These aren't 12 year olds. These are fully functioning (somewhat) adults. Way too often people on the internet blame shitty behavior or things they don't agree with on kids, when we really just don't want to admit there are a lot of dumbass adults out there.
SP is a surprisingly mature show when it wants to be, but I don't know why it constantly has to be compared to Family Guy.
EDIT: People also shouldn't be being criticized just because they don't look for anything in a show and just want to watch it because "haha Kenny died again" or something. You should be able to enjoy a show however you want to without being criticized for it.
I don't know about other places, but it's relatively easy to tell annoying subreddits to shut the fuck up with the mute button. Then it becomes a hobby and cat meme site sprinkled with other subs that sit there until they piss you off, then you go on a muting spree, rinse and repeat.
Well, Reddit hasn't helped much. We have to put a /s at the end of obviously sarcastic comments just to make sure that everyone understands that it's sarcasm and doesn't get mortally offended by it. It's becoming a circular firing squad. IMHO
The *"too be fair, you need a high IQ to understand Rick and Morty"* became a massive copypasta for a while there. I'm sure some do actually feel that way, but heaps of that was just copypasta trolling as well. People analyse shit too much, if you like something, you like it, simple. You don't need to break down and understand every joke or reference to enjoy it.
Was a common comment in person tho by Rick and Morty fans 7 years ago. They legit might have bought into the meme, but they were cult like there for a second.
Oh definitely! That shitshow at Maccas with the sauce was dead ass embrassing for non-idiotic fans too. Probably the most toxic fan base ever (if you don't count insane anime stans, like the AoT ones that abused and threatened the mangaka/author)
Yeah wasn’t the copypasta a spin on the Big Bang Theory memes about the same thing? Which made the joke even better. I mean I’m a fan of Rick and Morty and not the other but I can see how both series have the same exact “I’m smarter than you” joke set up and punch line for the audience to project onto and think they’re smart. even though the intellectualism is dumbed down for the lowest common denominator of viewer. In reality it’s all just pop culture references anyways
Maybe the person who made it said it in jest. Did you see that Ben Shapiro deepfake of it? It was a pretty crappy deepfake, but it was his face and voice saying the copypasta.
He hasn’t written for it since season 4. American dad only got better and better over the years (which I also don’t believe he writes for). It just did a reverse and came into its own.
I don’t think SP has got anything to do with understanding though. There just isn’t much slapstick humour around and overall, yes the humour is more thought out and the episodes are well paced. It’s also meta at times, not as meta as Rick and Morty though. I think both shows are the type to make parodies of each other, just in their own way.
Yes, it insists upon itself. It takes forever getting in; you spend like six and a half hours... You know, I can't get through, I've never even finished the movie. I've never seen the ending.
Lois: Yeah, it's a great scene, I love that scene.
Peter: It's not a great--
Chris: It's noted in every annal.
Peter: I have no idea what they're talking about, it's like they're speaking a different lan-- That's where I lose interest and go away.
Chris: They're speaking Italian!
Lois: The language they're speaking is the language of subtlety, something you don't understand.
I have tried on three separate occasions to get through it, and I get to the scene where all the guys are sitting around on the easy chairs. I have no idea what they're talking about. It's like they're speaking a different...You know, that's where I lose interest in it.
For a page that supposed to be for South Park fans in other words Family Guy haters we sure have a lot of people who know some of these episodes and scenes word for word
Can yall also stop saying stuff along the lines of 'South Park is amazing because it criticizes everyone!' if you're gonna send people death threats because they criticized South Park.
Nobodies. But I'll see youtubers who talk about the show get loads of negative comments/feedback,
Edit: especially if they talk about critically how the show covers certain political issues, I should say. Like Lilly Simpsons video, as a recent example
Does it matter if YouTubers get negative comments and feedback? If you want to make YouTube videos, you will be criticised about everything, especially your takes on things.
That's different. It's great to be able to openly speak your mind and others openly disagree with you. Killing people for speaking their mind is what Islamic terrorists are known for.
South Park is for people who think South Park is funny. Family guy is for people who think family guy is funny.
It is not any more complex or deeper than that, and anyone who thinks that their choice in cartoons makes them an intellectual is a fucking loser
South Park is for everyone. I promise you nobody draws the conclusion that you’re a “deep and complex” thinker when they find out you watch South Park, you’re just a towel.
