Which is better family guy or simpsons???

Personally i don't know because there are some really funny jokes that happen occasionally in family guy and there are some kinda funny jokes they say alot on the simpsons. but the sipsons are more old and original so i say..


The simpsons gets it

[FanGirl]

This is an old heated discussion on these boards. Lives have been lost fighting for both sides. You might want to let sleeping dogs lie.

[By-tor]

The simpsons gets itAnd, of course, you don't. :rolleyes:

[acid_soda]

I don't even watch TV anymore. Since I got broadband, the Internet has become my TV.

[phit_demon]

Well The Simpsons has to win it, since it's not written by manatees.

[FanGirl]

At the Family Guy panel at Comicon, someone asked about the infamous South Park episode. They said the loved it and they know refer to flashback jokes as Manatee jokes.

That's grand!

Although, I take the same stance as Ryall on Family Guy. I just can not get into it.

The South Park episode really summed it up (quote mine based on the episode):

"See that, a joke based on the plot and story line.."

Family guy has no plot, it sucks. The few times I have watched it, I end up turning to reruns of Good Times or Roseanne. I would rather read one of MC's articles and listen to Celine Dion then watch another episode of Family Guy.

[kiki5711]

What about the "The American Dad" I think that's what it's called.
Do any of you like that? That guy is so stuffed up it makes me sad to know that it's so true of how many men actually act like that.

I'm for family guy.

[Matthew]

"The American Dad" is the same as "The Family Guy". Same writers, same stupidity.

[kiki5711]

"The American Dad" is the same as "The Family Guy". Same writers, same stupidity.

At least The Family Guy is more likeable. To me anyway. The other one reminds me of Mr. Goody two shoes pretend.

[Phrazer]

Family Guy FTW.

[FanGirl]

Family Guy For The Win?

[Matthew]

No, I think it means Forschungszentrum Telekommunikation Wien.

[DCH101]

If this was ten years ago The Simpsons would have won, but the show has become stale. I choose Family Guy, but South Park beats them both.

[Matthew]

Do you even have a constant train of thought, or do you ramble incoherently in all of your conversation?

You know the rules...

WHAT!?!?

[BizarroPunisher]

My pick is...

Venture Bros.

But seriously, I choose Family Guy. Although Venture kicks both of their asses right now.

[BAMSS04]

I know that we have had this conversation before...but....

I think South Park is far better than either of them!

If pressed to choose between the two I'd say Family guy. At least right now at this moment. Now 10 years ago.... The Simpsons hands down.

[acid_soda]

10 years ago...Family Guy hadn't aired yet.

I realize that The Simpsons, at one time, was more original and creative than Family Guy, but I've just gotten too many laughs out of FG not to pick it.

The Boondocks is the best adult oriented cartoon there is on TV, right now.

I don't know, in my opinion The Venture Bros. is the best show on TV right now (adult-oriented or otherwise). I'll watch The Boondocks occasionally but I'm not a huge fan. Oh well, that's just my opinion.

Agreed,...and I still prefer Family guy over Simpsons...

[BAMSS04]

10 years ago...Family Guy hadn't aired yet.

Yes, thank you for pointing that out. Needless to say, I think the Simpsons 10 years ago, was funnier than Family Guy is right now. Lets face it though, Stewie rocks.

Which matters not because South Park rules all.

[Dave]

since i don't watch the family guy all that much, i have a question about the show?

Do the new episodes look different somehow? i've run across some eps recently that look like they were animated by a different company of something. the characters look a little off... Also, did the daughter voice actor change?

Simpsons over Fam Guy.

Boondocks sucks

Tom goes to the Mayor rules the school.

Yeah, They were funnier ten years ago, but now they're just lame.

[BAMSS04]

No, the show has the same cast. They still have the same animators too, I think.

It is just not as funny as it used to be.

[Omaru]

Also, did the daughter voice actor change?


The only one I can answer, season 1 had the daughter voiced by the extremely hot Lacey Chabert.

For some reason they ditched her for the second season and it's been the same actress since, I kinda prefer the second voice, she fits the chacter more.

