Justin Roiland voiced both Rick and Morty for six seasons, which means every conversation between grandfather and grandson was essentially one man arguing with himself in two different pitches. That’s the kind of detail that sounds like trivia but is actually the DNA of the show. And it’s the kind of thing that separates people who’ve watched Rick and Morty from people who’ve really watched it.
I’ve run Rick and Morty trivia rounds in rooms full of people who think they know this show inside out. They can quote “Pickle Rick” and name every member of the Vindicators. But ask them something specific about the mythology, or about a background detail that played for half a second, and you watch the confidence drain. That’s where this set of rick and morty trivia lives. Some of these are layups. Some will start fights. A few will make you want to rewatch an episode the second you read the answer.
Let’s go.
The Stuff You Think You Know
1. What is the name of the high school Morty attends?
This is one of those questions that makes people realize they’ve seen the building a hundred times and never once registered the name on it.
Show Answer
Harry Herpson High School
2. What color is the portal fluid that Rick’s portal gun produces?
Everyone pictures it instantly. But I’ve had people in rooms say blue with total conviction, because they’re confusing it with something else in their head. The brain does weird things under pressure.
Show Answer
Green. Common wrong answer: blue. People sometimes blend it with other sci-fi portals or with Rick’s flask.
3. What is Rick’s catchphrase?
The freebie. If you miss this one, you wandered into the wrong quiz.
Show Answer
“Wubba lubba dub dub!”
4. What does “Wubba lubba dub dub” actually mean in Birdperson’s language?
And here’s where the freebie turns. This is one of the show’s earliest gut-punches, hidden inside what sounds like a party catchphrase.
Show Answer
“I am in great pain, please help me.”
5. What is the name of Rick and Morty’s home dimension, as designated by the show?
This one gets complicated in later seasons, but for the original designation, most fans lock in quickly. The trick is whether they’re thinking of the dimension they started in or the one they moved to.
Show Answer
Dimension C-137. Though technically, after the Cronenberg incident, they relocate to a different dimension. C-137 is Rick’s self-identified home dimension.
6. What is the name of the family dog who becomes hyper-intelligent in the Season 1 episode “Lawnmower Dog”?
Show Answer
Snuffles (who later renames himself Snowball)
7. What is the name of the alien parasite episode where characters can only create positive memories?
One of the most structurally inventive episodes of the whole series. I’ve seen entire tables argue about whether it’s Season 1 or Season 2. It’s the kind of episode that made people take the show seriously.
Show Answer
“Total Rickall” (Season 2, Episode 4)
8. What animated short film was Rick and Morty originally based on?
If you know this, you probably saw it on Channel 101 before the show existed. If you don’t, it’ll reframe every interaction between the two characters.
Show Answer
“The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti” , a crude parody of Back to the Future created by Justin Roiland.
9. What is the name of the intergalactic fast food restaurant where Rick takes Morty in the pilot?
The first real signal that this show was going to be something different. Rick casually interdimensional-travels for chicken nuggets.
Show Answer
It’s not a named restaurant in the pilot. Rick takes Morty through a portal to get Mega Tree seeds. The McDonald’s Szechuan sauce obsession comes later. If you said “Blips and Chitz,” that’s the arcade, not a restaurant. Common wrong answer: Blips and Chitz.
10. What is Morty’s sister’s name?
Deeper Than You’d Expect
11. What is the name of the butter-passing robot Rick builds at the breakfast table?
It doesn’t have a proper name, and that’s the point. But people always want to give it one. The question is really: what does the robot say after Rick tells it its purpose?
Show Answer
The robot has no official name. After being told “You pass butter,” it looks at its hands and says “Oh my God.” Rick responds: “Yeah, welcome to the club, pal.”
12. What is the name of the miniature civilization that lives inside a battery powering Rick’s car?
Show Answer
The Miniverse (created by Rick). Within it, Zeep Xanflorp creates the Teenyverse.
