It’s time to get schwifty in here, Rick & Morty fans. The hit Adult Swim show keeps releasing one great season after another, and every time is worth the wait. The episode “Mort Dinner Rick Andre” was only the beginning of 10 new episodes from season 5 that left us begging for more. When the show first aired in 2013, the pilot episode received an overwhelmingly positive response, praised by critics and viewers alike.
It’s hard to believe that Rick & Morty has been on the air for almost 9 years now, but then again, it’s also hard to believe that a show that revolves around a cynical, misanthropic, and alcoholic genius with no regard for life or consequences could ever become so beloved. But it has. And though the show is known for its creativity and biting humor, fans and critics can agree that the show’s main characters, Rick and Morty themselves, are what ties all of these elements together in one of the most entertaining shows around today.
If you’re here, there are two possibilities: you found this article while scrolling around the internet, or you purposely searched for Rick & Morty quotes on your favorite search engine. But who cares how you landed here? You deserve to get to know more catchphrases from this incredible TV show. While we’re waiting for season 6, let’s take a look back at some of the best Rick and Morty quotes that made this animated series so iconic!

“I’ll tell you how I feel about school, Jerry: It’s a waste of time. Bunch of people runnin’ around bumpin’ into each other, got a guy up front says, ‘Two plus two,’ and the people in the back say, ‘Four.’ Then the bell rings and they give you a carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can go take a dump or somethin’. I mean, it’s not a place for smart people, Jerry. I know that’s not a popular opinion, but that’s my two cents on the issue.” — Rick
