Behind the scenes[]
The Morty that Bill is referring to is the character from the adult animated comedy Rick and Morty. The titular characters were originally conceived as parody versions of Back to the Future's main characters, Doc Brown and Marty McFly, hence Bill's response to the Doctor misidentifying him.