13. In “Pickle Rick,” what is the name of the therapist Rick’s family sees?
She delivers one of the most quietly devastating monologues in the whole series. People remember the pickle. They forget the person who actually mattered in that episode.
Show Answer
Dr. Wong, voiced by Susan Sarandon.
14. What is the name of Birdperson’s wife, who is revealed to be a deep-cover agent of the Galactic Federation?
Show Answer
Tammy Gueterman. She was Summer’s friend from high school before the betrayal at Birdperson’s wedding.
15. What does Rick turn himself into to avoid family therapy?
The most memed moment in the show’s history. The answer is obvious. But I include it because in a room, it’s a palate cleanser. Everyone needs a win.
16. What is the name of the interdimensional cable TV episode in Season 1?
Show Answer
“Rixty Minutes” (Season 1, Episode 8)
17. In “Rixty Minutes,” what does Beth discover about her life in alternate dimensions while watching interdimensional TV?
This is the B-plot that hits harder than the A-plot. The improv comedy is hilarious, but then the show quietly guts you with the family storyline.
Show Answer
Beth discovers that in most alternate dimensions where she didn’t have Summer (i.e., wasn’t a teen mom), she’s more successful and happier. This leads to Summer nearly running away from home.
18. What is the name of the game show hosted by aliens in “M. Night Shaym-Aliens!”?
Trick question territory. There’s no game show in that episode. The Zigerions are running a simulation to steal Rick’s portal gun formula. People confuse this with other episodes constantly.
Show Answer
There is no game show. The episode involves the Zigerions trapping Rick and Jerry in layered simulations. If you said anything about a game show, you might be thinking of “Interdimensional Cable” segments or another episode entirely.
19. What McDonald’s dipping sauce did Rick become obsessed with, referencing a real discontinued product?
This one crossed over from the show into reality in a way nobody expected. McDonald’s actually brought it back because of the fan demand, and it went about as well as you’d expect.
Show Answer
Szechuan sauce, originally a promotional tie-in for the 1998 Disney film Mulan.
20. What is the Council of Ricks?
Show Answer
A governing body made up of Ricks from various dimensions who banded together for mutual protection. Our Rick (C-137) refuses to join, calling it ironic that the smartest man in the universe would form a bureaucracy.
The Part Where Confidence Gets Dangerous
21. What is the name of the amusement park inside a living body?
Show Answer
Anatomy Park (a parody of Jurassic Park, set inside a homeless man named Ruben).
22. What is Mr. Meeseeks’ sole purpose?
The concept is simple. The execution is horrifying. That gap is the whole joke.
Show Answer
To fulfill a single request and then cease to exist. Existence is pain to a Meeseeks.
23. What task does Jerry ask a Mr. Meeseeks to help him with, leading to catastrophic results?
Show Answer
Taking two strokes off his golf game.
24. What is the name of the galactic prison where Rick is incarcerated in the Season 2 finale?
Show Answer
It’s not given a specific name in Season 2. Rick turns himself in to the Galactic Federation and is held in a Federation prison. Some fans refer to it informally, but the show doesn’t name the facility. Common wrong answer: “The Citadel” , that’s where the Council of Ricks operates, not a prison.
25. What song plays during the Season 2 finale as Rick turns himself in?
If you know, you felt it. One of the most emotionally effective music choices in any animated show. The room always goes quiet when I read this question, because people are already hearing it in their heads.
Show Answer
“Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails (the original, not the Johnny Cash cover).
26. What is the name of the purge planet episode, and what movie is it parodying?
Show Answer
“Look Who’s Purging Now” (Season 2, Episode 9), parodying The Purge.
27. Who voices the character of Mr. Poopybutthole?
People always assume it’s Justin Roiland because it sounds like one of his improvised characters. They’re right.
Show Answer
Justin Roiland (through Season 6). After Roiland’s departure, the character continues in the show.
28. In the episode “Total Rickall,” how do the characters ultimately determine who is real and who is a parasite?
Show Answer
They realize the parasites can only implant positive/happy memories. Real people have bad memories too. So if you can remember a negative experience with someone, they’re real.
