The 11 Best 'Rick and Morty' Quotes in Honor of Season 3's Return No, wubba lubba dub dub is NOT one of them. By Corey Plante on July 31, 2017. Filed Under Adult Animation, Adult Swim & Animation.

Hey everyone, Justin Roiland here. I co-created a show called Rick and Morty. You’ve probably never heard of it. It’s not very popular. I think it only airs in The Bahamas at like... 3:00 in the morning. But whatever.

I also co-founded a game dev studio called Squanch Games with Tanya Watson. She was the EP on Fortnite at Epic Games. She's also happily married with two children. Man. She's got it all. And what do I got? Nothing. Besides this collectors edition Star Wars cup and some old Pez.

This life is meaningless. We're all just quickly rolling ever faster towards the gaping black hole of death. Jesus, I am all over the place with this thing. I think I need to lie down...

Ok, I’m back. Anyway, our first full-length game, Trover Saves the Universe, is OUT NOW ON PC AND PLAYSTATION 4! We’re really excited about it, and we’ve got some people from Squanch Games here to answer all your questions:

  • Me /u/justinroiland

  • Mikey Spano (Art Director) u/squanchmikey

  • Anthony Bosco (Narrative Editor) /u/squanchbosco

Here's a trailer and stuff:

And something featuring some characters from Rick and Morty that you might recognize (but probably not):

A bit about the game:

  • Trover Saves the Universe is your classic, run-of-the-mill story about your dogs being dognapped by a beaked lunatic named Glorkon. And get this, he stuffed your lil puppos into his eye holes, allowing him to destroy the universe. Now, it's up to you and Trover to stop him.

Mmm. Wow. That storyline is classic. Classic like a BLT sandwich, you know?

Did I mention you can play it in both VR and NON-VR! This game is a real hot ticket item folks! So, drop whatever you’re doing, unless you’re holding a baby, and go buy Trover Saves the Universe!

PROOF:

UPDATE: Ok. So, I had to be in the edit bay with Harmon literally 40 minutes ago. We don't want season four to get delayed for an AMA right? I do feel bad that I am so slow with this. I tried to go fast. I'll come back later after the edit and keep going! You guys are awesome! I really hope you check out Trover, it was a dream to make and we are super proud of it.

UPDATE 2 (7pm PST) I'm going to try to get through as many of these as I can! Here we go

UPDATE 2.5 (10pm PST) Ok, I feel a bit better. I did some more. I pulled it off. Mission accomplished. Be a good person to those around you JUST IN CASE you are them. Read Andy Weir's the egg and you'll know what I mean. See ya when I am you!

Rick and Morty is an American adult animatedscience fictionsitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block Adult Swim. The series follows the misadventures of cynical mad scientistRick Sanchez and his good-hearted but fretful grandson Morty Smith, who split their time between domestic life and interdimensional adventures. The series premiered on December 2, 2013, and the third season concluded on October 1, 2017. In May 2018, the series was picked up for an additional 70 episodes over an unspecified number of seasons. On May 15, 2019, it was announced that season four will debut in November 2019.

Roiland voices the eponymous characters, with Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer and Sarah Chalke voicing the rest of the family. The series originated from an animated shortparody film of Back to the Future, The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti, created by Roiland for Channel 101, a short film festival co-founded by Harmon. When Adult Swim approached Harmon for television show ideas, he and Roiland decided to develop a program based on the short. The series has been acclaimed by critics for its originality, creativity, and humor.

Premise and main characters

The members of the Smith household. From the left: Jerry Smith, Beth Smith, Summer Smith, Morty Smith, and Rick Sanchez

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.[2] 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 car.

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. 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. 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.

Different versions of the characters inhabit other dimensions throughout the multiverse and their personal characteristics can vary from one reality to another. 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 necessarily apply to every other member of the Smith household. 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 Summer, Beth and Jerry behind.

