They're completely different shows and other then being cartoons, theres no other reason to compare them.
I like both shows, but I think they're funny in different ways.
South Park is great for it's abrasiveness and ability to tackle any issue in a hilarious and clever way. It's a great mix of stupid mayhem and satire.
Family Guy is just stupid mayhem, not that there's anything wrong with that. The appeal of FG is flat out ridiculous randomness, you never knows where an episode will take you. And I like that.
They're both hit and miss, again in different ways.
Family Guy episodes are just loaded with jokes, some good, some horrible, every episode has both good and bad jokes, all of them deliver at least one really funny moment.
South Park is hit and miss in a different way, either the whole episode will be completely sidesplittingly funny from start to finish, or it won't be funny at all, because unlike FG, a South Park episode relies on the plot to be funny.
Overall I love both shows, but I'd say I like South Park more overall.