29. What is Evil Morty’s ultimate goal, as revealed in the Season 5 finale?
This payoff was years in the making. Multiple seasons of setup for one of the most satisfying villain reveals in modern animation.
Show Answer
To escape the Central Finite Curve , the subset of infinite realities where Rick is the smartest being in the universe. Evil Morty wants to reach dimensions where Rick isn’t the dominant force.
30. What is the name of the episode where Rick and Morty “Cronenberg” their entire dimension?
Show Answer
“Rick Potion #9” (Season 1, Episode 6). They accidentally turn all of humanity into Cronenberg-like mutants and simply abandon that dimension for a new one where the problem was already solved.
The Ones That Start Arguments
31. What network does Rick and Morty air on?
Show Answer
Adult Swim (a programming block on Cartoon Network/TNT).
32. What is the name of Beth’s husband?
I include this one because in a room, someone always overthinks it. “Is it Jerry? Wait, is this a trick?” It’s not a trick. Sometimes the anxiety is the entertainment.
33. What is Jerry’s most notable personality trait, according to basically every other character on the show?
Show Answer
His pathetic insecurity and mediocrity. He’s consistently portrayed as incompetent and needy, which is both his weakness and, oddly, occasionally his survival advantage.
34. What type of doctor is Beth?
This is one of the best trick questions in any Rick and Morty trivia set. People say “doctor” or “surgeon” and feel great about it. Then they hear the full answer.
Show Answer
A horse surgeon (equine surgeon). Not a human doctor. This is a recurring source of insecurity for her. Common wrong answer: just “surgeon” or “heart surgeon.”
35. What does Rick often drink from his flask?
The show never explicitly names the liquid in most episodes, which is part of the joke. But there are enough context clues and off-hand references.
Show Answer
Alcohol, implied to be some kind of hard liquor (often assumed to be whiskey or a generic spirit). The show uses his drinking as both a gag and a character study.
36. What is the name of the reality where everything is on a cob?
One of the most absurd throwaway gags in the show. Rick panics about it for reasons never explained, which makes it funnier.
Show Answer
It’s simply referred to as the “everything on a cob” planet/dimension. It has no formal designation. The joke is that Rick, who has seen everything, is uniquely terrified of this one.
37. In “The Ricklantis Mixup” (also known as “Tales from the Citadel”), what is happening on the Citadel while Rick and Morty are supposedly going to Atlantis?
Show Answer
The Citadel is holding its first democratic election, which Evil Morty wins. The entire episode follows various Ricks and Mortys on the Citadel while C-137 Rick and Morty’s Atlantis adventure is never shown.
38. What is the name of the alien race that abducts Jerry in Season 2?
People confuse the different alien species constantly. The show introduces so many that they blur together unless you’ve been paying close attention.
Show Answer
The Galactic Federation doesn’t exactly “abduct” Jerry , in Season 3, Episode 1, Jerry is offered a comfortable life by the Federation during their occupation of Earth. If you’re thinking of the “Jerry Daycare” from “Mortynight Run,” that’s Jerryboree, run by an unspecified organization. The question is intentionally tricky , different Jerry situations blend together.
39. What is Jerryboree?
Show Answer
A daycare facility for Jerrys from across the multiverse, where Ricks drop off their dimension’s Jerry while going on adventures. It’s basically an interdimensional babysitting service for the universe’s most helpless man.
40. What is the name of the tiny person who lives in the engine of Rick’s spaceship?
Show Answer
There isn’t a tiny person living in the engine. Rick’s car battery contains the Miniverse (a tiny civilization generating power). The scientist inside is Zeep Xanflorp, voiced by Stephen Colbert. People sometimes remember this as a single tiny person rather than an entire civilization.
Character Deep Cuts
41. What is Birdperson’s name after being resurrected by the Galactic Federation?
Show Answer
Phoenixperson (sometimes written as Phoenix Person).
