Rick and Morty is an American adult animated television series created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, which premiered in 2013. It revolves around Rick, an eccentric, elderly, alcoholic scientist who takes his young grandson Morty on dangerous, outlandish adventures throughout the cosmos and alternate universes. The following is a list of characters from the Rick and Morty television series.

Contents

Main characters

  • Rick Sanchez (voiced by Justin Roiland) – A genius scientist who is the father of Beth Smith, and the maternal grandfather of Morty. His alcoholic tendencies lead his daughter's family to worry about the safety of their son Morty. The series is often retroscripted for Rick's lines. He displays "diagnosable qualities of various mental illnesses." An extremely intellectual character that views his time as valuable, he disparages the usefulness of many ordinary human conventions such as school, marriage, and even love, though he displays genuine affection towards his grandchildren and daughter throughout the series. His reaction to the mundane requests asked of him by Morty and other family members suggests he considers himself wholly superior to them, though in several instances throughout the series he shows a lonelier side. He frequently 'burp-talks' words in the middle of a sentence while speaking, presumably as a result of his alcoholism. He is identified as Rick Sanchez of Earth Dimension C-137. In "The Wedding Squanchers," Rick alongside Squanchy and Birdperson were revealed to be freedom fighters against the Galactic Federation where they fought their oppression enough for the Galactic Federation to issue warrants for their arrest. In order to guarantee the safety of his family, Rick leaves a tip on where he can be found as he surrenders to the Galactic Federation and is incarcerated in one of their prisons.
  • Mortimer "Morty" Smith, Sr. (voiced by Justin Roiland) – Rick's good-hearted but easily distressed 14-year-old grandson is frequently dragged into Rick's misadventures. He is often reluctant to follow Rick's plans, and he often ends up traumatized by the unorthodox methods Rick uses to 'fix' situations. The Morty of C-137 is referred to as the "Mortiest Morty" by Rick due to his courage, which nearly every other Morty lacks due to their main use being makeshift cloaking devices.
  • Beth Smith (née Sanchez) (voiced by Sarah Chalke) – Rick's daughter, Summer and Morty's mother, and Jerry's wife. She is a cardiac surgeon for horses. Level-headed and assertive, she struggles with her husband's ego, which thrives in defiance of his proven mediocrity. Several episodes have dealt with Beth's deep dissatisfaction with her life, stemming from her belief that she has "settled" in her marriage, family, and job. She wanted to become a "real" surgeon but became pregnant with Summer at 17. She is the most assertive force in her household, while also displaying traits of selfishness, humor, and intelligence. Beth is unperturbed by her father's destructive and dangerous tendencies around her son, due to the fact that she, from childhood, views Rick more favorably than her mother due to their separation. Harmon expanded upon this origin in an interview: "Kids can sometimes idolize their worst parent and blame their supportive parent for chasing off the dad with the guts to leave. [...] She believes that Rick, as crazy as he is, is the better of her two parents even though she was raised by her mother and she blames her mother's unremarkability on her father's departure and will do anything to keep her father back in her life."
  • Jerry Smith (voiced by Chris Parnell) – Morty's insecure father, Beth's husband, and Rick's son-in-law, who strongly disapproves of Rick's influence over Morty. His marriage is sometimes jeopardized by his wife's reactions to his poor relationship with Rick. Jerry worked at a low-level advertising agency until he was fired for incompetence. This left Jerry without a job. The episode '"Mortynight Run' reveals that one of the Ricks, keenly aware that every Jerry is incapable of surviving off of Earth, created a daycare where every Jerry is dropped off by their Rick and Morty during adventures should they attempt to accompany them. By the end of "The Wedding Squanchers" when Earth ends up joining the Galactic Federation, Jerry is given an anti-depressent pill by a passing robot and charged 7,000 credits enough for him to be sent to the Department of Employment.
  • Summer Smith (voiced by Spencer Grammer) – Morty's 17-year-old older sister, a more conventional and often superficial teenager, is obsessed with anything that can improve her status with her peers. Summer is very similar to her mother, as she is often shown to be very smart and humorous, but is much more selfless. She occasionally expresses jealousy that Morty gets to accompany Rick on his inter-dimensional adventures. In the second season, she accompanies Rick and Morty on adventures more frequently and sometimes will even prove herself to be more competent than Morty, especially when emotional nuance is required.
  • Harry Herpson High School staff and students

  • Jessica (voiced by Kari Wahlgren) – Jessica is an attractive girl in Morty's math class. Morty has a crush on her, but she rarely acknowledges him. On the occasions she does, however, she seems to be level headed and kind to him. She attends the dance with him in "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez."
