One of the most popular television programs of the last decade, Rick and Morty hit our screens in 2013, and has maintained a cult following ever since! The show was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network’s night-time programming block, Adult Swim.

The series follows the misadventures of cynical mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his good-hearted, but fretful grandson Morty Smith, who split their time between domestic life and interdimensional adventures.

The series has expanded to well beyond the television screen in recent years, with card games, stickers, books, monopoly variations, and comics all looking to replicate the wacky world that both Rick and Morty inhabit!

For those with an interest in Science, or indeed witty and fast-paced comedy, then this might be exactly what you are looking for if you have not managed to get around to it yet.

Of course, over its near 9-year run, it has amassed a collection of 50-60 episodes thus far, and as a result, you may not be shocked to hear that there is a range of funny and witty quotes attached to both Rick and Morty that we are sure will get a laugh from you.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show, as we bring you 50 of Rick and Morty’s best!