[FanGirl]

If you were to put up the best episode of Simpsons against the best episode of Family Guy, I think Simpsons would win by a landslide. However, the best episode of Simpsons versus best episode of South Park might to be tough to call.

[Robbo_the_Hood]

However, the best episode of Simpsons versus best episode of South Park might to be tough to call."Last Exit to Springfield" versus "Scott Tillerman Must Die?" That's a toughy, but I'll give it to the Springfieldanites.

[acid_soda]

Scott tennermen must die was not the best episode! that has to be the Chef Episode.

[FanGirl]

Everyone has a favorite and what they think is the best episode. That's why I didn't give an example. I personally think "Kenny Dies" is one of if not their best. My favorite Simpsons has to be either the epsiode about the Radioactive Man movie or wehn Homer thinks he sees and alien. I quote those episodes the most.

[legolas86]

If you're comparing shows as they are right now, I have to agree with many posters on this string that South Park kicks both their asses.

But since Family Guy grew stale a lot quicker than The Simpsons did (although it can still sometimes be damn funny) and too self-referential for its own good, than overall The Simpsons still beats 'em all (disregarding many episodes over the last 10 years or so, maybe less).

Oh, and Venture Bros. is damn funny too. And Robot Chicken (at times).

[jjcourtright]

No, the show has the same cast. They still have the same animators too, I think.

It is just not as funny as it used to be. Jesus, it must really suck now.

You guys are crazy. "Homer's Enemy" is the best episode. Or maybe "Homer Phobia."

[phit_demon]

No way, Selma's Choice (the one with Duff Gardens) is my fav.

Man In White Coat: (handing Selma multiple pills) "Give her this, then this, and then these"

Selma: "Thank you, Doctor".

Man In White Coat: "Oh, I'm not a doctor."

Oh the classic Homer line: "Homercles cares not for beans!"

South Park rules all though, but since there's no new episodes til October, I'm currently obsessing over Venture Bros, which I think is the only show ever to rival the big SP. There are so many ridiculously likable characters in it that I can't decide who my favourite is. I think I've started a Irish Venture Bros revolution, cos it's not on over here but I've still managed to spread it to the four corners of our little rock.
Zod bless illegal downloading and external hard drives. :D

[DarthMaulRat]

I think when you ask for favorite South Park episodes your going to get a large variety of answers. Personally my fav. is the Super Friends vs. David Blaine.

[jjcourtright]

No way, Selma's Choice (the one with Duff Gardens) is my fav.

Man In White Coat: (handing Selma multiple pills) "Give her this, then this, and then these"

Selma: "Thank you, Doctor".

Oh the classic Homer line: "Homercles cares not for beans!" That would also be the one with, "Oh, I can't stay mad at you." if memory serves.

[Dave]

Yep that's the one with the 10 foot sub. That Episode gets my vote as best.

[moldytoaster]

simpsons

[BizarroPunisher]

What movie do you think will (as soon as Simpsons comes out) be best? The choices are...

Family Guy: Stewie's Untold Story

The Simpsons Movie

South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut

I gotta say, no matter how good the Simpsons movie is, it can only tie South Park, and South Park beats the pants off the Family Guy movie (although it was really funny).

[FanGirl]

*in Randal's tone* Family Guy movie sucked ass. They seem to think what makes Stewie funny is the gay references. No, what makes Stewie funny is the world domination and his death to Lois antics. I laughed a little in the beginning and then the jokes got fewer and fewer and by the end of the movie I couldn't tell you what I laughed at in the beginning.

South park, however, is awesome. I walked out of the theater and thought - I think they might have offended me. I went back and saw it again and was like - Nope. Nevermind. Movie Rocks.

[BAMSS04]

Trey Parker and Matt Stone rock the house down. Though, to try and compare South Park to the Simpsons is, well, silly. Two differant shows with two differant tastes, but I'll give you my opinion. Though I give the simpsons credit for starting the movement( and it is more than deserved), South Park took the ball and flat put the simpsons to shame. Of course, this is merely my opinion. Again, I tend to be on the same humor level with South Park. I have seen maybe, maybe...2 episodes of South Park that I was dissappointed with, and even then I still laughed. That is in 9 years. Family Guy in 4 seasons has already put out like 10 episodes that I thought were crap and didn't laugh at all at. The past few seasons of the Simpsons were completely forgetable IMO.