  • Principal Gene Vagina (voiced by Phil Hendrie) – Principal Gene Vagina is the principal of Harry Herpson High School. He often reminds people that despite his humorous last name, he is "very much in charge.", even though he often uses his full name talking about himself.
  • Mr. Goldenfold (voiced by Brandon Johnson) – Mr. Goldenfold is Morty's math teacher. He takes his job very seriously, and is often seen loudly proclaiming the importance of mathematics to his class. He also has a multitude of deeply repressed sexual attractions, and his wife left him which he copes with by going to Jamba Juice.
  • Coach Feratu - The unseen gym teacher of Harry Herpson High School. He is a vampire who kills people at the school in order to feed. He is killed by Summer, Morty, and Tiny Rick offscreen. His real name is Balik Alistane and his vampire superior is later angered that he chose a human alias based on a famous vampire film instead of a normal-sounding one as seen in the post-credits.
  • Brad (voiced by Echo Kellum) – Brad is a student at Harry Herpson High School. He is a jock who plays football for the school and dates Jessica. He does not appear in the second season, so it is assumed that he and Jessica have broken up. This is supported by the fact that Jessica attends the dance with Morty in "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez."
  • Tammy Gueterman (voiced by Cassie Steele) - A student at Harry Herpson High School and a friend of Summer's. She meets Birdperson at Rick's party in "Ricksy Business" and they enter a relationship. Later in the series, it is shown that she has moved in with Birdperson on his planet. The season 2 finale "The Wedding Squanchers" reveals that she was a deep cover Galactic Federation agent out to capture Bird Person, Rick, and their allies. This fact surprised Summer.
  • Ethan (voiced by Daniel Benson) - Summer's boyfriend. Rick uses him to build his new Anatomy Park after the first one explodes. His older brother molested him when he was younger. By the episode, "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez," he and Summer seem to have broken up, as he is not seen or mentioned and Summer expresses interest in another boy.
  • Nancy (voiced by Aislinn Paul) - An unpopular girl at the school whom Summer dislikes and attempts to get rid of during Rick's party in "Ricksy Business." She plays the flute in the school band, and costs Summer her newfound popularity after she tells the other partygoers about Summer's mistreatment of her.
  • Toby Matthews (voiced by Alex Hirsch) - A popular boy at Harry Herpson High School whom Summer has a crush on. He enters a relationship with her thanks to her association with Tiny Rick, but breaks up with her once she gets Tiny Rick expelled in an attempt to save the real Rick's life.
  • Frank Palicky (voiced by Ryan Ridley) - A psychopathic student at Harry Herpson High School whom Summer had a crush on. He acted as a frequent bully to Morty. Frank was frozen by Rick as he threatened to cut Morty with a switchblade. Despite Rick assuring Morty that he'd be fine, he topples over and shatters as Summer walks by.
  • MC Haps (voiced by Dan Harmon) - A student at the school who also happens to be a rapper. He is first seen performing a "flu-hating rap" at the Flu Season Dance during "Rick Potion No. 9," and can later be seen in the background at several other party scenes in the show.
  • Other versions of the main characters

    Different versions of the main characters inhabit other realities and dimensions. Other Ricks are mostly similar to the "main" Rick, though some have unique features which set them apart. Most other Morties seen in the show are far more timid and weak-willed than the main Morty, an exception being "Evil Morty." They are all voiced by the same actors who voice the main versions of them.

  • The Trans-Dimensional Council of Ricks - A parody of the Fantastic Four's Council of Reeds which acts as a governing body of sorts for the various versions of Rick inhabiting different timelines and dimensions. They are often at odds with Rick C-137 due to his refusal to cooperate with them (which he claims makes every Rick on the council less Rick than him), but they are otherwise shown to be on good terms with him, as a few council members were seen at Rick's party in "Ricksy Business."
  • Doofus Rick - The Rick of Dimension J-19 Zeta 7. He is a supposedly less intelligent Rick with bucked teeth and a bowl cut, and allegedly comes from a universe in which everyone consumes their own feces (though, as he denies this, it is unknown whether or not he actually does). As he never fathered a Beth, he had his Morty assigned to him, "Eric Stoltz Mask Morty," from a dimension in which everyone has lionitis. He is much kinder than most other Ricks and befriends Jerry.
