This video essay analyzes South Park’s criticism of Family Guy’s joke writing and storytelling. In 2006, South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone said that Seth MacFarlane’s Family Guy was poorly written as the jokes were interchangeable. This deep dive uncovers the truth about both comedy shows writing style and the merits on both sides of the argument.

It's because family guy rules supreme
Opinion: South Park is better at satire. Family Guy is funnier.
South park is funnier because it has tegridy
There is no need for this video!!!! South Park is the GREATEST COMEDY OF “ALL TIME”. PERIOD!!!! Family guy was over after 5-6 seasons. MATT AND TREY are second to no one!
South park is better
If your a family guy fan be free to ask questions
Idk m8.
No sane person would ever like Family Guy.
Some people vanilla others like chocolate
Ngl, South Park grew stale to me after a few seasons. The plot, and therefore the humor, becomes kinda formulaic if you pay attention. Still many times better than family guy ever was, though.
I feel like south park episodes stick in my brain but family guy episodes just don't at all.
You actually started speaking about that kinda weird lol.
Yeah but now randy has become so flanderized it’s disgusting. Modern South Park isn’t the same quality as it once was. I still enjoy it but it feels forced and uninspired now. The points they make still hit but the comedy and everything surrounding it just doesn’t seem as enjoyable. Tell me what you guys think but please be polite.
The 2006 Simpsons writing staff are the last people who should be whining about badly written jokes in shows.
A headbutting fute baller as a telegram is actually pretty funny.
Meanwhile the Simpsons did an episode with the same story with gag after gag all relating to the story. Dufless season 4
That's pretty funny. They had the Iatola on the screen with their criticism of famly guy going across the screen like it was the translation. That's hillarious.
They need to stop with that buy a piece of scottland to gain the title lord. That has no value. If you're doing it you're doing it for the title, but if you tell anyone you're a Scottish lord, they're going to know that you need a meaningless unearned title to boost your self worth. It's a waste of money.
Just looking at the title before watching its obvious that South Park is funnier because if has a lot tighter cast and is willing to take more risks. Not to say that Family Guy is bad but it had a good run then soon ran out of steam.
Why did I watch this
Family Guy season 1-3 are godtier and then it gets progressivly worse
Family guy will always be funnier, south park just has narrative.
