20 Best TV Comedy Characters Of The 21st Century

The phenomenon that is Rick and Morty shows no signs of stopping. Adult Swim have finally announced the premiere of the fourth season's second half and fans are obviously very excited. Few shows have had the overnight success that this animated gem has achieved and it has every right to be so highly praised.

The lovechild of comedy genius Dan Harmon and vocal talents of Justin Roiland make for the most bizarre and entertaining watch you've ever seen. An out of control alcoholic and a teenage boy stuck in the throes of puberty travel the universe and end up in all kinds of crazy situations.

Rick Sanchez may be rude, inappropriate, slobbish, arrogant and rarely sober, but he is the smartest person alive. With that brainpower he is able to create crazy inventions and elaborate plans for the simplest of situations. It almost never goes well for him and unfortunately for his grandson, Morty is always along for the ride.

With all his flaws, Rick is actually trying is best to be a good role model and father to the Smith family. Yet thankfully for the viewer, that is pretty much impossible as he ends up in more and more hilarious complications.