  • Evil Rick - A Rick who presumably comes from a dimension in which everyone is evil. He kills other Ricks to download the contents of their brains, and then hacks the portal gun of Rick C-137 (the main Rick) in order to frame him for the crime. He created a database which sorts Ricks from most evil to least evil, and he and Rick C-137 are separated by a single Rick whom Evil Rick describes as being "super weird." He is killed by the various Morties he kidnapped, and is then revealed to have a mind control device implanted in his brain, controlling him remotely.
  • Evil Morty - Evil Rick's Morty. He wears an eyepatch, and does not speak much. He is revealed to have been controlling Evil Rick, and escapes among the thousands of other Morties freed from captivity.
  • Cronenberg Rick and Morty - The Rick and Morty from "Cronenberg World," a dimension in which everyone is a grotesque mass of flesh combined with various animal parts (a reference to David Cronenberg's association with the body horror genre). They migrate to the show's original universe, whose entire population the original Rick turned into other "Cronenbergs," after Cronenberg Rick accidentally turned the inhabitants of Cronenberg World into regular humans.
  • Tiny Rick - A younger clone of Rick with Rick's consciousness in it. He becomes a student at Harry Herpson High School to help Summer and Morty deal with a vampire, but later decides to stay. He becomes the most popular student at the school. His teenage hormones alter his personality, though the real Rick still communicates through Tiny Rick's artistic endeavors, calling out to Morty and Summer to help him. They eventually manage to subdue Tiny Rick and put Rick's consciousness back in his body, after which he destroys his clone bodies.
  • Alternate Beth and Jerry - Alternate versions of Beth and Jerry from Dimension C-500A in which Beth aborted Summer. They are both widely successful with Jerry being a famous Hollywood actor while Beth is a renowned surgeon for humans rather than horses. Jerry is depicted as the best friend of Johnny Depp and engaging in sex with Kristen Stewart. Despite their successes however, both are shown to be deeply unhappy and unfulfilled personally. After Jerry has a breakdown and leads the police on a car chase, he travels to Beth's house and confesses that he loves her and regrets that she got the abortion; the two then embrace and seemingly decide to start anew together. This is seen on one of the channels that Rick and Morty watched.
  • Associates of Rick

  • Mr. Meeseeks (voiced by Justin Roiland) - A race of blue humanoid creatures who all share the same name and personality. They are created from a small metal box, and disappear after fulfilling a single task. Though Rick says to keep their instructions simple, Meeseeks are capable of completing surprisingly complex tasks, like making Summer popular at school, and helping Beth to become "a more complete woman," though they are unable to take two strokes off of Jerry's golf game. Existing is painful to a Meeseeks, and they attempt to complete their task as soon as possible so that they can disappear. If they go too long without doing so, they will become insane and murderous while going to great lengths to achieve their goal.
  • Scary Terry (voiced by Jess Harnell) - A murderous entity who resides in the dream world. He is a parody of Freddy Krueger and has miniature swords on his fingers instead of knives. He initially tries to kill Rick and Morty, but later befriends them after they help him with his own dream problems. He is very fond of the word "bitch," and injects it into almost every sentence. It is revealed that killing is simply an occupation for him, and that when he is not working he is a fairly pleasant individual with a similarly "Scary" wife and son.
  • Dr. Xenon Bloom (voiced by John Oliver) - A sentient amoeba who co-founded Anatomy Park along with Rick. He is killed when the diseases of the park escape from captivity and overrun the park.
  • Birdperson (voiced by Dan Harmon) - A superhero-like being who is Rick's best friend. He holds a deep respect for Rick, and often offers Morty insight when Morty considers doing something that would jeopardize his and Rick's relationship. He was at one point in a band with Rick and Squanchy. Birdperson, Rick, and Squanchy were once freedom fighters against the Galactic Federation's oppression; their "crimes" led the Galactic Federation to issue warrants for their arrests. Birdperson marries Tammy in the season 2 finale, but is killed by her after it is revealed that she is an undercover agent of the Galactic Federation sent to capture Rick and his associates. Birdperson's appearance is based on the character Hawk from 1970s series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
  • Revolio "Gearhead" Clockberg, Jr. (voiced by Scott Chernoff) - A robotic-looking "gearperson". He is well-versed in an event that occurred on his home planet called the "Gear Wars" and can play an instrument similar to a lute. Despite being one of Rick's friends, Rick doesn't even know his real name, preferring to call him "Gearhead," a racial epithet. Rick and Morty hide out at his house while fugitives for freeing Fart, and Gearhead betrays Rick by calling the police. Because of this, Rick beats him up and replaces his mouth gears with his "gearsticles." He has a somewhat effeminate voice, and a magazine entitled "Queer Gear" can be seen in his home, hinting that he is a gear-mosexual.
