We got our own *urp* trope page, Morty!

— Morty, "The Rickshank Rickdemption" "I wanted you to have a normal life. That's something that you can't have when Rick shows up. Everything real turns fake, everything right is wrong, all you know is that you know nothing and he knows everything. And, well... well, he's not a villain, Summer, but he shouldn't be your hero. He's more like a demon or a super fucked up god."

Rick and Morty is a darkly comedic series created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block [adult swim]. Originally, the series was based on Channel101's The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti, a Back to the Future parody.

This bizarre series centers around the misadventures of Morty Smith, a kind-hearted yet troubled young high school student, and Rick Sanchez, Morty's snarky, morally-unsound alcoholic Mad Scientist grandfather (both voiced by Justin Roiland). Rick constantly pulls Morty and his family out of their normal lives to go on sci-fi acid trip adventures across the multiverse and help him carry out insane science experiments. Morty's parents think of Rick as a negative influence on their son, but they keep Rick around the house anyway just as long as he sort of keeps Morty in school.

The first five episodes of Season 4 aired from November 10, 2019, to December 15, 2019; after a five month hiatus, the last five episodes of Season 4 aired from May 3, 2020, to May 31, 2020. In July 2020, Season 5 was confirmed by the release of a brief sneak peak of an episode, along with a vague release date for the full season at some point in 2021. At the same time, it was confirmed that Season 6 was also in the early work stages.