42. What is Squanchy’s species-specific verbal tic?
Show Answer
He uses the word “squanch” as a substitute for various words, similar to how Smurfs use “smurf.” The joke is that the meaning changes based on context and is sometimes clearly inappropriate.
43. Who is Noob-Noob, and why does Rick like him?
Show Answer
Noob-Noob is the lowly janitor/intern of the Vindicators. Rick likes him because he’s the only one who laughs at Rick’s jokes. Rick’s entire revenge plot in the episode was drunkenly dedicated to Noob-Noob, not to Morty as everyone assumed.
44. What is the name of the Vindicators’ most powerful member who Rick kills offscreen while blackout drunk?
Show Answer
Worldender. Rick defeats the Vindicators’ greatest nemesis effortlessly while drunk, which is the entire point of the episode’s commentary on superhero narratives.
45. What alien species is Krombopulos Michael?
People remember his name, his catchphrase, and his enthusiasm for killing. Almost nobody remembers what he looks like in enough detail to name his species.
Show Answer
He’s a Gromflomite (the same insectoid species that makes up much of the Galactic Federation).
46. What is Krombopulos Michael’s famous line about his profession?
Show Answer
“Oh boy, here I go killing again!”
47. Who is Mr. Nimbus?
The fact that this character exists at all is a testament to the show’s commitment to making Rick’s backstory as weird as possible.
Show Answer
Rick’s self-proclaimed nemesis who controls the police. He’s essentially an Aquaman/Namor parody who has a complicated history with Rick, including implied romantic encounters.
48. What is the name of the sentient gas cloud that Morty falls in love with in “Mortynight Run”?
Show Answer
Fart (voiced by Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords). Morty names him Fart.
49. What song does Fart sing to Morty?
Jemaine Clement singing a David Bowie-esque ballad as a sentient gas cloud is the kind of sentence that only makes sense in the context of this show.
Show Answer
“Goodbye Moonmen.”
50. What is Unity, and what is Unity’s relationship to Rick?
Show Answer
Unity is a hivemind entity , a being that assimilates and controls entire populations. Unity is Rick’s ex-girlfriend/partner. Their episode (“Auto Erotic Assimilation”) ends with one of the show’s darkest moments: Rick attempting suicide in his garage.
The Writers’ Room Questions
51. Who are the two co-creators of Rick and Morty?
Show Answer
Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon.
52. Dan Harmon is also the creator of what other cult TV show?
53. What storytelling framework does Dan Harmon famously use in his writing, which is evident throughout Rick and Morty’s episode structures?
If you know this, you’re either a screenwriter or you’ve gone deep into the commentary tracks.
Show Answer
The “Story Circle” (also called the Dan Harmon Story Circle), his simplified version of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, broken into 8 steps.
54. In what year did Rick and Morty premiere?
Show Answer
2013 (December 2, 2013). Common wrong answer: 2014, because the first full season run was in 2014.
55. What was the reason Justin Roiland departed from Rick and Morty?
Show Answer
Roiland was charged with felony domestic violence in 2020 (charges later dropped in 2023), but Adult Swim cut ties with him in January 2023 after the charges became public. He was replaced as voice actor for both Rick and Morty.
56. Who took over voicing Rick and Morty after Justin Roiland’s departure?
The transition was smoother than most people expected. The new actor had to match two iconic voices simultaneously, which is a genuinely insane job description.
Show Answer
Ian Cardoni voices Rick and Harry Belden voices Morty, starting in Season 7.
57. How many seasons of Rick and Morty were ordered in the show’s massive renewal deal with Adult Swim?
Show Answer
70 episodes were ordered in May 2018, covering Seasons 4 through 7 (and beyond). It was one of the largest episode orders in cable animation history.
58. What was the infamously long gap between Seasons 2 and 3?
Fans went feral during this period. The wait became part of the show’s lore almost as much as any episode.
Show Answer
About a year and a half. Season 2 ended September 2015, and Season 3’s surprise premiere was April 1, 2017 (April Fools’ Day). The full season didn’t begin until July 2017.
