    Yeah, I do prefer it to the Simpsons. I find it much funnier.

    I think Family Guy's great. Sure, the "keep the same gag running for half a minute" jokes can be a pain, but even great comedy shows have their share of misses. The show has its faults, most of which have already been pointed out in this thread, but all I ask of a comedy is that it make me laugh, and Family Guy does that.

    South Park > Futurama >>>> Family Guy
    Rating South Park higher than Futurama invalidates not just your opinion, but you.

    This statement is true on so many levels.

    Such an opinion is demonstrative of the highest ignorance of South Park. The last few seasons (and many before that) are all pure awesome and just continue to get better. How many shows can say that?

    I'm guilty of owning all seasons of the show. I love it, but I can see where people are coming from when they say it sucks. I'm afraid the new fad seems to be saying Family Guy sucks just because someone else says so though, but the guy on YouTube has very valid points.

    These days, it's just a way to kill time when I've got nothing to do.

    I was pretty amazed how many people saw the South Park Cartoon Wars episode and were like "Oh my god, Family Guy is the same formulaic over and over again!" How could you not be able to see that after like, five episodes? It seemed pretty smurfing obvious to me. I didn't even watch that video, so maybe I'm just repeating what he said.

    It's not that it's an awful show, it's just not nearly as creative, original, or hilarious as a lot of other comedies on TV. I do love Brian, and the show can be mildly entertaining, but there's so much out there that's smarter and funnier.

    Slightly off-topic, Futurama is a great show, but South Park is both more outrageously hilarious and a far more valid and piercing social satire. Agreeing with Raistlin can be a painful thing, but Futurama is always going to have its fans who remember the lovable characters and goofy sitcom situations; South Park pushes (or has pushed) the envelope in so many ways that it's going to be an important part of tv culture for a long time.

    Like Jebus Shiny said, most of the things the guy said in the video is why I find Family Guy so funny. So there's a lack of character development? It's a freaking CARTOON. The non sequitur is what I find so funny.

    Also agreeing with Poetically Pathetic, it seems it's just a fad now to say that Family Guy sucks.

    It has a humor that appeals to some people and doesn't appeal to others. Just like South Park. I happen to like both shows, but in very different ways. I found "Cartoon Wars" hilarious. But it hasn't kept me from still finding Family Guy funny.

    I have yet to post in this thread. Or in anything for the last month.

    I'm a fan of random, irrelevant humor, thus Family Guy does tend to evoke a chuckle or two from me, however, Futurama is vastly superior in every possible way.

    Also: MILF, just when I thought you couldn't be any more awesome you do all that. In other words, you can have me. *gets naked*