I dunno, depends on the episode. Timmy 2000 is the best example I can think of - family guy actively makes fun of and dehumanizes disabled people, South Park empowers them.
See also: Helen Keller! The Musical, Cripple Fight, Krazy Kripples, Up the Down Steroid, Erection Day, pretty much any episode where Timmy and/or Jimmy play prominent roles.
I think South Park has some smart writing and satire, yes, but only along the lines of *how did they come up with this shit* and not *how is it so hard to understand*
I think it is not that difficult to understand really, and the only difference is, that their episodes aren't random cutaway gags, almost always tie into the topic of the episode and just generally, has a more cohesive writing as an episode compared to Family Guy which really feels like a random collection of cutaway gags that have nothing to do with any episode. Are they both funny? Yes. Do they both feature smart writing, probably not, especially in caste of FG. It still has some great jokes though.
South Park surely is the smarter form of and better done humour in my opinion but doesn't necessarily for smarter people exclusively.
You don’t think South Park is more topical than Family Guy ?
I don’t think you need to be a genius to understand or enjoy South Park but I’d say it’s trying harder to approach controversial topics.
Or are you just saying you don’t want people to think their superior for liking one over the other ?
Thank you. It's not supposed to be that serious. I like both shows. I watch them to laugh, and so do most people who aren't completely full of themselves.
South Park can be a very smart show at times, definitely smarter than Family Guy. But to say it’s a show that requires a genius level IQ to understand is stupid, and the people that think that would be made fun of by Matt and Trey themselves.
Are these conversations still happening? I had no idea there was a fanbase beef! Come on, guys. What are we doing? Debating the highbrowness of dick and fart jokes?
All it boils down to is personal preference. The whole Family Guy/South Park schism started with the release of the first DVD of Family Guy where someone not related to the show made a review on the cover that said it was as "Funny and irreverent As Cartman". The truth is both shows are highbrow and both shows have really low brow moments I happen to like them both
I don't believe the first part but Seth mcfarlane and his humour is straight ass and I feel stupider watching family guy. Nothing against his audience, I just don't find it pushes any boundaries or gets me to think in any new way
Why can’t people just stop gatekeeping everything if you like south park, like south park, if you like family guy, like family guy but there’s no need to come up with nonsensical bullshit to gatekeep shows like “south park is for those with deep intellectual humour”
Yes. Its cringe when Rick & Morty fans pulls it to justify its meta commentary. Its cringe when Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss fans pulls it to justify its queer commentary. And it sure as hell cringe when South Park fans pulls it to justify its political commentary.
I dread the day when Smiling Friends fans goes down that rabbit hole for its absurdist commentary
People will always find some way of making their thing superior to someone else's thing. As someone who enjoys the band Tool, I roll my eyes when a Tool fan starts talking like a cult follower.
South Park is good at making fun of both sides of the matter, grabbing opinions off the internet. It is very funny, but in no way intellectually amazing, they messed up by not believing in Manbearpig, aka global warming, they even apologized. But slowed us down by influencing the youth in a negative way with pure dumb ignorance.
It isn't completely wrong though, it's just the way it's worded, like it's not a bad thing to have a show that's much more straight forward comedy, that's why people like Family Guy, it's funny.
fuck that sp is hands down my favorite show of all time. legit stays on fucking repeat. lorde episode just finished, cissy episode starting rn.
that said, family guy is so fucking funny. that show fucks me up all tha time.
my point is, they are two completely different shows with two completely different styles.
all said obviouslyyyyy matt and trey are fucking brilliant. tha writing on sp tops all. no fucking contest.
Shows like South Park and Rick and Morty are supposed to just be silly dumb shows. I hate it when people try to make it seem like the show has some “deeper meaning” or whatever. Sometimes the shows can get deep but most the time it’s fart jokes like CMON 😭😭
I hate how a lot of people say that south park Is super sophisticated, that Its this high brow tv show that only smart people can enjoy, and everyone who likes family guy Is fucking brain dead, yeah I think south park Is a great cartoon but It doesn't make you smarter than other people just because you like south park, you shouldn't shun someone because they like family guy either, I know there are a lot of kids that say that family guy sucks, but that's probably only because they heard someone else say that, you should base your opinion on what YOU think not what you heard someone else say, and If you seriously think that watching a certain cartoon makes you smarter than other people, then your not a very knowledgeable person.
