As you can guess, the inspiration was the Back to the Future movies.

Rick and Morty's creation comes from Justin Roiland's short film titled 'The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti,' released a few years ago. That short film drew inspiration from the Marty and Doc characters in the movie Back to the Future, even sharing the same names. However, the short film had explicit content, so it is not recommended. Fortunately, Rick and Morty managed to distance itself from the inappropriate atmosphere of the short film.

Rick's constant burping habit comes from a recording room error:

Rick's characteristic of burping, a well-known element of the show, accidentally emerged. The show's producer and Rick's voice actor, Roiland, explains: "Around 2006, I was recording voice lines for 'The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti.' I was having a lot of fun. During a line, I accidentally burped. It was very funny and disgusting. At that moment, I thought, 'Let's see if I can intentionally do this in other lines.' Since that day, Rick's thing has been relentless burping.
To naturally burp sounding, Roiland drinks beer and water in the recording room.

The pilot episode of the show was written in just six hours:

It's safe to say that the pilot episode of Rick and Morty was rushed. The show's creators, Dan Harmon, who was working on 'Community' at the time, and Roiland needed to start working quickly because of their tight schedule. Roiland told Harmon, "If we don't start now, we won't be able to start for another three months. Come on, let's write it in about six hours or so." That's how the pilot episode of the show came to be in a hurry.

Morty is also voiced by the same person:
Roiland Morty

Justin Roiland, one of the creators of the show, voices both Rick and his shy grandson Morty Smith.

The show was initially going to be even shorter than what we see:

Although we are accustomed to the length of Turkish TV series, Roiland initially wanted to make each episode of the show only 11 minutes long. However, when the channel that would broadcast it, Adult Swim, demanded half-hour episodes, he had to change his decision.

The show's opening credits have some inspirations:

The iconic intro and theme music of Rick and Morty are a parody mixture of Doctor Who and Tintin.

Roiland tried everything for naturalness!

Rick is usually drunk in the show, so Roiland, in order to be more realistic, tried to get drunk before recording Rick's dialogues. However, it didn't go as planned, and he almost couldn't record anything.

Does Rick's daughter Beth's voice sound familiar?
Sarah

Sarah Chalke, who portrayed Elliot in 'Scrubs' and Stella in 'How I Met Your Mother' (one of Ted's ex-girlfriends), voices Rick's daughter Beth.

Pay more attention to Rick's scenes in the car:

This is not the best example, but... In scenes where all the other characters in the car wear seat belts, Rick never wears one.

Pay attention to the sounds when Rick is in any vehicle:
bottles

Whenever we see Rick in a vehicle with the door open in the show, we notice the clinking of empty alcohol bottles and the sound of them spilling.

There is also a Breaking Bad reference:

The way Rick says the word 'bitch' is inspired by Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad. Jesse is one of the legendary characters associated with this word.

In the names of the episodes, the name 'Rick' often appears:

Wordplay with the name 'Rick' is often done in episode titles. For example, 'Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind,' 'A Rickle in Time,' 'The Rickshank Rickdemption.' To speak in numbers, 16 out of 31 episode titles involve wordplay with 'Rick.'

We only saw Rick's last name once:

We saw Rick's last name, Sanchez, only in the title of the episode 'Big Trouble In Little Sanchez' from the second season.

Walter White almost appeared in the show:

In the early stages of the show, auditions were held for Bryan Cranston (Walter White) from the famous Breaking Bad series to voice Jerry.

One episode was released on Instagram before TV:

The 8th episode of Rick and Morty's 1st season, titled 'Rixty Minutes,' was shared on Instagram in the form of 109 videos, each lasting 15 seconds, before being broadcast on the Adult Swim TV channel.

All intros for Mr. Poopybutthole were altered:

Although the character Mr. Poopybutthole was first seen in the episode 'Total Rickall' (Season 2, Episode 4), the producers edited each episode's intro to make it seem like Mr. Poopybutthole had always been in the show.

Rick and Morty made a guest appearance on The Simpsons:

In the last episode of Season 26 of The Simpsons, Rick and Morty make a guest appearance in the scene where they sit in the chair in the show's intro.

Fans gathered to write letters to the channel:

In 2016, loyal followers of the show wrote a letter to the Adult Swim channel where Rick and Morty airs. In the letter, they requested the green light for a feature-length film for Rick and Morty. However, judging by the situation, it seems.