  • Squanchy (voiced by Tom Kenny) - A disheveled catlike creature who replaces various words in his sentences with the word "squanch." He is one of Rick's best friends, possessing a bracelet inscribed with "Rick's BFF." Squanchy, Birdperson, and Rick were once freedom fighters against the Galactic Federation's oppression; their "crimes" led the Galactic Federation to issue warrants for their arrests. Morty and Jessica catch him engaging in autoerotic asphyxiation in a closet in the garage. He was at one point in a band with Rick and Birdperson. When the Galactic Federation infiltrates Birdperson's wedding in the season 2 finale episode "The Wedding Squanchers," he reveals that one of his teeth contains a liquid which transforms him into a hulking behemoth. Justin Roiland combined his name with the company Nintendo for form the Virtual Reality studio, "Squanchtendo".
  • Abradolf Lincler (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) - A being created by Rick. He has the DNA of both Abraham Lincoln and Adolf Hitler, which was intended to make him "the world's first neutral super leader." Instead, it renders him with conflicting emotions that he is unable to deal with. He initially seeks to be accepted as a son by his "father" Rick. After Rick tries to get him killed in an alien environment, he swears revenge on him only to be picked up by the Testicle Monsters to be used as a sex toy in their weird orgy.
  • Krombopulos Michael (voiced by Andy Daly) - A cheerful and friendly Gromflomite assassin who often purchases weapons from Rick. He is accidentally killed by Morty as the latter clumsily pilots Rick's ship into the building that Michael's target is imprisoned in.
  • Unity (voiced by various; main body voiced by Christina Hendricks) - A hive mind whom Rick had previously dated, as they are two of the small handful of sentient beings capable of fully comprehending the scope of the universe. To spread to others, the her hosts vomit a green liquid into the others' mouths which quickly incorporates them. She and Rick get back together, but Unity soon realizes that the self-destructive behavior they indulge in when they are together is bad for both of them, leading to her ending their relationship again. A distraught Rick attempts suicide, but fails.
  • Blim Blam the Klorblok (voiced by John Kassir) - A murderer who eats babies and apparently traveled to Earth to do so. He was eventually captured and chained up by Rick in an attempt to cure Blim Blam's "space AIDS" in order to become rich selling the cure. He was discovered by Beth and Jerry, however, the two's bickering annoyed Blim Blam to the point that he broke free, berated the two by using a translation device Rick had (as he could only speak in alien beforehand), then left promising never to return to earth.
  • Mr. Poopybutthole (voiced by Justin Roiland) - A longtime family friend. He is a parody of wacky side characters on television shows. Although he shows up at the same time as a group of Alien Parasites who take the forms of similarly zany characters, Mr. Poopybutthole himself is real. He is severely injured by Beth after she mistakes him for an Alien Parasite and shoots him. By the post-credits, Mr. Poopybutthole survives the wound and is undergoing physical therapy. While the nurse states that he doesn't want any visitors right now due to the stress of his rehabilitation, she does forward Mr. Poopybutthole's apology to them about nobody having bad memories of him. Mr. Poopybutthole is seen again in the post-credits of "The Wedding Squanchers" watching the episode while still recovering from his wound. After getting his pizza delivered, he implores the viewers to tune in a year to 18 months from now in order to see how the cliffhanger is resolved in Season 3.
  • Arthricia (voiced by Chelsea Kane) - A young alien girl who resembles an anthropomorphic cat person. She resides on a planet with an Amish style culture whose residents engage in an annual "purge." She first injures Rick and steals his ship in order to use it to kill the rich people of her planet and stop the purge. She is unable to fly it properly, so Rick gives her a robot suit and helps her kill the rich people after Morty gets too carried away with killing people and has to be subdued. Morty later asks her out, but she declines and claims that she already has a boyfriend.
  • Characters seen on inter-dimensional cable

    The following characters are seen when Rick and Morty watch the inter-dimensional cable in the episodes "Rixty Minutes" and "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate":

  • Alternate David Letterman (voiced by Jeff Bergman) - A version of David Letterman from Dimension C-500A who interviews that dimension's Jerry Smith who talks about Cloud Atlas.
  • Ants-In-My-Eyes Johnson (voiced by Justin Roiland) - A man with ants crawling inside his eyes who owns a store. He is completely blind because of this and has no sensation of touch either.

  • Piece of Toast - A sentient piece of toast.
  • Two Guys with Handlebar Mustaches - A basketball player and a Buddhist that sport handlebar mustaches.
