.[22] The series is inspired by British-style storytelling, as opposed to traditional American family TV stories.[12] Harmon has stated that his inspiration behind much of the concept and humor for the series comes from various British television series, such as The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Doctor Who. He figures that the audience will only understand developments from Morty’s point of view, but stated «we don’t want to be the companions. We want to hang out with the Doctor, we idolize the Doctor, but we don’t think like him, and that’s really interesting.»[82]

Occasionally, characters will acknowledge an episode’s narrative or hint at the presence of a fourth wall, suggesting that they are aware of the fact that they are characters of a TV show. Thereunder, Troy Patterson of The New Yorker notes that Rick and Morty «supplies an artful answer to the question of what follows postmodernism: a decadent regurgitation of all its tropes, all at once, leavened by some humanistic wistfulness.»[83] Sean Sebastian of Junkee says that the show can be both hilarious and deeply disturbing at the same time as it excels at the «intersection between big ideas, flippancy and wit.»[84]

Philosophy

The series addresses the insignificance of human existence as compared to the size of the universe, with no recognizable divine presence, as described by Lovecraft’s philosophy of cosmicism. The characters of the show deal with cosmic horror and existential dread, either by asserting the utility of science over magic or by choosing a life in ignorant bliss.[85] However, as Joachim Heijndermans of Geeks notes, none of them appear able to handle the absurd and chaotic nature of the universe, as Jerry gets by through denial, and Rick is a «depressed, substance-addicted, suicidal mess».[86]

Harmon describes Rick as a self-interested anarchist, who does not like being told what to do.[87] He believes that the character’s life on a larger scale has caused him mental illness,[82] and opines that «the knowledge that nothing matters—while accurate—gets you nowhere».[88] Matthew Bulger of The Humanist notes that the creators of the series are trying to communicate the message that we need to focus on human relationships and not preoccupy our minds with unanswerable questions, in order to find a sense of purpose and live a better life.[89] Eric Armstrong of The New Republic notes that Morty represents the audience, as he is «mostly there to react to Rick’s deranged schemes». The character is transformed by the truths he discovers during his interdimensional adventures with his grandfather. However, instead of sinking into depression, Morty accepts these truths that empower him to value his own life.[90]

Reception

Critical reception

Rick and Morty holds an average approval rating of 95% on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes for the entire series.[101] David Weigand of San Francisco Chronicle described it as «offbeat and occasionally coarse… the take-away here is that it works». He praised the animation direction by James McDermott for being «fresh, colorful and as wacky as the script», and states that the series possesses «shades of Futurama, South Park and even Beetlejuice«, ultimately opining that its humor felt «entirely original».[102] Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times praised the series and stated that it was «Grandparenting at its unhinged finest.»[103] In a review shortly after the second-season premiere, Sean Sebastian of Junkee said that although the crude animation and over-the-top voice acting might have discouraged some viewers to continue watching, Rick and Morty is «exceptionally well-made» and that «the more you dissect it, the more you find it has to say.»[84]

Todd Spangler of Variety gave the series a lukewarm review; saying that though it «often seems … frenetic at the expense of being witty», it represents «a welcome attempt to dream just a little bigger».[104] David Sims of The A.V. Club gave the series an «A−». In reviewing the first two episodes, he praised its «clean, simple style» of animation, and said the series has «a dark, sick sensibility». He praised its «effort to give each character a little bit of depth», and applauded Roiland’s voice talent.[105]

Industry impact

Several former Rick and Morty storyboard artists and crew members proceeded to develop their own shows or work on major new productions. Creator Justin Roiland and showrunner Mike McMahan have gone on to co-create Solar Opposites, an animated sci-fi sitcom that has been frequently compared to Rick and Morty.[106][107] McMahan also went on to create Star Trek: Lower Decks. Writer Michael Waldron would go on to write for Avengers: Secret Wars and has said that he and his colleagues are «cashing in on our ‘Rick and Morty’ street cred.» Show alumnus Jeff Loveness became a writer for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.[107] Erica Hayes, the show’s storyboard writer and directer,[108] went on to work for Netflix’s Big Mouth.[109][110] Alex Hirsch, who worked on the episode Big Trouble in Little Sanchez, would become an executive producer of Inside Job, another show that has had comparisons drawn to Rick and Morty for being similarly themed. Pete Michels, directer of over twenty Rick and Morty episodes, was also a director of two episodes of Inside Job.[111]

Other media and products

Possible feature film

Show creator Justin Roiland said in 2019 that he would love to make an R-rated Rick and Morty feature film.[135] In June 2021, producer Scott Marder confirmed that the creators and crew hope to eventually produce a feature film, with Roiland stating that it is more a question of «when», rather than «if».[136] In 2022, American filmmaker Zack Snyder expressed interest in directing a Rick and Morty science fiction movie.[137]

Spin-off series

On May 20, 2021, Adult Swim announced a short spin-off series centred on the Vindicators team (Supernova, Vance Maxiumus, Alan Rails, Crocubot and Noob Noob) previously seen on the episode, «Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender» to be in development, alongside spin-offs from other Adult Swim shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, and Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell. The 10-episode series, Vindicators 2 was released in July 2022.[138][139]

On May 18, 2022, Adult Swim announced there would be a full spin-off series based on the anime shorts, directed by Takashi Sano.[140]

Cameos

Film

Rick and Morty, both voiced by Roiland, have a cameo in 2021’s Space Jam: A New Legacy, as they claim to have experimented on the Tasmanian Devil but say they were disgusted by the results; thus, they voluntarily give him back to LeBron and the Looney Tunes by dropping him on their rocket’s windshield. Notably, they are the only characters featured from any property held by producer Warner Bros. (under its Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics division since 2019) through subsidiary Turner Broadcasting, one that would hold a variety of animated characters through Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, or any affiliation or collaboration with them.[141]

Television

Rick and Morty were featured in the couch gag at the beginning of «Mathlete’s Feat», the final episode of the twenty-sixth season of The Simpsons. Said opening involved Rick accidentally killing the family when he crash-lands into their living room. He then requested that Morty take care of the cloning process while he fools around at the Simpson household, poorly playing Lisa’s saxophone, taking at least one of Homer’s Duff beers from their fridge, and freezing Ned Flanders when he comes by to check on them. The clones end up as half-Rick monstrosities since Rick had previously cleaned the DNA vials with his own saliva, a decision he realized would occur and regretted anyway. As he and Morty fly away, the clone of Bart exclaims «No more guest animators, man!», ending the opening.[142][143]

Comics

On April 1, 2015, a Rick and Morty comic book adaptation debuted with its first monthly issue, entitled «BAM!»[144] The series was initially written by Zac Gorman and illustrated by CJ Cannon.[145] Artist Tom Fowler wrote a multi-issue story arc that began in March 2016.[146] Using the television series’ established premise of alternate timelines, the first two volumes of the comic book expressly features the Rick and Morty (and supporting cast) of a different timeline, allowing the comics to tell stories without conflicting with the canon of the show.[147] From the third volume onwards, with the departure of Gorman as written and his replacement with Kyle Starks, the series switched focus to display the off-screen adventures of the specific Rick and Morty of the television series, keeping in the canon of the show, with the Ricks and Mortys of different timelines forming the basis for backup stories.[148]

On August 29, 2018, a four-issue crossover comic with the fantasy tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons was released. The series titled Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons is co-written by Jim Zub and Patrick Rothfuss, and art by Troy Little.[149] A sequel mini-series, titled Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons: Chapter II: Painscape, was published in September 2018.[150] It was written by Jim Zub and Sarah Stern with art by Troy Little.[151] The Rick and Morty vs Dungeons and Dragons Deluxe Edition, by Rothfuss, Zub, and Little, was nominated for the 2022 «Best Graphic Album—Reprint» Eisner Award.[152]

Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science-fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network’s nighttime programming block Adult Swim. It is distributed internationally by Warner Bros. Domestic Television. The series follows the misadventures of cynical mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his good-hearted but fretful grandson Morty Smith, who split their time between domestic life and interdimensional adventures that take place across an infinite number of realities, often travelling to other planets and dimensions through portals and on Rick’s flying saucer. The general concept of Rick and Morty relies on two conflicting scenarios: domestic family drama, and an alcoholic grandfather dragging his grandson into hijinks.

Roiland voices the eponymous characters, with Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, and Sarah Chalke voicing the rest of Rick and Morty’s family. The series originated from an animated short parody film of Back to the Future created by Roiland for Channel 101, a short-film festival cofounded by Harmon. Since its debut, the series has received critical acclaim for its originality, creativity, and humor. It has been nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program and won the award in 2018 and 2020. The series has also received two Annie Awards. The series has several times been the most viewed television comedy of adults. The popularity of Rick and Morty has made it a billion-dollar merchandising and media franchise.

The fifth season premiered on June 20, 2021, and consisted of ten episodes. The sixth season started airing on September 4, 2022.[2] A seventh season was confirmed as part of a long-term deal with Cartoon Network that ordered 70 new episodes.[3]

Premise and main characters

The show revolves around the adventures of the members of the Smith household, which consists of parents Jerry and Beth, their children Summer and Morty, and Beth’s father, Rick Sanchez, who lives with them as a guest. According to Justin Roiland, the family lives outside of Seattle, Washington.[4] The adventures of Rick and Morty, however, take place across an infinite number of realities, with the characters travelling to other planets and dimensions through portals and Rick’s flying saucer.[5]

Rick is an eccentric and alcoholic mad scientist, who eschews many ordinary conventions such as school, marriage, love, and family. He frequently goes on adventures with his 14-year-old grandson, Morty, a kind-hearted but easily distressed boy, whose naïve but grounded moral compass plays counterpoint to Rick’s Machiavellian ego.[6] Morty’s 17-year-old sister, Summer, is a more conventional teenager who worries about improving her status among her peers and sometimes follows Rick and Morty on their adventures.[7] The kids’ mother, Beth, is a generally level-headed person and assertive force in the household, though self-conscious about her professional role as a horse surgeon. She is dissatisfied with her marriage to Jerry, a simple-minded and insecure person, who disapproves of Rick’s influence over his family.[8]

Different versions of the characters inhabit other dimensions throughout the show’s multiverse and their personal characteristics can vary from one reality to another.[9] The show’s original Rick identifies himself as «Rick Sanchez of Earth Dimension C-137», in reference to his original universe, but this does not apply to any other member of the Smith household.[10] For instance, in the first-season episode «Rick Potion #9», after turning the entire world population into monsters, Rick and Morty move to a different dimension, leaving the original Summer, Beth and Jerry behind.[11]

Production

Development

Creators Dan Harmon (left) and Justin Roiland (right)

Rick and Morty was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon. The duo first met at Channel 101, a non-profit monthly short film festival in Los Angeles co-founded by Harmon.[12] At Channel 101, participants submit a short film in the format of a pilot, and a live audience decides which pilots continue as a series. Roiland, then a producer on reality programming, began submitting content to the festival a year after its launch, in 2004. His pilots typically consisted of shock value—»sick and twisted» elements that received a confused reaction from the audience.[12] Nevertheless, Harmon took a liking to his humor and the two began collaborating. In 2006, Roiland was fired from working on a television series he regarded as creatively stifling, and funneled his creative energies into creating a webisode for Channel 101. The result was The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti, an animated short starring parodies of Doc Brown and Marty McFly, characters from the Back to the Future film trilogy.[13] In the short, which Harmon would dub «a bastardization, a pornographic vandalization», Doc Smith urges Mharti that the solution to all of his problems is to perform oral sex on him.[14] The audience reacted to it wildly, and Roiland began creating more shorts involving the characters, which soon evolved beyond his original intentions and their obvious origin within the film from which it was culled.[14][15] Harmon would later create and produce Community, an NBC sitcom,[16] while Roiland would work primarily in voice acting for Disney’s Fish Hooks and Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time.[17]

