When it comes to iconic voices, no voice actor has stuck in the back of your mind
like Justin Roiland. Co-creator of Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites,
Justin Roiland may not have too many voices under his belt,
but some of his roles are iconic. But which of these voices are good and which are bad?
I’m Dan with WickedBinge and this is Justin Roiland Voices: Good to Evil.
One rule is necessary for this list: only two characters per show,
especially from a show like Rick and Morty where you could throw a dart at a list of characters.
Obviously, these characters are voiced by Roiland.
With that out of the way, we are going to start by talking about the Good.
Starting off the good section and gaining our Gold Medal of Good is Foodio 3000 from Invader Zim:
Enter The Florpus. Foodio 3000 is a robot created by Dr. Membrane to create and
serve food to the Membrane family. They are shown to be compassionate and respectful,
as well as being curious about things such as love. It is also revealed that they genuinely care
about the Membrane Family and is shown to be in distress when Clembrane only serves them pudding.
Foodio does nothing wrong throughout the movie and definitely deserves our gold medal.
Snatching the Silver Medal of Good is Fish Hooks’ Oscar Fishtooth. Oscar is the neurotic nerd and
brother to main character Milo. He is also the ignored voice of reason for the group.
He is shown to be a friendly fish who tries to be friends with anyone possible, even if
it doesn’t always go the way he expects. Due to being the voice of reason amongst his friends,
he can be seen as a worry-wart or a party pooper. However, it is shown he does this because he
truly cares about his friends and brother. He will do anything he needs to do to help them
or make them happy. Oscar is a good friend and brother. However, like most characters his age,
he is shown to be selfish at times, bringing his score down sometimes.
But the Bronze Medal of Good goes to Chris from Out There. Chris is a cunning,
crafty child who wants to leave the small town of Holford. He becomes good friends with another
child named Chad, and the two go on various misadventures throughout the show. Chris is
a good friend to Chad and tries his best to help him, as this can range from him helping teach Chad
about the female body to trying to help Chad woo the new girl Destiny. However, he’s not all good,
as he does try and drive his mom’s new boyfriend out of her life because he didn’t like him. But
with a character like Chris, his good definitely outweighs his bad. He was willing to raise any
money he could find to help Chad get out of his debt, and that’s just one of his better actions.
Up next is the time-cop Blendin Blandin from Gravity Falls. Blendin is a time-traveller for
the Time Anomaly Removal Crew who helps prevent timeline anomalies.
He comes to the Mystery Shack to investigate an anomaly accidentally created by a mix of actions
committed by him as well as by Dipper and Mabel. He is then arrested for crimes he didn’t commit
and vows revenge on Dipper and Mabel, getting out of Time Prison to do so. He then invokes Globnar,
a gladiatorial game he was going to use to get his revenge. However, this was a justified action.
He later forgives Mabel and Dipper after they apologize and then gets a job with the T.A.R.V
again. He is then overtaken by Bill and then gets almost obliterated by the flying Dorito. Blendin
is nothing more than an idiot when it comes down to it, and we can’t really rank him lower.
Hailing from Adventure Time, Lemonhope comes next on our list. Lemonhope is a Lemon Candy
person created by Lemongrab. He was shown to be quite gifted amongst the Lemongrab Earldom,
and Princess Bubblegum wanted to put him in a school for the gifted. This causes him to be
locked up by the Earl alongside Finn and PB, but he causes them to be released due to his
impressive flute playing. He is then tutored by PB to save the citizens of the Earldom but decides
to leave to experience true freedom, leaving the other citizens out to dry for a while.
He does eventually relent and save the Earldom alongside killing Lemongrab, but even after this,
he lives on his own for hundreds of years. Lemonhope is a good guy at heart,
but leaving his friends, family, and fellow citizens out to dry does bring him down.
Maybe a bit of a hot take, but rounding out the good section of our list is Trover from Trover
Saves The Universe. Trover is an alien working alongside Tom, the main character controlled
by the player. Working alongside is not exactly true, as he is actively controlled by Tom and,
therefore, by the player. Trover is kind of a douche throughout the game,
especially towards Tom. But besides his words, he has no control over most of his actions throughout
the game. Not to mention, even the worst things he does are also part of his job to some degree.
If he had full control, he might rank lower, but he lands here on the list as it stands.
With that out of the way, we now go down into the Gray Area.
