About this sound

✦ AI

A panicked voice clip from Rick and Morty, featuring his anxious stammering and worried tone that creators use for nervous reaction moments online.

This is a short voice clip of Morty Smith sounding stressed, uncertain and completely out of his depth. His voice shakes and stumbles as he reacts, with that high, nervous delivery that instantly signals panic without needing any context. The humour comes from how quickly his worry escalates and how sincere he sounds while falling apart. Listeners recognise the tone straight away, even without seeing the scene, and it lands as a funny stand in for anyone who has been dragged into a situation they did not agree to and cannot control.

Morty Smith is one of the main characters in Rick and Morty, the animated series created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon that premiered on Adult Swim in 2013. Morty is Rick Sanchez's teenage grandson, repeatedly pulled into dangerous interdimensional adventures he never feels ready for. His anxious speech, stammers and worried outbursts became one of the show's most quoted traits as clips spread through social media, edits and soundboards. The clip remains popular because that recognisable panic works far beyond the original scene and suits almost any stressful moment.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place the clip after a bad idea is revealed and let Morty's panic play in full without music underneath. Cut to a frozen or zoomed worried face on the first stammer, then hold a beat of silence after he finishes for the joke to land.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Drop it when a friend suggests something dangerous.
  • Use it for characters realising a plan went wrong.
