Neither are even close to that, not even the best of "adult" animation [I mean, no BoJack Horseman? Really?].

Also, the comparison straw-mans Rick & Morty a lot, and based off Cliff-Notes read, it's almost making me want to go with R&M, which tended to be funnier and more insightful when it did right. But I won't. I know perfectly well Venture Bros. have fewer misses and a greater volume overall and probably would've gone with if you had just given me those two options.

But since you left out the real good ones [including once again, BoJack Horseman, but also that one show about a boy, his bison, and Flame-throwing Nazis, oh and the one about a boy, his dog, and a Candy-throwing Henry Kissinger...I'm stopping right there] I'll go with "dumb cartoons".

Not sure what the other one is, but Rick and Morty is the GOAT.

Bojack is great too, but way less "funny" than VB or R&M.  It's sad almost as much as it's funny.  If I wanted sad in my cartoons I'd watch that Japanese movie about the butterflies.

I'm guessing the second one is Adventure Time and I have no idea what boy and his bison is.

Venture Brothers for me took a while to get into before appreciating the full extent of its absurdity and how great it’s universe was. That said, it’s less laugh out loud for me than R&M, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’ll go with VB as the superior cartoon, if only because I don’t want to be another Rick & Morty shill, and the”message” of R&M is a negative one. Plus, Brock Sampson!

EDIT: Read the article, and it basically echoed my view of the main differences between the shows and where Venture comes out on top: lore, fan base, and message.

I really enjoy both, tough to choose
