If you enjoy insane humor, space travel, and philosophical jabs, you're probably looking for shows that feel even a little bit like Rick and Morty. We’ve put together a list of animated projects featuring vibrant worlds, bizarre characters, and adventures that will leave you breathless.
Invader Zim
A cult dark comedy from Nickelodeon about an alien who dreams of destroying Earth… but first has to enroll in elementary school. A show with venomous humor, where organs are removed for breakfast and saving the planet is just a side effect of the madness. Perfect for those who enjoy black comedy and strange storylines.
Solar Opposites
The closest relative to Rick and Morty, from one of the creators of the show. Aliens are stranded on Earth and trying to survive while facing the absurdity of human society. Expect the same kind of weird jokes, frantic pacing, and a flood of insane little details that make you want to rewatch it over and over.
BoJack Horseman
Not a cartoon for kids, but a deep drama disguised as a comedy about depression, the emptiness of fame, and the struggle to become a better person. BoJack is basically Rick without a portal gun: cynical, destructive, and trapped in this reality. This show will make you laugh and cry at the same time.
Gravity Falls
At first glance, a cute cartoon about kids in a mysterious town. In reality — a true mystery packed with ciphers, conspiracy theories, and multi-layered plots. Lighthearted at the start, Gravity Falls will grip you by the heart by the end. And yes, it somehow manages to be both funny and scary at once.
Final Space
A story about an unlucky prisoner in space who suddenly finds himself involved in a war for the fate of the universe. Less cynical than Rick and Morty, but with a thoroughly developed universe, emotional depth, and powerful plot twists. Especially appealing to fans of classic sci-fi like Star Wars.
If you're craving more cosmic explosions, sarcasm, and absurdly close calls — these shows will deliver exactly what you need.
