As much as i love both shows, I'm going to have to vote for Seinfeld because its just so consistent with humor. name one Seinfeld episode that has disappointed.
5. The Busboy (Episode 17, Season 2): George gets a "busboy" fired by blaming something on him by accident. He attempts to make things better, but loses the busboy's cat. It's not often that an external character - he never appears again - gets so much screen time. Though the busboy is the basis for the show, his solo appearance isn't exactly stellar.
4. The Dog (Episode 21, Season 3): Jerry is stuck in his apartment with a dog belonging to a passenger he met on a plane. Elaine and George have nothing to talk about and Jerry becomes the topic.
3. The Baby Shower (Episode 15, Season 2): Elaine uses Jerry's apartment for a baby shower and a lady that dated George some time ago shows up.
2. The Big Salad (Episode 88, Season 6): George and his girlfriend pick up a "big salad" for Elaine from Monks, but George can't live down that his girlfriend handed her the bag and it seemed like she paid. Jerry's girlfriend dated Newman at one point and he eventually finds out. The episode's got four different story lines and little character interaction.
1. The Trip (Episodes 41 and 42, Season 4): Jerry goes to LA for The Tonight Show and asks George to come along. They try to find Kramer, who moved there at the end of Season 3 to pursue his acting and artistic career. The police find a body of a girl, whom Kramer met at an audition. Kramer becomes a prime suspect known as the "Smog Strangler."
Early South Park was good but the South Park the last four or five seasons has been awful so I'm going with Seinfeld which made me laugh each and every episode. You can say that Seinfield has had bad episodes but South Park has had plenty more. The only episode I was impressed with while watching South Park was the Obama/McCain show because I thought it was brilliantly done. I just think South Park has declined in these past few years and Seinfeld was as hot as any TV show during that time. Seinfeld revolved around all four characters and South Park really revolved around Cartman and that was it. I don't hate South Park but I love Seinfeld more.
The Greatest Animated Show in History vs. The Most Overrated Sitcom in History? Yep, pretty easy choice here: South Park.
South Park actually has, what they call, "intelligence" within their show, something of which Seinfeld could NEVER claim to have. There is absolutely NOTHING intelligent or thought-provoking about Seinfeld. It's ******ed joke after ******ed joke, nothing more. Whereas South Park's jokes are not only hilarious, but they add to an already interesting story and thought-provoking message.
South Park should win here, and it's not even close.
The jokes were great and to be honest, this show is above a lot of people. I realize now why so many people 'hate' the show. They don't get it. They watch an episode and they don't get it, and all of a sudden, it's overrated.
God I fucking hate this argument. If someone doesn't like Seinfled it's because "they don't get it." God forbid someone just doesn't like the show because it isn't their kind of comedy. Nope, it has to be because they are fucking idiots and the jokes are just over their head. Save that bullshit. I actually don't mind Seinfeld and some of the episodes are very good, but South Park is on a whole other level. South park wins because it's a better show. The show about nothing has met its match.
Wow. Just fucking wow. You'd think South Park was the fucking Titanic or something. It's CUTOUTS! Fucking cutouts.
The writing's sub par and without pop culture, the show would be irrelevant. Seinfeld didn't need pop culture.
Seinfeld didn't need pop culture. It created its own.
South Park's fanbase is college kids, teenagers, or people that enjoy sophomoric humor.
Seinfeld's brilliant and it's a damn shame it's losing to potty humor.
Wow. Just fucking wow. You'd think South Park was the fucking Titanic or something. It's CUTOUTS! Fucking cutouts.
The only full length South Park episode to be made of cut outs was in fact "cartman gets an anal probe" the rest was done using computers. Damn those cutouts that they used in every episode.
You're clutching at straws here Lariat, really are. South Park is the better sitcom, it's a better situation and a better comedy. South Park wins this hands down.
Ahh, so the lack of great animation makes it a shit show. I see your point now. Wait what?
So because it has a lot of pop cultural references that means it sucks? I'm having a hard time seeing why that matters.
Congratulations. Again, how does that make it a better show?
So basically the majority of the television viewing audience.
No, it's not losing to potty humor. It's losing to a better, funnier show. The writing for South park is spectacular. Obviously some episodes are better then others, but I have never seen what I would call a "bad" episode of South Park. Seinfeld is good but South park is better.
It's low quality, sophomoric humor. It's lowbrow writing, and it's ability to solely depend on pop culture to avoid cancellation make it bad.
Because that means no one on the show can be original. They depend on the news to make another episode. Seinfeld and other great shows didn't have to do that.
Because it was original. It takes more creativity to entertain audiences by coming up with stuff that's rarely or never been used before.
18-49 is the majority of the television viewing audience. I covered about 10-15 percent of that audience.
Fair enough. But South Park is a far inferior show and many critics will agree. Matter of fact, many people would laugh at the notion of South Park being better than Seinfeld. Not because the show's funnier, but South Park's known for only stirring controversy by shocking people. Seinfeld never depended on toilet humor or shock value to get over.
What the fuck does it matter what it relies on to get ratings? Seinfeld relied on the simple nuances of everyday life. Full House relied on cute babies and sappy storylines. Three's Company relied on Suzanne Somers being hot and John Ritter getting in and out of some outlandish situations. Every sitcom relies on something to get its viewers. You can't just discount it.
If it is really that easy to make a show good then why has no one else been able to do it like South Park? It isn't that simple. South Park takes references to things happening in the world and adds creative storylines around it. The show is the perfect example of satire.
Seinfeld could be the most creative show ever, that doesn't make it great. You could put an Armani suit on Bastion Booger, he's still going to be a fat slob.
.I know plenty of people in their 20's and 30's that love South Park.
Stop with the toilet humor bullshit. Is it part of the show? Sure. Is it the main reason it's successful? Fuck no. Beavis and Butthead was a show that had success because of toilet humor. South Park combines that with great writing and stortytelling. I highly doubt a show with "low quality, sophomoric humor," as you so eloquently put it, would have been nominated 8 times for an Emmy and won 3.
And South Park relies on childish humor and pop culture. And in comparing it to Seinfeld, I can discount it because it makes it inferior to Seinfeld.
No one wants to. That's why.
South Park is VERY simple. It takes about TWO WEEKS, to make the show. Seinfeld was filmed, edited, rehearsed, and put on TV in a span of 3 months. It's a lot tougher to do live action than to do the animation for South Park. Period. And satire? It's a perfect example of satire? Satire is clever. South Park is not.
What a terrible comparison. What they did was put an Armani suit on Ric Flair. Seinfeld got over with more people and had longevity in an era where shows were hard to come by. The only fat slob here is South Park.
You're comparing AWARDS now? OK.
