rick and morty could be funny but it got really obnoxious with how it would just bitch about some kind of convention or trope as if that's automatically funny, with the characters whining the whole time while they go off to do some thing
it's like, cynical 2000s internet humor

I feel like that's a very reductive way to describe it. Yeah, it pokes fun at tropes and cliches a lot, and it's very self-aware in terms of genre and fourth-wall breaking...but it's also got its own sense of cleverness and creativity in play.
