Gerald "Jerry" Smith is one of the main characters of the American animated television series Rick and Morty and resulting franchise. Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, and voiced by Chris Parnell, Jerry is depicted as a stay-at-home dad who finds contentment in his simple life.[7][8] He unknowingly uses pity as his "signature move", which leads to people hiring him or giving him any sort of consolation. Jerry is infamous for his mutual rivalry with Rick Sanchez, his father-in-law, with the pair ultimately becoming friends in the sixth season. On many occasions in the early seasons, his relationship with his partner, Beth Smith, has been shown to be incredibly unhealthy, co-dependent, and incompatible, before gradually improving over the course of the series. One of Jerry's hobbies is beekeeping, which he picks up sometime during season four.[9] It has been scarcely implied throughout the show that he is queer.[10] As well as being the son-in-law of mad scientist Rick, Jerry is father of Morty and Summer Smith and husband of Beth Smith. Both the original character and their inter-dimensional replacements (introduced in the second season) have received a positive critical reception.[11][12][13][14]
