Family Guy vs Simpsons

[gcajrjr]

There is a posy like this online already but a poll would be nicer. Me I love the Famliy Guy, Ive seen every episode its too good.

[goddesskia]

Family Guy is funny, but the Simpsons have paved the way for shows like Family Guy to be on, so my vote goes to Homer-n-em...

[iminxtc]

yeha ive seen almost every episode of the simpspns! family guy is cool though!

[NashVegasRolla]

Yes Family Guy is by far the funniest show i have ever seen. The two funniest shows ever are the Simpsons and Family Guy but Family Guy is my fav. cause it goes that extra step that the Simpsons never did. Yes Family Guy is very offensive but thats what makes it the great show it is. You just have to watch it with an open mind and be prepared to laugh your ass off.

[SCHLiTZ]

Family Guy is better for the 'ha ha' laugh. Simpsons, being mostly political and social humour is the 'hmmmhmmmhmmmp' laugh.

There were a couple years that the Simpson's was untouchable in humour, but the early were kinda weak and the later kinda lame. Family Guy is still relatively new, but hasn't let down.

"At last, my weather machine is nearly completed.... What do you say to that brocholi??? STOP MOCKING ME!"

[descent]

I've been a huge Simpsons fan over the years and still am, but Family Guy is THE BEST TV SHOW EVER. No debate allowed. Lock this thread.

[unknown dj]

what the hell are you all talking about the simpson fuck'n' rule

[binger]

ok ok its goes liek this for me simpsons are the classics i mean they have been around for ever and the famiy guy though only short lived will always have a place in my heart and during that time of day when nothen is reall but hell thats just me


its a toss up for me aswell to chose so ill chosse both

[Yakko Red]

My loyalties are written in stone so they can last until the end of time...

Family Guy has my support.

[maximus]

Unless the Simpsons get an equivelant of Stewie, they will never reach the pinnacle regardless of how funny it may be

What the fuck do you mean "paved the way" ? Watch the episode "Colonel Homer" currently on DVD (w/ commentary on) someone calls out 'Family Guy'...family guy's only gag....cutting to a funny ass scene from the past or present, etc. was stolen from the simpsons....that's why the simpsons don't do that anymore......



anyways....i do love family guy though,,,its funny as fuck, it can't compare to the funniest show ever though (los simpsons)

[Chicago]

the old really adult driven ren and stimpy before nickelodeon brought suit

[Sunflowergrl]

yeah, Ren and Stimpy were great!


*happy happy joy joy* :afterbuzz:

[badkitty3804]

Simpson's did pave the way. I grew up with the simpsons.

Family Guy is right up there with it though.

[badkitty3804]

Speaking of cartoons...

I had the wierdest dream the other night. Think "Office Space", but plug in characters from Futurama. :FUBAR:

[Hitoi]

Family Guy. Anyone that thinks otherwise should be hit in the face with a tackhammer.

Yes, I love Family Guy that much.

[Anti-DieselKitty]

How was your b-day weekend girly??

[buzzboy]

i find it sick and disgusting that one would pose such a question, to combine the two cartoons into one category to be judged against one another...they are both great but i put the simpsons cause well..with age comes masterpiece.

[A.J.]

The Simpsons have my vote, but Family Guy is fairly close.
What about Futurama?

[buzzboy]

and to add futurama (created by simpons dudes) is even sxsicker!!!1

[keokikim02]

yeah... Family Guy.. gets my vote...

[J*C*M]

i can't get involved in this, they are both great... we shouldn't be comparing these...

[Anti-DieselKitty]

It's like comparing children...or better yet shoes. You have to love them equally, and comparing them would be wrong.

[J*C*M]

i couldn't have said it better

[buzzboy]

fuck yes us is whut i been sayen!!!

:thumbsup:

i cant really watch an episode of the family guy over and over... and over.... and over and over...without ever becoming bored of it. Its just normal now to see a simpsons episode for the 15th time.