Season 4

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.[3] Harmon had also stated that he wishes for the upcoming fourth season to consist of more than ten episodes.[4]

And

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.[5] One year later, at the WarnerMedia 2019 Upfronts Presentation, the fourth season of Rick and Morty was announced to debut in November 2019.[6]

Production

Development

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.[7] 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.[7] 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 intensely 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.[8] 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 give him oral sex.[9] 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.[9][10] Harmon would later create and produce Community, an NBC sitcom, while Roiland would work primarily in voice acting for Disney's Fish Hooks and Cartoon Network's Adventure Time.

In 2012, Harmon was briefly fired from Community. Adult Swim, searching for a more prime-time, 'hit' show,[11] approached Harmon shortly afterward, who initially viewed the channel as unfit for his style. He also was unfamiliar with animation, and his process for creating television focuses more heavily on dialogue, characters, and story.[10] 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.[9] Roiland initially wanted the show's run time to consist of one eleven-minute segment, but Adult Swim pushed for a half-hour program.[11] 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.[9] 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.[10]

The first draft was completed in six hours on the Paramount Pictures lot in Dan Harmon's unfurnished Community office.[12] The duo had broken the story that day, sold the pilot, and then sat down to write.[10][13] Roiland, while acknowledging a tendency for procrastination, encouraged Harmon to stay and write the entire first draft.[12] '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.[10] Adult Swim was initially 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.[12] Adult Swim placed a tamer TV-14 rating on the program, which initially 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.[10]

The main theme 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'.[14]

Writing

Harmon has noted that the writers' room at the show's studio bears a striking resemblance to the one used for Community.[10] In comparing the two, he noted that the writing staff of Rick and Morty was significantly smaller, and more 'rough and tumble verbally'.[10] 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.[15] The writing staff first meets and discusses ideas, which evolve into a story.[7] Discussions often include anecdotes from personal life as well as thoughts on the science fiction genre.[10] 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.[7] 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.[16][17]

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.[12] Roiland has stated his and Harmon's intentions for the series to lack traditional continuity, opting for discontinuous storylines 'not bound by rules'.[18] 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.[7]

Animation and voice recording

Animation for the show is done using Toon Boom Harmony, post-production work is done in Adobe After Effects, and background art is done in Adobe Photoshop.[19] Production of animation is handled by Bardel Entertainment in Vancouver, Canada.[20]

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.'[15]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.[21] 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.'[22]

When recording dialogue, Roiland does a considerable amount of improvisation, in order to make the characters feel more natural.[23]

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.[9][11] 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.[15] The series is inspired by British-style storytelling, as opposed to traditional American family TV stories.[7] 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.'[24]

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.'[25] 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.'[26]

Philosophy

Rick and Morty has been described as 'a never-ending fart joke wrapped around a studied look into nihilism'.[27] 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.[28] 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'.[29]

Harmon describes Rick as a self-interested anarchist, who doesn't like being told what to do.[30] He believes that the character's life on a larger scale has caused him mental illness,[24] and opines that 'the knowledge that nothing matters—while accurate—gets you nowhere'.[31] 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.[32] 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.[33]

Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die. Come watch TV.
— Morty Smith, in the episode 'Rixty Minutes'

Reception

Critical reception

Rick and Morty has received near-universal critical acclaim, holding a 97% approval rating by critics on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.[47] 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'.[48]Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times praised the series and stated that it was 'Grandparenting at its unhinged finest.'[49] 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.'[26]

Todd Spangler of Variety gave the series a lukewarm review; while he found the series was passable, he contrasted it with other Adult Swim series as 'often seems overly reliant on simply being frenetic at the expense of being witty' and enjoyed it as 'a welcome attempt to dream just a little bigger'.[50] David Sims of The A.V. Club gave the series an 'A−'. In reviewing the first two episodes, he complimented the animation for its 'clean, simple style'. He stated that while the series has 'a dark, sick sensibility', he praised its 'effort to give each character a little bit of depth', further applauding Roiland's voice talent for the eponymous characters.[51]
