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. The man and woman of the house, Jerry and Beth Smith respectively(?), have the most loveless of Loveless Marriages as they spend much more time against each other than with each other instead of the other way around, like how a marriage should be. The two of them had two children, Morty and Summer, who have to deal with the never out-of-place bickering of their two parents on a basis that can be assumed to be nearly daily.

With Rick and Morty, 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 normally doesn't have the stomach for most of the madness he has to witness 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 way that usually involves aliens dropping dead left and right, the main duo blowing up the belongings of their enemies, and other chaotic elements of an experience that would leave most people shaken for life.
