I voted for Family Guy right now.&nbsp; However, at its peak the Simpsons was the funniest show on tv, but they've been riding on fumes the last five seasons.&nbsp; South Park has been coming on strong lately, but the jury's still out in my opinion.

[AngelAmy]

im going with south park...matt and trey are geniuses.

<p>At one time The Simpsons was the funniest, most brilliant show on television.&nbsp; I made sure never to miss it.&nbsp; In college in the mid 90's we would have Simpsons viewing parties.&nbsp; Not any more.&nbsp; The writing teams changed over, and they stopped doing what made it work, randomness.&nbsp; So many times nowadays they go for the easy joke, a befuddled comment from Homer, a &quot;shocking&quot; retort from Bart, a clueless jab from Marge.&nbsp; I'm not saying it's predictable, it's just not as challenging as it once was.&nbsp; I barely make an effor to watch it now as it's rather hit or miss.&nbsp; 3 weeks ago, I was impressed and laughed quite a bit.&nbsp; 2 weeks ago with Ricky Gervais was fucking wretched.&nbsp; One of the worst episodes of the recent era.&nbsp; I hate to say it, but I'm not looking forward at all to the movie next year.</p><p>Family Guy I wasn't impressed with in the beginning.&nbsp; It wasn't the Simpsons, and I really wanted Futurama to be good.&nbsp; But, it eventually got me and I was disheartened when it went on hiatus, bought the DVDs, was thrilled when the comeback was announced.&nbsp; I still think it's great, but I never really get upset if I miss an episode.&nbsp;</p><p>South Park has truly carried a passed torch proudly.&nbsp; I'm very rarely disappointed with an episode, and it almost always elicits the empty mouthed equivalent of a spit take.&nbsp; I make sure not to miss even the repeats.&nbsp; I suppose it helps that they think as I do.&nbsp; Not Liberal or Conservative, but aware that both sides are rife with assholes and hypocrites.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<font size="2">This is like Opie with you can't like Letterman if you like Leno. Constantly with the one thing has to be better than the other.

[furie]

Futurama should be on the list, but since it's not, i voted family guy

[JustJon]

<p>When South Park did their 3rd season, it sucked because they were focused on the movie.&nbsp; Somewhere in the 4th season, almost no one was watching and it gave them room to do less weirdness (alien anal probes and the like) and turned into parody and social commentary.</p><p>Simpsons seasons 3 to 10 are one of the best sitcoms in the history of tv.</p><p>Family Guy has lame plots but good gags.&nbsp;</p>

[WhistlePig]

I like all three, but South Park still makes me laugh out loud the most.

[angelinad128]

All three are great in their own way.

<p>i rarely watch simpsons anymore but i'm into both family guy and south park</p><p>family guy to me is funny because it has no plot and just makes references to anything but when south park wants to be the best like with the recent chef episode they're hard to beat</p>

[Death Metal Moe]

I haven't watched any of them in awhile but The Simpsons is still king in my book, followed by Family Guy for it's intelligent yet cruel humor.&nbsp; Lastly is South Park for it's intelligent, yet fucking nasty, crude, dumb humor from time to time.&nbsp; They also throw too many &quot;agendas&quot; in their cartoons sometimes.

[narc]

I made a conscious decision to stop watching The Simpsons in 2000, and I haven't looked back. It went too long without making me laugh at all.
Family Guy makes me chuckle every once in a while, but not consistently as much as it used to. I'll still make an effort to watch it though.
South Park I forget about watching periodically, but will ALWAYS induce cringe laughter. Out of the three, South Park has consistently and repeatedly made me feel almost as if I was going to lose control of my bodily functions I was laughing so hard. Unfortunately, a lot of the funniest stuff Comedy Central won't even show anymore. Like when Cartman pulled up a lawn chair when Butters's parents were beating him and said: "If I were older, I'd totally start jacking off right now." That might be the single funniest line in all of the three shows history. South Park can certainly miss the mark occasionally though too.

Holy shit! I remember that show. I can't really remember much about it... just that I loved it, and it didn't last very long.

I wonder if it's out on DVD?&nbsp; I remember it being funny at the time. I can't get the stupid song out of my head though.&nbsp;

<p>Voted for Family Guy, though really like South Park as well.</p><p>Simpsons were great in their prime but haven't really watched in years.</p>

Gotta go with South Park.

<p>Simpsons have been done for a decade. </p><p>Family Guy is funny but
I don't put special effort into it - for every genius episode, theres
three mediocre ones that I see 1000 times. </p><p>South Park is the
best ever. Trey and Matt are Voltaire Squared and I love their genius.
And Trey inspires my piano playing, I'm gay for SP. How can you beat a
show with Primus as the theme song!!??<br />
</p>

[Donnielimes]

The writers from &quot;Family Guy&quot; remind me of the writers from the National Lampoon Magazine of my youth. Those guys were freaks and the writers for &quot;Family Guy&quot; are living in that tradition. Freedom of speech is about pushing the envelope sometimes and network primetime is the time!

<p>It's been a lot of Futurama for me lately.&nbsp; I was always a sucker for the Critic.&nbsp; I watched a couple of Duckman episodes recently was dissapointed with how they had aged.&nbsp; I remembered them being so much better when I saw them the first time.</p>

<p>Since people are listing other toons, I'd say besides South Park I LOVE the Venture Bros! Season Two coming soon, whos with me??</p><p>&nbsp;<br />

I love the fact that they make fun of themselves with the Terrance and Philip cartoon (A show based on really bad animation in which kids watch a show with worse animation, and then the Terrorists create their own cartoon to blast USA and it's animation is even worse!)</font></p>

i like them all but i gotta go simpsons just because of the raw amount of episodes and family guy to me rips off alot of old joke and the simpsons, also all the jokes are just flashbacks, it get kinda annoying.

<p>Family Guy is just trying to do it's own take on the &quot;classic&quot; sitcom -animated or otherwise.</p><p>The flashbacks are unique to that show.&nbsp; All the non-sequitors (sp?) and references&nbsp;are the shows IDENTITY.&nbsp; </p><p>It's kinda like saying &quot;Rich Little is funny but, he just does too many impressions and imitations for me.&quot;&nbsp; But...that's what he does.&nbsp;It's not a fault.&nbsp; It's the design.&nbsp; Kna'mean?</p>

[MasterSoySauce]

when theres too many flash backs and all it gets old, what if rich little did the same impression over and over? would you still say he's funny?

God do I hate that War at Home show.&nbsp; Can we all admit now that Simpsons, South Park (i hate to say that one) and Family Guy are all past their prime, and not only that but Family Guy was not as funny as we thought it was in the first place?

[Furtherman]

I'd much rather have the TV on to see American Dad than The War At Home.

i only watch the war at home cause i'd like to fuck the mom and daughter

[El Mudo]

South Park wins for me just because its the best satire you can probably find on TV right now in my opinion

Family guy comes second, I love the gags...even if the setup for the jokes are all the same

I haven't seen an episode of the Simpsons in years...mainly cause im watching other things in that 8pm timeslot, but when i was growing up it was probably the best thing going, as many have pointed out...

It just seems to me at least that the Simpsons is dated in many ways....probably because my taste in comedy has matured since I was a kid, I now really go for a darker kind of comedy, with more "adventurous" humor and I really don't get that from the Simpsons

Its like what Howie was doing in the late 80s and early 90s was really shocking for the time, but now its just old hat, because its not as easy to push boundaries today as it was in that time....everything is much more blurred now
