With 2 simple words, I can give the feels to anyone who has watched it from start to end: dog episode.
@icedquinn
1) I did say animated, so no.
2) This thing didn't even reach my years until very recently, so still no.
@bagofshit
TBH even I can't really make up my mind which I like better. Maybe I'd call early Simpsons slightly better than early South Park. But with Futurama in the mix it's really hard for me to decide.
If we're going by them at their heights it would be for me:
The Simpsons > Futurama > South Park
@endlessmike @bagofshit
True. But Flintstones is ancient history now.
Yeah. New ones are so much better. Like that pony one is super good I hear.
Fair enough, that WAS pretty good. Still, I haven't seen anything new that has captured my spirit like South Park.
South Park of course. It's the best introduction to american culture that can possibly exist. Next Futurama because SciFi and DAT FINAL ENDING that feels just right.
@nerdman
What South Park managed very well for a while was to repackage politic subject in ways you couldn't really notice. Now they can't seem to manage to make them as subtle as in the older days.
Well. Did you see season 16? I got to rewatch the ending but I think that it's basically them saying they don't want to do it anymore but they money is still too good.
@nerdman
I need to check it again, cause I don't remember off the top of my head what the season was. I did all of South Park though. Caught up on it these last few days.
I'm referring to the episode where Stan starts seeing and hearing everything as being shit and cures it by starting to drink alcohol.
I think it's Trey and Matt subtly telling us they really can't give much of a shit anymore.
Still appreciate their efforts.
@nerdman@kiwifarms.cc @alyx@gameliberty.club that was basically wen south park took a shitdive in quality. only recently tegrity farms has brought the quality back a bit
@nerdman
Oh, that one I remember quite well. I guess I'd interpret it as an admission that their work isn't that good anymore, but they're still going forward while accepting that they can't reach the same standard.
I don't remember money being a big theme of the episode, so it's harder for me to see it as "we're still doing it for the money".
Yeah, your take probably more accurate than mine. I love Trey and Matt. And we are getting older.
@nerdman
I recently saw a clip of the episode, and I think it was Kyle that gives Stan the advice to keep going forward by taking a left turn instead. This I see as an admission that the show can't really continue in the same formula, and they need to change things around a bit. And after that we can indeed see some season wide themes being introduced for instance.
I had to put "in the early days" stipulation, since comparing them today would be unfair. Futurama is long dead, and The Simpsons should be dead. I think in their beginnings they are more equal with each other, thus making the poll more interesting.