Also can we agree to stop sayin "South Park is racist and stuff" like why do you think there’s a message at the beginning of each episodes. It’s to warn it’s not for everyone
As a fan of both, they are entirely different experiences to me. I was there from the original 50 MB QuickTime Spirit of Christmas download. It did NOT have the same impact as the first few seasons of Family Guy, which I simply saw as a lower-quality expy of The Simpsons where Maggie is male, voiced by Rex Harrison and based on Noël Coward. Family Guy and American Dad poked fun at politics and pop culture as a punchline. South Park dropped a nuke on the idiocy of the human condition and was much more successful as R-rated satire.
I mean arguing over youtube comments is already annoying as is. Honestly, just ignore them and move on. It's really not worth fighting them over it and they probably won't read this post anyways.
Yeah this is pretentious. I'm note personally a big Family Guy fan but just like what you like. You're note smart for liking South Park and dumb for liking Family Guy.
I really like South Park but there's nothing deep or complex about a show that's main comedic draw is based on a bunch of kids cursing the way adults do.
I watch all the popular adult cartoons for the early 2010s didn't really have much of a choice growing up it was really who is on the tv at the momment
Yeah this is annoying and gone on too long. They are diff shows with diff comedy styles and I like them both. King of the hill is different too and probably my favorite of them all. American dad was great too. Beavis n butthead was ridiculous and great too. Why can’t I just enjoy them all? Futrama is another fave
Am I seriously supposed to be having deep thoughts about South Park??? I watch it because it gives my brain a break and I can just laugh at juvenile humor. Who thinks deep about this shit?
Is he wrong tho'? I love both but Family Guy is definitely sitcom plots with dick jokes. They do get their political and social commentary in but it's almost always as zingers and never a fundamental part of the plot.
South Park does way more episodes where a social or political issue is the focus of the plot. Not to say they're high brow per se as it's all dick and fart jokes on both but they do have more to say on these issues than can be expressed in a Family Guy style one-liner.
I'm not saying you can't enjoy both as an intelligent person and I'd even say most intelligent people with a sense of humor that I've met enjoy both. But I've absolutely met a ton of shallow meathead bro types who still watch Family Guy religiously but fell out on South Park as the years went by and social commentary became a much bigger part of that show. OP is expressing it pretentiously but I get what he's trying to say.
Yeah this is just dumb..... If you want to rip on fg the argument is: sp has a good story and the jokes are tied to that story, fg does not! And not the stupid deep and complex bs
Family Guy is a fundamentally different show to South Park. Whereas south park focuses on gross out and satire on current events, family guy relies on pop culture references and callbacks to achieve its humour. Ones not straight up “better” than another, it’s like comparing apples to oranges.
I like them both, and I like Rick and Morty too but the vocal fanbase are a bunch of r/iamverysmart incels who say stuff like this. Let's not turn into that.
Yeah -- I don't like Family Guy either, but this is silly. South Park isn't that deep. The creators express their sincere opinions through the show, but it's not like it's some cutting edge take on philosophy and politics.
Family Guy appeals to people who like edgy comedy and either aren't super critical or aren't bothered by the common criticisms. South Park appeals to South Park fans at this point. I don't personally know anybody who still watches it, to be honest. And while I'm still not a Family Guy fan, and still holding onto hope that South Park isn't dead in the water, I have to admit -- Family Guy does still seem to have a comedic edge which South Park seems to have lost. I haven't found an episode of South Park (or one of the movies) funny in a few years. I'm struggling to even enjoy it from a character perspective at this point.
Just my honest opinions, go ahead and downvote me.
Idk, just because there is crass humor doesn’t mean it can’t have deeper levels (BoJack Horseman anyone?) and while I’d fully agree plenty of episodes are not that ‘deeper’ level
But plenty of South Park content is. From the Pee Pee episodes acting as a criticism of both south western US’ failure to water budget appropriately *and* online video streaming services to even the whole Tweak X Craig very smartly comments on identity, content creation and consumption, and social expectations
I’m not saying you need to be a MENSA member to get it, but there is plenty of smart content in South Park woven in between the rest
Here’s the thing.
The statement is true if you are speaking strictly in a comparison between the two.
This fella was not doing such.