59. On what holiday did the surprise Season 3 premiere air?
Show Answer
April Fools’ Day, 2017. Adult Swim aired “The Rickshank Rickdemption” on a loop all night. Many fans initially thought it was a prank.
60. What famous improv technique is used for the interdimensional cable episodes?
Show Answer
Much of the dialogue was improvised by Justin Roiland, who would riff into the microphone in character. The animation was then built around his recordings.
The Science-ish Ones
61. What is the Central Finite Curve?
This concept separates casual viewers from people who’ve actually been tracking the show’s mythology. It recontextualizes everything.
Show Answer
A partition within the infinite multiverse that contains only realities where Rick Sanchez is the smartest being in the universe. Rick himself created or maintains it, essentially ensuring his own supremacy across all accessible dimensions.
62. What device does Rick use most frequently for interdimensional travel?
Show Answer
His portal gun.
63. In the “Microverse Battery” episode, what is the power source that Rick has created?
Show Answer
A miniature universe (the Miniverse) inside a battery. The inhabitants unknowingly generate electricity through their daily activities, which powers Rick’s car. It’s essentially slavery with extra steps, as one character points out.
64. Who says “That just sounds like slavery with extra steps”?
People always attribute this to Morty. It’s not Morty.
Show Answer
One of the Miniverse inhabitants. The exact line is delivered by a random citizen during a presentation. Common wrong answer: Morty or Summer.
65. What is the Meeseeks Box?
Show Answer
A device that summons Mr. Meeseeks , blue creatures that exist solely to complete one task and then vanish. If the task can’t be completed, they become increasingly desperate and violent.
66. What is “Concentrated Dark Matter” and why is it significant?
Show Answer
It’s a fuel source for faster-than-light travel. The Zigerions (alien scammers) spend an entire episode trying to trick Rick into revealing its formula. Rick outsmarts them by giving a fake formula that causes their ship to explode.
67. What real scientific concept does the show reference with its “infinite timelines splitting at every decision” framework?
Show Answer
The Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics, originally proposed by Hugh Everett III in 1957.
68. What is the Galactic Federation’s currency?
This comes up specifically when Rick collapses their economy. It’s a blink-and-miss-it detail.
Show Answer
The Blemflarck (or Flurbo in some contexts , the show uses different currency names at different points, with Blemflarcks being the Federation currency that Rick devalues to zero).
69. How does Rick destroy the Galactic Federation in the Season 3 premiere?
Show Answer
He changes the value of their currency to zero, collapsing their entire economy and causing the Federation to dissolve in the resulting chaos.
70. What is the “death crystal” and what does it do?
Show Answer
Death crystals show the user all possible versions of their death depending on their current choices. In the Season 4 premiere, Morty uses one and becomes obsessed with achieving a specific death (dying old with Jessica by his side), making increasingly dangerous decisions to stay on that path.
Guest Stars and Voices
71. Who voices Birdperson?
Show Answer
Dan Harmon (co-creator of the show).
72. What Academy Award-winning actress voices Dr. Wong in “Pickle Rick”?
Show Answer
Susan Sarandon.
73. Who voices Zeep Xanflorp, the scientist inside Rick’s Miniverse battery?
The casting of this role is perfect because the actor brings the same energy of smug intellectual superiority that Rick has, creating a genuine mirror match.
Show Answer
Stephen Colbert.
74. Keith David voices which recurring character?
Show Answer
The President of the United States.
75. What actress voices Planetina, Morty’s superhero girlfriend who is a parody of Captain Planet?
76. Which member of the band Faith No More voices the character Hemorrhage in the “Mad Max” parody episode?
This is the kind of credit that makes you do a double-take on IMDb.
Show Answer
Mike Patton (though the character Hemorrhage is actually voiced by Joel McHale. Mike Patton does not appear in this episode. This question is intentionally tricky , if you went with Joel McHale or said you weren’t sure, good instinct). Actually, Hemorrhage is voiced by Darren Criss in “Rickmancing the Stone.” I’ll be straight: the voice cast on this show is dense enough that even dedicated fans mix up guest credits.
