Rick and Morty is an American animated science fiction sitcom that premiered on Adult Swim in 2013, built around the chaotic adventures of scientist Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty Smith. Short, blunt reactions from the show became popular as meme sounds because they are instantly recognisable and easy to drop into unrelated videos. This brief swear word works in the same way, giving editors a fast, adult reaction for fails, mistakes and unexpected twists. Its short length and familiar cartoon voice keep it useful across gaming clips, reaction videos and social media edits years after the show first aired.
