There have been a handful, if not a bushel full, of philosophical breakdowns and dissections of Rick and Morty. While there are often dozens of jokes a minute, existential quandaries pervade the many universes of the show.
So, series co-creator Dan Harmon sat down and gave his own personal take on what Rick and Morty says about the search for the meaning of it all. Please enjoy it here.
Rick and Morty is not only one of the best animated comedy series around. It’s one of the best shows on television in league with the most celebrated, decorated hour long dramas.
Sure, it’s hilarious, but Rick and Morty also uses its ultra-clever, sharp sense of humor to delve as deep into the human condition as it possibly can go. While not filled with as many dramatic moments as BoJack Horseman, creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland examine existential crises with an equally deft hand.
One Will Schoder points this out in his video essay on Rick and Morty-Finding Meaning in Life. After watching it, you might appreciate Rick and Morty even more.