77. Christina Hendricks voices which character in Season 1?
Show Answer
Unity. Wait , Unity appears in Season 2, not Season 1. Christina Hendricks voices Supernova in the Vindicators episode (Season 3). This is the kind of question where the season number trips people up.
78. Who voices Scary Terry, the Freddy Krueger parody?
Show Answer
Jess Harnell. Scary Terry’s catchphrase is adding “bitch” to the end of everything, which is a riff on how Freddy Krueger uses one-liners.
79. What comedian voices Glootie, the alien intern with “DO NOT DEVELOP MY APP” tattooed on his forehead?
Show Answer
Taika Waititi.
80. Nathan Fillion voices which character?
Show Answer
Cornvelious Daniel, the Galactic Federation agent who enters Rick’s brain in the Season 3 premiere.
The Deep Lore
81. What happened to Rick’s original wife, Diane?
This is the emotional spine of the entire series. It took years for the show to fully reveal it, and when it did, it reframed Rick’s nihilism as something much sadder.
Show Answer
Diane (and young Beth) were killed by a bomb sent through a portal by another Rick, who was trying to recruit C-137 Rick. When C-137 Rick refused, the other Rick killed his family. This event is what drove Rick to develop the portal gun and set him on his path of interdimensional nihilism.
82. What is Rick’s full name?
Show Answer
Richard “Rick” Sanchez. (Sometimes referenced as Ricardo Sanchez in certain contexts.)
83. What is the significance of the Wishing Portal on the Citadel?
Show Answer
It’s a garbage chute. Mortys throw coins and wishes into it, but it just leads to a disposal area. It’s a bleak metaphor for false hope that the show uses without ever spelling it out.
84. In “Rest and Ricklaxation,” what happens when Rick and Morty use a detox machine at an alien spa?
Show Answer
The machine separates their “toxic” traits from their personalities, creating toxic versions of them. Notably, Rick’s “toxic” self still cares about Morty, implying that Rick considers his attachment to Morty a weakness/toxicity.
85. What is “Space Beth” and why does she exist?
Show Answer
Rick offered Beth a choice: stay with her family or let him make a clone so she could go explore the universe. One Beth stayed, one left. The show deliberately never confirms which is the clone and which is the original, and eventually the show treats them as equally “real.”
86. What is the Citadel of Ricks?
Show Answer
A massive space station/city inhabited by Ricks and Mortys from across the multiverse. It functions as its own society with a class system where Ricks are the elite and Mortys are the underclass. It’s destroyed by Evil Morty in the Season 5 finale.
87. What does Rick claim is his reason for needing Morty as a companion?
This is one of those answers that sounds like a joke but is actually plot-relevant to the show’s mythology.
Show Answer
Rick claims that Morty’s “Morty waves” (his below-average brain waves) cancel out Rick’s genius-level brain waves, making Rick undetectable to enemies scanning for him. Whether this is true or just an excuse Rick tells himself is part of the show’s ongoing ambiguity about their relationship.
88. What happens at the end of “Rick Potion #9” that fundamentally changes the show?
Show Answer
Rick and Morty abandon their Cronenberged dimension, travel to a new one where their counterparts have just died, and take their places. Morty buries his own dead body in the backyard. The show never fully goes back to the original dimension, establishing that actions have permanent consequences even in an infinite multiverse.
89. What is the significance of the photo of Birdperson and Rick at what appears to be a protest or battle?
Show Answer
It shows Rick and Birdperson (and Squanchy) at the Battle of Blood Ridge, fighting against the Galactic Federation. This is part of Rick’s mysterious past as a revolutionary/freedom fighter before he became the nihilistic alcoholic we know.
90. What does Evil Morty do with the Citadel before escaping the Central Finite Curve?
Show Answer
He uses the Citadel as a power source to break through the Central Finite Curve, essentially destroying it and killing most of the Ricks and Mortys aboard in the process.
