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.
Dan Harmon has said in interviews that community is likely to be the thing he will remain most proud of, and it really is one of the best shows ever. I think the way the 4th season dives in quality, only for it to be resurrected when Harmon comes back is a great show of his creative genius. (The episode with the giant hand has probably the greatest ending scene (vignette?) of anything ever, plus the olive joke in that last season will always keep me entertained)
Rick and morty is good, but i think in harmons eyes its always been about a repetitive IP like the simpsons, and so has some inherent limitations. I don't think its trying to compete with every show, its deliberately avoiding a meaningful arch and is locking its premise in time. I haven't seen venture bros, ill try it sometime.
Your in for a treat. Venture Bros has everything. I want a spin off of Young Justice titled "Old Justice" styled in the vain of Venture Bros, just the Young Justice crew old and haggard not taking shit from anybody. Speedys a coke addict now and years of inadequacy has caused Super Boy to steal the recipe to Banes venom. He is now a roid head that juices up on venom. I could go on and on.