In 2012, Harmon was briefly fired from Community. Adult Swim, searching for a more prime-time, «hit» show,[18] shortly afterward approached Harmon, who initially viewed the channel as unfit for his style. He was also unfamiliar with animation and his process for creating television focused more heavily on dialogue, characters, and story.[15] Instead, he phoned Roiland to inquire if he had any ideas for an animated series. Roiland immediately brought up the idea of using the Doc and Mharti characters, renamed Rick and Morty.[14] At first, Roiland wanted the show’s run time to consist of one eleven-minute segment, but Adult Swim pushed for a half-hour program.[18] Harmon felt the best way to extend the voices into a program would be to build a family around the characters, while Adult Swim development executive Nick Weidenfeld suggested that Rick be Morty’s grandfather. Having pitched multiple television programs that did not get off the ground, Roiland was initially very unreceptive to others attempting to give notes on his pitch.[14] Prior to developing Rick and Morty, he had created three failed animated pilots for Fox, and he had begun to feel «burned out» with developing television.[15]

The first draft was completed in six hours on the Paramount Pictures lot in Dan Harmon’s unfurnished Community office. The duo had broken the story that day, sold the pilot, and then sat down to write.[15][20] Roiland, while acknowledging a tendency for procrastination, encouraged Harmon to stay and write the entire first draft. «We were sitting on the floor, cross-legged with laptops and I was about to get up and go home and he said, ‘Wait, if you go home, it might take us three months to write this thing. Stay here right now and we can write it in six hours.’ He just had a premonition about that,» recalled Harmon.[15] In the beginning, Adult Swim was unsure of Roiland doing both voices, partially due to the undeveloped nature of the character of Morty. Harmon wrote four short premises in which Morty took a more assertive role and sent it to Mike Lazzo. Adult Swim placed a tamer TV-14 rating on the program, which was met with reluctance from the show’s staff. The network’s reason behind the rating was that it would soon begin broadcasting in prime-time, competing with major programs.[15]

The theme song for Rick and Morty by Ryan Elder was originally used in a rejected Cartoon Network pilot Roiland made called «Dog World», which was referenced in the episode «Lawnmower Dog».[21]

Writing

Harmon has noted that the writers’ room at the show’s studio bears a striking resemblance to the one used for Community.[15] In comparing the two, he noted that the writing staff of Rick and Morty was significantly smaller, and more «rough and tumble verbally».[15] The first season writing staff consisted of Roiland, Harmon, Tom Kauffman, Ryan Ridley, Wade Randolph, and Eric Acosta, while writer’s assistant Mike McMahan was also given writing credit. Described as a «very, very tiny little writers’ room with a lot of heavy lifting from everybody,» the show’s writing staff, like many Adult Swim productions, is not unionized with the Writers Guild of America,[22] though in 2022 production staff at Rick & Morty filed a petition for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board in a bid to join The Animation Guild.[23] The writing staff first meets and discusses ideas, which evolve into a story.[12] Discussions often include anecdotes from personal life as well as thoughts on the science fiction genre.[15] After breaking the story—which consists of developing its consistency and logical beginning, middle, and conclusion—a writer is assigned to create an outline. Roiland and Harmon do a «pass» on the outline, and from there the episode undergoes several more drafts. The final draft of the script is last approved by either of the co-creators.[12] Harmon has admitted that his perfectionism can sometimes be disruptive and cause writing schedule delays. For the most part, this was the reason why the third season of the show consisted of only 10 episodes instead of 14, as was initially intended.[24][25]

Many episodes are structured with use of a story circle, a Harmon creation based largely on Joseph Campbell’s monomyth, or The Hero’s Journey. Its two-act structure places the act break at an odd location in the stages of the monomyth: after The Meeting with the Goddess, instead of Atonement with the Father. Roiland has stated his and Harmon’s intentions for the series to lack traditional continuity, opting for discontinuous storylines «not bound by rules».[26] He has also confirmed that the writers avoid revisiting old tropes from the show’s past, «in fear of that coming off as disingenuous fan service.»[27] In producing the series’ first season, episodes were occasionally written out of order. For example, «Rick Potion #9» was the second episode written for the series, but was instructed to be animated as the fifth, as it would make more sense within the series’ continuity.[12]

Animation and voice recording

Animation for the show is done using Toon Boom Harmony, a vector-based 2D puppet software, which is a more economical option than traditional hand-drawn animation.[28] The post-production work is done in Adobe After Effects, and background art is done in Adobe Photoshop.[29] Production of animation is handled by Bardel Entertainment in Vancouver, Canada.[30] Roiland’s cartooning style is heavily indebted to The Simpsons, a factor he acknowledged in a 2013 interview, while also comparing his style to that of Pendleton Ward (Adventure Time) and J. G. Quintel (Regular Show): «You’ll notice mouths are kind of similar and teeth are similar, but I think that’s also a stylistic thing that … all of us are kind of the same age, and we’re all inspired by The Simpsons and all these other shows we’re kind of subconsciously tapping into.»[22] John Kricfalusi’s The Ren & Stimpy Show was another strong influence for Rick and Morty, which is why, according to Roiland, the small «w-shaped mouths» that the characters occasionally make is a reference to a similar expression that Ren frequently makes.[31] Talking about the style guide the animators of the show have to follow, season three art director Jeffrey Thompson explained that the characters are often drawn with odd or asymmetrical features, in order to avoid looking «too normal to live in the Rick and Morty universe.»[32] When recording dialogue, Roiland does a considerable amount of improvisation, in order to make the characters feel more natural.[33]

Broadcast and ratings

Episodes

In May 2012, Adult Swim unveiled its development slate that included a Rick and Morty pilot from Harmon and Roiland,[35] which was eventually picked up to series in October 2012, as one of the network’s first primetime original shows.[36] The first season premiered in December 2013 and concluded in April 2014. It comprised eleven episodes (including the pilot), and aired Mondays at 10:30 pm ET/PT.[37]

Two months earlier, in February 2014, the show had been renewed for a second season, with the press release noting that Rick and Morty consistently outperformed direct competition in its time slot.[38] Season two aired Sundays at 11:30 pm ET/PT, from July to October 2015, and comprised ten episodes.[39] In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Roiland said that Rick and Morty will remain «a big priority above anything else» for him in the future, and expressed his intention to keep the show growing.[40]

Adult Swim renewed Rick and Morty for a third season in August 2015, shortly after a successful second-season premiere.[41] The two co-creators and executive producers expressed their delight at the series’ popularity.[42] The season premiered unannounced on April 1, 2017, as part of an April Fools’ Day prank. The remaining episodes began airing weekly almost four months later, continuing in the same time slot from season two, and the initial airing concluded in October 2017.[43] Although it was originally intended for the season to consist of fourteen episodes, as a result of production delays it eventually comprised only ten.[44]

Following the conclusion of the show’s third season, co-creators Harmon and Roiland wanted to have assurance that there would be many more seasons of Rick and Morty in the future, so that they would be able to focus on the show and minimize their involvement in other projects.[45] Additionally, Harmon had expressed his wish for the upcoming fourth season to consist of more than ten episodes.[46] In May 2018, after prolonged contract negotiations, Adult Swim announced a long-term deal with the creators, ordering 70 new episodes over an unspecified number of seasons.[47][48] Roiland was confident that this big renewal deal would allow the creators to minimize the gaps between seasons to no more than a year,[3] as they would be able to schedule their time around the show and «keep the machine going.»[49]

In May 2019, the fourth season of Rick and Morty was announced to debut in November 2019.[50] The fourth season consisted of ten episodes split across two airings.[51] The first five episodes began airing on November 10, 2019,[52] while the remaining five episodes began airing on May 3, 2020.[53] The sixth season premiered on September 4, 2022.[2]

Ratings

Rick and Morty has been a ratings hit since season one,[54] with viewership doubling and tripling over their first six episodes.[55] The third season ended with the best ratings in Adult Swim history,[56] an 81 percent increase in overall viewers over the second season.[57] According to a Nielsen poll, the third season was the most watched television comedy of adults between the ages of 18 and 24.[58][59] The president of Adult Swim said that Rick and Morty «goes beyond just appealing to millennials,» with statistics suggesting that people of every age tune in to the show.[57]

The fourth season started relatively strong, with its premiere reaching 2.33 million viewers (the show’s average is 2.51 million).[60] However, interest soon appeared to taper off after the network decided to split the season in half causing a steep drop in the season’s second half–about a 40% drop in viewership from the third season.[61] The fourth episode of the fourth season saw 1.62 million viewers, which was noted to not be impressive in its own right, but in that it showed consist viewership especially when competing against shows like The Walking Dead in the same time slot.[62] The season five premier episode was posted on YouTube and had 1.7 million views within the first 12 hours.[63] The television premier saw 1.9 million views.[64]

The premier of season six was shown on September 4, 2022, and saw the highest ratings in telecast for women age 18 to 24 and 18 to 34 and non-sports telecast for male viewers age 18 to 24 and 18 to 34. The episode was also the number two most-viewed non-sports program overall for viewers age 18 to 49.[65]

Streaming service and home media

The show is available to watch in its entirety on Netflix in a number of countries, while the first four seasons are available to stream in the United States on both Hulu and HBO Max.[66] Following the conclusion of the show’s third season, Adult Swim made a livestream marathon of Rick and Morty available to watch on its official website in select regions,[67] hoping to dissuade viewers from watching other illegal livestreams.[68]

In the United Kingdom, public-service broadcaster Channel 4 outbid Netflix and began airing the series with season 4, which represents its first pickup by an international television channel.[69] Season 4 was originally scheduled to premiere on Channel 4 in January 2020; viewer complaints resulted in the broadcaster moving the first episode forward to November 20 on E4.[70]

In Canada, the series initially premiered on Adult Swim on January 10, 2016;[71] and in Quebec, it premiered on Télétoon’s Télétoon la nuit block on May 18, 2018.[72]

The 11-episode first season was released by Warner Home Video on DVD (2-disc set) and Blu-ray (single BD-50 disc) on October 7, 2014. Special features include commentary and animatics for every episode, deleted scenes, behind the scenes featurette and commentaries by special guests Matt Groening, Robert Kirkman, Pendleton Ward, Al Jean and others.[73][74] The 10-episode second season was released on DVD (2-disc set) and Blu-ray (single BD-50 disc) on June 7, 2016. Special features include behind the scenes, commentary and animatics for every episode, deleted animatic sketches and a «Plumbus Owner’s Manual» booklet.[75][76] The 10-episode third season, was released on DVD (2-disc set) and Blu-ray (single BD-50 disc) on May 15, 2018. Special features include exclusive commentary and animatics for every episode, «inside the episode», the origins of Rick and Morty, and an exclusive «inside the recording booth» session.[77] On February 12, 2019, a set containing seasons 1–3 was released on DVD and Blu-ray.[78]

