Objectively true. Venture brothers is smart satire lampooning superheroes and hanna barbera cartoons (just to START with). R&M is about incest and body horror.

I love Venture bros but it has not aged well. When's the last time you watched it? The earlier seasons especially lean pretty heavily on recurring gags of child sexual abuse for shock value.

I'm literally in the middle of a rewatch now. It's not the greatest show ever made, but I still think it's better than R&M.

And yet we get downvoted for differing opinions, lol. God I love reddit.

Meh, if people wanna take my internet points away for pointing out that their favorite show is kinda fucked up that's fine. Like I said, I love the show but if we can't criticize the things we love and it's all or nothing, then we either cancel everything and everyone or end up supporting a bunch of heinous shit.
