The funny thing I haven't seen people really talk about is that Rick and Morty is, for better or for worse, 100% a modernization of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Everything people don't like about it is what they wouldn't like about Douglas Adams if he were new

And the one thing it overwhelmingly reminds me of is HHGG The R&M plot with the nesting universes used as power sources (the Microverse/Miniverse/Teenyverse) is very close to Adams' bit about the aorist rods The latter isn't really any less nihilistic or cynical than the former
-
I do think people have rose-colored glasses about HHGG Like you know R&M's random one off joke about a "Boob Planet" literally is also a thing in HHGG (in the Magrathean virtual catalogue of custom planets, "We are not proud")

I think actually my main problem with Rick and Morty is: I kind of enjoy the show. I EXTREMELY DISLIKE a vocal chunk of the fan base, especially those that seem to think Rick is *cool and someone to emulate*.

I think probbly my favorite part (of what I'd watched so far) was from.. season 2? 3? The pickle Rick episode, where the therapist pegs Rick dead-to-rights in *two sentences*, and leaves him utterly speechless.