Uncensored versions of the show are also available to purchase on various digital platforms, including iTunes and Amazon, with the digital releases of each season containing bonus material.[66] The digital release of the first season includes the 2013 Rick and Morty Comic-Con panel,[79] the digital release of the second season includes the 2015 ATX Television Festival panel,[80] and the digital release of the third season includes commentary on every episode, as well as seven more short videos featuring co-creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland.[81]

Themes and analysis

Comedic style

The general formula of Rick and Morty consists of the juxtaposition of two conflicting scenarios: an extremely selfish, alcoholic grandfather dragging his grandson along for interdimensional adventures, intercut with domestic family drama.[14][18] Co-creator Dan Harmon has described the series as a cross between Matt Groening’s two shows The Simpsons and Futurama, balancing family life with heavy science fiction.[22] The series is inspired by British-style storytelling, as opposed to traditional American family TV stories.[12] Harmon has stated that his inspiration behind much of the concept and humor for the series comes from various British television series, such as The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Doctor Who. He figures that the audience will only understand developments from Morty’s point of view, but stated «we don’t want to be the companions. We want to hang out with the Doctor, we idolize the Doctor, but we don’t think like him, and that’s really interesting.»[82]

Occasionally, characters will acknowledge an episode’s narrative or hint at the presence of a fourth wall, suggesting that they are aware of the fact that they are characters of a TV show. Thereunder, Troy Patterson of The New Yorker notes that Rick and Morty «supplies an artful answer to the question of what follows postmodernism: a decadent regurgitation of all its tropes, all at once, leavened by some humanistic wistfulness.»[83] Sean Sebastian of Junkee says that the show can be both hilarious and deeply disturbing at the same time as it excels at the «intersection between big ideas, flippancy and wit.»[84]

Philosophy

The series addresses the insignificance of human existence as compared to the size of the universe, with no recognizable divine presence, as described by Lovecraft’s philosophy of cosmicism. The characters of the show deal with cosmic horror and existential dread, either by asserting the utility of science over magic or by choosing a life in ignorant bliss.[85] However, as Joachim Heijndermans of Geeks notes, none of them appear able to handle the absurd and chaotic nature of the universe, as Jerry gets by through denial, and Rick is a «depressed, substance-addicted, suicidal mess».[86]

Harmon describes Rick as a self-interested anarchist, who does not like being told what to do.[87] He believes that the character’s life on a larger scale has caused him mental illness,[82] and opines that «the knowledge that nothing matters—while accurate—gets you nowhere».[88] Matthew Bulger of The Humanist notes that the creators of the series are trying to communicate the message that we need to focus on human relationships and not preoccupy our minds with unanswerable questions, in order to find a sense of purpose and live a better life.[89] Eric Armstrong of The New Republic notes that Morty represents the audience, as he is «mostly there to react to Rick’s deranged schemes». The character is transformed by the truths he discovers during his interdimensional adventures with his grandfather. However, instead of sinking into depression, Morty accepts these truths that empower him to value his own life.[90]

Reception

Critical reception

Rick and Morty holds an average approval rating of 95% on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes for the entire series.[101] David Weigand of San Francisco Chronicle described it as «offbeat and occasionally coarse… the take-away here is that it works». He praised the animation direction by James McDermott for being «fresh, colorful and as wacky as the script», and states that the series possesses «shades of Futurama, South Park and even Beetlejuice«, ultimately opining that its humor felt «entirely original».[102] Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times praised the series and stated that it was «Grandparenting at its unhinged finest.»[103] In a review shortly after the second-season premiere, Sean Sebastian of Junkee said that although the crude animation and over-the-top voice acting might have discouraged some viewers to continue watching, Rick and Morty is «exceptionally well-made» and that «the more you dissect it, the more you find it has to say.»[84]

Todd Spangler of Variety gave the series a lukewarm review; saying that though it «often seems … frenetic at the expense of being witty», it represents «a welcome attempt to dream just a little bigger».[104] David Sims of The A.V. Club gave the series an «A−». In reviewing the first two episodes, he praised its «clean, simple style» of animation, and said the series has «a dark, sick sensibility». He praised its «effort to give each character a little bit of depth», and applauded Roiland’s voice talent.[105]

Industry impact

Several former Rick and Morty storyboard artists and crew members proceeded to develop their own shows or work on major new productions. Creator Justin Roiland and showrunner Mike McMahan have gone on to co-create Solar Opposites, an animated sci-fi sitcom that has been frequently compared to Rick and Morty.[106][107] McMahan also went on to create Star Trek: Lower Decks. Writer Michael Waldron would go on to write for Avengers: Secret Wars and has said that he and his colleagues are «cashing in on our ‘Rick and Morty’ street cred.» Show alumnus Jeff Loveness became a writer for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.[107] Erica Hayes, the show’s storyboard writer and directer,[108] went on to work for Netflix’s Big Mouth.[109][110] Alex Hirsch, who worked on the episode Big Trouble in Little Sanchez, would become an executive producer of Inside Job, another show that has had comparisons drawn to Rick and Morty for being similarly themed. Pete Michels, directer of over twenty Rick and Morty episodes, was also a director of two episodes of Inside Job.[111]

Other media and products

Possible feature film

Show creator Justin Roiland said in 2019 that he would love to make an R-rated Rick and Morty feature film.[135] In June 2021, producer Scott Marder confirmed that the creators and crew hope to eventually produce a feature film, with Roiland stating that it is more a question of «when», rather than «if».[136] In 2022, American filmmaker Zack Snyder expressed interest in directing a Rick and Morty science fiction movie.[137]

Spin-off series

On May 20, 2021, Adult Swim announced a short spin-off series centred on the Vindicators team (Supernova, Vance Maxiumus, Alan Rails, Crocubot and Noob Noob) previously seen on the episode, «Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender» to be in development, alongside spin-offs from other Adult Swim shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, and Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell. The 10-episode series, Vindicators 2 was released in July 2022.[138][139]

On May 18, 2022, Adult Swim announced there would be a full spin-off series based on the anime shorts, directed by Takashi Sano.[140]

Cameos

Film

Rick and Morty, both voiced by Roiland, have a cameo in 2021’s Space Jam: A New Legacy, as they claim to have experimented on the Tasmanian Devil but say they were disgusted by the results; thus, they voluntarily give him back to LeBron and the Looney Tunes by dropping him on their rocket’s windshield. Notably, they are the only characters featured from any property held by producer Warner Bros. (under its Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics division since 2019) through subsidiary Turner Broadcasting, one that would hold a variety of animated characters through Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, or any affiliation or collaboration with them.[141]

Television

Rick and Morty were featured in the couch gag at the beginning of «Mathlete’s Feat», the final episode of the twenty-sixth season of The Simpsons. Said opening involved Rick accidentally killing the family when he crash-lands into their living room. He then requested that Morty take care of the cloning process while he fools around at the Simpson household, poorly playing Lisa’s saxophone, taking at least one of Homer’s Duff beers from their fridge, and freezing Ned Flanders when he comes by to check on them. The clones end up as half-Rick monstrosities since Rick had previously cleaned the DNA vials with his own saliva, a decision he realized would occur and regretted anyway. As he and Morty fly away, the clone of Bart exclaims «No more guest animators, man!», ending the opening.[142][143]

Comics

On April 1, 2015, a Rick and Morty comic book adaptation debuted with its first monthly issue, entitled «BAM!»[144] The series was initially written by Zac Gorman and illustrated by CJ Cannon.[145] Artist Tom Fowler wrote a multi-issue story arc that began in March 2016.[146] Using the television series’ established premise of alternate timelines, the first two volumes of the comic book expressly features the Rick and Morty (and supporting cast) of a different timeline, allowing the comics to tell stories without conflicting with the canon of the show.[147] From the third volume onwards, with the departure of Gorman as written and his replacement with Kyle Starks, the series switched focus to display the off-screen adventures of the specific Rick and Morty of the television series, keeping in the canon of the show, with the Ricks and Mortys of different timelines forming the basis for backup stories.[148]

On August 29, 2018, a four-issue crossover comic with the fantasy tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons was released. The series titled Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons is co-written by Jim Zub and Patrick Rothfuss, and art by Troy Little.[149] A sequel mini-series, titled Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons: Chapter II: Painscape, was published in September 2018.[150] It was written by Jim Zub and Sarah Stern with art by Troy Little.[151] The Rick and Morty vs Dungeons and Dragons Deluxe Edition, by Rothfuss, Zub, and Little, was nominated for the 2022 «Best Graphic Album—Reprint» Eisner Award.[152]

Product tie-ins

McDonald’s Szechuan Sauce returned to their menu nearly twenty years later after being referenced numerous times in «The Rickshank Rickdemption», the Season 3 premiere.[153] The sauce was announced to return to all McDonald’s stores on February 26, 2018 due to popular demand from Rick and Morty fans.[154] On March 31, 2022, it once again returned to stores, featured as an app only exclusive until April 4.[155][156]

Adult Swim and Wendy’s have collaborated to create commercials featuring the titular duo.[157][158] They have also created Morty themed food trucks and restaurants.[159][160] In 2022, Wendy’s offered Rick and Morty-inspired combo meals exclusively on Uber Eats and brought back their «Portal Time Lemon Lime» soft drink to promote the series’ sixth season.[161] The promotion also featured a giveaway of Rick and Morty merchandise.[162]

Adult Swim released a promotional video advertising Death Stranding. The ad involves Rick and Morty traversing the world of Death Stranding and to deliver packages to stations in order to rebuild human civilization while trying to avoid being harmed by hostiles.[163]

Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science-fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network’s nighttime programming block Adult Swim. It is distributed internationally by Warner Bros. Domestic Television. The series follows the misadventures of cynical mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his good-hearted but fretful grandson Morty Smith, who split their time between domestic life and interdimensional adventures that take place across an infinite number of realities, often travelling to other planets and dimensions through portals and on Rick’s flying saucer. The general concept of Rick and Morty relies on two conflicting scenarios: domestic family drama, and an alcoholic grandfather dragging his grandson into hijinks.

Roiland voices the eponymous characters, with Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, and Sarah Chalke voicing the rest of Rick and Morty’s family. The series originated from an animated short parody film of Back to the Future created by Roiland for Channel 101, a short-film festival cofounded by Harmon. Since its debut, the series has received critical acclaim for its originality, creativity, and humor. It has been nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program and won the award in 2018 and 2020. The series has also received two Annie Awards. The series has several times been the most viewed television comedy of adults. The popularity of Rick and Morty has made it a billion-dollar merchandising and media franchise.