The Final Stretch
91. What is the Plumbus, and what is it used for?
The joke is that everyone in the show’s universe knows what a Plumbus is and how it’s used, but it’s never explained to the audience.
Show Answer
A common household item in the Rick and Morty universe. Its function is deliberately never explained. The “How They Do It” segment shows an elaborate manufacturing process involving dinglebops, schleem, and fleeb juice, but none of it clarifies what the thing actually does.
92. What is the name of the arcade Rick and Morty visit, and what game do they play there?
Show Answer
Blips and Chitz. They play “Roy: A Life Well Lived,” a VR game where you live an entire human life as a man named Roy. Morty goes back to the carpet store after beating cancer, which Rick considers a waste of a life.
93. What is the maximum score/achievement in Roy?
This is the kind of question that separates people who’ve watched the episode once from people who’ve absorbed it.
Show Answer
The game doesn’t have a stated maximum score. Rick’s criticism is that Morty “wasted” his Roy by going back to the carpet store (playing it safe). The implication is that the “score” is about how adventurously you live the simulated life. Rick later plays “Roy 2: Dave” at the Citadel.
94. In what episode does Morty bury his own dead body?
The scene lasts about ten seconds. It’s one of the most disturbing things in the entire series, and it’s played almost without comment.
Show Answer
“Rick Potion #9” (Season 1, Episode 6).
95. What is the name of the alien who hosts the intergalactic talent show in “Get Schwifty”?
Show Answer
The Cromulons (giant floating heads). They force planets to compete in a musical competition called “Planet Music.” Planets that lose are destroyed.
96. What song do Rick and Morty perform to save Earth in “Get Schwifty”?
Show Answer
“Get Schwifty” (“Take off your pants and your panties. Shit on the floor. Time to get schwifty in here.”)
97. What is the name of Morty’s love interest throughout much of the series?
Show Answer
Jessica. She’s largely a one-dimensional crush object in early seasons but gets more development later, particularly after spending what feels like an eternity trapped in a time-frozen state.
98. What happens to Jessica in the Season 4 premiere that changes her perspective on life?
Show Answer
She gets frozen in a time crystal and, from her perspective, experiences an eternity of frozen consciousness. When she’s finally unfrozen, she’s essentially transcended normal human concerns and tells Morty she wants to be “a friend.” It’s the show’s way of definitively ending the will-they-won’t-they.
99. What is the very first line of dialogue in the entire series?
This one empties a room. Nobody remembers the first line. They remember the tone, the feeling, the chaos of the pilot. But the actual words? That’s a different kind of memory.
Show Answer
Rick drunkenly wakes Morty up in the middle of the night, and his first words are essentially a drunken ramble about having built a bomb. The opening line is Rick saying: “Morty, you gotta come on. You gotta come with me.” (The exact phrasing varies slightly by transcript, but Rick is drunkenly dragging Morty out of bed for a supposed adventure involving a neutrino bomb.)
100. In the Season 2 finale, after Rick turns himself in to the Galactic Federation to protect his family, what is the last thing we see before the credits?
I save this one for last because it’s the question that reminds you what this show is actually about underneath all the portal guns and catchphrases. Rick sits alone in a prison cell. The family is at the table without him. “Hurt” plays. And then we see the one thing that tells us this isn’t a comedy anymore.
The right answer to this question isn’t a plot point. It’s a feeling. And that’s what the best Rick and Morty trivia does. It makes you remember not just what happened, but how it landed.
Show Answer
The final shot shows Rick sitting alone in his Federation prison cell, head down. The post-credits scene shows Mr. Poopybutthole, months later, having moved on with his life, directly addressing the audience about how long they’ll have to wait for Season 3. It’s simultaneously the most emotionally devastating and most meta ending the show has ever done.
After 6 years of writing music trivia from Nashville, TN, I've developed a theory: the best music questions are the ones where someone at every table is absolutely certain they know it, and about half of them are wrong.