[mike48ride]

The Simpsons are to Buzz as Family Guy is to Insomnia

[EL Nemo]

agreed the simnpsons replay value is much higher, but i like both shows for different reasons, i can t place one above the other, they both have they re highs and lows, the simpsons has more just because they ve been around longer, but don t hate on the new kid on the block

Homer and stewey are the best characters ever
i d like to see a family guy meets the simpsons movie, i bet it would suck cause things like that normally do, but it would be interesting to see what the writers of those two shows come up with together

[casperov]

Family guy is funny..

But south park does that humor more humorerly

Simpsons still beats out family guy in terms of being funny without shoving it down your throat. Subtle i believe is the word...

[LaZyCrZy]

Family Guy owns.... remember last simpsons halloween episode with Homer and the Clones and peter griffin was one of the clones hahahhhahah made my day:delirious:

[goosedude]

While both shows are out loud hilarious.......Simpsons still wins. Family Guy is excellent but a # of episodes follow similar storylines as the simpsons (ala South Park's SIMPSONS DID IT! Episode). Kudos to Family Guy b/c it did push the envelope....get the DVDs...you won't be disappointed.

Now SOUTH PARK......they have gone into the stratosphere since last season.......J-Lo and Ben Affleck episode.....Funniest ever.

[maynard]

Family Guy is funnier.

But, the Simpsons is the Simpsons.


You can't ask me to choose.

[nyhope]

i never really liked the simpsons until i was bashed over the head with it continually by a roomate. i like it but not as consistently as i like the family guy and certainly not as much.

i actually caught myself thinking the other day "i want a child like stewey" then i realized that he would be out to get me! but still, best charecter ever!

[Dizardak]

the new simpsons episode is a rip off of family guy. there were not one but two different episodes in with Peter had to become death. The new simpsons has Homer becoming Death.

[maynard]

Family Guy has those hilarious moments, but the Simpsons has those one-liners that get me every time. Like the episode where Bart and Lisa attend military school, and before Bart's weapon training the sergeant says "since you attended public school, I'm going to assume you're already proficient with small arms" and hands him a machine gun.

[goosedude]

Yes....Stewie......
I love the conflict b/w Stewie and Brian the Dog....

The episode when Stewie got fat and Brian starts spinning him like a top.....I literally fell on the floor

[Hitoi]

That episode was just on last night. At the playground, Lois puts Stewie on one of those springey horsies and it just tips to the ground because he's gotten so fat.

"Ahh yes. Giddyup."

[goosedude]

Thanks.....
Thanks a lot...
Now that quote is going to be running out of my mouth all evening.

Excellent.

[nyhope]

i haven't seen that one yet!

[TriEdManOC]

How about "The Critic", he was also on one of the Simpsons' episodes. Family Guy is the best though, remember the episode when they licked frogs (didn't homer do something similar), or the episode when they had they'r own country "PETORIA"? Hahaha.

[mike48ride]

yes, homer licked frogs,
family guy is cool.......I guess the only reason family guy has more followers on this board is cuz......o wait, i can't think of an explanation........(buzzboarders are uneducated????) who knows

[MattaKnox]

Both are awesome. Simpsons has longevity, which I'm not sure Family Guy would have been able to do while retaining the same quality level. But the average Family Guy episode makes me laugh harder than the average Simpsons episode. That's why I gotta go with Family Guy.

[MattaKnox]

Yes, we may be uneducated. Not all of us can be true masters of the ellipsis like you. :rolleyes:

[mike48ride]

Don't worry, The Simpsons is the only education you need.

[mike48ride]

haha, who cares really,,,,,,

[DeiJunglist]

Los Simpsons meng. Peter is a rip off of Homer. Simpsons hands down.

[SCHLiTZ]

ever notice that unless the father is a fat guy, animated cartoons just don't work...?

[juicyjay]

i laugh more in the family guy than in simpsons

[juicyjay]

opps. this is from last year. MY BAD.

[Robby9969]

What no Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Hehe, I keed I keed... I do <3 that show... The Simpons 97-02 were really good years so many classic episodes... Family Guy is F'ing funny though....


