Test your Rick and Morty knowledge! From the Smith family to the Council of Ricks, interdimensional cable, and the darkest corners of infinite dimensions.
Rick and Morty is an Adult Swim animated science fiction comedy series created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon. Premiering in December 2013, the show follows alcoholic genius scientist Rick Sanchez and his anxious 14-year-old grandson Morty Smith as they travel across dimensions and the universe, getting into increasingly bizarre and dangerous adventures. The show is celebrated for its blend of crude humor, genuine philosophical depth, emotional storytelling, and intricate science fiction concepts.
The show's central cast includes Rick (voiced by Justin Roiland), Morty (also Roiland), Beth Smith (Rick's daughter, voiced by Sarah Chalke), Jerry Smith (Beth's husband, Morty's father, voiced by Chris Parnell), and Summer Smith (Morty's teenage sister, voiced by Spencer Grammer). The concept of infinite alternate dimensions ("C-137" being the main continuity) allows the show to explore mortality, identity, and meaning in ways that more grounded shows cannot. The evil Morty / "Evil Rick" storyline across seasons is one of animated TV's most ambitious multi-season narrative arcs. Animated series with complex mythology reward careful, multiple viewings.
Rick and Morty popularized science concepts like the Szechuan sauce campaign (accidentally triggering a real McDonald's controversy), the "microverse battery" episode (a philosophical thought experiment about free will and exploitation), and "Pickle Rick" (a fan-favorite episode that simultaneously satirizes its own cult following). The show won the Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program in 2018. Long-running animated series like Rick and Morty develop passionate fan communities that engage deeply with lore and theory-crafting.
