South Park blows Family Guy out of the water. It uses in a sense intellectual humor on a "WTF" basis that will always be funnier. I'll admit Family Guy has its moments, but recurring laughter doesn't happen with that show like it does with South Park. The early seasons of Family Guy could be compared to South Park as being funnier, but as time has progressed they've gone downhill significantly. All it is, is a shotgun attempt at hitting a funny. Sometimes they hit it, other times it just pisses the watcher off as a scene that isn't funny goes on for 30 seconds and has you thinking what the hell did I just watch, I want that time back. I can't say I've ever watched a South Park episode and thought I wasted time, I can't say that about Family Guy.
I strongly disagree. South Park isn't intellectual humour at all. They satirise a lot of things and they mention big topics to get that kind of "whoa" laughter, but it leaves a lot to be desired. I don't laugh out loud much with South Park, I do with Family Guy, and American Dad for that matter. Don't get me wrong, South Park does have it's moments, but it's more shocking "I can't believe they just did that" humour than anything remotely "intellectual".
