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

Never watched Rick and Morty, so can't judge I read HHGttG a long time ago, so it's hard to judge that either - I can certainly see the theme as a bleak nihilism under a veneer of comedy. It was also very well crafted and, even the "drunk assholes" were presented affectionately

I'd argue hitchhikers isnt even "nothing matters" its "figure out what matters to you"

This all works right up until you let fan interpretation into the mix.

The original short that inspired it was based on Back to the Future and then they tried to change it as much as they could because they actually didn't want to get sued Harmon and Roiland have discussed the parallel with the Doctor and Companion dynamic at length in interviews