  • A Man Painted Silver that Makes Robot Noises - This character is a parody of Chris Parnell's SNL character Kevin Aquarius.
  • Garmanarnar - An insectoid.
  • Three Unknown Things - A trio of yellow unspecified creatures with a name so hard to pronounce the announcer just says "I'll get back to that one."
  • A Hole in the Wall Where the Men Can See All - A sentient hole in the wall.
  • Alternate Bobby Moynihan - This version of Bobby Moynihan has been on Saturday Night Live for 25 years. Rick comments to Morty that Bobby Moynihan and Piece of Toast hate each other due to some "creative differences."
  • Real Fake Doors salesman (voiced by Justin Roiland) - A man who sells doors which are incapable of opening.
  • Gazorpazorpfield and Jon (voiced by Justin Roiland and Tom Kenny respectively) - Characters from the Gazorpian TV show Gazorpazorpfield, a parody of Garfield. Gazorpazorpfield, being a male Gazorpian, is extremely aggressive by nature and is shown verbally abusing his owner, Jon. Rick states that Gazorpazorpfield is voiced by Lorenzo Music (the person who voiced Garfield in real life until his death) who is still alive in the universe in which Gazorpazorpfield airs while also claiming that Bill Murray voiced him in the movie.
  • Tophat Jones (voiced by Justin Roiland) - A parody of Lucky the Leprechaun, the mascot of Lucky Charms with ears similar to the Trix Rabbit. Tophat Jones is the mascot for "Strawberry Smiggles." He is shown eating a bowl of them and feeling content at the fact that since he has done so, no one else will be able to have any. He is then brutally eviscerated by two children who eat the cereal from his stomach.
  • Baby Legs and Regular Legs (voiced by Justin Roiland and Rob Paulsen respectively) - A buddy cop duo consisting of a man with legs the size of an infant's and another man who appears to be physically normal. Baby Legs attempts to prove that he is not inhibited by his small legs, but fails to catch a criminal. The criminal is promptly subdued by Regular Legs and Baby Legs learns to accept the fact that he needs a regular-legged partner.
  • Mrs. Sullivan - A cat lady that is featured in the trailer for "Last Will and Testimeow: Weekend at Dead Cat Lady's House II" which was written and directed by the Jerry Smith of Dimension C-500A. After she dies, her cats control her body like a puppet to make it look like that she is still alive and can remain on the estate.
  • The Eyeholes Man (voiced by Justin Roiland) - The mascot of "Eyeholes" cereal as seen in "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate." He is a blue-skinned alien in a superhero costume who beats up anyone who attempts to eat his cereal as seen in a commercial where two eyeless lovers were attacked by him for wearing Eyeholes on their face. Rick advises Morty not to get caught with a box of Eyeholes or else the Eyeholes Man will crash through a window and beat him up. In the post-credits, the Eyeholes Man beats up Jerry upon catching him with a box of Eyeholes.
  • Jan Michael Vincent - A real-life American actor who, in-universe, stars in a film called Jan Quadrant Vincent 16.
  • Steally (voiced by Justin Roiland) - A creature of the same race as Mr. Poopybutthole, but has long arms. He stars in his own television show in which he engages in kleptomania (and sometimes even kidnapping) and then assesses the worth of what he stole. He measures the worth of his loot in "rapples," which appear to be hybrids of roosters and apples.
  • Little Dipper - A Tinymouth who advertised the restaurant Lil' Bits which serves tiny-sized food for people with tiny mouths.
  • Michael and Pichael Thompson (both voiced by Justin Roiland) - Conjoined twins who each have their own television shows. Michael is a news anchor while Pichael hosts a cooking show. They have a great amount of resentment towards one another, and the fact that they both tape their shows at the same time leads to difficulties and on-set fights between the two.
  • Octopus Man - A marine biologist who was bitten by an octopus causing half of his left arm and torso become octopus-like. He rides in a car with a scar-faced man and goes to save people by attacking random people that might cause some trouble.
  • Phillip Jacobs - Host of Personal Space Show. Really cares about his personal space.
  • Alien races

  • The Zigerions - A race of unintelligent alien scammers who routinely abduct Rick and place him into virtual simulations in an attempt to get the recipe for concentrated dark matter from him. They are very uncomfortable with nudity, though they did manage to create a very realistic Morty, complete with genitalia. Having known from the beginning that he was in a double-layered simulation and tired of dealing with the Zigerions, Rick gives them a fake recipe for concentrated dark matter which causes their ship to explode.
