South Park easily, even if this season has been crap. Early on it was just slapstick, but as it developed, there's not much which could beat its biting satire and sheer ridicule.

Family Guy can be ok but for a show so seemingly random, it is actually awfully formulaic. It's a mash-up of unrelated jokes/scenes which are mostly either flashbacks or pop-culture references.

South Park wins.

Yeah, I was liked hooked into that cartoon American Dad for a while.

The only ep I've liked in the second half is the breast cancer one.

American Dad is family guy without the funny.

Personally I go with Family Guy, but just so. I think people tend to over analyze the polical aspects of the shows, after all, they can just ignore them.

Sweet, you realize that the slew of episodes that have come out in the past 2 months are the second half of Season 12, right? Some great episodes including Tonsil Trouble, Canada on Strike, Over Logging, Major Boobage came out in the first half. Though I agree the only new one on par with those is the High School Musical one (which you apparently haven't seen), I still think they're all funny except for the Obama one and half the China problem one.

Southpark easily. It actually managed to evolve from a terrible cartoon based on the gimmick of being crass to one of the best (long running) satirical shows on TV.
90% of the time Family Guys devolves into endless non sequiturs and pop culture references, as if simply acknowledging they exist is the joke in itself. Damn manatees..

American Dad is basically Family Guy with a new set of characters and is overall less funny.
