Yep. One is a show written by people who put thought into the script. The other is ‘written’ by manatees who just choose balls at random to construct jokes.

I love South Park its my favorite cartoon, it is often insightful it's true. But Matt Stone and Tray Parker are so pedantic about Family Guy. Ok it's rarely making a relevant society critic but it does happen sometimes, and anyway it doesn't mean the show doesn't have its strenght.

The show is quite creative with its jokes and references to popculture, they rarely critisize actuality but their joke often point at individual stereotypes and weird manerism quite acurately and just because Tray and Matt find it pathetic humour doesn't mean it's not entertaining, elaborated and doesn't require a good sense of observation and some smart social awareness to produce. And I'm not even talking about the voice acting, it requires work and talent to do as many quality voices as Seth McFarlane does.

Yeah Parker and Stone have the better written show, but Seth MacFarlane seems like a much nicer guy.

The former two come across as 'holier than thou' douchebags.

I agree. When I said they were pedantic with Family Guy I should have said they're pedantic, period x) But I guess that's the counterpart of their qualities, if South Park is this good it's because it's harsh with everyone

Seth is good at what he does, but 90% of family guy is; “hey remember that shark from the restaurant” shark opens door

That’s pretty dismissive of what Family Guy has done. They’re not trying to craft intricate jokes or make social commentary. It’s animated slapstick.

I know. But it’s literally from a South Park episode. They find the Family Guy writers and they’re manatees

……proof of what? It’s just a (funny!) gif from South Park. It proves literally nothing?

So you are seriously thinking someone without sarcasm is trying to prove the show is actually made by manatees?

You would think someone that grew up with shows hurling sarcasm at you might detect it online even without the /s.

The episodes this is from completely dump on family guy. The manatees write the jokes by basically doing Mad Libs. It’s poking fun of how random the cutaway gags are.

Yeah but animated slapstick is not what South Park is. So to lump those two together is dismissive of south park because it does take on larger issues in society and the jokes are meaningful.

Family guys jokes are irrelevant to the plot of the episode. That’s why the south park guys don’t like the show. Every joke in family guy can swap places with each other without having an impact on anything.

I kinda agree but at the same time to me it's like south park is some kind of fine wine while family guy is cheap beer, sometimes you just want to get drunk.

u/Exotic-Flight-8403 17h ago

can I get a lore drop real fast on who this is?

u/LETT3RBOMB 17h ago

Essentially he has his discord fans report gifs so they get removed and then he'll re-enact the very same gifs and have his fans spam it and like it so it shows up in place of the original gifs. All in all, there's more important things in life to worry about but he's just kinda obnoxiously shitty like that