Family Guy is actually coming back on the air due to the DVD sales Fox is putting it back on...

[DRG420]

I love Lisa, Bart, Marge, Homer, Maggie, Mr. Burns, Smithers, Groundskeeper Willie, Apu, Cheif Wigum, Snake, Moe, Barney.

I do not love Peter, Stuy, and the rest of them.
Family Guy will never ever ever ever come close to the genius of Matt Groening and the Simpsons cast and writers.

Anyone who hasnt gotten the 4th season of the simpsons on dvd is missing out.
The Golden Conan O'brien years. Phill Hartman is basically in every episode.
Monorail, Mr. Plow, Homers Triple Bypass, Kamp Krusty.

[Amalthea]

whatever ... family guy rocks the simpsons

[Vynltrip]

Stewie has to be the funniest cartoon baby ever. I mean Ever :werd:

[Sunspot8785]

Hmmmmmmmmmm. Let's see...

Fat idiot husband and father.
Housewife mother.
Unpopular daughter.
Troubled son.
Homicidal baby (to different degrees, yes. Stewie tries to kill his mother, Maggie shot Mr. Burns). Okay that one is farfetched, but look at the other comparisons. Too bad the Simpsons lacks an intelligent pet.

As someone said earlier, if it wasnt for the Simpsons, shows like Family Guy wouldnt exist... and i completely agree. Im positive anyone who likes Family Guy now was laughing to the Simpsons in the earlier 90's. Both shows are great and groundbreaking on different levels.

Funniest character on Family Guy in my opinion is Adam West.
Funniest character on The Simpsons in my opinon was Lionel Hutz.
(Minor and occasional characters of course).

[the sex molesters]

wow, this is a tough one.... i'd have to go with the classic, though.... the simpsons have definitely passed the test of time. however, if i had to pick a favorite cartoon in general, i'd go with futurama. it's the geek in me speaking.

[Yakko Red]

My loyalties are written in stone so they can last until the end of time...

Family Guy has my support.

On 10-17-03 I made this statement, and I still stand by it.

[xpierence]

yeah very tough one. simpsons I would have to say though I grew up on that shit, and the guy mike w/e his name is was on serious shit back in the 70's that is all. But if I had more choice that 70's show has my vote.

[lovedumplingx]

Still like comparing kids though. You have to love them both....there's room in your heart and you know it. And lest we forget the first season of the Venture Brother's <3. So many great animated shows that all tickle your fancy in one way or another.

[BizarroCub]

I'm willing to bet you'll find more of the younger members of the board's loyalties lie with Family Guy.

The Simpsons has my vote. IT's the Classic Black of animated sitcoms.

And I say this firmly, as much as I LOVE The Family Guy, I can guarntee you it would never make it to 16 seasons and have as many consistently good seasons as the Simpsons has....:shrug:

[.joe]

i love family guy, its one hilarious show.

but the simpsons is just the classic show who started it all :bow:

they have classic lines like:
"don't have a cow man" and everyone's favorite "d'oh!!"

[dragonfly4z]

I gotta go with the classic, i grew up with the simpsons, though i love to watch family guy. WHAT ABOUT SOUTH PARK???

[blazinkikgurl]

they're both great, but the simpsons were first, so i have to give it to em...

[Phoenix]

Family Guy is funnier.

Simpsons has more sustaining power.

But why would I watch The Simpsons if it sometimes doesn't amuse me? If it's on, and the point of the show is to make me laugh, but it's not consistently making me laugh why would I watch it? If I wouldn't watch a show, it doesn't matter if it's on or not. So the fact that it's lasted this long to me is a moot point. Also, the Simpsons were the pioneers in social commentary through animated comedy, but I'm not going to vote for something just because it has senority. Supporting mediocrity only breeds more mediocrity and there's already way enough of that on TV as it is.

So even though it seems the Simpsons has more power to sustain itself, I'm going to have to go with the Family Guy.

