Rick and Morty

Rick and Morty is a TV show produced by and airing on Adult Swim. It's a sci-fi, dark humor-filled animated American TV show that follows Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith on their way-past-fucked-up adventures through space. On Earth, Rick and Morty have a family — the Smiths — that has your typical Nuclear Family set-up: the married mom and dad with at least one child and a pet. Jerry and Beth, the dad and mom, have two children, Morty and Summer.

With Rick and Morty, the main duo of the show, Rick is the Mad Scientist who's so smart, he's the single smartest man in the universe, and Morty is the wide-eyed Innocent Buddy-type sidekick who tags along as he witnesses madness on his adventures with his sociopath of a granddad. Together, they travel through space and get whatever they need done in a no-matter-the-cost-type style that usually involves aliens dropping dead left and right, the two blowing up the possessions and civilizations of their enemies, and other chaotic parts of an experience that would leave most people shaken for life.
