I know they don't care for Family Guy, and I know the Simpsons writers feel the same way, but isn't this just pure jealousy? Sure, Family Guy is a bit formulaic, and sometimes the humor is stretched but there are many genuine, funny moments that can only be attributed to good writing. |
Family guy is funny, but Simpsons hit the nail on the head in the Sideshow Bob governs a small town in Italy episode from this season. There was a scene in the episode where the police are looking through the world's greatest criminals, a picture of Peter Griffon with the words Plagerisomo under him. It was funny, cause its slightly true. Family guy is great but alot of the times it just spoofs stuff that we all saw as kids or in the past in a way that is hilarious to most and to others how they always wanted it presented.
I don't see them being jealous, if anything Family Guy is like the Eminem of rap, taking potshots at everyone. The episode where Stewie makes fun of people who worship ever line from the Simpsons is great. I remember watching that in a room full of people that do that, and laughing my ass off. I love the Simpsons, but Family Guy is right that sometimes people get overboard with that shit.
"Shipoopi" musical is from the Music Man, Ball in a Cup, random cartoon references, You been kicked in the nuts, etc. All are just remakes of old stuff. Its funny but people who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones at bigger competitors unless they can face the truth. I like the show though, even this new season that is losing some of its speed, but friday new season of Robot Chicken starts. so fuck it.