[BPMninja]

that's like comparing apples and oranges. :shrug:

[mouse]

Ive seen most if not all of the Simpsons. So in light of this and for seeing something new, Family Guy.

[The Logic Theorist]

Where's the box that I can check for Aqua Teen Hunger Force?

[BPMninja]

No, Frylock, The Highlander was a documentary, and events happened in real time!

[Pseudo Society]

Family Guy is better for the 'ha ha' laugh. Simpsons, being mostly political and social humour is the 'hmmmhmmmhmmmp' laugh.

There were a couple years that the Simpson's was untouchable in humour, but the early were kinda weak and the later kinda lame. Family Guy is still relatively new, but hasn't let down.

"At last, my weather machine is nearly completed.... What do you say to that brocholi??? STOP MOCKING ME!"

<--Avatar :woot: Guess we know what my answer is. :yes:

[RYU]

Early on Simpsons used to rule. I don't recall exactly what point they stopped being as funny.
But Family Guy has kept me super entertained and I believe is the new King.
Futerama was entertaining but not to the level of Family Guy or Simpsons.

[jediprince8007]

the Family guy rocks. haha...

[happygrl]

You guys have it all wrong. I believe the winner here is clearly South Park.

Bitches.

[DRG420]

Simpsons has the best writing and characters of all time.
Simpsons is definetly the show that has changed my life.
Family Guy is funny but my Heart belongs to the simpsons

[Sunspot8785]

Simpsons and Family Guy are both great.

Simpsons has a bigger impact cuz it's been around longer, but Family Guy is more edgy- pushing the envelope while having an irreverant sense of humor.

As for South Park... well... that's the best show of all time... EVER.

[Phoenix]

The Simpsons does tug on people's heartstrings, the show effects some people in an emotional way.

It has that edge over the Family Guy.

But it doesn't effect me that way, so I still vote for the Family Guy.

[BizarroCub]

Well...when Family Guy reaches 16 seasons, which it won't, I wonder if people would feel the same...

[Phoenix]

Well...when Family Guy reaches 16 seasons, which it won't, I wonder if people would feel the same...

There's no way it could make it to 16 seasons UNLESS people felt the same, IMO.

[RichEdward]

f-ing family guy forever....remember the pilot episode they aired after superbowl, like 4 years ago? fuck yeah!

[Coheed]

Family Guy, not even a question, sustaining power or no, definitely the clear victor

[djnumb]

Family Guy is incredible. No contest.

[White-chocolate]

:ohyea: Family Guy only because The Simpsons are out dated. :ohyea:

[Cambria]

i am so in love with Coheed for turning me on to the Family Guy...that is one of the funniest cartoons ever ever ever...the Simpspons are funny...i think it's a good fight...but something about the Family Guy makes me laugh harder than the Simpsons ever did

[ms-cho-co-late]

Well...when Family Guy reaches 16 seasons, which it won't, I wonder if people would feel the same...

True. But as of right now... Family Guy gets my vote.

[decoy]

well, of the two I say the simpsons. as much as I think the family guy roXoRZ really don't like the ADD flashbacks they have too many of. it disrupts the flow of the show IMO. but my vote goes to the write in cantidate futurama. I love bender. also I think it's edgier than the simpsons with out being a crude as the family guy. it's "just right"

[Yakko Red]

family guy owns

those of you that don't think so need to remind themselves that the 90's were great, but we're in 2005 now.

Get with the times.

[maynard]

as much as I think the family guy roXoRZ really don't like the ADD flashbacks they have too many of.

no way!!! that's the best part about the show!!

crazy talk.

[maynard]

But why would I watch The Simpsons if it sometimes doesn't amuse me? If it's on, and the point of the show is to make me laugh, but it's not consistently making me laugh why would I watch it?

She's got a point - there have been some Simpsons episodes where I felt almost disappointed in. On the flipside, I can't think of a FG episode that wasn't horribly entertaining.

[BizarroCub]

She's got a point - there have been some Simpsons episodes where I felt almost disappointed in. On the flipside, I can't think of a FG episode that wasn't horribly entertaining.

