Animation is difficult and time-consuming. My gut tells me that most adult animated series aren't going to have a lot of staying power, so the animation style is a reflection of this; cheap and disposable.

Something like Venture Bros. looks sharp as a knife because the creators wanted to put as much effort into the visual production as they did the writing.

This is part of it. The other part is... Most adult animation, unless it's something like Invincible, which is a superhero gig, doesn't need a lot of awe inspiring animation. Look at the adult animation of the past (and present?). King of the Hill, South Park, etc. Most scenes are just the characters standing around talking, so you don't need to break the animation budget even remotely.
