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".

Sorry, wrong thread. Didn't mean to step into opposite land.

I think we should stop arguing on which is better. Some of us grew up with South Park, some of us grew up with Family Guy and some of us grew up with neither. I doubt we'll be able to persuade the other that the other show it better.

That said, I grew up watching South Park since third grade. No, I am not kidding. It was a bad idea though, since I had no idea what the words "Dildo", "Masturbation", and a few other words in that show.

You are lucky. Since I had conservative parents, I wasn't able to start watching South Park till I was 14.

If you were watching it at 14 then they're not that conservative.

Or you could have grown up with both like I did. Family Guy hands down. Smarter jokes, better animation, and better episode plots.

Are you watching the same show as everyone else, their plots are about 4min of the show and the rest is just poop jokes. (Still love it though)

SP wins simply for bashing FG for two episodes, while Family Guy just layed their and took it like a 5 dollar hooker, A.K.A your sister.

Apparently the Simpson's and King of the Hill called after wards and said that they are doing gods word and sent flowers as well.
