Family Guy vs. South Park

Mojo · 11-23-2009, 03:27 AM

I've only seen the first two seasons of South Park. Everyone says the same thing, that i stopped watching it just as it started to get better but i thought those first two seasons were far from original as has been claimed previously.

Family Guy is dragging on a bit and was far, far better in its early days. Stewie alone was worth watching that show but the Stewie character has gone from being a very well written, entertaining evil genius while still having typical child-like moments that remind you he is a baby which in my opinion made it all the more funny to being, for some reason, a bit gay. A gay baby isnt necessarily funny, but a bit creepy.

It's between Family Guy and The Simpsons for me. Had Family Guy been able to sustain the brilliance of its first 4 or so seasons then it would win hands down. The Simpsons lost it in later years too but i think were consistent for a few years longer at least.

If i ever do watch South Park from season 3 onwards and end up having to eat my own words, then so be it. I highly doubt it though.

I think every two combinations of seasons that took place after the first two, are better than the combination of the first two seasons. The thing is, almost every episode is a reference to something after the first few seasons. If you have never heard of twilight, the twilight mock episode would be very boring to you. The same goes with the WoW episode, the LoTR episode, the WWE episode, and pretty much every other one. They are almost all plays off of other things in our pop culture, and they usually are done very well.

I am not sure if this exactly begins after season three, or a little later one, I have never watched them in order.

Haha, I found it creepily funny when stewie acted gay, especially when he had "sex" with the CPR dummie. Well the aftermath of the sex.

Theres still funny moments but the Stewie character just isnt as interesting to me anymore. The same can be said for pretty much all of the Family Guy characters now though. Good ideas are few and far between these days on that show.

I don't know. I mean I watched up to s6 religiously, now I don't have time to watch it at the time it's on, just occasional episodes (I miss it cause work) I mean the Meg jokes still crack me up, Stewie still cracks me up, the only thing im tired of is that fucking angry monkey thing. Thats got real old with me. But Herbert the old pervert is still funny. Ever noticed his dog? It's back legs don't work. Seriously.

Theres an episode in season 8 that looks like it brought the evil monkey thing to an end. I wont say too much of course but you could probably watch it online. I would check Project Free TV.

EDIT: and yeah, isnt it called Jessie or something? Just drags itself along because it's old just like Herbert.

I might start watching it online, but I have shitty internet connection, (hills n that 8-)) so it takes ages for an episode to load, and I can't really be arsed with that. But I might start watching it when I'm bored and such.

edit: and aye I'm sure it's name is Jessie, and I think it's funny :$ hhah.
