One awesome Rick and Morty cosplay has really taken fans by surprise and has gone viral for it with a live-action take on Snowball, one of the series’ most memorable early foes! The Adult Swim original animated series is currently getting ready for the sixth season to return some time later this year (with Season 8 of the series already in the works, apparently), and with the new episodes will likely be introducing all kinds of wacky new situations and foes that the titular duo will have to face off against. But these new episodes also provide the opportunity to bring back some of the fan favorites in new ways.

First appearing during the second episode of the series, “Lawnmower Dog,” before having a few background cameo appearances in later seasons, the Smith family dog, Snuffles, eventually used newly gained super intelligence to craft a mech suit, change his name to Snowball (temporarily) and poise a full takeover before disappearing from the series forever. But now this memorable foe has gotten to live again thanks to some viral cosplay from artist Allison Chase on Twitter, and the official Twitter account for Adult Swim gave this impressive cosplay a shout out. Check it out below:
Rick and Morty will be releasing Season 6 some time later this year, but Adult Swim has yet to reveal a concrete release date for the new episodes just yet. But that means there’s plenty of time to catch up with Rick and Morty before the new season hits!

There are also a few anime shorts on Adult Swim’s YouTube channel to check out (along with plans for a full anime series soon) and they break down as such:
- Samurai & Shogun
- Rick and Morty vs. Genocider
- Rick + Morty in the Eternal Nightmare Machine
- Summer Meets God (Rick Meets Evil)
- The Great Yokai Battle of Akihabara
- Samurai & Shogun Part 2