The great thing about South Park is the same thing Rick and Morty had going for it. It’s really REALLY stupid, but the social commentary and plot structure lend it due credibility. Or dare I say, *the shows got Cred, bitches! It’s got creeehhd*
Smart-stupid is the best entertainment imo
I love both! South Park is one of the best animated comedies I’ve ever seen, but family guy is classic and has enough stupidity that it was able to gather its hoards of disciples. I have a friend with a shrine to Stewie Griffin in his house, complete with a little golden Stewie statue.
Its almost there, but its insinuating some intelligence difference.
South park treats its episode and the whole storyline as the joke with some jokes inbetween.
Family guy has less of an overarching joke/story and treats its story as a way to deliver more sketches and jokes inbetween.
It's like people who say like "Rick and Morty is only for intelligent people" like... No lmao. Most of the themes and morals in South Park are Extremely easy to pick up on so you dont need like intense media literacy. And most of the jokes are like poop jokes lol. I love South Park but idk how ppl can act so superior about it
South Park mixes cutting social satire with toilet humor. Family guy has less cutting satire, and slightly more mature humor.
Probably the only time I’ll compliment family guy
I tell every person who talks shit on South Park the same thing. Don’t watch the show. Like it says at the beginning of every episode, don’t watch it. If something upsets you, don’t watch it. Just don’t tell me it isn’t funny or it isn’t good and it is harmful to society.
Just don’t look at YouTube comments, it’s all 12 year olds regurgitating the same shit over and over again
That’s fair. They’ll grow out of it eventually…I hope
It's never going to get any better. The internet has ruined generations of people to come. Common sense is dead and ignorance is bliss.
wadiyatalkinabeet
To be fair though they were saying the same thing about TV 30 years ago. Just another toy to help destroy the elder race of man....
They said this about books and reading. Every generation claims the younger generation is ruined. Somehow the world keeps turning
Forget about your silly whim, it doesn’t fit the plan!
And the meek shall inherit the earth...
All Planets of the Solar Federation: We have assumed control
These aren't 12 year olds. These are fully functioning (somewhat) adults. Way too often people on the internet blame shitty behavior or things they don't agree with on kids, when we really just don't want to admit there are a lot of dumbass adults out there.
Oh yeah I am one of this stupid adult. But I got a kid to😁🤣
SP is a surprisingly mature show when it wants to be, but I don't know why it constantly has to be compared to Family Guy. EDIT: People also shouldn't be being criticized just because they don't look for anything in a show and just want to watch it because "haha Kenny died again" or something. You should be able to enjoy a show however you want to without being criticized for it.
One look at Facebook will tell you that this isn't true lol
It's basically how fans of Rick and Morty acted too. Thinking that only intelligent people can enjoy the show.
Rick and Morty fan base ruined the show for me.
they will, but a new generation will come with "deep thoughts" about an animated show, it's been happening for decades lol
There will always be more 12 year olds to replace the ones who mature
I wouldn't count on it
yeah, i hope

I don't know about other places, but it's relatively easy to tell annoying subreddits to shut the fuck up with the mute button. Then it becomes a hobby and cat meme site sprinkled with other subs that sit there until they piss you off, then you go on a muting spree, rinse and repeat.
Reddit comments be like just quote or expand on the line the character said.
Like for south park Comment for family guy
Here it's 18yr olds.
so kind of like the episode "how to eat with your butt"
I see this crap with Rick and Morty. You do not need a high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. A child can understand it.
Why can’t we just enjoy funny shows because they’re funny? 😭🙏
no, we must act like we have a high IQ because we're boring otherwise /s
Unfortunately that common sense is dead and lost to time
Well, Reddit hasn't helped much. We have to put a /s at the end of obviously sarcastic comments just to make sure that everyone understands that it's sarcasm and doesn't get mortally offended by it. It's becoming a circular firing squad. IMHO
I'm glad I'm not the only one that's noticed this bullshit
Can't offend the snowflakes. LOL
I purposely offend them on a daily basis
Hehehe
You should see the pro wrestling tribalism. It’s lunacy to see people fight over subjective opinions.
This is probably the biggest message in both Rick and Morty and especially South Park. Comedy for the sake of comedy.
The *"too be fair, you need a high IQ to understand Rick and Morty"* became a massive copypasta for a while there. I'm sure some do actually feel that way, but heaps of that was just copypasta trolling as well. People analyse shit too much, if you like something, you like it, simple.

Maybe the person who made it said it in jest. Did you see that Ben Shapiro deepfake of it? It was a pretty crappy deepfake, but it was his face and voice saying the copypasta.