Yeah, but there's also not that many of em. I can think of consecutive Simpsons seasons that were all brilliant. :shrug: After all F.G. only has like 40 episodes.

[maynard]

Also true...but the song remains the same. Until FG gets to a point where they're putting out bad episodes, I'll favor them. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love the Simpsons - I've owned all the seasons that are out now at some point or another - but it's probably #3 on my list after Seinfeld and FG.

The object of a comedy show is to make me laugh - and Family Guy just makes me laugh harder.

[Shakey]

What about Futurama?!? That's the real funniest show. But the family guy and the simpsons are both great.....my vote went with the simpsons.

[Yakko Red]

What about Futurama?!? That's the real funniest show. But the family guy and the simpsons are both great.....my vote went with the simpsons.

:tool:

[Cambria]

i think futurama is funny but imo not as funny as FG....maybe because it is still new to me and futurama ( i know i'm gonna get a beat down for this) reminds too much of the Simpsons

[Bavarias_Finest]

I agree that Family Guy is funnier and I enjoy it a lot, but as the test of time goes the Simpsons have survived, Family Guy did not.

[maynard]

I never found Futurama that humorous. There are some good one-liners every now and then, but for the most part, I pass on it.

[Shakey]

futurama is awesome. hilarious........i like the old ass scientist whos always coming up with crazy shit.

[decoy]

futurama is awesome. hilarious........i like the old ass scientist whos always coming up with crazy shit.

I'm bored! let's go! -prof farnsworth

[Cambria]

ummm family guy is still on and new epsiodes come out in may.....so how is it not surviving?

[Shakey]

simpsons has been on for like.....15 years or something.

[DRG420]

The 5th season of the Simpsons on Dvd is priceless.
Every episode I would rather watch then family guy.
Even though Ive seen them each 100 times.

[maynard]

I agree that Family Guy is funnier and I enjoy it a lot, but as the test of time goes the Simpsons have survived, Family Guy did not.

This whole "Simpsons is better because it has stood the test of time" idea is totally retarded. It simply means that a lot of people have watched the show over the years, and if anything, it's been proven time and time again that the general public doesn't know jack shit. I don't need to remind you that Cher and shitty daytime dramas like All My Children have both also stood the test of time. Just because something's been around for a while, doesn't make it good - it just means that enough people like it to keep it around, which counts for not a damn IMO.

Say you like Simpsons better because it's wittier, or has better writers, or whatever, but don't say it's better just because it's been around so long. That's merely an observation and not a personal reason for liking it.

[Hitoi]

Also true...but the song remains the same. Until FG gets to a point where they're putting out bad episodes, I'll favor them. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love the Simpsons - I've owned all the seasons that are out now at some point or another - but it's probably #3 on my list after Seinfeld and FG.

The object of a comedy show is to make me laugh - and Family Guy just makes me laugh harder.

If, for some odd reason, you and I end up stranded at sea on an inflatable raft with 7-8 other boarders and I happen to have only one fun size Snickers in my pocket, I'm sharing it with you.

[trancedance]

This question is like asking me if I like the left breast better or the right breast. I love them both the same!

[maynard]

If, for some odd reason, you and I end up stranded at sea on an inflatable raft with 7-8 other boarders and I happen to have only one fun size Snickers in my pocket, I'm sharing it with you.

Score!

[Zimma]

How can you compare... The Simpsons are just too good, and they've been on forever. I remember watching Simpsons on the Tracy Ullman show. Don't get me wrong, I love Family Guy, it cracks me up, but The Simpsons is a timeless classic.

[Sunspot8785]

well, of the two I say the simpsons. as much as I think the family guy roXoRZ really don't like the ADD flashbacks they have too many of. it disrupts the flow of the show IMO

ummm that was the gimmick Family Guy was pretty much based on...

I think they're great cuz they allow more jokes... plus they're irreverent and hilarious.

[Bavarias_Finest]

ummm family guy is still on and new epsiodes come out in may.....so how is it not surviving?

