Family Guy-Stewie Griffin
South Park-ButtersIt's an oft debated subject on internet underground message boards and for that matter openly in public by the makers of the show.I have even discussed this with my roommate Rahul Kekre (who,by the way is a big south park fan) many times.
Personally, I think both are awesome shows,which are always pushing boundaries(& people's nerves).
Matt & Trey(makers of South Park) made two complete episodes on South Park (Cartoon Wars) to express their view on family guy.They spoke through Cartman when he said :
Don't you ever, EVER compare me to Family Guy, you hear me Kyle? Compare me to Family Guy again and so help me, I will kill you where you stand! Do you have any idea what it's like? Everywhere I go: "Hey Cartman you must like Family Guy, right?" "Hey, your sense of humor reminds me of Family Guy, Cartman!" I am nothing like Family Guy! When I make jokes they are inherent to a story! Deep situational and emotional jokes based on what is relevant and has a point, not just one random interchangeable joke after another!
Seth McFarlane(maker of Family guy) retaliated in a speech at Harvard, in the voice of Stewie Griffin, saying that the jokes need not always be a part of the plot because they are there to be 'FUNNY'.In another interview he said Family guy will also reciprocate with an episode.I am looking forward to that episode of Family guy.It's very entertaining to see two very good shows involved in such criticism of each other.

I have to go with South Park on this one.
I like them both, and i swing in between liking one more than the other, but they are both great shows, and isn't easily to decide which is better and which is worse
Keep up the good work.