Starting the Gray Area of our list is the Aqua Teen Hunger Force character with a long name, it’s
Honest Abe Lincoln’s Hot Links Sausage Mascot. The giant bearded cougar sausage is the mascot
for Honest Abe Lincoln’s Hot Links and appears in the episode “Mouth Quest”. He is shown destroying
downtown during one of his advertisements as well as freeing slaves and chopping wood as
Abe Lincoln did. However, out of commercial, he does argue with the Aqua Teens quite frequently
about the promotion of the brand. The only saving grace for this character is he does help Meatwad
find his mouth. However, we can’t exactly tell what parts of his story are true. So, all in all,
he lands in the gray, because if he does actively destroy cities, he has to be taken down a peg.
Up next on our list is Psychopath Giraffe hailing from Pig Goat Banana Cricket.
Psychopath Giraffe is exactly what it says on the tin, an anthropomorphic Giraffe who is also
a Psychopath. He has to deal with a few different mental illnesses like psychosis and schizophrenia,
which drive him to break the law. He is also responsible for the theft of the Presidential
Pickle due to hearing his mother’s voice in his head. We can’t rank him lower
because all of his crimes come from his illnesses, and none of them is particularly bad crimes to us.
Up next on the list is Doug Cheston from the superhero show Invincible. Doug is the son
of a rich pharmaceutical company owner and a student of Upstate University. He is shown to
be a braggart and a sort of pervert, trying to use his dad’s status and money as a selling point into
sleeping with him. However, he is kidnapped and forced to become a Reaniman, going on a murderous
rampage across campus. He then gets in a fight with Invincible and sees his disfigured face,
taking his own life because of this. Doug was kind of a douche before his transformation.
Afterwards, it was a mix of his orders and pure confusion, so he couldn’t go
any further down. But now that he is deceased, he solidifies his placement.
Coming from the show Hot Streets, Chubbie Webbers is next on our list. Chubbie is an intelligent
bipedal dog who helps investigate paranormal and criminal activities throughout his town.
He is commonly seen as a fearful dog. Despite this, he tries his best to be brave at times
when necessary. He helps find out that Branski was falsely diagnosed for a scam
the hospital was pulling and helps the rest of the crew on multiple occasions. However,
he does get addicted to “murder powder” at one point, and that doesn’t go well. He is
also responsible for releasing the alien that overtook the planet at one point. We can’t in
good conscience raise him much higher, but in all honestly, he’s not all that bad of a dog.
One half of the iconic crew from Rick and Morty, Morty Smith is the next character on our list.
Morty is the grandson of dimensional jumping scientist Rick Sanchez and is commonly seen
adventuring with his grandfather. As an infant and a child, he was filled with the insecurities of
his father Jerry, which explains a lot of his issues. He is shown to be a good-natured kid
at most points save for his intense anger issues in episodes like “Look Who’s Purging Now”. Despite
this, he is shown to be a generally perfect sidekick during the first couple of seasons.
He is even shown to be quite responsible for his age and quite smart even though he
disagrees with this assessment. He can distract the mind-reading Fart and make a less potent but
still functional portal fluid. He ranks here, because he does have a lot, and we mean a lot,
of bodies under his belt. He probably has one of the highest body counts on this list. The only
reason we can’t rank him lower is that he might get better as the series goes on because we have
plenty of series left. However, as it stands, he ranks here, near the bottom of the Gray Area.
With that rapping up the Gray Area of our list we now head down to the worst of the worst,
these are the Bad to Evil
Kicking off the Bad to Evil area of our list is Korvotron from Solar Opposites. Korvo is
the leader and smartest member of the crew who went to Earth on their terraforming mission.
While he is smart, Korvotron is ill-equipped regarding Earth customs and does not do well
in social situations. Korvo is also shown to be introverted, pessimistic,
and close-minded, making his already awkward social skills even worse. Despite all of this,
he shows that he harbors some sort of deep romantic feelings for his partner Terry.
He is even willing to go overboard for this attraction, banning dinner parties from their town
specifically because he felt Terry was abandoning him. He is also hyper-focused on his goal and
wants to terraform earth as soon as physically possible, albeit he has to wait for the Pupa
more than anything. However, he does rank this low for a good reason. It is implied
that he digs up and does unspeakable things to corpses as well as captures children in a hole
in the middle of the road. He also destroys part of the city with the giant Funbucket,
wants to kill Vanbo, and builds the robot PATRICIA which kills dozens of people. He also reveals tons
of personal secrets to the public during an election. Korvo is not that bad of a guy on
the surface, but upon digging deeper, it’s quite obvious that he’s not that good of a guy either.
Our old friend The Earl of Lemongrab from Adventure Time ranks next on our list.
Lemongrab is technically two different people made into a third body, so we’re going to count
all of his actions as if he was one person. Lemongrab was created by Princess Bubblegum
and is the first of her experiments that is said to have gone wrong. He eventually created his own
Earldom with help from his “mother” and led a tyrannical city-state with very few freedoms.
