Whether Picasso ever said it or not, the maxim holds because throughout all recorded history, the greatest artists, writers, and thinkers have stolen from those who came before them to create! Heck, Shakespeare was shameless. He didn’t think twice about stealing plot-lines for some of his most beloved plays. So we guess, βRick and Mortyβ – one of the best adult-themed animated shows out there β is in good company because their writers steal all the time. And when they steal, they steal from the best. They’ve stolen from βStephen King,β βMad Max,β and βJurassic Park.β They’ve ripped entire plot lines from classic works of fiction like βDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydeβ and βThe Venture Bros.β – a Cartoon Network show that premiered back in the 00s with more than a few similarities to βRick and Morty.β In this video we are going to run through some of the countless homages, references, and storylines the show have taken from shows, films, and literature that have come before. And just to be clear, when we say they’ve stolen from other shows, we mean that as a compliment. If the writers of βRick and Mortyβ are guilty of anything is taking existing material and putting their own, Rickdicoulous spin on it
