Watching an odd Simpsons episode can be chuckleworthy for me, yes like any media, especially American one it can be casually racist or chavenistic (like every "Simpsons go to x county" episodes) but the jokes from "classic" eta episodes can make me laugh.By contrast catching a glimpse of a Family guy feels like being tortured clocwork orange-style, when it's not trying to be as obnoxiously offensive as possible it's just painfully unfunny. It feels like the whole existence of Family guy is some post-ironic Goncharov bit, where every clip was created by racist tic-toc bloggers to put in their shorts, and them someone stiched it all together like those "play games from the ADs" apps do with deceptive mobile game adds. And i lnow that Simpsons oversaturated the "animated sitcom" genre at their prime, necessitating a response, but genuinely how did family guy even got made? Get continuations, spin-offs and many other shows that tried to emulate it while also being just extremely unfunny?
And South Park manages to beat it by being even more obnoxiously offensive, unfunny and just plain up ugly to watch. Like people decided that they wanted an extremely shittier version of already shit cartoon for some reason?
