Adventure Time
TV Shows Like Rick and Morty
Adventure Time continues the age-old tradition of filling a children’s show with messed up social commentary and jokes that will go way over their head. Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland has cited the series as an inspiration and has also voiced several characters in the show. One of the main pulls of Adventure Time is its world filled with colorful characters, something which Rick and Morty also places an emphasis on. The world of Oo could easily be the setting for a Rick and Morty episode, what with the dark messaging often housed within many of its episodes.
The two shows are definitely positioned towards different audiences but there is some middle ground for fans of surrealist and zany humor. Give it a few episodes to get eased into the more playful tone, and you’ll soon be drawn into the increasingly strange lives of Finn and Jake.
