Simpsons and Family Guy

[Diamond Wings]

Yeah, everybody knows this popular series, and which we know that the Simpsons is the most original one and Family Guy was a "copy" of the Simpsons even in the jokes, but, however, these two series are still very funny.

You can talk about the series here and show videos with the funniest moments and all...

The reason everyone likes it is because the dads(homer,peter)are so stupid that its funny, the girls (meg,...whats her face?) try to fit in, the guys(cris,bart) just do whatever the hell they want, the moms(louise, margie) try to keep everthing sane but some times lose it them selves, and the babys(stewie,maggie) just go anywere they want and plot for world domination.

so in other words i you don't like it your gay

@rubenjrc: It sounds like you really haven't seen a single episode of the Simpsons.

Homer and Peter are both naive morons most of the time, but Peter is also bright at some points.

Meg and Lisa are both very different characters. Meg is a stupid teenage girl who wants to hang out with all of the dumb popular kids and will do whatever it takes to fit in. She's also obsessive and nobody likes her. Lisa on the other hand is a very smart and knowledgeable individual with bucket-loads of talent and creativity. She is the brains of the Simpsons family.

Chris and Bart are also pretty different. Chris is shy, fat, and his hobbies include just sitting back to draw. He's also a bit of a nerd. Bart is a rebel and a prankster. He's outgoing and trolls people for the lulz.

Lois and Marge are basically the same character, but Lois has a better sense of humor and is probably just a bit smarter than Marge is.

Stewie and Maggie are polar opposites. Maggie DOES NOT plot world domination. She just sits around and sucks on her pacifier. She's hardly a part of the show at all. Stewie is extremely intelligent, well-worded, and dreams of the day he kills Lois and takes over the world.

Family Guy also has the deciding character that puts the show just over The Simpsons for me: Brian, the family dog. Clever. Witty. Awesome. When Lois can't hold the family together, Brian usually steps up to do so.

Also, yeah. I'm one of those people that thinks the Simpsons stopped being funny a long time ago. I love most of the earlier seasons, but the formula is so tired and it just doesn't work for me anymore. Family Guy has at least stayed consistently funny since it's inception. By the second episode, the show has shown you that it's a one-trick-pony with it's scenes that don't advance the plot at all (ie. "He's treating me worse than that jerk, Christian Bale"), but it keeps that trick fresh with plenty of pop culture references and snarky unpredictable humor. I've been watching The Simpsons since I was 5, but today I prefer Family Guy.

I've found Family Guy to be too preachy and just a way for McFarlane to push his views on everyone else ever since it became Uncanceled. Stewie is just one big gay joke and he stopped being clever and interesting. He stopped trying to take over the world! Peter stopped being a dumb but caring father and turned into a horrible bastard protagonist that just isn't funny. Brian became McFarlane's mouth piece that could do no wrong. I get it McFarlane. You don't believe in religion. Do you have to insult it every chance you get? It just irritates me that he calls my faith a joke 24/7

American Dad and even the Cleavland Show reminds me of what Family Guy used to be. The Simpsons while not as great as it used to be still tends to outshine Family Guy in my opinion.  Maggie is awesome, seeing her take down a bunch of mafia goons with a sniper was a awesome scene. Lately I've found every scene with Maggie involved to be enjoyable.  Homer may be a idiot, and a bit of a jerk. But he deeply cares about his children and would do anything to make them happy. A quality Peter no longer possesses.

None of them can compare to King of the Hill and Futurama.

I agree, some of the characters have developed in ways that don't quite suit them, but I still think it's still interesting as commentary on our society. MacFarlane isn't exactly ignorant. He's still very much a guy that likes to make fun of himself (see Quagmire's tirade against Brian in Jerome is the New Black). I'm sorry you're annoyed with MacFarlane, but the show isn't trying to please everybody, it's not PC, and that's part of what makes it great to me. You have to think for yourself and draw your own conclusions. Just because you don't agree with everything doesn't make it bad.

I've tried watching American Dad and it's good for what it is, but it's just not that interesting. As for The Cleveland Show... it's just plain awful, but then I don't really expect much out of it to begin with since MacFarlane isn't all that involved with it's production. Never really cared for King of the Hill, but I will agree that Futurama is far superior to all of them.

you can also say the Simpson is a copy of the Flinstones.

i enjoy the simpsons a lot more, though it seems to be wearing out or becoming forced but still it has the original qualities that made the simpsons gold since from the start

[Serenacorbat]

Both shows are good but my favorite is Family Guy because it is more progressing in randomness and also i like Stuwey he like to take over like me hhhhaaaaaaa