The fifth season premiered on June 20, 2021, and consisted of ten episodes. The sixth season started airing on September 4, 2022.[2] A seventh season was confirmed as part of a long-term deal with Cartoon Network that ordered 70 new episodes.[3]

Premise and main characters

The show revolves around the adventures of the members of the Smith household, which consists of parents Jerry and Beth, their children Summer and Morty, and Beth’s father, Rick Sanchez, who lives with them as a guest. According to Justin Roiland, the family lives outside of Seattle, Washington.[4] The adventures of Rick and Morty, however, take place across an infinite number of realities, with the characters travelling to other planets and dimensions through portals and Rick’s flying saucer.[5]

Rick is an eccentric and alcoholic mad scientist, who eschews many ordinary conventions such as school, marriage, love, and family. He frequently goes on adventures with his 14-year-old grandson, Morty, a kind-hearted but easily distressed boy, whose naïve but grounded moral compass plays counterpoint to Rick’s Machiavellian ego.[6] Morty’s 17-year-old sister, Summer, is a more conventional teenager who worries about improving her status among her peers and sometimes follows Rick and Morty on their adventures.[7] The kids’ mother, Beth, is a generally level-headed person and assertive force in the household, though self-conscious about her professional role as a horse surgeon. She is dissatisfied with her marriage to Jerry, a simple-minded and insecure person, who disapproves of Rick’s influence over his family.[8]

Different versions of the characters inhabit other dimensions throughout the show’s multiverse and their personal characteristics can vary from one reality to another.[9] The show’s original Rick identifies himself as «Rick Sanchez of Earth Dimension C-137», in reference to his original universe, but this does not apply to any other member of the Smith household.[10] For instance, in the first-season episode «Rick Potion #9», after turning the entire world population into monsters, Rick and Morty move to a different dimension, leaving the original Summer, Beth and Jerry behind.[11]

Production

Development

Creators Dan Harmon (left) and Justin Roiland (right)

Rick and Morty was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon. The duo first met at Channel 101, a non-profit monthly short film festival in Los Angeles co-founded by Harmon.[12] At Channel 101, participants submit a short film in the format of a pilot, and a live audience decides which pilots continue as a series. Roiland, then a producer on reality programming, began submitting content to the festival a year after its launch, in 2004. His pilots typically consisted of shock value—»sick and twisted» elements that received a confused reaction from the audience.[12] Nevertheless, Harmon took a liking to his humor and the two began collaborating. In 2006, Roiland was fired from working on a television series he regarded as creatively stifling, and funneled his creative energies into creating a webisode for Channel 101. The result was The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti, an animated short starring parodies of Doc Brown and Marty McFly, characters from the Back to the Future film trilogy.[13] In the short, which Harmon would dub «a bastardization, a pornographic vandalization», Doc Smith urges Mharti that the solution to all of his problems is to perform oral sex on him.[14] The audience reacted to it wildly, and Roiland began creating more shorts involving the characters, which soon evolved beyond his original intentions and their obvious origin within the film from which it was culled.[14][15] Harmon would later create and produce Community, an NBC sitcom,[16] while Roiland would work primarily in voice acting for Disney’s Fish Hooks and Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time.[17]

In 2012, Harmon was briefly fired from Community. Adult Swim, searching for a more prime-time, «hit» show,[18] shortly afterward approached Harmon, who initially viewed the channel as unfit for his style. He was also unfamiliar with animation and his process for creating television focused more heavily on dialogue, characters, and story.[15] Instead, he phoned Roiland to inquire if he had any ideas for an animated series. Roiland immediately brought up the idea of using the Doc and Mharti characters, renamed Rick and Morty.[14] At first, Roiland wanted the show’s run time to consist of one eleven-minute segment, but Adult Swim pushed for a half-hour program.[18] Harmon felt the best way to extend the voices into a program would be to build a family around the characters, while Adult Swim development executive Nick Weidenfeld suggested that Rick be Morty’s grandfather. Having pitched multiple television programs that did not get off the ground, Roiland was initially very unreceptive to others attempting to give notes on his pitch.[14] Prior to developing Rick and Morty, he had created three failed animated pilots for Fox, and he had begun to feel «burned out» with developing television.[15]

The first draft was completed in six hours on the Paramount Pictures lot in Dan Harmon’s unfurnished Community office. The duo had broken the story that day, sold the pilot, and then sat down to write.[15][20] Roiland, while acknowledging a tendency for procrastination, encouraged Harmon to stay and write the entire first draft. «We were sitting on the floor, cross-legged with laptops and I was about to get up and go home and he said, ‘Wait, if you go home, it might take us three months to write this thing. Stay here right now and we can write it in six hours.’ He just had a premonition about that,» recalled Harmon.[15] In the beginning, Adult Swim was unsure of Roiland doing both voices, partially due to the undeveloped nature of the character of Morty. Harmon wrote four short premises in which Morty took a more assertive role and sent it to Mike Lazzo. Adult Swim placed a tamer TV-14 rating on the program, which was met with reluctance from the show’s staff. The network’s reason behind the rating was that it would soon begin broadcasting in prime-time, competing with major programs.[15]

The theme song for Rick and Morty by Ryan Elder was originally used in a rejected Cartoon Network pilot Roiland made called «Dog World», which was referenced in the episode «Lawnmower Dog».[21]

Writing

Harmon has noted that the writers’ room at the show’s studio bears a striking resemblance to the one used for Community.[15] In comparing the two, he noted that the writing staff of Rick and Morty was significantly smaller, and more «rough and tumble verbally».[15] The first season writing staff consisted of Roiland, Harmon, Tom Kauffman, Ryan Ridley, Wade Randolph, and Eric Acosta, while writer’s assistant Mike McMahan was also given writing credit. Described as a «very, very tiny little writers’ room with a lot of heavy lifting from everybody,» the show’s writing staff, like many Adult Swim productions, is not unionized with the Writers Guild of America,[22] though in 2022 production staff at Rick & Morty filed a petition for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board in a bid to join The Animation Guild.[23] The writing staff first meets and discusses ideas, which evolve into a story.[12] Discussions often include anecdotes from personal life as well as thoughts on the science fiction genre.[15] After breaking the story—which consists of developing its consistency and logical beginning, middle, and conclusion—a writer is assigned to create an outline. Roiland and Harmon do a «pass» on the outline, and from there the episode undergoes several more drafts. The final draft of the script is last approved by either of the co-creators.[12] Harmon has admitted that his perfectionism can sometimes be disruptive and cause writing schedule delays. For the most part, this was the reason why the third season of the show consisted of only 10 episodes instead of 14, as was initially intended.[24][25]

Many episodes are structured with use of a story circle, a Harmon creation based largely on Joseph Campbell’s monomyth, or The Hero’s Journey. Its two-act structure places the act break at an odd location in the stages of the monomyth: after The Meeting with the Goddess, instead of Atonement with the Father. Roiland has stated his and Harmon’s intentions for the series to lack traditional continuity, opting for discontinuous storylines «not bound by rules».[26] He has also confirmed that the writers avoid revisiting old tropes from the show’s past, «in fear of that coming off as disingenuous fan service.»[27] In producing the series’ first season, episodes were occasionally written out of order. For example, «Rick Potion #9» was the second episode written for the series, but was instructed to be animated as the fifth, as it would make more sense within the series’ continuity.[12]

Animation and voice recording

Animation for the show is done using Toon Boom Harmony, a vector-based 2D puppet software, which is a more economical option than traditional hand-drawn animation.[28] The post-production work is done in Adobe After Effects, and background art is done in Adobe Photoshop.[29] Production of animation is handled by Bardel Entertainment in Vancouver, Canada.[30] Roiland’s cartooning style is heavily indebted to The Simpsons, a factor he acknowledged in a 2013 interview, while also comparing his style to that of Pendleton Ward (Adventure Time) and J. G. Quintel (Regular Show): «You’ll notice mouths are kind of similar and teeth are similar, but I think that’s also a stylistic thing that … all of us are kind of the same age, and we’re all inspired by The Simpsons and all these other shows we’re kind of subconsciously tapping into.»[22] John Kricfalusi’s The Ren & Stimpy Show was another strong influence for Rick and Morty, which is why, according to Roiland, the small «w-shaped mouths» that the characters occasionally make is a reference to a similar expression that Ren frequently makes.[31] Talking about the style guide the animators of the show have to follow, season three art director Jeffrey Thompson explained that the characters are often drawn with odd or asymmetrical features, in order to avoid looking «too normal to live in the Rick and Morty universe.»[32] When recording dialogue, Roiland does a considerable amount of improvisation, in order to make the characters feel more natural.[33]

Broadcast and ratings

Episodes

In May 2012, Adult Swim unveiled its development slate that included a Rick and Morty pilot from Harmon and Roiland,[35] which was eventually picked up to series in October 2012, as one of the network’s first primetime original shows.[36] The first season premiered in December 2013 and concluded in April 2014. It comprised eleven episodes (including the pilot), and aired Mondays at 10:30 pm ET/PT.[37]

Two months earlier, in February 2014, the show had been renewed for a second season, with the press release noting that Rick and Morty consistently outperformed direct competition in its time slot.[38] Season two aired Sundays at 11:30 pm ET/PT, from July to October 2015, and comprised ten episodes.[39] In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Roiland said that Rick and Morty will remain «a big priority above anything else» for him in the future, and expressed his intention to keep the show growing.[40]

Adult Swim renewed Rick and Morty for a third season in August 2015, shortly after a successful second-season premiere.[41] The two co-creators and executive producers expressed their delight at the series’ popularity.[42] The season premiered unannounced on April 1, 2017, as part of an April Fools’ Day prank. The remaining episodes began airing weekly almost four months later, continuing in the same time slot from season two, and the initial airing concluded in October 2017.[43] Although it was originally intended for the season to consist of fourteen episodes, as a result of production delays it eventually comprised only ten.[44]

Following the conclusion of the show’s third season, co-creators Harmon and Roiland wanted to have assurance that there would be many more seasons of Rick and Morty in the future, so that they would be able to focus on the show and minimize their involvement in other projects.[45] Additionally, Harmon had expressed his wish for the upcoming fourth season to consist of more than ten episodes.[46] In May 2018, after prolonged contract negotiations, Adult Swim announced a long-term deal with the creators, ordering 70 new episodes over an unspecified number of seasons.[47][48] Roiland was confident that this big renewal deal would allow the creators to minimize the gaps between seasons to no more than a year,[3] as they would be able to schedule their time around the show and «keep the machine going.»[49]

In May 2019, the fourth season of Rick and Morty was announced to debut in November 2019.[50] The fourth season consisted of ten episodes split across two airings.[51] The first five episodes began airing on November 10, 2019,[52] while the remaining five episodes began airing on May 3, 2020.[53] The sixth season premiered on September 4, 2022.[2]

Ratings

Rick and Morty has been a ratings hit since season one,[54] with viewership doubling and tripling over their first six episodes.[55] The third season ended with the best ratings in Adult Swim history,[56] an 81 percent increase in overall viewers over the second season.[57] According to a Nielsen poll, the third season was the most watched television comedy of adults between the ages of 18 and 24.[58][59] The president of Adult Swim said that Rick and Morty «goes beyond just appealing to millennials,» with statistics suggesting that people of every age tune in to the show.[57]

The fourth season started relatively strong, with its premiere reaching 2.33 million viewers (the show’s average is 2.51 million).[60] However, interest soon appeared to taper off after the network decided to split the season in half causing a steep drop in the season’s second half–about a 40% drop in viewership from the third season.[61] The fourth episode of the fourth season saw 1.62 million viewers, which was noted to not be impressive in its own right, but in that it showed consist viewership especially when competing against shows like The Walking Dead in the same time slot.[62] The season five premier episode was posted on YouTube and had 1.7 million views within the first 12 hours.[63] The television premier saw 1.9 million views.[64]

The premier of season six was shown on September 4, 2022, and saw the highest ratings in telecast for women age 18 to 24 and 18 to 34 and non-sports telecast for male viewers age 18 to 24 and 18 to 34. The episode was also the number two most-viewed non-sports program overall for viewers age 18 to 49.[65]

Streaming service and home media

The show is available to watch in its entirety on Netflix in a number of countries, while the first four seasons are available to stream in the United States on both Hulu and HBO Max.[66] Following the conclusion of the show’s third season, Adult Swim made a livestream marathon of Rick and Morty available to watch on its official website in select regions,[67] hoping to dissuade viewers from watching other illegal livestreams.[68]