[phit_demon]

That would also be the one with, "Oh, I can't stay mad at you." if memory serves.
That joke gave my friend detention....true story.
Back in the day when I was a high-school student, myself and my friend were laughing about this gag in class so much that he was moved up to the front row to seperate us. Every time our teacher turned to the blackboard I made the noise Homer makes when he takes a bite out of said 10-Footer (kinda sounds like "Ahmm"...you know the one). This sent my friend into hysterics so bad that he couldn't stop even when our teacher lost it and started shouting at him to shut up. Eventually he gave him two days detention, while my friend continued to convulse with tears streaming down his face. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I think it could be a big reason why that ep is my favourite.

SURLY: Hey, Surly lookes out for one guy: Surly!

SELMA: Oh, sorry Surly.

SURLY: Shut up!

[Omaru]

I have seen maybe, maybe...2 episodes of South Park that I was dissappointed with
The terrance and Phillip special is the only one I hated, I even like the Great Expectationes episode.

[BAMSS04]

The Jackoffasours and there is another that I can't quite remember.

[phit_demon]

...Terrance and Phillip special...

...The Jackoffasours...

I liked both of them, especially Not Without My Anus.
I think people might kinda hold a grudge against it because of the whole "April fool" thingy, but as an episode in it's own right it makes me laugh my ass off.
C'mon...Ugly Bob!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/44/Ubspark.jpg/100px-Ubspark.jpg

...Great Expectations...
Malcolm McDowell has two lines in that ep that turned him from mere mortal to Demi-God in my eyes:

"Hello, I'm a British person."

"They all lived happily ever after, except for Pocket, who died of Hepatitis B."

Pure. Fried. Gold.

[TeamRamRod]

Family Guy. I don't compare South Park with either Simpsons or Family Guy simply because SP's on cable and gets a lot more wiggle room to work with.

[Yaminomalex]

Family Guy was really funny in 2000 when nobody watched it.

It ran it's course and so has Simpsons.

[Adam Bomb]

There's no way Family Guy has run its course already. I think the episodes have actually gotten funnier. I pick Family Guy over Simpsons even though I was a Simpsons freak. And I def think both of these shows are better than South Park that I feel is on a downward spiral lately.

Seth Mcfarlane actually spoke at Harvard the past year in the voice of Stewie and commented on the south park episodes. I believe the quote was "Don't make a tv that has no plot and jokes that has nothing to do with the story. South Park got it right by saying those jokes are just there to be "funny". That is a shallow indulgence that South Park avoids and I salute them for that."

And he's got a point. How much sense does it make that people are arguing over a cartoon having random jokes! It's a fucking cartoon, it's not like you're watching like an episode of Sopranos or ER. Cartoons are meant to be funny, it shouldn't matter if they have random jokes and a bad story line. Family Guy does its job by being hilarious. And if you can't get over the fact that the jokes have nothing to do with the story than please remove your head from your own ass.

[brodie696969]

I haven't enjoyed The Simpsons for quite a few years now. As far as Simpsons vs. Family Guy, I'll take Family Guy. But for cartoon shows overall, I prefer Beavis and Butt-head, South Park, and Aeon Flux.

[Eva L'Angel]

Family Guy. Stewy is the best. He says all the things I would If I were a maniacal infant. The Simpsons ... they're jaded.
Plus, I love the completely random segements in the Family Guy that have nothing to do with anything. That show actually makes me laugh out loud.

The quality of the show and the fact that it is animated or not have little to do with each other.

Bradman...just because you don't "get" the humor...Doesn't mean it's not funny... I am of course refering to South Park.

[Lotism]

Hmmm. I liked The Simpsons when I was younger and lately I like Family Guy more. Simpsons is more story oriented while Family Guy is very random. Both great shows.

[puggso_32]

Family guy has gotten better over time...Simpsons has been getting worse and worse for years!

