Fletchsays...Downvote away fanboys!
choggiesays...imagine a room full of burnt-out coke freak hacks with blackberries.....
Kruposays...That was completely awesome.
loorissays...looks like south park authors are whining hard because they don't understand why people like family guy. is their show getting old?
Fletchsays...Oh yeah? My cartoon is better than yours!!
Well, I can't speak for everyone (or anyone, actually), but I've watched every Family Guy clip I've down-voted (I've up-voted a few, too, BioN), and I think they are, for the most part, just base, dumb, and unfunny. I think Stewie is funny, but the rest...
As far as Trey Parker and Matt Stone (and others)... read for yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Family_Guy
CrushBugsays...I dunno. Is it OK that I really like both?
Fletchsays...You must choose!
dagsays...Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)
Hilarious and bitingly true.
Deanosays...Meant to upvote, damn crappy laptop mouse..
Goofball_Jonessays...This is probably how it is. Only the ideas are all on those fridge magnets and they just go and arrange them in random order and WHAM you got yourself a script for that week.
PostMortemsays...Funny!
But here's Seth Mcfarlane's response (as Stewie) to South Part.

I'm not a big fan of Family Guy, except for Stewie.
However I think South Park is starting to lose it! It's becoming way too didactic!
The creators on South Park are always after other well known people to keep their opinions to themselves. But several recent episodes of South Park are just bloody well preachy! And I don't mean the characters, if it was just the characters then it would be satire (which is what they used to do very well). But now the whole feeling of many episodes is, "listen to us, we're right". It comes off as hypocritical.
Fletchsays...Postmortem: First, thanks for making me look up "didactic". And agreed, Stewie is funny.
I've been a fan of South Park since the beginning. I still love it. I never got into Family Guy. Tried, but it was a different kind of funny to me (read: unfunny). There are episodes of South Park like you describe, but overall, I don't think they've lost their edge. I think they've actually gotten better the last two or three seasons and I am amazed how they can pump out great, biting content about subjects which are CURRENTLY in the news. They still do the boogers and bathroom type of humor, but the show has, IMO, gotten smarter and more clever over the years. But, to each his own. Not everyone likes South Park.
As far as Family Guy, it is rare when I even crack a smile at the clips that get posted here. I just don't see anything funny or clever. If it makes me laugh, I'll upvote (and I have). Like I said, to each his own... but I just don't understand the popularity of the show.
EDIT: Ok, I just finished watching the link you posted (I've seen it before, btw), and as I sat there I realized... maybe it isn't Family Guy I dislike. Maybe it's Seth McFarlane. I like Stewie. He was "doing" Stewie. Not funny, although I laughed at his dig on South Park. Anyway...
PostMortemsays...Postmortem: First, thanks for making me look up "didactic".
Hey Fletch, I have to know what didactic means because it describes the kind of idiot I am ;-) [Ever notice my posts? Way too much information and opinion!] {OH Yeah, you have noticed, from the Dawkins/O'Reilly post.;-)}
Unfortunately I haven't lived in an English speaking country since before Family Guy came on the air. All I've ever seen of it are clips, so I'm not the best judge.
As far as South Park, I'll agree, most of their shows are quite good. I over did it when I said SEVERAL of their episodes are getting preachy.
But one of my favorite things about South Park is that every episode is available online. I've heard that Matt and Trey don't mind people downloading their shows. Something those of us living overseas really appreciate!