In the United Kingdom, public-service broadcaster Channel 4 outbid Netflix and began airing the series with season 4, which represents its first pickup by an international television channel.[69] Season 4 was originally scheduled to premiere on Channel 4 in January 2020; viewer complaints resulted in the broadcaster moving the first episode forward to November 20 on E4.[70]

In Canada, the series initially premiered on Adult Swim on January 10, 2016;[71] and in Quebec, it premiered on Télétoon’s Télétoon la nuit block on May 18, 2018.[72]

The 11-episode first season was released by Warner Home Video on DVD (2-disc set) and Blu-ray (single BD-50 disc) on October 7, 2014. Special features include commentary and animatics for every episode, deleted scenes, behind the scenes featurette and commentaries by special guests Matt Groening, Robert Kirkman, Pendleton Ward, Al Jean and others.[73][74] The 10-episode second season was released on DVD (2-disc set) and Blu-ray (single BD-50 disc) on June 7, 2016. Special features include behind the scenes, commentary and animatics for every episode, deleted animatic sketches and a «Plumbus Owner’s Manual» booklet.[75][76] The 10-episode third season, was released on DVD (2-disc set) and Blu-ray (single BD-50 disc) on May 15, 2018. Special features include exclusive commentary and animatics for every episode, «inside the episode», the origins of Rick and Morty, and an exclusive «inside the recording booth» session.[77] On February 12, 2019, a set containing seasons 1–3 was released on DVD and Blu-ray.[78]

Uncensored versions of the show are also available to purchase on various digital platforms, including iTunes and Amazon, with the digital releases of each season containing bonus material.[66] The digital release of the first season includes the 2013 Rick and Morty Comic-Con panel,[79] the digital release of the second season includes the 2015 ATX Television Festival panel,[80] and the digital release of the third season includes commentary on every episode, as well as seven more short videos featuring co-creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland.[81]

Themes and analysis

Comedic style

The general formula of Rick and Morty consists of the juxtaposition of two conflicting scenarios: an extremely selfish, alcoholic grandfather dragging his grandson along for interdimensional adventures, intercut with domestic family drama.[14][18] Co-creator Dan Harmon has described the series as a cross between Matt Groening’s two shows The Simpsons and Futurama, balancing family life with heavy science fiction.[22] The series is inspired by British-style storytelling, as opposed to traditional American family TV stories.[12] Harmon has stated that his inspiration behind much of the concept and humor for the series comes from various British television series, such as The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Doctor Who. He figures that the audience will only understand developments from Morty’s point of view, but stated «we don’t want to be the companions. We want to hang out with the Doctor, we idolize the Doctor, but we don’t think like him, and that’s really interesting.»[82]

Occasionally, characters will acknowledge an episode’s narrative or hint at the presence of a fourth wall, suggesting that they are aware of the fact that they are characters of a TV show. Thereunder, Troy Patterson of The New Yorker notes that Rick and Morty «supplies an artful answer to the question of what follows postmodernism: a decadent regurgitation of all its tropes, all at once, leavened by some humanistic wistfulness.»[83] Sean Sebastian of Junkee says that the show can be both hilarious and deeply disturbing at the same time as it excels at the «intersection between big ideas, flippancy and wit.»[84]

Philosophy

The series addresses the insignificance of human existence as compared to the size of the universe, with no recognizable divine presence, as described by Lovecraft’s philosophy of cosmicism. The characters of the show deal with cosmic horror and existential dread, either by asserting the utility of science over magic or by choosing a life in ignorant bliss.[85] However, as Joachim Heijndermans of Geeks notes, none of them appear able to handle the absurd and chaotic nature of the universe, as Jerry gets by through denial, and Rick is a «depressed, substance-addicted, suicidal mess».[86]

Harmon describes Rick as a self-interested anarchist, who does not like being told what to do.[87] He believes that the character’s life on a larger scale has caused him mental illness,[82] and opines that «the knowledge that nothing matters—while accurate—gets you nowhere».[88] Matthew Bulger of The Humanist notes that the creators of the series are trying to communicate the message that we need to focus on human relationships and not preoccupy our minds with unanswerable questions, in order to find a sense of purpose and live a better life.[89] Eric Armstrong of The New Republic notes that Morty represents the audience, as he is «mostly there to react to Rick’s deranged schemes». The character is transformed by the truths he discovers during his interdimensional adventures with his grandfather. However, instead of sinking into depression, Morty accepts these truths that empower him to value his own life.[90]

Reception

Critical reception

Rick and Morty holds an average approval rating of 95% on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes for the entire series.[101] David Weigand of San Francisco Chronicle described it as «offbeat and occasionally coarse… the take-away here is that it works». He praised the animation direction by James McDermott for being «fresh, colorful and as wacky as the script», and states that the series possesses «shades of Futurama, South Park and even Beetlejuice«, ultimately opining that its humor felt «entirely original».[102] Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times praised the series and stated that it was «Grandparenting at its unhinged finest.»[103] In a review shortly after the second-season premiere, Sean Sebastian of Junkee said that although the crude animation and over-the-top voice acting might have discouraged some viewers to continue watching, Rick and Morty is «exceptionally well-made» and that «the more you dissect it, the more you find it has to say.»[84]

Todd Spangler of Variety gave the series a lukewarm review; saying that though it «often seems … frenetic at the expense of being witty», it represents «a welcome attempt to dream just a little bigger».[104] David Sims of The A.V. Club gave the series an «A−». In reviewing the first two episodes, he praised its «clean, simple style» of animation, and said the series has «a dark, sick sensibility». He praised its «effort to give each character a little bit of depth», and applauded Roiland’s voice talent.[105]

Industry impact

Several former Rick and Morty storyboard artists and crew members proceeded to develop their own shows or work on major new productions. Creator Justin Roiland and showrunner Mike McMahan have gone on to co-create Solar Opposites, an animated sci-fi sitcom that has been frequently compared to Rick and Morty.[106][107] McMahan also went on to create Star Trek: Lower Decks. Writer Michael Waldron would go on to write for Avengers: Secret Wars and has said that he and his colleagues are «cashing in on our ‘Rick and Morty’ street cred.» Show alumnus Jeff Loveness became a writer for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.[107] Erica Hayes, the show’s storyboard writer and directer,[108] went on to work for Netflix’s Big Mouth.[109][110] Alex Hirsch, who worked on the episode Big Trouble in Little Sanchez, would become an executive producer of Inside Job, another show that has had comparisons drawn to Rick and Morty for being similarly themed. Pete Michels, directer of over twenty Rick and Morty episodes, was also a director of two episodes of Inside Job.[111]

Other media and products

Possible feature film

Show creator Justin Roiland said in 2019 that he would love to make an R-rated Rick and Morty feature film.[135] In June 2021, producer Scott Marder confirmed that the creators and crew hope to eventually produce a feature film, with Roiland stating that it is more a question of «when», rather than «if».[136] In 2022, American filmmaker Zack Snyder expressed interest in directing a Rick and Morty science fiction movie.[137]

Spin-off series

On May 20, 2021, Adult Swim announced a short spin-off series centred on the Vindicators team (Supernova, Vance Maxiumus, Alan Rails, Crocubot and Noob Noob) previously seen on the episode, «Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender» to be in development, alongside spin-offs from other Adult Swim shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, and Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell. The 10-episode series, Vindicators 2 was released in July 2022.[138][139]

On May 18, 2022, Adult Swim announced there would be a full spin-off series based on the anime shorts, directed by Takashi Sano.[140]

Cameos

Film

Rick and Morty, both voiced by Roiland, have a cameo in 2021’s Space Jam: A New Legacy, as they claim to have experimented on the Tasmanian Devil but say they were disgusted by the results; thus, they voluntarily give him back to LeBron and the Looney Tunes by dropping him on their rocket’s windshield. Notably, they are the only characters featured from any property held by producer Warner Bros. (under its Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics division since 2019) through subsidiary Turner Broadcasting, one that would hold a variety of animated characters through Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, or any affiliation or collaboration with them.[141]

Television

Rick and Morty were featured in the couch gag at the beginning of «Mathlete’s Feat», the final episode of the twenty-sixth season of The Simpsons. Said opening involved Rick accidentally killing the family when he crash-lands into their living room. He then requested that Morty take care of the cloning process while he fools around at the Simpson household, poorly playing Lisa’s saxophone, taking at least one of Homer’s Duff beers from their fridge, and freezing Ned Flanders when he comes by to check on them. The clones end up as half-Rick monstrosities since Rick had previously cleaned the DNA vials with his own saliva, a decision he realized would occur and regretted anyway. As he and Morty fly away, the clone of Bart exclaims «No more guest animators, man!», ending the opening.[142][143]

Comics

On April 1, 2015, a Rick and Morty comic book adaptation debuted with its first monthly issue, entitled «BAM!»[144] The series was initially written by Zac Gorman and illustrated by CJ Cannon.[145] Artist Tom Fowler wrote a multi-issue story arc that began in March 2016.[146] Using the television series’ established premise of alternate timelines, the first two volumes of the comic book expressly features the Rick and Morty (and supporting cast) of a different timeline, allowing the comics to tell stories without conflicting with the canon of the show.[147] From the third volume onwards, with the departure of Gorman as written and his replacement with Kyle Starks, the series switched focus to display the off-screen adventures of the specific Rick and Morty of the television series, keeping in the canon of the show, with the Ricks and Mortys of different timelines forming the basis for backup stories.[148]

On August 29, 2018, a four-issue crossover comic with the fantasy tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons was released. The series titled Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons is co-written by Jim Zub and Patrick Rothfuss, and art by Troy Little.[149] A sequel mini-series, titled Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons: Chapter II: Painscape, was published in September 2018.[150] It was written by Jim Zub and Sarah Stern with art by Troy Little.[151] The Rick and Morty vs Dungeons and Dragons Deluxe Edition, by Rothfuss, Zub, and Little, was nominated for the 2022 «Best Graphic Album—Reprint» Eisner Award.[152]

Product tie-ins

McDonald’s Szechuan Sauce returned to their menu nearly twenty years later after being referenced numerous times in «The Rickshank Rickdemption», the Season 3 premiere.[153] The sauce was announced to return to all McDonald’s stores on February 26, 2018 due to popular demand from Rick and Morty fans.[154] On March 31, 2022, it once again returned to stores, featured as an app only exclusive until April 4.[155][156]

Adult Swim and Wendy’s have collaborated to create commercials featuring the titular duo.[157][158] They have also created Morty themed food trucks and restaurants.[159][160] In 2022, Wendy’s offered Rick and Morty-inspired combo meals exclusively on Uber Eats and brought back their «Portal Time Lemon Lime» soft drink to promote the series’ sixth season.[161] The promotion also featured a giveaway of Rick and Morty merchandise.[162]

Adult Swim released a promotional video advertising Death Stranding. The ad involves Rick and Morty traversing the world of Death Stranding and to deliver packages to stations in order to rebuild human civilization while trying to avoid being harmed by hostiles.[163]

Рик Санчез о себе

«Рик и Морти» (англ. Rick and Morty) — научно-фантастический мультсериал, посвященный приключениям гениального ученого Рика и его четырнадцатилетного внука Морти. Сериал содержит в себе множество жестких и неприличных шуток и попадает под троп определённо не для детей. В сериале полно отсылок и аллюзий на массовую культуру в целом и научную фантастику в частности.