[Antonio_Bay]

Since discovering Family Guy early last year its become one of my favorite shows; although the season currently airing here (season 5? One with Blue Harvest) seems to be in a bit of a not-that-funny slump.

[ratm1966]

The only thing I hate about Family Guy is that with all of the gazillion channels that aire the re-runs, they all run the same ones over and over again. Hell, there are like 4 or 5 seasons and it is rare to see an episode that isn't part of a group of about 20 that they always show.

[phit_demon]

Family guy has gotten better over time...
Really??? Yikes!

[puggso_32]

Really??? Yikes!

Me and you may have to fall out ;)

[phit_demon]

No need.

It's a fact that Family Guy will never surpass Simpsons circa seasons 1-9 in terms of quality, so arguing would be pointless. :D

[Antonio_Bay]

Jefferson High is our rival.

[puggso_32]

No need.

It's a fact that Family Guy will never surpass Simpsons circa seasons 1-9 in terms of quality, so arguing would be pointless. :D

Perhaps...but it has went so shit afterwards. They really should have ended it, I don't see it ever getting back to a decent level and all most people will remember are the tons and tons of episodes of crap with a smidgen of genius!

[Shäne]

I'm not really a fan of either one. :p

One thing that simpsons has over Family Guy is the characters they created have much more flavor. It's kind of annoying to hear Seth doing many of the characters voices.

I didn't get Family Guy for a while. Too random for me. But it has grown to be one of my favorite shows. I'll take Family Guy over Simpsons any day.
But Southpark beats them both.

I completely agree with you. After watching a few episodes it grew on me. I'd take South Park over both of them any day.

[puggso_32]

Anyone else think The Cleaveland show will be horrible?

[Brains]

Our survey says!:

SHIT! (utter)

I have an incling it will be terrible.

Family Guy and the Simpsons have been on a downhill slope for a while now. Family Guy's getting too stupid and the Simpsons is just getting purely lame. It looks as if the creators don't give a shit any more and the voice actors have given up the ghost. Its stale and crap.
And fuck sake, one of the things that most pissed me off about the Simpson's degradation was the way they turned Moe into a hopeless depressive and pathetic for Marges love. He should have stayed the bad-ass barkeep, harbouring Willie (the whale) in his back room and running speakeasys!
I loved the older Simpsons, most of it was pure gold.
Especially Chief Wiggum: "Whew, that was close! Thank god it landed in that smoking crater!"

I liked the older Family Guy as well, in seasons 2, 3 and 4, when they really got it right. It's just disjointed crap now, stuffed with Manatees.

What happened to good old-fashined decent animation humour? *shakes kead in disappoinment*

[OrangesofDeath]

You may think The Simpsons' sucks ass right now, but at least the had 8 great seasons. Family Guy started sucking before the 4th. It's just random crap these days.

So I say Simpsons is better by a mile.

Are you seriously considering the depth of character of these two shows? Phitzy, you know I love ya, but come on man. NEITHER show has a boat load of depth and character motivation. They're animated comedies. Each character is thoroughly predictable, that's part of the appeal. You know how characters are going to respond...it's what I like to call, The Blankie Theory. You're comfortable in your knowledge of the characters, and your relationship with them/their relationship to each other. So, it gives a person a feeling of "home". There's not a whole lot of deep here.

[Lotism]

He doesn't just talk. He is deliciously evil. And Hilarious. I've had some pretty damn good laughs from his character and the things he does.

I will be completely honest. I thought Stewie was much cooler in the earlier seasons. I really don't like/find it necessary that they turned an infant child into a homosexual. There are plenty on the show, they should have left him alone DAMMIT!

Lois: Oh no Peter! How could they do that?

Peter: Well unfortuantely Lois, there's just no more room on the schedule. We just gotta accept the fact that FOX has to make room for terrific shows like Dark Angel, Titus, Undeclared, Action, That 80's Show, Wonder Falls, Fast Lane, Andy Richter Controls The Universe, Skin, Girl's Club, Cracking Up, The Pitts, Firefly, Get Real, Freaky Links, Wanda At Large, Costello, The Lone Gunman, A Minute with Stan Hooper, Normal Ohio, Pasadena, Harsh Realm, Keen Eddy, The Street, American Embassy, Cedric The Entertainer, The Tick, Louie, And Greg The Bunny....