It was on FOX primetime for about 1 year maybe, and than got moved to ADULT SWIM .... they are only now recently making more episodes while the Simpsons have continued for 15 years being on a primetime FOX slot.

Theres no comparison

[Phoenix]

49 to 41.

The Buzzboard has spoken.

[maynard]

50-41.

My dumb ass never voted. :wink:

[BizarroCub]

49 to 41.

The Buzzboard has spoken.

Wouldn't be the first time the populance around here has proven how wrong they can be...

[Cambria]

Theres no comparison



actually...they stopped making episodes of the family guy for a while because they did something "racist" and too controversial...Adult Swim then picked it up....it's back because so many watch it when it's on TBS of Cartoon Network that Foz new is was a money maker....

anyways....they can't be on their 15th season because they haven't been around that long...hit me up in like 10 years and we'll see....and....

just because it's been on forever doesn't mean it is still good...Sally Jessie is still on...need i say more?

[EmmaK]

i LOVE the simpsons, and have for years. it's a great show for laughs and political commentary, without the obscenities in south park. the family guy, however, is the bees knees. i only caught on to it about a month or so ago, and it absolutely heart it. in fact, i'm all jazzed up to watch it tonight, since i was a good egg and completed my to-do list today.

:woot: :woot: :woot:

Homer was smuggling cheap drugs from Canada.

No, Jibboo... no, it did NOT look like Larry was about to crack.

[jibboo]

Don't be fatuous, Maynard.

[PaulieWalnuts]

Simpsons, because it's good family humour. I don't need my niece seeing a martini-quaffing mutt telling people to "quit your bitching."

[JacobDaniel]

Simpsons get my vote, b/c IMO, if it wasn't for the Simpsons there would be no Futurama, Family Guy, South Park, etc......

Okay, that is all, thank you.

[xpierence]

well that wasnt exactly what the question was, its which one do you like better not why.

But ok.

Yay i can go outside mommy's home with my helmet.

oh and i pick family guy.

[jukata]

I'm a huge Family Guy fan, but I voted Simpsons.

Too good for too long to loose.

[DaJ]

constantly seeing shit in family guy straight jacked from the simpsons.. of course South Park already went over this with SImpsons Did It. but it's true. family guy is just a bunch of non sequitors, which can be funny, but it gets old fast. how ironic, family guy overdid non-sequitor into becoming cliche

[dionysiac]

I think the Simpsons is a show that not everyone will get. A TON of the jokes are insider or intellectual so if you don't know history or literature or film etc.. you won't get the joke. To me that's what makes it genius.

So that means that FamGuy has mass appeal for the dumb who just want slapstick shallow comedy and the Simpsons is meant for everyone because they not only use lowbrow comedy they also throw in the "intellectual" jokes and wordplay as well.

[dionysiac]

Family Guy is better for the 'ha ha' laugh. Simpsons, being mostly political and social humour is the 'hmmmhmmmhmmmp' laugh.

There were a couple years that the Simpson's was untouchable in humour, but the early were kinda weak and the later kinda lame. Family Guy is still relatively new, but hasn't let down.

I one laughed till I couldn't breathe at the simpsons, it was the episode where bart prank called moe and gave his address so moe would rough up jimbo who was trying to make out with the girl the bart liked.

after finding out jimbo was a wuss moe says "ahh, I better go check on barney!" and it cuts to the bar where barney is laying on the bar with his mouth on the tap. he stops and says "uh-oh, my heart just stopped" then he jerked and said "ah, there it goes"

:hilarious:

I think that Family Guy is funnier now, however it cannot touch the Simpsons back in the day.

I don't even watch FG hardly at all anymore. I think the shtick only lasts for so long. When I do catch it, some episodes are funny and some make me lament that the show ever came back. lol.

The best Simpson's Episode was the "Behind the Laughter" episode....

Marge: "Homer and I had a great chemistry on the set."
Homer: "I thought about firing Marge everyday, you know, just to change things up a bit."
