VOTD: ‘Rick And Morty’ Finally Meets ‘Back To The Future’ In Necessary Mash-Up
It’s no secret that the hit Adult Swim seriesRick and Mortytakes plenty of inspiration fromBack to the Futureprotagonists Doc and Marty. In fact, the series began as an animated parody from co-creatorJustin RoilandcalledThe Adventures of Doc and Mharti, which co-creatorDan Harmonhas referred to as “a bastardization, a pornographic vandalization” of the classic time traveling trilogy.
Well, now everything has come full circle as a fan of both the aforementioned animated series and film franchise has created aBack to the Future Rick and Mortymash-up that probably actually exists as a feature length film in some parallel universe.
Here’s the mash-up from YouTube userYalda M(viaHitFix):
The only difference between Rick and Morty and Doc and Marty, besides the obvious vulgar nature of the characters' adventures, is that the latter duo aren’t related at all. And in some ways, that actually makes the relationship between Doc and Marty even stranger. Because what’s an old scientist doing being friends with a high school kid? Though anewBack to the Futurecomic bookwill aim to answer that question once and for all.
Anyway, because of how much the characters fromBack to the FutureinspiredRick and Morty, the voices of Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox match perfectly with their alternate animated versions. Though part of the appeal of the realRick and Mortycomes from the fact that co-creator Justin Roiland does such a good job voicing both of the titular characters, complete with some of the most gross burps we’ve ever heard on television.
