Wubba lubba dub dub: This Sunday sees the return of Adult Swim's smart, snarky, and artfully gross animated sci-fi sitcom Rick and Morty. Earlier this month we spoke to co-creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, who shared the secret to being funny, and we now get to see it in action in an exclusive preview clip from Season 2, Episode 1: A Rickle in Time.

While drunk, misanthropic, mad scientist grandpa Rick struggles with awkward, bumbling, loveable grandson Morty, the social media-savvy granddaughter Summer, and a tangled time warp, their perma-fighting parents, Jerry and Beth, remain blissfully unaware. Then, they hit a deer in the family car, sparking a fight about a subject familiar to Rick and Morty fans: Beth's career as a horse surgeon. That fight escalates below:

In our interview, Harmon also teases the shifting dynamics between the five characters that we'll see throughout the next 11 episodes. "In this season we do a litte bit more experimenting with characters in different combinations," he says. "You might see Rick flying through space with Beth and Morty, for instance, to get groceries from some weird planet that Rick says has better groceries than on Earth. Or it might be Jerry and Summer in the car with him, or he may drop Beth and Jerry off at a planet that he says has good couples therapy."

Suffice to say, we're excited.

Rick and Morty Season 2 premieres on July 26 at 11:30pm on Adult Swim. Catch up on Season 1 with full episodes here.
