I really think I almost hate it. Rick is such an irritating character.

He's not funny in a traditional way I guess. What other adult swim shows have you watched? Seems like you're just having trouble with the genre.

I was gonna say. Futurama and South Park are very different animals. The Adult Swim stuff hangs its hat on absurd gratuitous violence.

I find it kind of odd, almost weird how South Park has suddenly decided to become an "arc-driven" show. I mean, look at the trolling one: almost the whole season. It worked well, but somehow, it's not the SP I remember.

I've seen Archer, which I thought was way more funny and which I didn't get tired of in the same way. I only enjoyed Rick & Morty for ½ a season, then I started feeling like I'd had more than enough of it. Watched 1½ seasons in total.
Then there's Robot Chicken, which I thought was mostly not funny.

*Assuming these are Adult Swim, but I don't actually know.

Re: South Park, this was absolutely spot on, pissed myself the first time I saw it and I've never watched the show before.

Archer is an FX show but also pretty good. Robot Chicken is an adult swim show but is also total garbage. Have you seen Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman, Superjail, Home Movies or anything like that?

I haven't seen Robot Chicken in a million years, but I remember the episodes I saw in 2005/2006-ish being pretty funny.

I think I know how the characters look in Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Harvey Birdman, but I haven't ever watched any episodes. Never even heard of the other ones.

@Janzs Can't say I ever thought it was anything but stupid and forced.
