Rick Sanchez
Rick and Morty began as a crude animated parody of Back to the Future and became the most influential adult animated series of the 2010s, largely by taking its own premise seriously. Rick is the smartest being in any universe, and the show's argument is that this is a catastrophe rather than an achievement: infinite capability plus an infinite multiverse produces a man for whom nothing has stakes, and the series is unusually clear-eyed about the fact that his nihilism is a symptom rather than a philosophy.

- Also known as
- Rick C-137

Who is Rick Sanchez?
Rick and Morty began as a crude animated parody of Back to the Future and became the most influential adult animated series of the 2010s, largely by taking its own premise seriously. Rick is the smartest being in any universe, and the show's argument is that this is a catastrophe rather than an achievement: infinite capability plus an infinite multiverse produces a man for whom nothing has stakes, and the series is unusually clear-eyed about the fact that his nihilism is a symptom rather than a philosophy. Dan Harmon's structural approach — every episode built on a strict story circle — gives the absurdity a spine. The show is explicitly for adults in language, violence and subject matter, and its fandom has at times been a liability for it.

The defining adult animated series of the 2010s and the most commercially significant Adult Swim property. Its treatment of nihilism as pathology rather than posture is unusual for a comedy.
What Rick Sanchez looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: Spiked blue-white hair, unibrow, lab coat, and the green portal
The green swirling portal is the strongest standalone graphic in the franchise and is recognisable with no characters present. The acid-green and cyan palette is distinctive and immediately identifies the show.
