Mr. Meeseeks is a fictional character from the American animated science fiction sitcom Rick and Morty. He is a creation of Rick Sanchez, a being summoned from a Meeseeks Box with the sole purpose of fulfilling a single request.

Visually, a Mr. Meeseeks appears as a tall, slender, light blue creature with a simple, almost cartoonish design. They are voiced by Justin Roiland, co-creator of the show.

Each Mr. Meeseeks exists only to complete their assigned task. Once that task is achieved, they vanish from existence. However, if their task proves difficult or impossible to complete, they suffer immense psychological distress and can become unstable and even violent. The longer a Meeseeks exists, the more mentally unstable they become, making them a potential danger to themselves and others.

The character's purpose within the narrative is often to highlight the absurdity of seeking simple solutions to complex problems and the potential consequences of unchecked desires. The catchphrase "I'm Mr. Meeseeks, look at me!" has become a popular meme, representing the character's eagerness to fulfill their purpose.