Прототипами для главных персонажей послужили док Браун и Марти из известнейшего цикла «Назад в будущее», авторы этого не скрывают.

На данный момент (осень 2021) вышло полностью пять сезонов.

Персонажи[править]

  • Рик Санчез С-137 — гениальный и немолодой ученый, алкоголик с постоянной отрыжкой. Скептик, крайне циничен, ворчлив, эгоистичен, но не лишён чувства юмора. Из-за своей гениальности и долбанутости нажил себе немало врагов во Вселенной. Недавно переехал к своей дочери в семью Смитов, с тех пор во все путешествия отправляется со своим внуком Морти. На словах готов бросить семью в случае опасности, но в критических ситуациях всегда защищает их прежде себя. Недолюбливает Джерри, и постоянно с ним конфликтует.
  • Морти Смит С-137  — внук Рика, мальчик 14 лет, обычный подросток. Путешествуя с дедом, поначалу не всегда понимал, что происходит, но быстро учится, и часто проявляет смекалку. Влюблён в Джессику, одноклассницу. Невротик с периодически прорывающейся агрессией, что неудивительно после приключений с дедом. Несмотря на то что с каждым сезоном становится все циничней и циничней, часто пытается проявлять благородство и защищать слабых. И почти всегда лучше бы он этого не делал, в большинстве случаев потому что цель не стоила защиты, будучи опасной для общества.
  • Бэт Смит (Санчез)  — дочь Рика, мать Морти, и жена Джерри, 34 года. Работает кардиохирургом-ветеринаром — преимущественно лошадиным. Родила Саммер в раннем возрасте, из чего, по словам самой Саммер, «постоянно делает проблему». Как и отец, имеет проблемы с алкоголем, в отличии от отца считает себя неполноценной. В отношении к людям иногда похожа на Рика, но прорывается это редко. В общем-то она не глупее Рика и имела когда-то отличные задатки, но бездарно их зафейлила и с огромным трудом получила даже диплом ветеринара.
    • В четвёртом сезоне мы видим что если она избавится наконец от своего комплекса неполноценности, то она может стать даже опаснее Рика!
  • Джерри Смит — отец Морти, муж Бэт, 34-35 лет. Как и Морти, наивен и глуповат, сильно комплексует из-за этого. Подшучивает над женой по поводу того, что она «не настоящий хирург». Очень любит фильм «Титаник». Безработный, о чём ему периодически напоминают все члены семьи фразами «найди работу».
  • Саммер Смит  — старшая сестра Морти, 17 лет. Типичный подросток с соответствующим кругом интересов. Время от времени приключается с Риком, хотя ей, в отличие от Морти, несколько труднее адаптироваться к происходящей на этих приключениях хрени. Временами, проявляет решительность и самоотверженность.

Тропы[править]

Если бы Рика и Морти снимали в России…

…или в Японии.

