[[quoteright:217:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mortyandmorty_9332.png]]
->Voiced by: Justin Roiland
A [[SociopathicHero sociopathic]] [[DitzyGenius yet brilliant scientist]] living with his daughter’s family. Rick constantly drags Morty along on his adventures that serve purposes never usually expressed. He has access to all sorts of technology he’s supposedly invented all on his own, and he is (in)famous among aliens as one of the most intelligent beings in existence. Despite that, [[TheAlcoholic he drinks]] and behaves like a {{Jerkass}} most of the time, and finds that his technology is really cut out for bigger problems then found everyday in the family, though when the two combine the result is never a pretty sight.
----
!!!Tropes Rick displays:
* TheAlcoholic: He's either drunk or acting like a know-it-all jackass.
* BadassGrandpa: Surprisingly agile for an old man, and can deliver an ass kicking when needed.
* BerserkButton: Try to con Rick all you want but do not involve his grandson in your plans. It's also best not to physically violate him either [[spoiler: or you'll end up with a deadly ray gun blow]].
* BigOlUnibrow: Borders between both Type I & II.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: In spades. He's a massive drunk, has borderline BlueAndOrangeMorality, and has a habit of dragging his grandson along on dangerous adventurers, but the guy is a very talented and accomplished MadScientist... even if a lot of his experiments are odd.
* CreatorCameo: Voiced by Justin Roiland, one of the show's creators.
* DitzyGenius: Can easily qualify when it comes to his drunkenness and sociopathy.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the pilot, Rick drags Morty out of his bedroom in an attempt to drunkenly nuke the world, but tries to pass it off as a SecretTestOfCharacter when it fails.
* {{Expy}}: He's basically [[Film/BackToTheFuture Doc Brown]] if he were an alcoholic sociopath.
* FourthWallObserver: Shows this trait in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90iqltbkoiA the]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SbOiXKa_dk promos]] and [[http://video.adultswim.com/rick-and-morty/special/ the game]].
* GadgeteerGenius: Claims to build robots for fun, among other things.
* GassHole: He frequently belches in the middle of his sentences when he's drunk, which is often. This has been noticeably downplayed since the pilot, though.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Somewhat, as he's shown to be pretty selfish and is well aware that his intellect surpasses everyone around him, though he doesn't make too big a deal about becoming the center of attention.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be an insane drunk who constantly drags his grandson on life threatening adventures, but he clearly loves his daughter and grandson.
* MadScientist: Goes without saying.
* ManipulativeBastard: One can interpret him as taking advantage of Morty's naivete to fool him into helping him with his work, though he pretty obviously tricks Morty's parents into letting him go on adventures with him.
* NeverMyFault: He will be the last one to admit that he screwed things up, though he does give in on occasion.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Jerry sees him as this.
* OddFriendship: With Morty.
** IntergenerationalFriendship
* PapaWolf: Moreso towards Morty than his actual father, though this could be blamed on Jerry's absence in most of Morty's most threatening situations.

* TalkativeLoon: Usually as a result of alcoholism.
* TalkingToHimself: With Morty.
* VerbalTic: He finds himself constantly dropping Morty's name when talking to him. Just listen to his speech at the end of the pilot.
* WouldHurtAChild: Frank Palicky in the pilot, who was bullying Morty and got frozen to death by Rick.