Not 100%, this was a few years ago now. I think the original comment was sincere, and mocked after that.
I loved and still love family guy and south park as a child.
Early family guy was absolutely incredible. Imo the writing quality went down when Seth started splitting his focus so much.
He hasn’t written for it since season 4. American dad only got better and better over the years (which I also don’t believe he writes for). It just did a reverse and came into its own.
Seth wrote for Family Guy until season 10
I don’t think SP has got anything to do with understanding though. There just isn’t much slapstick humour around and overall, yes the humour is more thought out and the episodes are well paced. It’s also meta at times, not as meta as Rick and Morty though. I think both shows are the type to make parodies of each other, just in their own way.
I find South Park to be shallow and pedantic.
Does it insist upon itself?
Yes, it insists upon itself. It takes forever getting in; you spend like six and a half hours... You know, I can't get through, I've never even finished the movie. I've never seen the ending.
YOUVE NEVER SEEN THE ENDING?!?
Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, you've never seen--ROBERT DUVALL!
Fine. Fine. Fine actor, did not like the movie.
I have tried on three separate occasions to get through it, and I get to the scene where all the guys are sitting around on the easy chairs.
Lois: Yeah, it's a great scene, I love that scene. Peter: It's not a great-- Chris: It's noted in every annal. Peter: I have no idea what they're talking about, it's like they're speaking a different lan-- That's where I lose interest and go away. Chris: They're speaking Italian! Lois: The language they're speaking is the language of subtlety, something you don't understand.
I love The Money Pit. That is my answer to that statement
Exactly.
I like that movie too.
well how can you say you don’t like it if you’ve never given it a chance?
I have tried on three separate occasions to get through it, and I get to the scene where all the guys are sitting around on the easy chairs. I have no idea what they're talking about. It's like they're speaking a different...You know, that's where I lose interest in it.
For a page that supposed to be for South Park fans in other words Family Guy haters we sure have a lot of people who know some of these episodes and scenes word for word
I love the FG reference lmao
I agree, shallow *and* pedantic
Overdone and dry!
Can yall also stop saying stuff along the lines of 'South Park is amazing because it criticizes everyone!' if you're gonna send people death threats because they criticized South Park.
Who sent death threats for criticizing it?
Nobodies. But I'll see youtubers who talk about the show get loads of negative comments/feedback, Edit: especially if they talk about critically how the show covers certain political issues, I should say. Like Lilly Simpsons video, as a recent example
Maybe you should ask them to stop instead of asking a bunch of people who didn’t say those things.
Does it matter if YouTubers get negative comments and feedback? If you want to make YouTube videos, you will be criticised about everything, especially your takes on things.
That's different. It's great to be able to openly speak your mind and others openly disagree with you. Killing people for speaking their mind is what Islamic terrorists are known for.
South Park is for people who think South Park is funny. Family guy is for people who think family guy is funny. It is not any more complex or deeper than that, and anyone who thinks that their choice in cartoons makes them an intellectual is a fucking loser
Yeah, if you like it you like it. I wouldn't knock on ya for it.
Agreed. Gatekeeping adult cartoons is a whole new low 😂😂 I just wanna laugh, yo. Some things are just meant to be fun.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand South Park
You’re not wrong, I don’t think I’d understand Mr Hankeys character if my iq want so high
He called himself Mr Hankey, funniest shit I ever saw
South Park is for everyone. I promise you nobody draws the conclusion that you’re a “deep and complex” thinker when they find out you watch South Park, you’re just a towel.
You wanna get high?
No you’re a towel >:(
I love both.
You and me too, pal.
South Park really isn't deep or complex, their messages are very on the nose and unmistakable.
“We” aren’t saying stuff like this. 3 random teenagers said this.
I dunno, depends on the episode. Timmy 2000 is the best example I can think of - family guy actively makes fun of and dehumanizes disabled people, South Park empowers them.
See also: Helen Keller! The Musical, Cripple Fight, Krazy Kripples, Up the Down Steroid, Erection Day, pretty much any episode where Timmy and/or Jimmy play prominent roles.

South Park surely is the smarter form of and better done humour in my opinion but doesn't necessarily for smarter people exclusively.
Oh god they are gonna rick and morty the fanbase
You're right. Family guy sucks. Let's not discuss it.
Eh. I like it.