  • Prince Nebulon (voiced by David Cross) - The Prince of the Zigerions. The Zigerions being uncomfortable with nudity is a reference to Cross' character on Arrested Development having a similar issue.
  • Kevin (voiced by Dan Harmon) - A nerdy-looking Zigerion who was made to spy on Morty while he was nude in order to create an accurate representation of his genitals for their simulation.
  • The Plutonians - Citizens of the celestial dwarf planet Pluto. Nearly all Plutonians do not want to believe that their home is no longer a planet. Their first notable appearance is in "Something Ricked This Way Comes." The Plutonians later appear multiple times in "M. Night Shaym-Aliens!", presumably as test subjects for the Zigerion simulations.
  • King Flippy Nips (voiced by Rich Fulcher) - The King of the Plutonians.
  • Scroopy Noopers (voiced by Nolan North) - A Plutonian scientist and outcast who is later revealed to be King Flippy Nips's son.
  • Unity's Hosts - An unnamed race of blue-skinned humanoid aliens whose minds Unity has taken over and assimilated into her collective conscience. As Unity's control over them begins to weaken due to Rick's influence, they begin a race war amongst themselves due to having differently shaped nipples.
  • Alien Parasites - The Alien Parasites can take the forms of wacky side characters and insert themselves into peoples' memories to convince them that they've always known them, parodying old sitcoms and their tendency to shoehorn in new characters to boost failing ratings. They multiply very quickly and must be contained to prevent them from taking over and/or destroying the world. Their only weakness is that they can't create negative memories, since they feed on the chemicals the brain produces from positive feelings. The Smith Family take advantage of this and slay all the Alien Parasites.
  • Amish Cyborg - An (ironically-themed) Amish cyborg, unlike the other parasites, it seems that at least part of his guise (the cybernetic implants) were an actual part of his body
  • Baby Wizard - An infant wizard who supposedly hooked up the Duck with Muscles with his future wife.
  • Bigfoot
  • Cleopatra
  • Cousin Nicky (voiced by Ryan Ridley) - A supposed relative of the Smith family from Brooklyn. He is an embodiment of various New Yorker stereotypes and his catchphrase is "I'm walkin' here!" (a line used by Dustin Hoffman's character Enrico Rizzo in "Midnight Cowboy").
  • Duck with Muscles - An unnamed rubber duck with muscular arms. Baby Wizard was said to have hooked Duck with Muscles up with a woman that would eventually become his wife.
  • Elvis Impersonator - An Alien Parasite in the form an Elvis Presley impersonator.
  • Frankenstein's Monster (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) - A variation of the monster from Frankenstein who is a member of the Smith family. He is said to be a veteran of the Vietnam War, having served with Rick.
  • Ghost in a Jar - A tiny green ghost that resides in a jar. Rick states that he is good at explaining obscure jokes for people that do not get them. It was mentioned that his life was saved by Reverse Giraffe in Vietnam. His jar is actually the lower half of his body.
  • Hamurai (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) - A samurai that wears armor made of ham, steaks, sausages, and bacon strips. It was mentioned that he went to college with Reverse Giraffe.
  • Mr. Beauregard (voiced by Tony Barbieri) - The Smith family's butler. In one flashback he dresses up as Morty's date to the prom and fights Hitler in another.
  • Mrs. Refrigerator (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) - A female anthropomorphic refrigerator. She is one of the first parasites who is found out by the family, and attempts to pass a roller coaster ride off as a negative memory in a state of panic, only to try and run once Beth points out the flaw in her statement.
  • Pencilvestyr (voiced by Tom Kenny) - An anthropomorphic pencil. Rick takes a liking to this particular parasite and instructs Morty to kill him as he is unable to bring himself to do it.
  • Photography Raptor - A Velociraptor that is constantly taking pictures and can't communicate verbally.
  • Reverse Giraffe (voiced by Keith David) - An eloquent-speaking giraffe with a short neck, stubby legs, and a long body. He stated that he went to college with Hamurai, saved Ghost in a Jar's life in Vietnam, and had been a shoulder for Beth to cry on.
  • Sleepy Gary (voiced by Matt Walsh) - A tired man in pajamas and a nightcap who is portrayed as Beth's husband and Jerry's best friend/secret lover who Gary yearns to leave Beth for.
  • Tinkles (voiced by Tara Strong) - A magical flying ballerina lamb with a rainbow unicorn horn who is Summer's imaginary friend. She is stated to live in "Never-Past-Bedtime Land" with numerous similar creatures like a bear parka-wearing bird, a butterfly/sunflower hybrid, a Chowder look-a-like, a cloud yeti, an Easter Bunny/Monkey hybrid, a headphones-wearing dragon, a hoodie-wearing slug, a sunglasses-wearing strawberry, a sweatband-wearing star, and a winter-wear turtle.
