Rick and Morty is an [adult swim] original that premiered in December 2013. Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, the series is based off of "The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti", a short on Channel 101 parodying Back to the Future.

Rick Sanchez, an alcoholic Mad Scientist, constantly pulls his grandson Morty into crazy sci-fi trips and wild scientific experiments. Morty's parents keep the old man around half-begrudgingly, as long as Morty stays in school. Besides, they have their own problems to solve.

Tropes used in Rick and Morty include:
  • Elseworld: Rick has the ability to travel through infinite dimensions, making this trope a natural occurrence in the show.
  • Scavenger World: An universe inspired by Mad Max is featured in "Rickmancing the Stone".
  • Time Travel: Averted. Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon have both stated that they won't be using time travel in the series.
