south park 100 %

i used to like family guy, and still think seasons 2-4 where funny, and even early on I could see why it got cancelled the first go around, I mean when the Simpsons drop references they're not every 5 seconds and alot more clever, I mean Martin playing an arcade game of My Dinner with Andre, hilarious, Family Guy only uses pop culture references, it has bascially always been the dumbed down Simpsons, with very medicore plots.

Now South Park is a totally diffrent animal than the Simpsons, and superiror to Family Guy in every way, even the animation is better, at least South Parks purposely crappy animation adds to the humor, Family Guy's animation is just lazy

I like Family Guy. I think it's weird because it pisses me off when someone talks about it (I'm just sick of hearing about it), but I watch it all the time and it keeps me entertained.
As for South Park, I have the same opinion. Plus, it doesn't entertain me at all.

Sorry, but as far as animated sitcoms go, I would have to say The Simpsons.

Family Guy basically is a copy of The Simpsons, but with worse writers.

And South Park is terrible. There's no clever humor at all, just the little kids cussing and acting like douchebags. And everyone thinks its funny.

South Park is extremely clever, far more so than Family Guy which, in my opinion, is just a load of random jokes that don't bare any relevance to the plot.

Although, saying that, i can't stand the majority of the first two seasons of South Park, everything from then on is pure gold though.

South Park is what Family Guy wishes it was.

Family Guy was once funny, but over time it has gotten worse, whereas with South Park the argument can be made that it has only gotten better with time.

Just plain laugh more with South Park, and isn't that the point?

Family guy used to be good until they showed all the same episodes back to back every night. The new family guy is also lame not that funny as it used to be. South Park is amazing and keeps getting better with age. If you like Seth's cartoon's tho watch American Dad it's a great show.

next time I see South Park is on, I'll get it another chance. I just don't get all the hype.
and although most Family Guy humor is easily understood it is still things most people wouldn't think of, which is why I think it's funny.

Couldn't be farther from the truth. You probably just aren't paying close enough attention. Either way, these statements are inaccurate and can be refuted pretty easily, if you'd like some examples.

I fail to see any clever humor in South Park at all. Just 30 minutes of obnoxious voices, crude "humor", and lack of substance.

Crude humor is only a small portion of South Park; it's really just icing on the cake for a more complex comedic setup. You really need to look beyond the crude humor to see the cleverness of South Park's approach. More often than not the plots are analogous to current issues in the news (canada on strike --> writer's strike), or just social satire in general (Make Love Not Warcraft, Overlogging, Trapped in the Closet, etc.). It's the clever satire that has earned them a Peabody award and numerous Emmy's, not the crude humor. I, myself, enjoy laughing at stupid jokes that are easily set up (this quality overlaps with Family Guy), as well as comedy that requires a little more though. South Park executes this perfectly because they combine both, though most people write the show off only for its crude jokes. However, to say that South Park lacks substance is just untrue; it's there, you just aren't looking hard enough.

Matt Stone: Yeah, Family Guy’s just not a show I like. It’s funny, when we did that [Family Guy parody] show, it was more to point out that the similarities between our two shows is that they’re animated, and it stops there. They feel like very different shows. Family Guy, to comedy people, it’s kind of what that band the Offspring is to real punk rockers.
Trey Parker: The biggest thing is that you essentially kill yourself for a show—it’s like, you’ve got to die for it. When you’re an artist, you’ve got to say to yourself, “This is all that matters, and if it kills me, so be it.” And then you have the Family Guy writing staff who come in 9-to-5, write their gags and go home. But what I absolutely must say to you is that this totally, purely 100 per cent completely, comes from a place of jealousy. Because when we’re sitting there in our room, it’s three in the morning and we’re 12 hours from having to air and we don’t have, like, a third act, wondering why we do this to ourselves, we’re just totally jealous of their job. Seth MacFarlane is basically in the same position as us except he hasn’t written a fucking thing in four years. I wish I was him.
