The Genius of Improvisation
Rick and Morty, created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Adult Swim, has become incredibly popular for its humor and creativity. Some of the best moments in the series were completely unscripted, showcasing the talent and wit of the creators and the voice actors. Roiland's ability to embody the characters and riff new lines freely, alongside the creativity of Harmon and the talented artists and animators, led to iconic moments for the show.

The concept of an irreverent parody of the 'Back to the Future' relationship between Marty McFly and Doc Brown was originally Roiland's idea. This laid the foundation for the show's unique brand of humor and improvisational style, setting it apart from other animated series. The ability to retroactively give greater meaning and purpose to throwaway pieces of dialogue is a testament to the show's creative genius.
