/lit/ - Literature

Not strictly /lit/ related, but you fags will know it best.

Where do things like Hitchhiker's Guide, Futurama or Rick and Morty fall on the soft/hard sci-fi spectrum? On one hand, they are not rigorous at all and can pull out technology out of their asses when needed. On the other hands, they really do explore various philosophical and scientific concepts in order to use them as comedy devices ; the science in the is more than a backdrop. They are quite different from regular "wacky alien xD ayy lmao" sci-fi comedies like GotG or Men in Black.
Is there a name for this subgenre?