  • Антигерой — Рик Санчез собственной персоной. Безумный ученый, считающий, что вселенная слишком велика и многообразна, чтобы её можно было загнать в убогие категории Добра и Зла. Поэтому Рик себя ни в чем не ограничивает. Он циничен, безрассуден, потребительски относится к окружающим его людям. При всем при этом, он искренне привязан к своей семье, друзьям, да и когда его родной планете угрожает уничтожение — он всегда готов прийти на помощь.[1] Да и вообще, единственное чего он хочет — чтобы его оставили в покое. Ну, и чтобы в МакДональдс вернули его любимый сычуаньский соус.
  • Антимист-фильтр — какая бы чертовщина ни творилась в родном городе заглавных героев, уже максимум на следующее утро жители ведут себя как ни в чём не бывало.
  • Апокалиптическое порно — с завидной регулярностью демонстрируется как на других планетах, так и на бедной Земле.
  • Ассимилятор — старая подружка Рика, Юнити. Коллективный разум, желающий объединить всю Вселенную. Изначально Саммер отрицательно относились к ней, но она переменила своё мнение, когда поняла, что Юнити действительно заботилась о своих подопечных. Дело в том, что без её контроля «подшефный» вид практически мгновенно развязал расовую войну по идиотским (на взгляд людей) причинам. Воистину, для таких дебилов ассимиляция — самый оптимальный путь.
  • Балласт — Морти (да и вся его семья) в приключениях зачастую играют роль балласта (особенно с точки зрения Рика). Впоследствии ситуация несколько улучшается.
  • Безопасная пытка — субверсия шутки ради при допросе инопланетянина. «Эй, я думал, мы его ПЫТАЕМ, а не… наоборот!» (с) Морти.
  • Безумный ученый — сам Рик, выжимает педаль в другое измерение, нередко буквально.
  • Бездельник — Джерри. В третьем сезоне вообще живёт на пособие по безработице.
  • Боди-хоррор — обстебано: в одной из серий (анти)герои устроили миру генетическую чуму, превратившую человечество в отвратительных монстров, названных авторами мультфильма «кроненбергами» — в честь основателя жанра.
  • Визит в племя чудаков — сериал состоит из тропа более чем наполовину.
  • Вошёл во вкус — Морти во время Чистки сначала отказывается убивать, а потом входит во вкус и дает выход накопившейся агрессии. Там же — после того, как Саммер была уволена Дьяволом, Рик и Саммер отправляются в спортзал, а потом отправляются на презентацию нового продукта Дьявола и избивают его почти до смерти прямо на сцене. А уже потом, в конце серии отрываются на удачно подвернувшихся неонаци, хулиганах и людях, жестоко обращающихся с животными. Там же-Бэт, после того, как её друг детства Томми отказался вернуться, испробовала на нём и его «придворных» весь арсенал своих «игрушек», который ей когда-то смастерил Рик. Подсвечено самим Риком. Да и Джерри в сериях про эпидемию кроненбергов не отстаёт.
  • Вывих мозга — постоянно.
  • Вышел за хлебом — «Давай, вошли и вышли. Приключение на 20 минут.»
  • Геронтофил — в самой первой серии Рик отправляется в другое измерение, чтобы излечить своего внука Морти. Так как время в том мире идёт быстрее, чем в нашем, то люди уже давно победили все болезни и старость, и поэтому престарелый учёный произвёл здесь фурор, мгновенно став секс-звездой. Стиль ретро всегда в моде, вабба-лабба-даб-даб!
  • Деконструкция многих тропов и вытекающий из нее постмодернизм.
  • Драматическая болезнь — настигает Джерри во втором сезоне. Рик додумался запихать очередную инопланетную отраву в контейнер из-под мороженого и засунуть в морозилку. А Джерри додумался навернуть подозрительную субстанцию полной ложкой…
  • Дружба между поколениями — заглавные герои.
  • Женщины мудрее — деконструкция с Бет и Джерри Смит. Джерри постоянно показывают как идиота, саморазрушающего и неадекватного, и он позволяет Бет подавлять его, потому что она терпит его многочисленные недостатки. Поначалу это, конечно, выглядит так же динамично, но постепенно становится очевидно, что Бет терпит их взаимозависимые отношения, потому что она во многих отношениях так же сломлена, как и Джерри, получая извращенное злорадное удовольствие от того, что он терпит неудачу, чтобы она могла продолжать чувствовать превосходство и знать, что, каким бы жалким он ни был, он никогда не оставит ее так, как ее отец, независимо от того, как плохо она с ним обращается. В конечном счете, Бет почти наверняка более умна и компетентна, чем Джерри, но — мудрее? Не-а.
  • Жизнь есть сон — в одной из серий Рик подключает своего внука Морти к игральному инопланетному аппарату, который позволяет прожить жизнь обычного земного парня Роя — с 8 лет и до самой смерти. При этом игра начинается с того, что Рой говорит своей матери, что ему приснился кошмар, в котором ему привиделось все, что было до этого в сериале. Так что вполне возможно, что приключения Рика и Морти до этого действительно были сном ребенка, а вот дальнейшие похождения героев после окончания этой «игры» — это уже предсмертные галлюцинации престарелого Роя…
  • Забыл про сверхспособности — с фитильком, ибо речь не про способности, а про изобретения. Например, во втором сезоне Рик успешно использует прибор, замораживающий время. Но на протяжении всех дальнейших приключений ни разу про него не вспоминает, хотя он явно очень пригодился бы во многих ситуациях. Неужели магутор сломался? В том же втором сезоне Рик и Морти уходят в микромир, оставив Саммер в летающей тарелке. Перед уходом Рик активирует охранную систему, которая успешно справляется с задачей «охранять Саммер» Куча трупов и ПТСР у охраняемой не в счёт. Вопрос: почему эта охранная система не использовалась далее, когда тарелку бессчётное множество раз пытались угнать?
  • Закадровый момент крутости — в 4-ой серии 3-го сезона Рик Санчез в одиночку вынес силы Вселенского Зла и жестоко убил местного Темного Властелина… а потом поставил там свои ловушки и вернулся обратно. Но зрителям не показывают, как он это сделал, только результат: полную трупов злодейскую базу с подвешенным за кишки суперзлодеем. Причем и сам Рик не помнит, как он всё это провернул — на тот момент он был в стельку пьяным!
    • Морти в самой первой серии в одиночку обезвредил заряженную нейтрино-бомбу Рика. Тоже за кадром. При этом, судя по его реплике в вышеприведенной серии, ему не один раз приходилось проделывать такое.
  • Засунь это себе в… — в первой серии Морти вынужден засунуть именно туда семена инопланетного растения.
  • Заклятые друзья — как Рик с Морти, так и вся семья героев. Они довольно паршиво ладят в быту, но стоят друг за друга горой в действительно опасной ситуации… ну, в основном.
  • За всем стоял пёс — судя по стёртым воспоминаниям Морти, судьбами нашего мира управляют… белки! С ними даже Рик старается не связываться и бежит от них (в очередной раз) с Морти в другую альтернативную реальность.
  • Зеленые камушки — в одной из серий герои на таких камушках принесли домой инопланетных паразитов.
  • Злобные пришельцы — Громфломиты, основная раса Галактической Федерации, демонстрирующее высокую расистскую и милитаристскую направленность, и подразумевается, что они правят Федерацией как раса господ и относятся ко всем другим расам как гражданам второго сорта.
  • Интернет из летающей тарелки — злорадно обстебывается: Рик создал для своего корабля «микровселенский аккумулятор» — небольшую звездную систему в сжатом пространственно-временном континууме. На одной из планет этой системы, где зародилась разумная жизнь, Рик явился в образе «пришельца из космоса», который принёс «дары» — устройство, вырабатывающее электричество за счёт мускульной силы всего населения планеты. Естественно, «опасные излишки» энергии (т. е. большая её часть) отводится «наружу» Рику, а жители микровселенной получают лишь крохи.
  • Капитан Бафос — межгалактическая команда Заступников целиком состоит из таких персонажей.
  • Козёл, затем козёл с золотым сердцем — Рик.
  • Козёл был прав — Рик прав практически всегда, даже если это не очевидно с самого начала.
  • Коллективный разум — одна из серий посвящена роману Рика с коллективным планетарным разумом Юнити. Рик тот ещё затейник, ага.
    • Что интересно, Юнити бросила Рика. Потому что он на неё плохо влиял. Плохо влиял, да. На коллективный разум, захвативший целую планету, и мечтающий поработить остальную Галактику, да.
  • Копиркин — Планетина, копиркина Капитана Планеты из мультсериала «Команда спасателей Капитана Планеты». Копиркины спасателей тоже в наличии.
  • Кошколюди — жители планеты из эпизода «Судная ночь».
  • Кошмар головореза — неоднократно в исполнении Рика. Например, в эпизоде про Огурчика Рика, где Рик, превративший себя в огурец, вырезает целую секретную базу. Когда Рик в облике огурца говорит: «Я иду по ваши души!», в его опасность для окружающих охотно веришь.
  • Кошмарные медицинские состояния — во все поля.
  • Кнопка берсерка — Морти обычно мямлит и увещевает Рика, но стоит его вывести из себя, начинает орать, закатывать истерики и требовать справедливости. А если доведет кто-то другой, то Морти может не только обложить, но и чего похуже (например, в серии про Чистку Морти перебил кучу народу — сначала в качестве самозащиты, а потом увлекся).
    • Рик, хоть и обращается с Морти очень грубо, всё же, любит его: так, когда он узнал, что в фэнтези-измерении Морти пытался изнасиловать местный король, он пристрелил гада на месте.
  • Крутой ботан — Рик, даром что тощий как скелет, не просыхает и вообще уже сед и с пролысиной — отжимает педаль крутизны куда-то в другое измерение. Он не только супергениальный изобретатель (собрал летающую тарелку из гаражного хлама, а по пьяни так и норовит смастрячить нейтронную бомбу), но ловкостью и силой он способен потягаться с кем угодно. А однажды устранил нескольких тараканов, немаленькую крысиную стаю и русскую мафию. И всё это — в виде огурчика! Огурчика, Морти!
  • Культ любви — аверсия: Рик крайне цинично относится к любви, считая её не больше, чем химической реакцией. И он весьма доходчиво пытается донести свою мысль до Морти.
    • Хотя когда Юнити дала ему отставку он на полном серьёзе пытался покончить с собой. Рик, он такой Рик.
    • Странноватая история с Джерри в третьем сезоне. Закрутив интрижку с эффектной инопланетянкой с Крутабулона, он берёт себя в руки, его квартира из помойки превращается во вполне приличное жилище, и из хлюпика, боящегося бродячей собаки, он становится вполне себе убийцей вариксов. И это не считая телекинеза! Да здравствует любовь? Ага, щаз. Дети убеждают его разорвать отношения, потому что «Это всё равно просто назло маме». Мама, напомним, выставила Джерри потому что он не уживался с Риком.
  • Летающая тарелка — на подобной летает Рик.
  • Лицемерие — это смешно — в серии про микромир Морти отчитывает Рика за то, что он содержит целую микровселенную в рабстве. Далее же диалог повторяется практически один в один, только с Зипом и Риком в роли «обвинителя».
    • Потом Зип устраивает рекурсию слово в слово для внутримирового ученого и внезапно понимает, что его мир тоже создан Риком.
  • Ложные воспоминания — серия, в которой дом Смитов оккупируют занесённые Риком из космоса паразиты, прикидывающиеся твоим хорошим знакомым и внедряющие тебе в голову память о старой дружбе.
  • Магия vs. наука — такое противостояние развернулось между Риком и безымянным волшебником из мира драконов. Поначалу чародей одержал верх, ибо изобретения Рика в мире магии не работали. Но потом учёный сполна отыгрался, изучив местные волшебные законы физики.
  • Манипуляция воспоминаниями — как выяснилось, у Рика есть целое хранилище для стёртых воспоминаний. А у Саммер есть чёткие инструкции от дедушки, что делать в том случае, если они с Морти туда доберутся. Бывают вещи, которые действительно лучше не вспоминать
  • Машина лотофагов — здесь любят этот троп:
    • в 4-й серии первого сезона Рик и Джерри помещены в симуляцию, чтобы узнать секрет изготовления концентрированной темной материи.
    • Во 2-й серии второго сезона Рик и Морти по очереди играют в некую игру, позволяющую полностью прожить жизнь за персонажа, не осознавая, что это симуляция.
    • В 1-й серии третьего сезона галактическое правительство через симуляцию пытается узнать у Рика, как он изобрел портальную пушку.
    • В 8-ой серии 3-го сезона машину лотофагов используют в Цитадели Риков, чтобы заставлять Рика-простака переживать вновь и вновь самые счастливые моменты из жизни… чтобы затем выкачивать из его мозга гормоны счастья и использовать их как начинку для сладостей.
  • Межмировая организация — Цитадель Риков, объединявшая Риков из разных вселенных под единым правительством, Советом Риков. Совет пал усилиями Рика C-137. По состоянию на конец третьего сезона Цитадель под властью Злого Морти.
  • Мультивселенная — в сериале по-настоящему безгранична. Чего стоит телевизор, показывающий инопланетные каналы, на которых творится всякое безумие и целый совет Риков и Морти из других вселенных.
  • Музыкальный символ — сперва это была так называемая «Тема Злого Морти», потом — написанный Риком для галактического конкурса талантов трек «Давай швифтанемся», а третий сезон снова сделал «Тему Злого Морти» популярной у фанатов. Группа Blonde Redhead, трек For the damaged coda.
  • Наделать в штаны — оба заглавных героя оконфузились не единожды.
  • Наука — это круто — каждая серия буквально кричит об этом. Неудивительно, так как мультсериал начался как фанфик на «Назад в будущее».
  • Невыносимый гений — Рик, просто Рик. Не ладит даже с остальными Риками.
  • Непонятная штуковина — плюмбус. Он есть в каждом доме (в одной из параллельных Вселенных), и в этом эпизоде вам во всех подробностях покажут процесс его изготовления. Вот только для чего он предназначен, зрителям так и не объяснят.
    • Челмедведосвин — он же.
  • Неправдоподобно убедительная маскировка — в одной из серий фигурировали метаморфы из другого измерения, использующие для маскировки образы из памяти тех существ, в общество которых они попали. Так как эти создания зачастую не понимали смысла воспоминаний, то на выходе получались просто сюрреалистичные создания вроде велоцираптора-фотографа или говорящего холодильника. Тем не менее, эти фрики воспринимались окружающими как рядовые члены общества. Впрочем, тут длинный фитилек — подобное поведение других людей объясняется тем, что метаморфы способны были работать с памятью не только на «прием», но и на «передачу» — таким образом, принявший облик монстра Франкенштейна пришелец воспринимался как друг семьи и старый армейский сослуживец.
    • Есть мнение, что принятие паразитами странных образов связано только с тем, что они начинают подстраиваться под Рика. До его прихода паразит принял вполне реалистичный образ дяди Стива, в существование которого поверили в том числе и зрители. А вот после прихода Рика паразиты начинают превращаться в говорящие холодильники, динозавров и т.д.
  • Неудачная басня — каждый раз, когда Морти или Саммер пытаются поступать правильно (предотвратить убийство, помочь супергероям спасти планету) всё заканчивается совершенно жутко, и только помощь злобного эгоистичного козла Рика хоть как-то разруливает ситуацию.
    • Или смысл басни в том, что старших слушаться надо, даже если они мудаки, ибо опыта все равно больше, в том числе и в неудачах из-за попыток вести себя по совести?
  • Ну, они же роботы. — уморительно смешная игра с тропом в пилотном выпуске. Когда перепуганный Морти отказывается стрелять в сотрудников межпространственной таможни, Рик мотивирует его тем, что «это всего лишь роботы, Морти! В роботов можно стрелять!» Каково же было удивление Морти, когда первый же подстреленный им «робот» принялся стонать от боли, истекать кровью и поминать свою жену и детишек. Но Рик и тут выкрутился: «Это было образное выражение, Морти! Они бюрократы, я их не уважаю».
  • Он просто идиот — Джерри Смит, отец Морти. Идиот тройной отгонки.
  • Отсылки, Аллюзии, Перекличка в отношении всей фантастики.
  • Отрастить бороду — самые первые серии смотрелись как этакий смягчённый вариант «Южного Парка» в фантастическом антураже. В дальнейшем, когда авторы набрали разгон, в сериале появилась драма: героям пришлось решать сложные моральные вопросы и принимать непростые решения, в сатирическом ключе стали подниматься проблемы расизма, дискриминации, врачебной этики и многого другого.
  • Пародия — здесь это часто бывает.
  • Помните нового мышонка? — чуть ли не в каждой серии у Рика объявляются закадычные враги и заклятые друзья, о которых раньше и помину не было. С обоснованием: мультиверс же!
  • Против биохимии не попрешь — в седьмом эпизоде второго сезона Рик перемещается в тело своего молодого клона, чтобы убить вампира в школе внуков, но личность старого Рика вытесняется в подсознание и возвращать его приходится силой.
  • Прямое упоминание — постоянно. Рик сравнивает себя с Доктором Кто, Морти ссылается на DC и Marvel, и вообще, это уже было в «Симпсонах».
  • Птицелюди — Птичья Личность.
  • Разрушение четвертой стены — в финале первого сезона Рик орёт в камеру «Крутите титры!», а в первой серии третьего, разъясняя Морти свою мотивацию, выдаёт: «Я хочу ещё этого мулановского соуса к наггетсам, Морти! Это моя сюжетная арка, Морти! Даже если на это уйдёт ещё девять сезонов!»
  • Рейхскомиссариат Земля — серии про Галактическую Федерацию в конце второго сезона, где Федерация присоединяет Землю. После того, как Рик уничтожил Федерацию, на Земле её режим тоже пал.
  • Роман с Дуней Кулаковой — периодически практикует Морти.
  • Ряженые под Рейх — 4 сезон 1 серия. Человеческий мир и мир креветок, где установлен фашистский режим, Морти, креветки и другие нацисты носят форму стилизованную под СС, вооруженные пистолетами Люгера. У людей символика скрещенных гаечных ключей или рыцарского креста, а у креветок само их изображение, тем более две креветки очень похожи на Гиммлера и Гейндриха.
  • Свадьба не задалась — свадьба Птичьей Личности и Тэмми невеста оказалась агентом под прикрытием и застрелила жениха, пытаясь добраться до Рика
    • Педаль в асфальт в серии про инопланетное приложение для знакомств, позволяющее подобрать идеальную пару. Из-за глюков в этом самом приложении с бракосочетаниями начал твориться феерический кавардак: молодожёны сбегали толпами, чтобы воссоединиться с очередной «любовью всей жизни».
  • Сепульки и сепуление — сквонч и сквончение соответственно.
  • Синдром Элджернона — чуть было не настиг Морти в первой серии первого сезона: семена инопланетных растений стимулировали его интеллект, но откат, по уверениям Рика, должен был наступить уже через полчаса. К счастью, Рик успел нейтрализовать действие токсинов.
  • Смертоносная змея — целую планету таких разумных ползучих показали в пятом эпизоде четвёртого сезона.
  • Старик Похабыч — Рик Санчез выжимает педаль в иное измерение: «Подожди… Подожди, не так. Нам нужен дельтаплан… а еще костюм дядюшки Сэма с открытым пахом… а еще хочу, чтобы поле стадиона было набито голыми рыжухами… И чтобы вместо зрителей были люди, отдаленно похожие на моего отца».
    • А ещё он однажды трахнул и обрюхатил целую живую планету! Ну, не он обрюхатил, как оказалось. Но он очень старался!
  • Так грубо, что уже смешно и Непристойно — значит, смешно — педаль уходит в другое измерение. В каждой серии.
  • Тест Бехдель — внутримировой пример в серии про поезд-антологию. Чтобы его пройти, Морти приходится сочинять на ходу. Результатом становится уморительный диалог Бет и Саммер про эти дни, танцы и нашествие космических скорпионов.
  • Злой двойник — злой Рик из параллельного мира, который убивал других Риков и похищал их Морти. На самом деле он был марионеткой своего злобного гениального Морти. В третьем сезоне этот анти-Морти благодаря своей харизме смог захватить власть в Цитадели Риков и сейчас, по всей видимости, готовит знатную козу для Рика из земного измерения C-137. По популярной фанатской теории, он является первым Морти оригинального Рика, которого мы видим в самой начале заставки мультсериала (когда Рик сбегает через портал, оставляя его один на один с монстрами).
    • В финале 5 сезона таки раскрыл свою цель и добился ее — сбежал в недостижимую для других часть мультивселенной, где Рик не самый умный человек во вселенной.
  • Умный — не значит мудрый — Рик Санчез же! Самое умное млекопитающее в Галактике, ученый, создавший портальную пушку, позволяющую перемешаться в пространстве, времени, между измерениями и параллельными реальностями. При всем при этом — полная безответственность и позерство, чуть ли не подростковый максимализм и полная неспособность признавать собственные ошибки. Его внук Морти, хоть и значительно уступает Рику в интеллекте и жизненном опыте, нередко выглядит намного мудрее и взрослее этого престарелого ученого.
  • Учёный выглядит как Эйнштейн — Рик Санчез.
  • Федерация — галактическое правительство. В начале третьего сезона уничтожена Риком, который сумел обрушить её финансовую систему и вызвать дефолт.)
  • Филлер — истории из Цитадели Риков.
  • Фрейдистская биология — такое регулярно встречается среди различных инопланетян.
  • Хаотичный нейтральный — собственно, сам Рик. Кристально чистый образец хаотично-нейтрального персонажа.
  • Человек массового поражения — Рик Санчез. Массовое поражение? О, да, детка, Вубба Лубба даб даб! Превратить целую параллельную реальность Земли в наполненную монстрами планету? Да легко! Развалить Галактическую Федерацию, всего лишь заменив единицу на ноль? Пффф, без проблем! В стельку пьяным в одиночку разделать как Бог черепаху силы местного Вселенского Зла и подвесить их предводителя подыхать на собственных кишках? Ага, это всё он. Самое смешное, что Рик все это совершал исключительно со скуки или лени. На что способен этот злой копиркин Дока Брауна, если действительно разозлится — страшно представить.
  • Шоу внутри шоу — уже упоминавшиеся передачи межгалактического ТВ, которые заглавные герои смотрят на досуге. А ещё — на редкость упоротый спектакль, который ставят не такие уж воображаемые шкажошные шушества для Бет.
  • Эти злобные русские… — целое логово таких Рик выносит, превратившись в огурчик (просто так совпало).
  • Экзистенциальный ужас — было обыграно в одной из серий, где инопланетный (на самом деле нет) учёный не смог переварить информацию о том, что его родная вселенная является всего лишь источником энергии для другого иномирянина, вселенная которого, в свою очередь, является автомобильным аккумулятором для Рика (а его вселенная призвана служить развлечением уже для нас, зрителей). Результатом стал весьма эффектный суицид.
    • Сабж случился с Морти после того, как родная реальность наших главных героев оказалась уничтожена по его вине. Рик просто перенёс себя и внука в другой параллельный мир, где их местные вариации погибли в результате несчастного случая, чтобы там занять «вакантное» место. Показанное в конце этой серии ошарашенное лицо Морти, до которого дошло, насколько Вселенная непостижима и неподвластна пониманию ограниченному разуму человека пополам с осознанием ужаса того, что теперь он должен жить в доме, где на заднем дворе закопаны трупы настоящих Рика и Морти этой Вселенной, отлично иллюстрирует троп.