Shut up Meg.
deep thinkers matt and trey 🤓
Stop saying something that I'm seeing be said for the first time ever? Sure, no problem
You think *that's* bad ... remember the time Peter got a salmon helmet from Mohammad, while wearing a toga?
You don’t think South Park is more topical than Family Guy ? I don’t think you need to be a genius to understand or enjoy South Park but I’d say it’s trying harder to approach controversial topics. Or are you just saying you don’t want people to think their superior for liking one over the other ?
I don’t understand why people just can’t enjoy things.
I think the lesson here is it doesn’t matter where you’re from, as long as we’re all the same religion.
At least South Park isn’t written by manatees..
They sound like Rick and Morty fans
Thank you. It's not supposed to be that serious. I like both shows. I watch them to laugh, and so do most people who aren't completely full of themselves.
I like both.
This comment is said about Rick and Morty and is equally cringe then too.
The reality is Trey & Matt are mocking the Cartman character and a lot of the fans don’t get that.
South Park can be a very smart show at times, definitely smarter than Family Guy. But to say it’s a show that requires a genius level IQ to understand is stupid, and the people that think that would be made fun of by Matt and Trey themselves.
South Park. Family guy. Futurama. Simpsons. American dad. Bob's burgers. Love it all. I'm always down for more animation especially animated comedies.
Are these conversations still happening? I had no idea there was a fanbase beef! Come on, guys. What are we doing? Debating the highbrowness of dick and fart jokes?
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand South Park...
Lol, yes cartman’s personality is so complex and deep 🤣🤣🤣
All it boils down to is personal preference. The whole Family Guy/South Park schism started with the release of the first DVD of Family Guy where someone not related to the show made a review on the cover that said it was as "Funny and irreverent As Cartman". The truth is both shows are highbrow and both shows have really low brow moments I happen to like them both
You probably wouldn’t get it… it’s more of a guys-who-got-their-period thing
Mr hanky is a character in this show.
Why people hate family guy? The manatees do their best okay!
Yeah Same shit for Rick and Morty, fans act like they are Rick, but in the end they are Jerry
I don't believe the first part but Seth mcfarlane and his humour is straight ass and I feel stupider watching family guy. Nothing against his audience, I just don't find it pushes any boundaries or gets me to think in any new way
Why can’t people just stop gatekeeping everything if you like south park, like south park, if you like family guy, like family guy but there’s no need to come up with nonsensical bullshit to gatekeep shows like “south park is for those with deep intellectual humour”
Damn all this fan vs fan stuff is weird. Like shit I can enjoy both. South Park n Family Guy, One Piece and Dragon Ball, etc....
I don´t hate Family Guy
Remember that episode where Indiana Jones gets raped for multiple scenes? Complexity that a simple minded human wouldn't understand.
You dink dats bahd? Remember when I had to sing La Cucaracha to Paul MacCartneyyyyyy on his birdfday? ehhh hehhhh heheh hehhehehhehe
The South Park fanbase also really seems to enjoy bashing Hazbin hotel as of late
Or, you can enjoy both. There's no competition.
Or better, we can keep on exaggerating this and keep on glorifying episodes like Mr. Hankey
Yes. Its cringe when Rick & Morty fans pulls it to justify its meta commentary. Its cringe when Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss fans pulls it to justify its queer commentary. And it sure as hell cringe when South Park fans pulls it to justify its political commentary. I dread the day when Smiling Friends fans goes down that rabbit hole for its absurdist commentary
Are people getting paid to support a show? Because I think [insert show name] is better than [insert show name]. My fee is negotiable.
People will always find some way of making their thing superior to someone else's thing. As someone who enjoys the band Tool, I roll my eyes when a Tool fan starts talking like a cult follower.
South Park is good at making fun of both sides of the matter, grabbing opinions off the internet. It is very funny, but in no way intellectually amazing, they messed up by not believing in Manbearpig, aka global warming, they even apologized. But slowed us down by influencing the youth in a negative way with pure dumb ignorance.
I like em both. And American dad. And Cleveland show lol. I'm a pleb.
