"Rick And Morty," the cult favorite TV show, seems tailor-made to generate memes. The jokes come fast, as do the sight gags. It's foul, clever, and though set within a typical family living in a typical suburb, every episode is an adventure, chock full of science and big ideas, clever creatures and mind-bending brain teasers. Oh, and toilet humor.

What Do 'Rick And Morty' Memes Mean

Rick, the alcoholic, super-genius grandfather, and Morty, his geeky grandson who just wants everyone to get along, find themselves each week hurtling through space and sometimes time in a mad dash to nourish their soul and just maybe save the universe. The memes celebrate the show's droll, daring, and drunkenness.

How Are 'Rick And Morty' Memes Used

Memes are designed to be spread as fast and far–as virally–as possible. Rick and Morty memes, however, are unique in that many are deliberately crafted to be shared only amongst the hardcore fans. We chose our 10 favorite–for everyone to enjoy. Did yours make the list?

'Get Schwifty'

Who you gonna call? Rick! How's he gonna save Earth? Get Schwifty! It's an inter-galactic planetary version of American Idol, and if the giant aliens don't like your music, everyone's dead. The "get schwifty" meme went viral so fast that it leaped off the internet and onto t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, and posters. It's probably about to get meme'd itself.

'Pickle Rick'

Rick turned himself into a pickle to get out of going to family therapy. Then it got weird. Pickle Rick memes are a thing now.

Even Rick's most clever creations, like the Meeseeks, which exist only to fulfill a single task then immediately die, somehow mutate the mundane into the weird. The Meeseeks memes embrace this.

'Twenty Minute Adventures'

Rick tempts Morty with the promise of a harmless twenty-minute adventure. What could go wrong? Fans know: everything. This particular meme celebrates that tantalizing idea, spanning the political to the bawdy, often both.

'To Be Fair'

Many Rick and Morty memes are crafted by fans all too happy to tell you that if you don't like the show, you're just not smart enough to get its humor. No doubt, this will launch its own meme backlash. Oh, wait. This is the internet. It already has.

'All Your Memes Are Belong To Us'

All Rick did was make a device to raise the intelligence of the family's puppy. Now, all of humanity is about to be ruled by Snowball, and he has lots of questions and plenty of demands. The memes pick Snowball over humanity.

'Wubba Lubba Dub Dub'

Wubba lubba dub dub! What's it mean? When your crazy, drunk, mad-genius grandfather has guests over, it means whatever you want. Unless you're birdperson. Then it means "I am in great pain, please help me." Wubba lubba dub dub memes reflect this cold, existential duality.

'Drink The Pain Away'

Time travel, interstellar mayhem, and being smarter than anyone else across any universe is apparently an emotional burden. Drunken Rick memes are everywhere.

'I Need That Sauce'

Think the special sauce that makes Rick and Morty function is nihilism? Wrong! It's that special Szechuan McNugget sauce from McDonald's that Rick loves so much.

'Science The S**t Out Of The Galaxy'

At the heart of the chaotic and knowing Rick and Morty world is science, and science can be applied to everything, especially memes.
