PolitiRicks: ‘Rick and Morty’ goes after President … Obama?

Published



Never throughout the history of the multiverse did I think the hit adult cartoon “Rick and Morty” would get into politics, but they did. Not only did they take a stab at ridiculing the presidency, but they directed more shots at former President Barack Obama than at President Trump.

In the cartoon’s season three finale “The Rickchurian Mortydate,” Rick, the mad scientist and “smartest man in the universe,” and his grandson Morty find themselves at odds with the fictional president of the United States (voiced by Keith David, and simply referred to as “The President”) after he asks the two to defeat a monster living in the tunnels of the White House.
