With the new Family Guys and my South Park love, I thought I'd see exactly where we all stand.

Vote for which show you think is the funniest RIGHT NOW.

Right now: Family Guy

Of all time: Simpsons

Yeah, I think everyone would have to agree that right now, of all time would have to be The Simpsons. No one can match its unprecedented logevity, reinventions, and contribution to the cultural zeitgeist.

Love pretty much all of the above, but South Park gets my vote for always managing to shock.

I wish they would bring back futureramma

So do I, but in a way I'm glad it ended before it got old.

I miss Futurama

South Park all the way.
The last couple of seasons of The Simpsons has really ruined it for me. I think they're awful.

Me too

I miss Futurama as well.

Seeing how similar Family Guy and American Dad are (even thought AD is still young), it's all the more a testament to Matt Groening's genius that Futurama and the Simpsons were so distinct.

My sentiments exactly. Haven't seen any of the other current series so I couldn't coment. Tempted to download new FG eps tho...

Autobloke · Post by **Autobloke** » Tue May 03, 2005 8:32 pm

God, The Devil and Bob. Pure genius.
And Megas XLR.
How about Robotix: The Movie? I quite liked that too (snigger).

If I had to choose from your list though:

South Park. (even though the last lot of eps were a bit iffy).

And I miss Futurama also. "Good news everybody..." etc.

I could give ya a good site for SP episodes, but they're torrent related, and Big Best Brother doesn't like that. He doesn't like it at all. Big Best Brother gets real mad at me when I do bad things.

It's Family Guy. Most of the rest are good, cept the Simpsons these days. They'd do better to replace it with Futurama.

Not totaly comedy, but I find Naruto hilarious.

Simpson's. best of all time but not of the last few years. It also paved the way for most of the above options to be created.

I don't think the Simpsons have been that bad lately. They've definitely fallen in regards to previous quality standards, but I still think they're better than most of what passes for 'comedy' on television.

Autobloke · Post by **Autobloke** » Sun May 15, 2005 8:52 pm

Simpsons. No-one has ever picked up on the colour error with the character's skin. You'd think after all this time they'd notice the mistake and correct it.

Compare recent eps to Black Books or Spaced and it loses hands down imo. ^_^

South Park all the way, for appearing never to have given a **** who they have offended throughout its entire run. If all TV was like South Park I would be happy. Simpsons is great and has some amazing characters, situations etc. but plays it all way too safe.

Hey, Family Guy isn't exactly made for children of all ages itself. Probably why it keeps getting canceled.

........I haven't heard of either of those, but I'll take your word for it. Are they BBC? If so, I should amend my statement to 'what passes for comedy on American television'.

Channel 4.

A Black Books and Spaced fan? I knew I liked you for a reason.

Bernard Black is my template for life.

I've downloaded Blood and Fever to take to the US on my jaunt there, so I can introduce the poor savages to the true ways of comedy ^_~

Manny: Is space hot?
Bernard: Of course it is, where do you think we get pineapples from?

Fran: Do you know that in Tibet when they want something they give something away?
Bernard: Do they? That must be why they're such a dominant global power.

Manny: I want the weekend off. I want a life.
Bernard: This is life! We suffer and slave and expire. That's it!
Manny: We have needs! Fran wants to learn the piano, I want some time to myself, you want to go out with a girl...
Bernard: Don't make me laugh... bitterly. Fran will fail, you'll toil your life away, and I'll die alone, upside down on the floor of a pub toilet.

Fran: (talking to Bernard about about him and Manny) You know, if the two of you could do something relaxing together, this place wouldn't be so tense.
Bernard: What? Every time we bicker we should have sex? Just have a drink and be yourself again, will you?
Fran: So what's it like then? The fags and booze.
Bernard: Well, to be honest, after years of smoking and drinking, you do sometimes look at yourself and think...
Fran: Yep...
Bernard: You know, just sometimes, in between the first cigarette with coffee in the morning to that four hundredth glass of cornershop piss at 3am, you do sometimes look at yourself and think...
Fran: Yep...
Bernard: ... "this is fantastic. I'm in heaven."

How can you not love this? Comedy at it`s finest.

somthing about Family guy just doesnt work for me, im not sure what it is, it just doesnt make me laugh...

The toilet humor of South Park makes me smile...

oh I dunno.

Peep Show makes me happy, but its not a cartoon.
