Take The Venture Brothers and remove all of the plot, character depth, intriguing story-lines, and nostalgic hilarity and you will be left with Superjail. A vain, somewhat sadistic Dr. Ventur-I mean Warden, a goody two shoes Hank and Dea-I mean Jared, a robot, and a killing machine Broc- I mean Alice.
Superjail seems to me to be stuck in the early '90's "look how naughty we can be" stage of cartoons. If this show had come out pre-Ren and Stimpy, it would've been a hit, because there was nothing else like it. Only problem is, it's 20 years down the road and there have been about a dozen other shows since that offer more than just violence and penis jokes.
I would like to say however, that regardless of how ridiculously over the top and unoriginal it gets, there are a few halfway decent episodes, usually revolving around non-main characters. and it does make you want to see the end of the episode, just to see if it actually will get better or make sense of all the mindlessness and crude humor. It won't, but it still can be an interesting experience