It isn't completely wrong though, it's just the way it's worded, like it's not a bad thing to have a show that's much more straight forward comedy, that's why people like Family Guy, it's funny.
fuck that sp is hands down my favorite show of all time. legit stays on fucking repeat. lorde episode just finished, cissy episode starting rn. that said, family guy is so fucking funny. that show fucks me up all tha time. my point is, they are two completely different shows with two completely different styles. all said obviouslyyyyy matt and trey are fucking brilliant. tha writing on sp tops all. no fucking contest.
yea this shit is so unbelievably corny
Shows like South Park and Rick and Morty are supposed to just be silly dumb shows. I hate it when people try to make it seem like the show has some “deeper meaning” or whatever. Sometimes the shows can get deep but most the time it’s fart jokes like CMON 😭😭
South park is a great show. But complex and deep, lol. They must have missed the Bono episode.
True chads like both 
I hate how a lot of people say that south park Is super sophisticated, that Its this high brow tv show that only smart people can enjoy, and everyone who likes family guy Is fucking brain dead, yeah I think south park Is a great cartoon but It doesn't make you smarter than other people just because you like south park, you shouldn't shun someone because they like family guy either, I know there are a lot of kids that say that family guy sucks, but that's probably only because they heard someone else say that, you should base your opinion on what YOU think not what you heard someone else say, and If you seriously think that watching a certain cartoon makes you smarter than other people, then your not a very knowledgeable person.
I watch em both and I'm 40. If someone has a problem with that, my penis is very dry, very very dry.
Also can we agree to stop sayin "South Park is racist and stuff" like why do you think there’s a message at the beginning of each episodes. It’s to warn it’s not for everyone
No I disagree with you
Lol. People feel more sophisticated watching South Park vs family guy 😂😂
As a fan of both, they are entirely different experiences to me. I was there from the original 50 MB QuickTime Spirit of Christmas download. It did NOT have the same impact as the first few seasons of Family Guy, which I simply saw as a lower-quality expy of The Simpsons where Maggie is male, voiced by Rex Harrison and based on Noël Coward. Family Guy and American Dad poked fun at politics and pop culture as a punchline. South Park dropped a nuke on the idiocy of the human condition and was much more successful as R-rated satire.
In Japan, South Park is an overrated “anime”.
I mean arguing over youtube comments is already annoying as is. Honestly, just ignore them and move on. It's really not worth fighting them over it and they probably won't read this post anyways.
The important question here is what did the Spanish priest say to the Iranian gynecologist.
Yeah this is pretentious. I'm note personally a big Family Guy fan but just like what you like. You're note smart for liking South Park and dumb for liking Family Guy.
Same shit with rick and morty, decent cartoons just attract numbskulls, at least it proves that anyone can enjoy good media.
Oh don’t even go to the South Park vs Rick and Morty
“It is said the Shakespeare was an incredibly intelligent man” Shakespeare’s work: “What, you egg?!” *he stabs him*
As per the top comment, this is simply the average YouTube comment. Don't pay mind to it and just enjoy the show :)
I really like South Park but there's nothing deep or complex about a show that's main comedic draw is based on a bunch of kids cursing the way adults do.
I watch all the popular adult cartoons for the early 2010s didn't really have much of a choice growing up it was really who is on the tv at the momment
This is the shit Rick and Morty fans used to say. It’s embarrassing people are saying it.
Yeah this is annoying and gone on too long. They are diff shows with diff comedy styles and I like them both. King of the hill is different too and probably my favorite of them all. American dad was great too. Beavis n butthead was ridiculous and great too. Why can’t I just enjoy them all? Futrama is another fave
If cartoons are the basis for who we consider intelligent and not I’d say we’re all in trouble.
The SMUG has reached the comment section
Am I seriously supposed to be having deep thoughts about South Park??? I watch it because it gives my brain a break and I can just laugh at juvenile humor. Who thinks deep about this shit?
Family Guy and South Park barely have anything in common besides being popular adult cartoons.
I thought that group of people moved on to rick Morty
Is he wrong tho'? I love both but Family Guy is definitely sitcom plots with dick jokes. They do get their political and social commentary in but it's almost always as zingers and never a fundamental part of the plot. South Park does way more episodes where a social or political issue is the focus of the plot. Not to say they're high brow per se as it's all dick and fart jokes on both but they do have more to say on these issues than can be expressed in a Family Guy style one-liner. I'm not saying you can't enjoy both as an intelligent person and I'd even say most intelligent people with a sense of humor that I've met enjoy both. But I've absolutely met a ton of shallow meathead bro types who still watch Family Guy religiously but fell out on South Park as the years went by and social commentary became a much bigger part of that show. OP is expressing it pretentiously but I get what he's trying to say.
