I'm saying Simpsons. And the reason isn't because I have NOT seen Family Guy episodes. I've seen Family Guy up to Season 3. I have to admit, it has gotten pretty crappy. Their "flashbacks" aren't exactly funny, their storyline lacks a lot of stuff (that being said, the episode plot does NOT make sense).

The reason I don't like Family Guy, is because of some immaturities. Now I know that Family Guy is a show thats probably directed more to teens or adults, but I just can't seem to follow along with their jokes.
Speaking of "their jokes", SOME of them (by "some" I mean a lot); are copying Simpsons. You can find some on YouTube. And if you can't, I'll see if I can search through a bit and provide a few links.

I know Family Guy had their movie first, but to be honest, I didn't like it as much. A lot of it lacked jokes. And people I knew laughed at the scene where "Future" Stewy has a flashback where he met Jesus? That part I have to say is retarded.

What I like about Simpsons is their voice actors and how they provide voices for more than 1 character (except Lisa). In Family Guy, when they try to add new one-time characters (or recurring characters), their voice actors sound the same as the main characters.

I wouldn't say that the two families are exactly alike (in terms of characteristics and personalities), but some are the same.

Homer and Peter both go to a bar with their friends to get drunk.
Quagmire and Moe are the same (as they always try to take Lois/Marge as their wife).
Meg and Lisa share the role of being a unpopular student at their school.
I could go on and on, but I think we all got the point since there seem to be over 70 posts.

Lmao...
Ive read all the posts and i have to say.. all the people saying that simpsons have been around for a long time, its because they have HAD more time, im sure that Family Guy will last as long as the simpsons have.. these two shows are defenitly the top 2 for me but im going to have to go with family guy. whoever it was that said simpsons have good jokes but they dont leave me laughing as long as the ones from family guy do.. you are so right.
All the people saying that the characters are similar.. wth?
maggie and stewie have nothing in common, do you ever see maggie get up and try to kill marge? or see santas little helper get up and start drinking a martini?
im not saying i hate the simpsons but some of you people have gone overboard with saying how bad family guy is.. because it really isnt a bad show lol, you have just seen more simpsons episodes than family guy (obviously because simpsons have more.. but they will, Give it time.)
Now, lets go watch some ufc? :)

Well. there WAS one point when Santa's little helper was drinking beer :S

The Simspon are the best!!!!! :}

Family Guy's characters lacks subtly, (that makes me so mad)... but they occasionally have good episodes. Simpsons on the other hand have been a generation shaping tool. They are the number one thing that has shaped our generation, and have the metaphysical depth to question themselves. They have the intricacy to do the play within the play - see Itchy and Scratchy, the depth to cover The Illiad (Lemon of Troy), mock Politicians (see the episode Ralph is nominated...) but the number one kicker is Sideshow Bob. Every episode with Sideshow Bob has been brilliant, where they parody so many movies, and programs. See The Italian Bob, where they actually kickstarted this discussion... (I Criminali Americani- under heading Plagarismo, featuring a picture of Peter Griffin. Stan is under Plagarismo di Plagarismo; which is hillarious). Family Guy's attempt to mock Simpsons is first a tribute to The Naked Gun, and then an attempt to mock Simpsons.


But the correct order of good Cartoon comedy is Futurama, Simpsons, Robot Chicken, Undergrads, Clone High, Family Guy/South Park, King of the Hill, Mission Hill, Hellboy cartoons, Batman, Ninja Turtles etc, and at the bottom American Dad.

But for those who claimed Simpsons are like Family Guy is missing out, that Bart was created to be the Bad Boy of Simpsons, while Stewie is the Bad Boy of Family Guy.
Peter/Homer
Lois/Marge
Stewie/Bart
Carter/Grandpa


both also share -
Incompetent mayor's...
Frequent guest stars,
Serious Plot Holes in many episodes,
Neighbour who's wife is gone (Ned vs Cleveland)
Neighbourhood bars they fight for.
Chronic Alcoholism in many characters, not just Homer/Peter
3 kids in each family,
numerous car accidents as a result of alcoholism
time spent in jail by many characters,
both families have pet dogs,
both are part of the racial majority within their towns
both attend churches- and episodes have focused around them...
both families own guns, and use them frequently

but these similarities seem to be more done to make their message more poignant, rather than as a means of copying each other...

While I do enjoy both shows, I defintely prefer The Simpsons because it's a true classic and is in my opinion more suitable for all ages. It's a great family comedy. Sometimes family guy goes that little bit too far, but the Simpsons is just as if not more hilarious yet still knows where to draw the line. I also think the simpsons has some really memorable and quirky qoutes, more so than any other show I've ever watched. I also personally prefer the simpsons because it's funny without trying to hard to be funny, the writers and producers are really intelligent and imaginative and have come up with awesome storylines and not to mention the coolest characters ever! And the movie embodied everything great about the Simpsons and the main characters and did not dissapoint me in the slightest!

I like them both a lot but family guy can be really gross sometimes

Yeah Family guy is way funnier stewie is hilarious way funnier than bart and homer put together and peter is funny to now ive decided there is no comparison family guy all the way, the simpsons have the same plot over and over bart gets in trouble homer does something dumb and gets drunk lisa gets a good grade marge is always either mad at homer or cleaning

ok first of all SIMPSONS ALL THE WAY
now the family guy is a total rip off of the simpsons now you make the connections
homer and peter - fat stupid and have alcohal problems
marge and louis - house wives who forgive everything there husbands do
meg and lisa - the smart child who is not popular at school
bart and chris- not popular not loners and both have mental disabilitiess

first off, ive been raised on the simpsons, its a great show, funny clever and the story can start at something random and become a great plot line, unexpectdedly, yet family guy is also funny, in its own immature way, is it not true that the majority of our population is immature and laughs at immature things. so obviously a show like family guy cant be considered bad becuz some stuck up bitches think its not funny, the things they think of are plain and simply funny get over it simpsons fans, i pick the simpsons as the better show, but i ve seen every episode like 10 times, so i watch family guy more often now, cuz it makes me pooh my panties. btw, fuck alll u people who wrote a bunch of bullshit comparing the shows, u can find similarities and differences in everything if u spend 10 hours trying. try finding simi and diff of the soccer and football:) im sure u ll come back with a page of research loser