  • Uncle Steve (voiced by Tony Barbieri) - The supposed older brother of Jerry.
  • William Shakespeare
  • Unnamed Characters - The forms of the alien parasites that were unnamed. These forms consist of an Astronaut, a Bearded Lady, a British Guard, a Burglar, a Caveman, a Chef, a Flamingo, a Fruit Hat Girl, a Giant Robot, a Girl Robot, a Girl Scout, a Gnome, a Harlem Globetrotter, a humanoid bear with kidneys that would be compatible to Beth's, a humanoid catfish, a humanoid fox, a humanoid sun, a humanoid unicorn, a Japanese businessman, a Lucky Cat, a Mexican Man, a Mr. Peanut look-a-like, a mushroom head, a nun, a party hat-wearing snake, a pink balloon animal, a rooster, a Scottish "Braveheart" warrior, a sea captain in rain gear, a small cowboy riding a dog, a snorkel kid, a space monkey, and a trashcan-wearing creature.
  • The Cromulons (voiced by Justin Roiland) - A race of planet-sized heads (who, for some reason, all look like bald versions of Rick's head) who "feed off the talent and showmanship of less-evolved lifeforms." They transport planets to the expanse of the universe they inhabit and make the residents perform on a talent competition show that they run called Planet Music, with planets that lose or get disqualified being disintegrated by a massive laser cannon. When Rick and Morty win the competition, the Cromulons declare their song the best they've ever heard and decide to end their show after 988 seasons. The general population, meanwhile, mistakes them for gods and begins to worship them as such.
  • Others

  • Mr. Lucius Needful (voiced by Alfred Molina) - A mysterious man who owns an antique store. The items he sells are all cursed, and subject the buyer to an ironic punishment. He is quickly revealed by Rick to be the devil, a fact which he doesn't bother to conceal afterward. He is a parody of Leland Gaunt from Stephen King's novel, Needful Things. Rick starts a rival business uncursing his merchandise, which hurts his business and causes him to attempt suicide. Summer helps him retool his shop into an online store, and then he double-crosses her. Rick and Summer then take steroids in order to bulk up, then beat him up as revenge for him "Zuckerberging" Summer.
  • Snuffles/Snowball (voiced by Rob Paulsen) - Snuffles was the Smith family dog. Fed up with the dog's lack of intelligence, Jerry asked Rick to create a device which would amplify it. This caused Snuffles to realize that dogs are being oppressed and create robot suits for himself and other dogs to take over the world, demanding to be referred to as Snowball because his "fur is pretty and white." Since Morty was kind to him, he keeps Morty as his own pet and pampers him, exhibiting the same kind of "pet parent" behavior that his species rebelled against humanity for. Rick tricks him into thinking that Morty is dying of a fatal kidney disease, so Snuffles spares no expense attempting to cure Morty. After realizing that he and the other dogs became what they hated by enslaving humanity, they become remorseful and travel to a new dimension to live in peace.
  • Morty Jr. (voiced by Finnegan Perry as a baby, Will Jennings as a child, Richard Christy as a teenager, and Maurice LaMarche as an adult) - Morty's half-Gazorpian son. He was conceived by Morty's extensive use of a sex robot from the planet Gazorpazorp. Due to his Gazorpian heritage, Morty Jr. is extremely prone to violence, something Morty tries hard to discourage. By the end of the episode, he learns to channel his violent urges into writing and releases a book entitled "My Horrible Father" about Morty. Because Gazorpians age much faster than humans, it is unknown if Morty Jr. is still alive.
  • King Jellybean (voiced by Tom Kenny) - An anthropomorphic jellybean who rules a poor village. He attempts to molest Morty in a public bathroom, but is beaten up by him instead. He is killed by Rick, and is posthumously revealed to have a collection of compromising photographs, which is destroyed to preserve what he represented to the people.
  • Fart (voiced by Jemaine Clement) - A gaseous being with the ability to read minds and alter matter. His species has no need for names, but he calls himself "Fart" after Rick refers to him as one. At Morty's insistence, he and Rick assist Fart in getting back home, but Fart is killed by Morty after it is revealed that his species sees carbon-based lifeforms as a disease and plans to wipe them out. His character is inspired by the personality and works of David Bowie.
  • Beta VII (voiced by Patton Oswalt) - Another hive mind who resembles the Borg from Star Trek: The Next Generation. They are an associate of Unity who appear to harbor a crush on them. They are a reference to the stereotype of the "beta male" and the implication is that they have been "friend zoned" by Unity.