You'd have to specify exactly what you mean by cancel. For example, there are several televisions shows that were killed by their network, only to be picked up by another network. Case in point...Buffy, and very soon Scrubs. There was also a classic program that switched networks, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Maybe All in the Family?

*Edit* Looked it up...not All in the Family...no idea what it is right now.

I remember hearing a fact about it and what you said must be it. Fan Complaints? Awesome. I guess the ratings weren't so great before but when it got canceled, people started to miss it. I own a few seasons on DVD myself.

[Rob101]

I read in an interview with Seth McFarland where after the show got canceled, he traveled with a few other guys across the US selling DVDs and the responses they were getting from the sales and fans got them back on the air.

One thing I never liked about Family Guy is the random musicals. I found every single one of them pointless and not entertaining at all.

The South Park criticism of Family Guy really is true, they force unrelated jokes into the story.

It's a lame show that works better if watched on Youtube for a minute or two, rather than a 25 minute chunk.

Agreed. If Stewie wasn't as deliciously evil and hilarious as he is, the show would be ehh. I liked the earlier episodes more because he was more into battling and scheming on people. The guy in the white coat(cultist leader) the bully who stole his "trikey," all his scheming on Lois. They need to more of that! More I say!!

[Critical_Lemon]

I'm of the opinion that the Simpsons has greater artistic merit and a lot of excellent subtle humour, whereas for a very in your face, surreal experience, Family Guy is awesome.

I've also found that younger people like Family Guy better, a sad statement about the youth of New Zealand.

[Lotism]

Stewie Griffin started off as a heterosexual. He had a few girls he even crushed on and Loved. There was Olivia, the famous child singer, the one he met during his nursery school who only wanted him for his cookies, and the Babysitter who he made a mix tape for. Not sure but I think there was another.
Either way why the fuck did seth mcfarlane have to convert the kid into a homosexual around season 3?(I think that's when it happened) He went from sexy parties to dancing in gay clubs. Maybe seth is gay himself but still that is not a reason. There are more than enough of them on the show. Why turn my favorite character into one!
The other day I was watching an episode where Stewie says something like "oh that's worse than that time you made me watch 2 girls one cup." Then they showed Stewie's reaction like "Oh man that's disgusting.. Oh gross man. Why are you making me watch this? I mean do they do something like this with guys? I mean where I could find something like that?"

Dude, that is some of the funniest shit on the show...I am not a supporter of Gay Rights and all of that crap, but comedy is comedy...They could make him Asian and then have someone say..."And here's Stewie's slant on the story.", referencing his eyes....oh wait, they did that with the Asian Reporter chick.

[Lotism]

My point is that there are more than enough gays on the show to make up for it. Almost everyone had their gay moment and it's quite funny. Especially the old man. But Stewie didn't start off gay, so why change that a few seasons later? I still watch the show and find it hilarious but I find that one thing unnecessary. That's all I'm saying.

Maybe he's just exploring his sexuality. Lighten up. How do you know that all babies aren't gay? Maybe the whole time that babies are learning to communicate, what they really want to scream out is, "HEY! I loves me some cock!" Oral fixation and what not. Once they learn to communicate, perhaps it has passed. Haven't you ever been around a little male kid? He can't keep his hand off his junk. What I'm saying is, maybe it's not about Stewie being gay exactly. It's just an exaggeration of the way little kids act, coupled with the fact that he's an "evil genius." Oh ya...and it's a cartoon with a talking dog...so there's that...so maybe you should lighten the fuck up.

[Antonio_Bay]

I've never thought of Stewie as straight or gay, I just see the writers adding a joke relating to either side whenever they can.

Anyways,
You should read some interviews that Seth has done. He has made comments that at any point in time, anything can happen with any of the characters if it is funny. This is why Lois can occasionally hear Stewie. If you are worried about the perceived sexual orientation of a child, watch another show.

