In your case: no watch something else plotfag

does the plot do something? with 100+ episodes i tough something interesting would happen at some point...

The show gets progressively better and better until about episode 100 and then it holds steady aside from a few small duds in the back half. UY has a little bit of development plot wise beyond where you're at, but it's not much. You watch it for the plot of the day, not the overarching story. For what it's worth though, it does develop into one of the best episodic comedies. Episode 10 is the first great episode, and they become more frequent from there. The movies are a bit more plot heavy, and it does have a big old ending, but it's more about the wonder of episode to episode. Urusei Yatsura is best watched a little at a time, I watched one or two a day and it became a nice constant in my life for a while. Binging it is missing the point. Honest answer you can drop it at 30 if you really don't want to keep going, at that point you'll have seen the first season and the beginning of the second. If it's not for you at that point then it's not for you.

It's really not that good, I dropped it fast.
And I like Rumiko and prefer episodic shows way more than plot heavy ones.

We don't like youtubers around here, but this is the best video for the UY skeptical:

Personally I think UY is best experienced with every episode in order, this guy makes a compelling case for the show, and gives you a look at the types of stories you can expect from the show. The first season is pretty different from where it ends up, the show really finds it's groove in the second season.

It's my favorite Rumiko but I understand if you're gonna drop the show it's early on because the first season is the low point of the show, besides the final movie (not the ending, the one made after it to cash in) which is not the best.

That makes sense.
To draw a Star Trek parallel: TNG is the greatest television ever and the first season is boring crap to the point that you need a guide telling you which half a dozen episodes are worth watching.
Will use that nerd's UY guide if I give season 1 another shot.

It's an easy parallel to make. Other than the "first season" similarity, the joy of both shows is how much they pull off with their premises. Urusei Yatsura does comedy, romance, horror, drama, mystery, action, slice of life, science fiction, historical drama, basically anything you can think of. Whole shows have been inspired by individual episodes of Urusei Yatsura, it doesn't get stale because you never know what it'll do next.

Yes, its a great series, you'll miss it when you finish watching it

But don't expect progression, its not that kind of series

No, there's no plot progression and you're not supposed to binge it. You watch 1 or 2 eps per day to see what kind of concepts they will explore. It's episodic but you will not find such variety in any other episodic anime. Urusei Yatsura is literally the one anime where anything is possible without feeling like "lol random bullshit lol". The OVAs are just like the episodes. The movies honestly are kinda overrated. It's just people who are too lazy to get into the series and they only watch the Beautiful Dreamer so they can say they've seen UY. Episode 78 is ten times better than that snoozefest. So, either watch the series or gtfo. Easy mode: Watch the soulless remake first when it comes out, then go back to the original.
