Cartoons

Well, it's just . . . for me, I have no problem with humor that offends. In fact, I welcome it. However, if a joke you tell is only funny to you, and no humor comes through at all, you are left standing there with egg on your face looking like an ass because not only did your joke fail, but you used offensive means to get there, and nobody laughed. See what I'm saying?

Of course, South Park still has its great moments, but the big laughs are happening less and less with me as I watch recent seasons. Perhaps it's just me, and I'm simply burnt out with their style, but honestly I think it's just because they have run out of ideas for the most part.

The simpsons are classic, but honestly...just not the same as it was. South Park was brilliant but same thing....maybe now 1 our of every 3 episodes I enjoyed. Also, I NEVER used to even watch King of the Hill but it's been growing on me more every day. It is hilarious and some of the best quotes I've heard! Also, Futurama is still AMAZING. Heard they're making new episodes, actual episodes too not just the movies broken up into 4.

Yes, Family Guy is the new Simpsons in my honest opinion. Hell, they've even rehashed some of the old Simpsons gags and done it better! What does that say??

"Simple, Lois. Christians don't believe in gravity."


And South Park I also agree with you on. It used to be sooo funny, but now it's just offensive and/or stupid. Used to be a brilliant mixture of all three elements, but no longer.

South Park is my fav at the moment but all time would fall to the old WB cartoons.

Not a single one listed there I don't like.  I went with other for Aqua Teen Hunger Force. 




Also like Robot Chicken, though not technically a cartoon, I guess? 

The Boondocks rocks!!!

South Park!

I picked south park..It's one of my favorite.

Definitely among the greatest, which is why I also chose The Simpsons.

No love for Family Guy? I see how it is. Guess it's up to me to be the first to vote in MacFarlane's favor.

Even though South Park is showing its age, and isn't as consistently good as it used to be, Trey & Matt still manage to knock several episodes out of the park each season.  It's still some of the best satire anywhere.