[Cuclean]

I thought this may be the best place to post this....

The Simpsons Season 20 episode 1.

I was watching it to see the usual Halloween episode that they start almost every season off with that usually has a higher quality than the rest of the season. But.....

My god...... My fucking god.... I didn't think they could get any worse. This made me cringe far more than the "movie" did. Matt Groening, have you ever thought of saying to yourself.... stop.... just stop. You aren't going to have THAT many grandkids to keep wealthy.

I pine for the show that has for ten years now forgotten what it was. A beautifully written, acted and animated show. Instead, we get this thrown together, straw grabbing abortion with our "favorite characters" acting wacky in it. (Hey guys isn't it funny when Homer puts on the half whiny/half trying to pander to someone else's view's voice?) It hasn't worked for over ten years guys.

Was there that great a change in the writing of the show? There must have been some major imput by the studio or an influx of writing talent from the writers of "Diaster Movie". You haven't destroyed my childhood as others may say about things such as Phantom Menace, if anything, you have concreted my knowledge in what I held to be true. The Simpsons was the best show ever. What you have done is make something original, gorgeous and hysterical into an idiotic farce.

You gave birth to the greatest show of all time and then ruined it forever by molesting it at age ten. Shame on you. Let it die in peace. I'd ask you to give it the send off it deserves (which you could have done with the film) but instead you want to rape the corpse. Enjoy it guys, believe it or not everyone can see what you're doing, it's not a dirty family secret.

[Edit] It doesn't mean the episode wasn't with a smirk or two but its possible to try and unprofessionally shoot something from a mile away with a scope and graze it.

[Shäne]

Yeah but you know they're going to just keep going because of how close they are to beating Gunsmoke's record of 20 seasons.

The Simpsons have been getting worse and worse since even before Dana Gould's stint. These new tits haven't even measured up to Gould's (one and only) fail.

And what's the deal with the Bart and Homer feminine side jokes? And Lisa's some pretentious yuppie now? F that I said. They pulled this shite out of nowhere. If you watch the first eight seasons you'll see that the real Simpsons writers didn't set any precedent for the BS dynamics they've got going now.

all true. But, the plots the Simpsons is pretneding to support are retarded and lame. Family guy is at least keeping the focus on comedy.

You need a hell of a lot of booze.

Good news though, the episode starts being funnier after about 12 drinks.

Taken from the Red vs. Blue forums (pretty much epitomizes everything I hate about Family Guy):

"The Seth MacFarlane school of comedy: Old joke + time = new joke."

[BOP TILL U DROP]

I was a Simpsons fan growing up, but once I got into the 4th grade, South Park took over that spot. I HATED Family Guy when it first aired. Truthfully, I just started watching it like last year or the year before. But now it gets waaay more giggles out of me than The Simpsons does.

Okay....but that's YOU.

Yep. Fat old me.

Like Phitzy said, Simpsons seasons 1-9 were genius.

Like yourself and Phitzy said, they were. Actually I'd say totally groundbreaking. Still not always exactly crackingly funny.
Actually, Phitzy said something I absolutely agree with: Family Guy is the Simpson's special needs wee cousin. A special needs wee cousin with whom you don't need to be politically correct and who you can call "reTardis" or something of the kind. Which is immensely cathartic in a world in which you need to call a Hebrew person "different in the foreskin" or something like it.

Now they're just trying too hard.

I actually completely lost it since the "Lisa becomes vegetarian" episode or thereabouts. When was it?
Hmm, Google.
Google says season 7.

The Simpsons in its heyday is funnier than Family Guy can or will ever be. Smarts beat crassness every time.

You're really not helping your argument by stating that the show is retarded and being a dick all in one post.

Normally it does, but the Simpsons in my extremely personal (and apparently not shared with anybody here) overdo it regularly.

Well.
You might have a point.
Duh.
I actually meant to joke on the "retarded" expression to focus on the non-political correct style of Family Guy that is to me a major plus for its cathartic value, but you stomped me.
Funaki to you. Now I go back to watch Family Guy all by myself. NO, I will NOT touch myself while I watch it. Although... no, I won't.
