      The funny thing I haven't seen people really talk about is that Rick and Morty is, for better or for worse, 100% a modernization of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Everything people don't like about it is what they wouldn't like about Douglas Adams if he were new

      Like the pitch for HHGG is "Doctor Who if the Doctor were a completely irresponsible dipshit" (Ford in the original BBC series is deliberately Doctor-esque) and that's exactly what Rick and Morty is

          The original draft of HHGG as a radio play even has that grimdark idea of multiple timelines built into it It has Ford give Arthur a speech that he could easily take him to a parallel universe where the Earth wasn't destroyed but he'd just go insane from knowing the truth

          Once something's happened to you like watching your home planet be destroyed due to a bureaucratic error you can't ever be normal or convince yourself the world makes sense again You might as well become a universal hitchhiker like Ford (Who is a constantly drunk asshole)

          I'd even argue that Arthur Dent is a clear precursor to both Morty and Jerry, like Adams was being subversive and having the ordinary Earth everyman companion character not be all that appealing or great of a person

          Adams did write Doctor Who. It's apparently very good, too.

          And Adams would know. He wrote some of the best Doctor Who.

          Adams was partially inspired by Who, and did write several acclaimed episodes.
