Top 10 Reasons Why Family Guy is Better Than The Simpsons

The Top Ten
1 Family Guy Takes Risks
2 Family Guy Has Better Characters

Homer vs. Peter: Peter. Homer has been shown to be homophobic, racist, sexist, and abusive. Peter is hilarious, plus you can actually see why Peter and Lois are together.

Marge vs. Lois: Lois. Marge has cheated on Homer. Marge isn't actually very funny.

Bart vs. Chris: Neither. Both are annoying and have serious issues.

Lisa vs. Meg: Meg. Lisa is so preachy and self-righteous. She tries to force her beliefs on other people and is really annoying when she does.

Maggie vs. Stewie: Stewie. Maggie is occasionally funny, but most of the time she does nothing. Stewie is one of Family Guy's strongest characters.

Santa's Little Helper vs. Brian: Brian. Santa's Little Helper does nothing. He is just a normal dog. Brian is hilarious, and he and Stewie are a great duo.

3 Stewie

I still prefer The Simpsons, but Stewie and Brian are legendary.

4 The Simpsons are Trying to Be Like Family Guy Now

I hate The Simpsons nowadays. I used to love it, but now I hate it. I already hated when they called Family Guy "plagiarism" because I felt like they refused to accept that Family Guy is a better show.

Of course, everyone found it funny and hated when Family Guy made fun of other shows because Family Guy is essentially the punching bag for the Internet. I think The Simpsons is just a blatant rip-off of Family Guy, or at least it is nowadays.

The show never acknowledges this because the writers assume that the people who watch their show are too ignorant to notice. Homer Simpson is now doing things only Peter Griffin would do and act like. Marge is turning into the Protestant mother who is Lois Griffin. Lisa is now acting like Brian Griffin at his absolute worst, and Maggie, I hate Maggie the most. I hate how the writers basically stole Stewie's character and claimed it as their own.

The only original character left is Bart, and he's a bad character. As a dedicated Family Guy fan, I am outraged that The Simpsons are doing this. They've basically just become a full-on knockoff of Family Guy at this point. That's why I hate the show and believe Family Guy is way better. I don't even want to think The Simpsons is superior in any way.

5 Peter
6 It Has So Many Gags
7 It's Funnier

I like The Simpsons better, but I have to admit that Family Guy makes me laugh more.

8 Everyone Looks Like They Would in Real Life and Not Yellow
9 The Simpsons is Dated

The Simpsons was comedy gold for about seven seasons (or more, depending on your opinion). Nowadays, it just reeks of age, and it irritates me to see how much of a sellout it is.

10 Family Guy Makes Funny Jokes, the Simpsons are Afraid To

In this world of political correctness, despite Family Guy announcing the cancellation of "homophobic" jokes, Family Guy still refuses to adapt to it, which makes Family Guy still great.

People who criticize Family Guy for being too "mean" are missing the point. Family Guy was always like that. It was always supposed to be the anti-family sitcom, and it still is.

While The Simpsons now feels like your average safe family sitcom, Family Guy is still embracing its original spirit and hasn't forgotten it. It still challenges the viewer and tries to make humor out of otherwise dark situations, which was what Family Guy always did, whether you think it was well executed or not.

The Simpsons doesn't have the power to do that anymore because it is now targeted at families, something it was always supposed to go against. But Family Guy has said no, we will not start being "safe." We're willing to ruffle everyone's feathers. They are against those good old-fashioned values, while The Simpsons now feels the need to stay safe and adapt to these good old-fashioned values.

The Contenders
11 The Simpsons Should Have Been Cancelled at Season 16

No, no, no. The Simpsons needed to be canceled at season 11. Season 10 was the last good season.

The movie should have been the series finale.

12 Seth Macfarlane is Hosting the Oscars
13 Half of the Simpsons Male Characters are Played by Girls
14 The Simpsons Have Gone Too Far

I think this means that it's been on too long, which, I'm sorry to say, it has.

15 Bart is So Unfunny
16 The Simpsons Relies on Celebrity Cameos

My favorite celebrity cameo in Family Guy is Michael Jackson. But I like other celebrities too.

17 Lisa's Jokes are So Forced It Hurts
18 Family Guy Has Done Star Wars
19 Too Many Episodes About Lisa
20 Meg
21 Meg's Abuse is Funnier Than Bart's Strangles

Meg's suffering is unrealistic, and Bart getting strangled is actual child abuse.

23 Milhouse is So Annoying
24 The Simpsons Has Marge
25 Family Guy Has a Pedo "Herbert"
