Rick Sanchez (Rick and Morty)
He is formally referred to as Rick Sanchez C-137 (alias: "Terror Rick") by the Trans-Dimensional Council of Ricks, in reference to his original universe, "C-137", and penchant for instigating wars with inter-galactic empires. Both Rick and Morty are voiced by Roiland. Volume 1 of the "Rick and Morty" comic series follows the Rick and Morty of Dimension C-132 while most issues of subsequent instalments follow the Rick and Morty of "C-137"; the video game "Pocket Mortys" follows the Rick and Morty of C-123.
Rick and Morty
"Rick and Morty" has been described as "a never-ending fart joke wrapped around a studied look into nihilism." The series addresses the insignificance of human existence as compared to the size of the universe, with no recognizable divine presence, as described by Lovecraft's philosophy of cosmicism. The characters of the show deal with cosmic horror and existential dread, either by asserting the utility of science over magic or by choosing a life in ignorant bliss. However, as Joachim Heijndermans of "Geeks" notes, none of them appear able to handle the absurd and chaotic nature of the universe, as Jerry gets by through denial, and Rick is a "depressed, substance addicted, suicidal mess."
