Rick and Morty Dance:The “Rick and Morty Dance” is one of the fastest-growing TikTok trends which combines multiple animated editing styles with meme-based content and dance performance videos to create viral content that spreads across For You Pages. The trend has rapidly gained traction in April 2026 with users recreating moves and remixing sounds and using the meme format in thousands of short videos. According to multiple trusted web sources and trend trackers the viral moment is tied to an animated dance battle clip which features popular cartoon characters including Rick and Morty.
What Is the Rick and Morty Dance Trend?
The current TikTok trend shows a strange animated sequence which displays characters from different Cartoon Network-style universes competing in a dance battle.

Users now call it the Rick and Morty Dance because those characters became the face of the trend, even though the original animation reportedly featured several characters.
Where Did the Trend Start?
The viral clip first appeared on TikTok through the account @reqdeca which posted it during the last days of March 2026 according to Know Your Meme from the meme database. The animated video quickly reached millions of views before it experienced massive growth when users began to create their own content by combining the video with a remix that blended The Smiths’ “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” with contemporary rap music production.
Creators started sharing the Rick and Morty segment again because they wanted to create new content through their own captioning and reaction edits and “me after…” joke format.