!!Morty Smith
[[quoteright:143:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rckmroty_1351.png]]
->Voiced by: Justin Roiland
Rick’s grandson who falls victim to playing the role of his sidekick. Morty is a young high school student who has trouble fitting in, especially given the circumstances he faces at home. He likely has a disability of sorts, and has trouble keeping up with the other kids in class, but he is proven to be pretty badass outside of school at Rick’s side.
----
!!!Tropes Morty displays:
* BreakTheCutie: In "Meeseeks and Destroy", [[spoiler: Morty almost becomes victim to rape by the Jellybean King]]. Afterwards, he is practically crying and tells Rick that he just wants to go home.
* CreatorCameo: Also voiced by Justin Roiland
* HeroesWantRedheads: His crush, Jessica.
* KissingWarmUp: Beth has to tell him not to practice kiss the pillow.
* MoralityPet: To the hyper-intelligent Snuffles in "Lawnmower Dog".
** While he might put him through a ''lot'' of crap, Rick does actually love Morty and can be quite protective of him.
* OddFriendship: With Rick.
** IntergenerationalFriendship
* PetTheDog: In "Meeseeks and Destroy", [[spoiler: Rick convinces Morty to keep going on their adventure and blows up the Jellybean King when he knew that he did something bad to Morty that traumatized him]]. It's especially heartwarming due to [[BreakTheCutie Morty's original reaction]] in the first place.
* ShouldntWeBeInSchoolRightNow: Beth and Jerry don't like the fact that Rick drags Morty out of school to go on his adventures in the pilot. In the second episode, "Lawnmower Dog", Rick incepts Morty's math teacher's dreams so that he subliminally convinces him to give Morty good grades all the time, even if Morty isn't there.
* TalkingToHimself: With Rick.
----
!!Jerry Smith
[[quoteright:189:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jerryandmorty_8364.png]]
->Voiced by: Chris Parnell
The father of Morty and Summer, and the husband of Rick’s daughter Beth. Jerry has trouble balancing his job, family, and marriage, none of which are helped by the influence of Rick’s escapades, which he sometimes finds himself unwittingly weaseled into.
----
!!!Tropes Jerry displays:
* ButtMonkey: Most likely the biggest example in the show.
* BumblingDad: He's not necessarily a bad dad, but he blurts out a pretty big bombshell in the pilot by telling Rick that Morty has some wort of disability right in front of his own son's eyes. In other instances he's shown to be a pretty effective dad, and the "bumbling" aspect of the trope is better applied to his role as a husband.
* MrSeahorse: In the opening sequence, Jerry is shown giving birth. It has yet to come up in any episode yet, but you can be sure it's on its way.
* StraightMan: Which is odd because he's also the dimmest of the main characters. But despite his awkwardness, he rivals Beth as the most normal of the family.
* TookALevelInBadass: In "Rick Potion #9", though it apparently doesn't carry over to the reality Rick and Morty settle down in where the situation that turned him into a {{Badass}} is resolved.
* UglyGuyHotWife: It's implied that he married way out of his league.
* YankTheDogsChain: Get's one in "M. Night Shaym-Aliens!", when he has the best day of his life, but is pulled out right at the best moment by Rick, who reveals it was all just a simulation.
** He gets yet another one (if you think about it) in "Rick Potion #9", when he wins the pure affection of his woman by becoming a totall {{Badass}} in a CrapsackWorld, only for Rick and Morty to completely ditch that reality altogether and return to one where he and Beth are apparently back where they started.
----
!!Beth Smith
[[quoteright:223:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bethandmorty_8075.png]]
->Voiced by: Sarah Chalke
Jerry’s wife and Rick’s daughter, Beth faces the problems that follow her unstable marriage and her dad living with her family, though she’s the least affected family member by the latter of the two. She has a job as a heart surgeon for horses.
----
!!!Tropes Beth displays
* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: She was impregnated by Jerry when she was seventeen.
* HospitalHottie: Her job as a heart surgeon.
* MissingMom: Rick states in the pilot that she is no longer alive, and it's mentioned in "Rick Potion #9" that Rick left her mom.
* UglyGuyHotWife: With Jerry, who is implied to have married out of his league.
* WomenAreWiser: She's likely the most level headed member of the family, rivaling only Jerry, who has some LargeHam tendencies.
----
!!Summer Smith
[[quoteright:194:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/summerandmorty_1293.png]]
->Voiced by: Spencer Grammer
The daughter of Jerry and Beth and the sister of Morty. Summer behaves the way a typical teenage daughter living in a house with a psychotic grandfather would.
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: In the pilot she has a crush on Frank Palicki. Too bad he got frozen to death by Rick.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Though mostly in the pilot. She has shown improvement in later episodes, but still generally carries this trope around with her.

!!Principal Vagina
->Voiced by: N/A
The principal of Morty and Summer’s high school. A middle-aged, balding man with a shitty name that he constantly has to emphasize he has no relation to the female body part, Principal Vagina is a surprisingly level-headed person in such a messed up world.
----
!!!Tropes Principal Vagina displays:
* FailOSuckyName
----
!!Frank Palicki
->Voiced by: N/A
A bully who appeared in the pilot episode of the series. Frank Palicky carried a knife around in school and threatened to make anyone who called his family poor pay the price for doing so. He was frozen to death by Rick in his debut episode.
----
!!!Tropes Frank displays:
* TheBully: To Morty.
* BerserkButton: Don't call his family poor. Or say anything that might make him think you called his family poor. Or... it's probably best if you don't talk at all around him, actually.
* HarmlessFreezing: Averted, as it kills him.
* KilledOffForReal: By Rick.
** And there's no evidence that a Latino student did it.

