With characters inspired by Back to the Future, Adult Swim’s “Rick and Morty” is the perfect animated portrayal of an insane scientist and his insecure nephew. The show, which just ended its second season run, is jam-packed with horror references, which is why I continue to cram it down your throats. Beyond that, it’s the best thing on television right now, period.
Rick is the show’s central character, an alcoholic scientist who is always belching as he rants through the testing of his wide variety of scientific projects. The constant burping is one of his many character traits, thus it happens so frequently that the viewer often doesn’t even notice. How often? Well, check out this video that celebrates the gut bombs of “Rick and Morty”.
“After having been missing for nearly 20 years, Rick Sanchez suddenly arrives at daughter Beth’s doorstep to move in with her and her family. Although Beth welcomes Rick into her home, her husband, Jerry, isn’t as happy about the family reunion. Jerry is concerned about Rick, a sociopathic scientist, using the garage as his personal laboratory. In the lab, Rick works on a number of sci-fi gadgets, some of which could be considered dangerous. But that’s not all Rick does that concerns Jerry. He also goes on adventures across the universe that often involve his grandchildren, Morty and Summer.”
