The Simpsons Finally Go HD

*Ninjinister* · 02-16-2009, 11:29 PM

I watch both Family Guy and American Dad in addition to The Simpsons... King of the Hill to a much lesser extent. Family Guy can be uproarously hilarious at times, but there are many, many times when I just go "Oh God, I can't believe they just did that!" A lot of their jokes center primarily around surprising watchers with their absurdity or grossness. The part in one episode where Peter, Brian, Stewie, and Chris drank vials of ipecac and barfed all over the place makes me want to just shut off the TV. The sad thing is, I have a co-worker that will play that scene on YouTube at least once a week at work... and laugh like a freakin' hyena. There are other times, like last night's Christian Bale sketch, that just go on long after they were funny.

American Dad actually started out weak in my opinion and got better as time went on. Its first season or so was recycled Family Guy jokes with lame political humour thrown in, but it soon found its own identity, and at times, I think it's actually better than Family Guy.

But Simpsons will always be the cream of the crop. It makes me laugh on a consistent basis and even the lamest episodes are funnier than any other sitcom on the air right now - animated, or not.
