South Park vs Family Guy: Which is better?

I look at it this way.

Southpark is like an edgy political comedian.

Half the time he's really hilarious and makes a god point... the other half of the time he's so offensive you have to turn off your tv... even if he has a good point.

 

While Family Guy is like Eddie Murphy.

 

Really funny for a while... but now it just hurts you to see him do anything...

Ever since Family guy came back they just stupified everything, and intensified and distilled a lot about itself... to the point of where it's just bad.

I preferred post-cancellation family guy to pre-cancellation family guy, but only the first few post-cancellation seasons. Now they're a little too self-indulgent with all the song and dance numbers and yet-more-forced non-sequitors.

Pre-cancellation the show tended to be a little too shmaltzy

South Park is one of those shows that's improved with age, that as they got more budget and more creative freedom their plots have generally become better, not worse

Oh definitly.  It's funny, I don't watch southpark too often just because I don't like to plan my schedule around something i'm not sure i'd like, but when I do watch it... it seems pretty brilliant.

Even when there is the stuff that offends me, I can see the point behind it even if I disagree with the imagery they used.  (Like the whole rape episode where it turned out the things being raped were Indiana jones and stuff like that...)

I enjoy how they clearly have an agenda and bias with things... but it's THERE agenda rather then just some monolithic agenda they agree with because it's eaiser to pick a "less bad" side then it is to form your own opinions.
