Archers the only one i found funny,.

Rick and Morty is really creative, but its humour falls so flat for me. Bojack horsemen has a good tone and some good criticism, but i don't find funny either.

Gumball is consistently funny as fuck so I'd call it the best animated comedy now.

Bojack is the best show on that poll though.

Adventure Time is certainly the best of those shows and has the funniest moments, but I'm not sure it's a comedy.

I'd probably choose Bojack as the show that's intended to be comedy.

I'm guessing Tuca and Bertie is just a little too new to have much of a mainstream following compared to, say, Bojack

King of the Hill for its character development, staying grounded, and 13 seasons of quality. Easily one of the best animated shows ever.

Bob's Burgers is probably the best recent example.
Peak Futurama is up there with peak Simpsons.
Rick and Morty is just too different but still my favorite of all the choices.

Purgatory
Rick and Morty got the most laughs out of me, South Park is the most intelligent and subversive, Bojack, Adventure Time, Gumball, Bob's Burgers, Daria are great, King of the Hill is the one I respect the most with the best subversive characters, Futurama is cool, the McFarlane shows are okay fun. I need to watch Venture Bros and Gravity Falls.
I don't know, the ones that never fail to put me in a good mood are Gumball, Robot Chicken, and Regular Show.
A lot of good shit out there, but nothing like peak Simpsons.

Futurama, Archer, Boondocks (minus S4), King of the Hill and Black Dynamite the only ones I've watched enough of.

The comedy bits are the worst part of bojack. It's not particularly funny.

It's probably Rick and Morty but adventure time and gravity falls are my picks.

Archer now has more bad seasons than good seasons (Frisky Dingo is better), Adventure Time is cute but I never found it funny, Bojack manages drama the best and probably has the smartest jokes, Rick and Morty (especially season 1) provided the most laughs per minute.

I've also really enjoyed Aqua Teen Hunger Force but I've only watched clips. Never found Bob's Burger's, American Dad/Family Guy or Futurama that good tbh

Venture Bros is most consistent so far. I loved the first few seasons of Archer, but it's been bad for years. Frisky Dingo was genius, but 2 seasons isn't enough to be in contention. Bojack is great but more of a drama to me. Rick and Morty is very good but only 3 seasons in. Futurama never recaptured the quality of seasons 1-4.

I still need to watch Bob's Burgers.

OP's damn right.

When it comes to modern animation, there's Bojack Horseman and then there's everything else.

It's Venture Bros. as far as I'm concerned.

Peak Futurama was very good, but Rick & Morty is probably better. Enjoyed peak Archer as well, but it's probably not quite on that level. I do want to get around to Bojack Horseman at some point.