He regularly cannibalizes and consumes the lemon people of his Earldom, sometimes for sustenance
and sometimes just for fun. Despite this, after being reborn as Lemongrab III he has shown to
mellow out substantially. He even helps his “mother” during the gum war, despite his protests
for her to “un-make him”. Despite his consistent claim that things are unacceptable, he does deem a
kiss from Lumpy Space Princess acceptable. He may feel the same way about his ranking on our list.
Now, gaining our Bronze Medal of Evil is Chris The Red Goobler from Solar Opposites.
Chris is a red gobbler, which is only created every 100,000th Goobler through
immense pain to the Shlrorpian who produces it. His sole goal in life is to kill Korvo
either directly or indirectly, and he comes close to doing this,
stressing him out substantially. However, after Terry and Korvo thwart him,
he escapes and seems to chill out thanks to his fiance Jen. Despite him chilling out,
he does cheat on Jen with Korvo and ends up vowing revenge on him because he felt bad about cheating.
Chris is consistently willing to do anything to complete his purpose and kills anyone or anything
in his way. If it wasn’t for the fact that this was legitimately his life’s purpose and what he
was made for, he would probably rank lower, but he has a pretty good spot on the list as is.
Snatching up the Silver Medal of Evil is Rick and Morty’s Rick Sanchez. Rick is a scientist
and dimensional traveller who takes his grandson Morty on his adventures throughout the universe.
Initially, his backstory is shrouded in mystery. However, we do get to see bits and pieces of it
throughout the series. He had a wife and daughter who were killed by an alternate universe version
of him in an attempt to make Rick understand and create inter-dimensional travel. Rick then goes
on a revenge trip, trying to avenge his family and kill the alternate version of him. He became
a weapons dealer and then became friends with both Birdperson and Squanchy, the three of them
forming a dangerous band of misfits. He led the rebellion against the Galactic Federation which
had some pretty good results, enough to make him more than enough enemies throughout the galaxy.
He then went on to murder dozens of alternate versions of himself, becoming what is known as
the quote-unquote “Rickest Rick.” Despite his hatred towards them, he is also responsible for
the creation of the Citadel and inadvertently the Council of Ricks. He then lands in an alternate
version of his daughter’s life and takes Morty on multiple adventures. He then gets a pretty
heavy god complex, even being called a god by multiple other people throughout the series for
various reasons. He is also responsible for the general mayhem that follows the Smith Family and
their travels in the galaxy. Rick is pretty bad and does not feel much remorse for his actions,
at least not initially. But he is still outclassed by our quite villainous gold medalist.
Finally, the Gold Medal of Evil goes to the main antagonist of Trover Saves The Universe,
Glorkon. Glorkon was once an Abstainer, a giant bird-like creature who is sworn to abstain from
interfering with any of the events in the universe. But Glorkon grew quite bored of
this place in the universe and wanted to stake his claim in the universe. While it is unknown exactly
what his initial plans were, it all came to a head with his final plan. He kidnaps Tom’s dogs
to use in place of the typical “power babies” that insert most people’s eyeholes. These quote-unquote
“power puppies” increase his power beyond his wildest dreams. He goes on to try and complete his
final goal, that being his dream to destroy the entire cosmos. He wants to destroy every planet
in the galaxy to flesh out and create his true “fetishist love”. He intends to create a giant
mass of genitals for unknown reasons but assumedly to enjoy their company to put it in a tame way. He
then created hundreds of thousands of clones of himself as guards amongst the many planets of
the cosmos to stop people from stopping his plan, as mentioned earlier. He uses the Power Puppies
to merge, destroy and create worlds for fun, even creating a planet made of just sugar for
no discernable reason. Glorkon is leagues ahead of Rick regarding evil intentions. While Rick
is selfish, Glorkon wants to destroy the cosmos for little more than his own personal pleasure.
But, don’t worry, the vast array of Justin Roiland’s
iconic voices are getting a few of our extra medals.
Firstly, grabbing our Darwin Medal for the dumbest
character in the series goes to Blendin Blandin, who gets tricked
both by Dipper and Mabel into leaving his time machine and by Bill into giving up his body.
Next, grabbing the Wrath Medal is our old friend Chris the Red Goobler,
whose literal life goal is to kill his creator and he is also shown as quite irritable.
Earning the Lust Medal is Oscar Fishtooth who has an unhealthy obsession and crush on
his classmate Bea which kind of falls into the creepy territory at times.
The Pride Medal goes to Rick Sanchez who literally sees himself as a god at times
Finally, the Envy Medal goes to Korvo
who is quite envious of Terry’s ability to make friends on Earth.