Примечания[править]

  1. ↑ Ну а если предотвратить разрушение Земли не вышло… Что же, тогда Рик использует свою портальную пушку для бегства в другой параллельный мир, где его двойнику это удалось, но сам местный Рик по каким-либо причинам после этого быстро погиб. Мультивселенная же!

    • Рик и Морти (англ. Rick and Morty) — американский комедийный научно-фантастический анимационный сериал, созданный Джастином Ройландом и Дэном Хармоном и выпускаемый в рамках блока Adult Swim на телеканале Cartoon Network. Премьера сериала состоялась в декабре 2013 года; второй сезон вышел в 2015. 1 октября 2017 года завершился третий сезон, и в мае 2018 года было объявлено о выпуске ещё 70-ти эпизодов при неопределённом количестве сезонов[1].
    В мае 2019 года была объявлена дата выхода четвёртого сезона — ноябрь 2019[2].

    Сериал посвящён злоключениям циничного безумного учёного Рика Санчеза и его наивного, капризного и неуверенного в себе внука Морти; создатель сериала Ройланд озвучивает обоих персонажей. Сериал, выросший из хулиганской анимационной пародии на серию фильмов «Назад в будущее», получил чрезвычайно высокие отзывы критики, особо отмечавшей его оригинальность, креативность и чувство юмора.

    Создание[править]

    Создатели мультсериала, Джастин Ройланд и Дэн Хармон, познакомились в Лос-Анджелесе на ежемесячном некоммерческом фестивале короткометражных фильмов Channel 101, одним из основателей которого был Хармон[3]. Участники этого фестиваля предлагали на суд зрителей пилотные версии своих короткометражных работ, после чего зрители выбирали те из них, которые, по их мнению, достойны далее выпускаться в качестве сериалов. Через год после основания фестиваля, с 2004 года, Ройланд начал присылать на него свои работы. Пилоты Ройланда, которые Хармон описывал как «больные и поехавшие», вызывали неоднозначную реакцию зрителей, но тем не менее, Хармону пришёлся по вкусу такой юмор, и они начали сотрудничать[3].

    В 2006 году Хармоном и Ройландом для Channel 101 был создан мультфильм «The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti», рассказывающий о приключениях главных героев серии фильмов «Назад в будущее» Эмметта Брауна и Марти Макфлая[4]. Вкратце Хармон описал результат как «бастардизация и порнографический вандализм»: на протяжении всего мультфильма Док убеждал Марти в том, что любую возникшую проблему можно решить, если заняться с ним оральным сексом, а комический эффект достигался путём многократного повторения имён главных героев[4]. Мультфильм вызвал сильные эмоции у зрителей и Ройланд создал ещё несколько короткометражных работ, в которых герои стали постепенно отходить от своих прототипов из оригинальных фильмов[4][5]. Позже Хармон посвятил всё своё время работе над сериалом «Сообщество», а Ройланд занялся озвучиванием мультсериала «Рыбология».

    Симпсоны

    В октябре 2014 года на New York Comic Con Джастин Ройланд объявил о готовящемся небольшом кроссовере с «Симпсонами»[22]. 14 мая 2015 года на официальном канале «Adult Swim» был опубликован коуч-гэг (англ. couch gag), в котором Д. Ройналд выступил в качестве приглашённой звезды, озвучив Рика и Морти. Этот ролик стал заставкой 574-го эпизода «Симпсонов» под названием «Mathlete’s Feat» (русск. «Подвиг математички», 22 серия 26 сезона), премьера которого состоялась 17 мая[23]. Мэтт Гроунинг назвал эту заставку «возможно, самой масштабной и длительной диванной сценой» (англ. «probably the most ambitious and lengthy couch gag that we’d done»)[24].

    Gravity falls[25]
    • Создатели «Рика и Морти» и «Gravity Falls» заявляли о возможном кроссовере этих двух мультфильмов. Планы были отменены, так как сериал «Gravity Falls» закончился.
    • в 1 сезоне: в «Gravity Falls» в портал затянуло ручку, блокнот и кружку Стэна Пайнса. Именно эти 3 предмета выпали из портала в «Рике и Морти».
    • В 1 серии 3 сезона, когда Морти и Саммер прибывают в цитадель Риков, из портала выходят другой Рик и другой Морти, у которого в руках лежат: блокнот и кружка, которые выпали из портала в 10 серии 1 сезона, и один из Дневников Форда. Далее мельком в кадре рядом с другим Риком стоят другие Морти в образе Мейсона (Диппера) и Мейбл Пайнс.
    • Во 2 серии 3 сезона «Рика и Морти» в кадре появляется силуэт Билла Шифра.[26]
    • В 8 серии 3 сезона в один из моментов на колбах с воспоминаниями можно заметить надписи: «Stanford» и «Bill C.», что означает «Стэнфорд» и «Билл Шифр». Эти колбы синего цвета, что означает что Морти попросил Рика стереть эти воспоминания ему. Вполне возможно что они бывали в измерении Гравити Фолз, и может даже знакомы с некоторыми персонажами.
    Другие
    • 30 ноября 2015 года Adult Swim выпустили 30-секундный рекламный ролик для Hardee’s и Carl’s Jr. В этом видео Рик приводит в спальню Морти живые бургеры[27].
    • В трейлере предстоящего фильма «Лига Справедливости» на мониторе в апартаментах Барри Аллена можно увидеть кадры из мультсериала[28].
    • В конце 1 серии 3 сезона, Рик заявил Морти, что хочет найти «тот самый сычуаньский соус», который продавали в МакДоналдсе в день выхода мультфильма «Мулан» в кинотеатрах США, и планирует в течение ближайших девяти сезонов (97 лет) искать этот соус. Благодаря влиянию этой серии, фанаты телешоу поддержали идею, и тем самым была создана петиция и по большому количеству собранным подписей, Шеф-повар из МакДоналдс заявил, что попробует повлиять на возвращение «того самого сычуаньского соуса» для наггетсов в продажу[29]. Кроме того, накануне официальной даты начала показа третьего сезона МакДоналдс прислал авторам сериала запас сычуанского соуса «из измерения C-1998M, где всегда 1998-й год»[30].
    • В третьем эпизоде третьего сезона мультсериала после титров появилась надпись: «Игра престолов [2011-2017]», что можно интерпретировать как шутку о смерти сериала[31]. И хотя Дэн Хармон никогда не стеснялся высказывать непопулярное мнение, он разъяснил, что это не его идея. Об этом он написал в своём профиле Instagram. Там Хармон утверждает, что идея шутки принадлежит Adult Swim, и это то, с чем он не согласен. До заявления Хармона от шутки также открестился официальный Twitter ТВ-шоу и соавтор мультсериала Джастин Ройланд.

    В других медиа[править]

    Комикс[править]

    На New York Comic Con 2014 главный редактор издательства «Oni Press», Джеймс Лукас Джонс (англ. James Lucas Jones), заявил, что комикс-адаптация мультсериала выйдет в 2015 году[32]. Первый выпуск ежемесячной серии Rick & Morty вышел в апреле 2015[33] и получил 2 «черепа» из 5 на сайте Bloody Disgusting[34]. Сценаристом серии стал Зак Горман (англ. Zac Gorman), художником — C. J. Cannon,[35] колористом — Райан Хилл (англ. Ryan Hill)[36].

    Видеоигры[править]

    15 июня 2015 года компания Valve совместно с Adult Swim Games выпустили Rick and Morty Announcer Pack — набор голосов для комментариев в игре Dota 2[37][38][39].

    Adult Swim Games выпустили 13 января 2016 года пародию на покемонов — Pocket Mortys — бесплатную однопользовательскую ролевую игру для iOS и Android, разработанную Big Pixel Studios[40][41]. Сюжет основывается на серии «Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind»[42].