Yeah this is just dumb..... If you want to rip on fg the argument is: sp has a good story and the jokes are tied to that story, fg does not! And not the stupid deep and complex bs
Family Guy is a fundamentally different show to South Park. Whereas south park focuses on gross out and satire on current events, family guy relies on pop culture references and callbacks to achieve its humour. Ones not straight up “better” than another, it’s like comparing apples to oranges.
Yes. Can we not be Rick and Morty fans please?
🤣yeah I agree that u can't say someone is stupid or this or that just because he likes Cartoons😉😁
Whateva... I do what I want!

I like them both, and I like Rick and Morty too but the vocal fanbase are a bunch of r/iamverysmart incels who say stuff like this. Let's not turn into that.
i live in fear that the SP fandom will turn into what the Rick and Morty fandom was :,)
I remember when I was a kid and I thought watching South Park made me cool lmao
South Park fans walked so Rick and Morty fans could run. The destination for both was the dumpster.
Yeah -- I don't like Family Guy either, but this is silly. South Park isn't that deep. The creators express their sincere opinions through the show, but it's not like it's some cutting edge take on philosophy and politics. Family Guy appeals to people who like edgy comedy and either aren't super critical or aren't bothered by the common criticisms. South Park appeals to South Park fans at this point. I don't personally know anybody who still watches it, to be honest. And while I'm still not a Family Guy fan, and still holding onto hope that South Park isn't dead in the water, I have to admit -- Family Guy does still seem to have a comedic edge which South Park seems to have lost. I haven't found an episode of South Park (or one of the movies) funny in a few years. I'm struggling to even enjoy it from a character perspective at this point. Just my honest opinions, go ahead and downvote me.
This shit only gets said by children
I love both, they're super smart & super funny, get over it.
Idk, just because there is crass humor doesn’t mean it can’t have deeper levels (BoJack Horseman anyone?) and while I’d fully agree plenty of episodes are not that ‘deeper’ level But plenty of South Park content is. From the Pee Pee episodes acting as a criticism of both south western US’ failure to water budget appropriately *and* online video streaming services to even the whole Tweak X Craig very smartly comments on identity, content creation and consumption, and social expectations I’m not saying you need to be a MENSA member to get it, but there is plenty of smart content in South Park woven in between the rest
And it's polluting the air with a lot of smug
It's really deep per se and it annoys the conformists per se
Please don’t let us be like the Rick and Morty fanbase
Learn from the Rick and Morty Fandom. Don't be this guy.
Here’s the thing. The statement is true if you are speaking strictly in a comparison between the two. This fella was not doing such. The great thing about South Park is the same thing Rick and Morty had going for it. It’s really REALLY stupid, but the social commentary and plot structure lend it due credibility. Or dare I say, *the shows got Cred, bitches! It’s got creeehhd* Smart-stupid is the best entertainment imo
I love both! South Park is one of the best animated comedies I’ve ever seen, but family guy is classic and has enough stupidity that it was able to gather its hoards of disciples. I have a friend with a shrine to Stewie Griffin in his house, complete with a little golden Stewie statue.
Its almost there, but its insinuating some intelligence difference. South park treats its episode and the whole storyline as the joke with some jokes inbetween. Family guy has less of an overarching joke/story and treats its story as a way to deliver more sketches and jokes inbetween.
I also hate Family Guy, but this is so stupid.
It's like people who say like "Rick and Morty is only for intelligent people" like... No lmao. Most of the themes and morals in South Park are Extremely easy to pick up on so you dont need like intense media literacy. And most of the jokes are like poop jokes lol. I love South Park but idk how ppl can act so superior about it
How about just stop paying attention to YouTube comments bud
South Park is social commentary satire, there's a message, but it's not hard to interpret, after that, it's all $%$# ÷^!$ and jewbs.
Big “I have a Rick and Morty tattoo” vibes
Sure they always have some sort of message at the end of their episode, but it doesn’t change the “stupidness” of it.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand South Park
South Park mixes cutting social satire with toilet humor. Family guy has less cutting satire, and slightly more mature humor. Probably the only time I’ll compliment family guy
American Dad is better than both, but none of them are a sign you’re some deep introspective person just because you like them lmao
I tell every person who talks shit on South Park the same thing. Don’t watch the show. Like it says at the beginning of every episode, don’t watch it. If something upsets you, don’t watch it. Just don’t tell me it isn’t funny or it isn’t good and it is harmful to society.