Rick’s grandson who falls victim to playing the role of his sidekick. Morty is a young high school student who has trouble fitting in, especially given the circumstances he faces at home. He likely has a disability of sorts, and has trouble keeping up with the other kids in class, but he is proven to be pretty badass outside of school at Rick’s side.
----
!!!Tropes Morty displays:
* BreakTheCutie: In "Meeseeks and Destroy", [[spoiler: Morty almost becomes victim to rape by the Jellybean King]]. Afterwards, he is practically crying and tells Rick that he just wants to go home.
* CreatorCameo: Also voiced by Justin Roiland
* HeroesWantRedheads: His crush, Jessica.
* KissingWarmUp: Beth has to tell him not to practice kiss the pillow.
* MoralityPet: To the hyper-intelligent Snuffles in "Lawnmower Dog".
** While he might put him through a ''lot'' of crap, Rick does actually love Morty and can be quite protective of him.
* OddFriendship: With Rick.
** IntergenerationalFriendship
* PetTheDog: In "Meeseeks and Destroy", [[spoiler: Rick convinces Morty to keep going on their adventure and blows up the Jellybean King when he knew that he did something bad to Morty that traumatized him]]. It's especially heartwarming due to [[BreakTheCutie Morty's original reaction]] in the first place.
* ShouldntWeBeInSchoolRightNow: Beth and Jerry don't like the fact that Rick drags Morty out of school to go on his adventures in the pilot. In the second episode, "Lawnmower Dog", Rick incepts Morty's math teacher's dreams so that he subliminally convinces him to give Morty good grades all the time, even if Morty isn't there.
* TalkingToHimself: With Rick.
----
!!Jerry Smith
[[quoteright:189:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jerryandmorty_8364.png]]
->Voiced by: Chris Parnell
The father of Morty and Summer, and the husband of Rick’s daughter Beth. Jerry has trouble balancing his job, family, and marriage, none of which are helped by the influence of Rick’s escapades, which he sometimes finds himself unwittingly weaseled into.
----
!!!Tropes Jerry displays:
* ButtMonkey: Most likely the biggest example in the show.
* BumblingDad: He's not necessarily a bad dad, but he blurts out a pretty big bombshell in the pilot by telling Rick that Morty has some wort of disability right in front of his own son's eyes. In other instances he's shown to be a pretty effective dad, and the "bumbling" aspect of the trope is better applied to his role as a husband.
* MrSeahorse: In the opening sequence, Jerry is shown giving birth. It has yet to come up in any episode yet, but you can be sure it's on its way.
* StraightMan: Which is odd because he's also the dimmest of the main characters. But despite his awkwardness, he rivals Beth as the most normal of the family.
* TookALevelInBadass: In "Rick Potion #9", though it apparently doesn't carry over to the reality Rick and Morty settle down in where the situation that turned him into a {{Badass}} is resolved.
* UglyGuyHotWife: It's implied that he married way out of his league.
* YankTheDogsChain: Get's one in "M. Night Shaym-Aliens!", when he has the best day of his life, but is pulled out right at the best moment by Rick, who reveals it was all just a simulation.
** He gets yet another one (if you think about it) in "Rick Potion #9", when he wins the pure affection of his woman by becoming a totall {{Badass}} in a CrapsackWorld, only for Rick and Morty to completely ditch that reality altogether and return to one where he and Beth are apparently back where they started.

!!Beth Smith
[[quoteright:223:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bethandmorty_8075.png]]
->Voiced by: Sarah Chalke
Jerry’s wife and Rick’s daughter, Beth faces the problems that follow her unstable marriage and her dad living with her family, though she’s the least affected family member by the latter of the two. She has a job as a heart surgeon for horses.
----
!!!Tropes Beth displays
* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: She was impregnated by Jerry when she was seventeen.
* HospitalHottie: Her job as a heart surgeon.
* MissingMom: Rick states in the pilot that she is no longer alive, and it's mentioned in "Rick Potion #9" that Rick left her mom.
* UglyGuyHotWife: With Jerry, who is implied to have married out of his league.
* WomenAreWiser: She's likely the most level headed member of the family, rivaling only Jerry, who has some LargeHam tendencies.
----
!!Summer Smith
[[quoteright:194:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/summerandmorty_1293.png]]
->Voiced by: Spencer Grammer
The daughter of Jerry and Beth and the sister of Morty. Summer behaves the way a typical teenage daughter living in a house with a psychotic grandfather would.
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: In the pilot she has a crush on Frank Palicki. Too bad he got frozen to death by Rick.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Though mostly in the pilot. She has shown improvement in later episodes, but still generally carries this trope around with her.

!!Principal Vagina
->Voiced by: N/A
The principal of Morty and Summer’s high school. A middle-aged, balding man with a shitty name that he constantly has to emphasize he has no relation to the female body part, Principal Vagina is a surprisingly level-headed person in such a messed up world.
----
!!!Tropes Principal Vagina displays:
* FailOSuckyName
----
!!Frank Palicki
->Voiced by: N/A
A bully who appeared in the pilot episode of the series. Frank Palicky carried a knife around in school and threatened to make anyone who called his family poor pay the price for doing so. He was frozen to death by Rick in his debut episode.
----
!!!Tropes Frank displays:
* TheBully: To Morty.
* BerserkButton: Don't call his family poor. Or say anything that might make him think you called his family poor. Or... it's probably best if you don't talk at all around him, actually.
* HarmlessFreezing: Averted, as it kills him.
* KilledOffForReal: By Rick.
** And there's no evidence that a Latino student did it.