  • Ice-T (voiced by Dan Harmon) - A famous American rapper who is tasked with helping Rick and Morty to write a song. Though he initially appears to be human, he is revealed to be a member of the Alphabetarians, aliens whose bodies are composed of an elemental material and shaped like a letter of the alphabet. He was originally known as Water-T, but was frozen as punishment for his apathetic outlook on life. Rick inspires him to care about things, and he saves the earth by using his body to deflect the Cromulons' laser. As a reward for his altruistic deed, he is welcomed back by his home planet and returned to his true form. When the Numbericons attack which resulted in the death of his father Magma-Q, Ice-T leads the Alphabetarians into battle against the Numbericons.
  • Zeep Xanflorp (voiced by Stephen Colbert) - A scientist within Rick's Microverse Battery who creates his own micro-planet power supply called the Miniverse. His development of a new power supply prevents Rick from using his flying car. Zeep is depicted as arrogant and very intelligent, and in many ways a parallel of Rick.
  • Shrimply Pibbles - An intergalactic civil rights leader described as "the most important man in the universe." He is supposed to receive Jerry's penis in a heart transplant after it is found that his penis can be fashioned into a new heart, but Jerry attempts to weasel out of it. Pibbles gets a state-of-the-art artificial heart instead.
  • Other humans

  • Davin (voiced by Dan Harmon) – Beth's extremely handsome co-worker at the horse hospital. Jerry dislikes him intensely, as he sees him as a threat to his and Beth's sometimes shaky marriage.
  • Leonard and Joyce Smith (voiced by Dana Carvey and Patricia Lentz) - Jerry's parents. They have a cuckold relationship with Jacob. Leonard enjoys watching him and Joyce have sex while hiding in their bedroom closet, often while dressed as Superman.
  • Jacob (voiced by Echo Kellum) - Joyce's lover. He appears to be a pleasant and friendly individual, though Jerry is uncomfortable with his relationship to his parents.
  • Ruben (voiced by Jess Harnell) - A homeless man whose body contains "Anatomy Park," Rick's human body themed amusement park. He dies of tuberculosis with the miniaturized Anatomy Park crew, as well as Morty, still inside of him. In order to help them escape, Rick grows Ruben's body to giant size and then blows it up.
  • Annie (voiced by Jackie Buscarino) - An employee at Anatomy Park who works at a churro stand. She and Morty are the only survivors of the disease outbreak in the park. She initially ignores Morty but is later seen making out with him while the two of them watch a movie. At the end of the episode, Rick shrinks her down to lead the construction of a new Anatomy Park after she tells him that she studied all of Dr. Bloom's notes. Though Morty is upset with Rick, Rick tells Morty that he dodged a bullet, as Annie has a condition called "puffy vagina."
  • Poncho (voiced by Gary Anthony Williams) - Dr. Bloom's bodyguard, who is responsible for the disease outbreak in Anatomy Park. He betrays Bloom as revenge for the horrible employee benefits he received, and is killed when the bubonic plague virus he is carrying turns on him and causes him to fall off of a high balcony.
  • Lucy (voiced by Alejandra Gollas) - A maid employed on the Titanic 2, an attraction inspired by the film Titanic. She initially comes across as a nice lady, but reveals her true colors when she forces Jerry at gunpoint to draw her nude and have sex with her in a car (both references to scenes from the Titanic film). Before the sex actually takes place, Jerry is rescued by Beth, who knocks Lucy unconscious. She later attempts to follow Beth and Jerry home by clinging to the underside of their car (as in Cape Fear), but is knocked off and run over by another vehicle. It is unknown if she survived.
  • The President (voiced by Keith David) - The unnamed President of the United States who, while very professional and diplomatic while on the job, is quite jovial and friendly. His appearance is most likely based on that of the 44th President, Barack Obama.
  • Nathan (voiced by Kurtwood Smith) - A general in the United States Army who does not like the idea that Rick has been tasked with dealing with the Cromulons, preferring instead to launch nuclear missiles at them. He betrays the President and tries to kill him, but is vaporized by Rick before he can.
  • Taddy Mason (voiced by Justin Roiland) - A man who runs a hotline service in which lonely people can call him and have conversations, allowing them to pretend to have a friend. Since becoming unemployed, Jerry has been a frequent caller to Mason, having wracked up an excessively high phone bill which he attempts to manipulate Summer into helping him pay off. It is unknown if Taddy Mason is from an alternate universe or not.
