Like I said, I want to like it, but am prepared for it to just not be my thing.
But off the bat, it seemed like the only joke is how awful Rick is. And once you tell that joke, there's nothing left. "Oh look! Rick is being awful again!!! This time with a balloon! Oh and see how befuddled Morty gets!"
"It's Always Sunny" is that same joke, but there are 5 people to work through of differing levels from episode to episode. Plus live action acting cartoonishly awful is different than actual cartoons acting cartoonishly awful.
It's why I like the dichotomy that shows up so often in Adventure Time, where cartoons act more mundane or acknowledge the ridiculousness of the situation from time to time.
