Season 6 of this Emmy Award-winning absurdist cartoon will be returning on September 4, 2022, at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time for audiences in the United States. Season 5 ended with the character Evil Morty, a Morty from another dimension, trying to escape to a multiverse where his grandfather is not the smartest man in the universe.

Whatever Rick and Morty will do in response remains unknown, but there is no doubt they will do it with a sense of pessimism and humor. If you're not in the mood for the potency of an adult cartoon, read these quotes from the Powerpuff Girls.
