Family Guy vs. The Simpsons


In this post we are going to talk about two famous cartoon snows on FOX named Family Guy and The Simpsons. One of them is pretty intense cartoon with the strong joke and phrases which make you laugh hard and unexpected. You are never know what is going to be next while other one have smart and delicate jokes that entertains you during the episode. Both of those snows you can watch on Fox or any other channel. 





Family guy is younger cartoon show that The Simpsons. In Season 10, Episode 22 called Family Guy Viewer Mail #2 main characters Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin said that this show is based on The Simpsons…

Griffins are a family that makes different funny things which many people cannot afford to do in real life. Peter Griffin is retarded in funny way head of family. In every episode he involves in humorous story.

Housewife Louise Griffin seems to be the most reasonable character in this show, except their son Stewie and his dog Brian. Inspire of that, sometimes she has weaknesses and complicated and dirty past.  They also have a daughter Meg. As far as viewer can see whole family hates her…

She was unwanted child in this family and they treat her like a weird person. In many episodes her father and mother and almost everybody humiliate her in different ways, but she is strong and  can handle an embarrassment. 

One of the brightest characters is Stewie, who is a baby-genius. In the beginning of the show he had many gadgets and weapons that he developed by himself, but then he became just an ordinary guy who is a genius. Only dog knows about it.

Brian. He is definitely a thinker, writer and dreamer. Many times he tried to get  famous as a writer, but readers didn't like his books. Whole family laughed at him. His personal life is not going well either... 

It is hard to say who is smarter Stewie or Brain, but looks like first one is more intelligent and got theoretical knowledge while Brain is more than average smart and has practical knowledge.

The show Family Guy has really strong jokes and parodies. All those hilarious stories and cutouts- make you laugh hard. You never know what turn is going to be next. 

Their style is dynamic and they just play with human emotion. There are many situation that you can observe in real life. Authors have noticed people's behavior, way they speak, all kinds of accents, some interesting moment in a relationships and show it to you in really funny way. 

The style of this show is pretty simple: situation, joke, back to story line. If you want to understand it, you should notice disconnect between words and actions. That is how Family Guy made. 


The Simpsons. It is probably one of the oldest shows on FOX. It is about family that always gets into interesting stories. This show has more intelligent and has delicate jokes. It is kind of social sitcom, where you can see a parody of the society.  There are many jokes but they are not very obvious as in Family Guy.


Homer Simpson is a head of the family. He is simple: he does stupid things and then deals with consequences. Almost every episode he has an “idea” that makes viewer laugh.  His wife Marge is also housewife, also reasonable, but she had no dark past like Louise Griffin. She is supportive wife and loving mother. 

This family has kinds. The smallest child Meg never grows up since late 80-s. She is a baby with a pacifier… She doesn't walk, doesn't talk, but  does funny faces and uses body language to communicate. 

Lisa is the smartest kid in this family. Parents love her. She is the best student at school. She is the best at everything she does. Lisa loves animals so much. She is vegetarian. Sometimes she works on different  wild life protection projects. Lisa has a  bother who is totally different... 

Bart – is the oldest kid in Simpsons’ family. He doesn't like school and makes joke on everyone, even on his principal. He doesn't care about education because he likes to have fun. He is kind of bad boy from the good perspective.

Simpsons have pets – retarded dog and  normal cat. They don't talk like Brain Griffin in Family Guy. Santa’s little helper (dog) and Snowball (cat) they are just pets. 

The Simpsons show has funny and pretty entertaining jokes. They are not so dynamic and unexpected like in Family Guy, but they have its own style. All jokes in Simpson's are part of main story. There no cutouts in this show. This show is interesting and has its style.  

What show would you like to watch it depends on your expectations. If you like rough and crude humor with the sexual meaning then Family Guy is for you. But if you like delicate smart jokes about society and family relations then you should probably watch The Simpsons. It is up to you!
