The worst thing about the fanbase is that they have some unrealistic expectations of the show. It's just a dumb cartoon and it wasn't even THAT good to begin with. Stop treating it like it's meant to be some kind of an epic masterpiece, the pinnacle of sci-fi, or the voice of a generation. The novelty has worn off, so you can either enjoy the show for what it is - and always was, or move on to something else.
Don't get me wrong - I like "Rick and Morty" well enough, but I've consistently enjoyed just about half of the episodes and jokes, whereas the other half made me cringe.
About Mr. Poopybutthole, his name has never bugged me, it's alright if you don't like it. Actually, I thought his name was funny at first, but you know that every joke stops being funny after you hear it more times. It's not a bad thing to give characters a funny name, as long as it's not offensive and you do good jokes with it. To the show's credit, it doesn't overuse the name, but there are other problems with this character. They made him a wife that follows the Minnie mouse principle, that means looking like the male character in drag. Seriously, they didn't even give her a different hat, and that is a masculine hat. I have nothing against females wearing men's clothing, I myself want to do it sometimes, but that doesn't excuse laziness, the hat could've been different and still masculine. They also made the baby look exactly like the father. You can't get away with this, unless you're using it for a good joke or you give an in universe explanation. They also tried to make a joke about Mr. Poopybutthole living a normal life, which isn't funny. It could've been funny if we saw other people's reactions to his name and/or appearance.
