I made this thread for discussion about cartoons, seeing is how Nintendo Bros.' polls sparked a lot of toon discussion. So the last thing we left off at was about the Simpsons. Hopefully the mods will merge those posts with this topic.

Um, what was wrong with the last topic?

Nothing, he just wanted to create a topic where we could all come and talk about cartoons instead of getting off topic in the other one.

We are getting off topic right now, if you haven't noticed.

The other one wasn't off topic; it was a natural progression of the discussion.

Well, this thread certainly got off on the wrong foot.

To clear things up, I don't hate The Simpsons. I hate what it has become. I also hate the cheap shots the crew takes at Family Guy since they claim FG is a rip-off of the Simpsons. Wow, both of the dads are complete idiots? Both are about a family? What else can we find good sirs?

I don't really understand the popularity of Family Guy. The jokes on it can be found on any other show.

No way, Chef. Out of any show I've ever seen in my life, Family Guy tops them all in terms of comedy.

No.You can find that king of humor anywhere.(South Park.Only it is 100x funnier than Family Guy)

No, SP has that stupid kind of humor, The Simpsons RULES all.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #10 on:** August 03, 2006, 06:24:19 PM »

Family Guy is still my favorite.

SushieBoy · « **Reply #11 on:** August 03, 2006, 06:25:39 PM »

FG is okay, but Simpsons is my favorite, SP is stupid.

South Park is more intelligent than both combined. If you fail to see that it's a personal problem.

I'm not a fan of either "Simpsons" or "Family Guy". I don't find either very funny and because of that have hardly watched them. "South Park" would be good if they cut out all the sexual content--get rid of those bad jokes/words and you have a clever show. I've seen more of "South Park" than the other two combined, but have never watched it on a regular basis--usually just when someone has the DVDs and pops one in. I'm one of these people who would much rather watch sports on TV (unless it's poker, which I just find to be really boring on TV).

I guess I'm just not that into cartoons. I never saw many at all when I was little and I didn't even know what Nickelodeon was until I was in kindergarten and other people talked about it! In fact, I didn't even see a "Bat Man" cartoon on TV until I was nine. Some of the animated/computer movies they make (such as "Finding Nemo") are quite good though.

But yes, "Simpsons" and "Family Guy" do nothing for me. I'd rather watch sports or "American Idol".

Tell me, why do you post in a cartoon discussion thread for the sole purpose of stating how you aren't into cartoons?
