beyond obvious similarities, it seems that family guy takes more than base ideas from the simpsons.

    It's kinda like Louis C.K. and Dane Cook. Louis C.K., more original. Dane Cook, much better delivery. -shrugs-

    I swear... hadn't South Park done this? Before the Simpsons hell the COSBY SHOW probably did it tongue.gif The thing is the jokes aren't exact and as long as they haven't completely outright stolen it ala Mencia... it's alright. But it's an interesting video regardless.

    Bill Hicks, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison, and Doug Stanhope are the coolest comedians by far, but Hedberg and Steven Wright are good when it comes to telling jokes. Demetri Martin is good at that too, in a less non-sequitir delivery.

    Dane Cook sucks. Carlos Mencia sucks, and Denis Leary is a major asshole for stealing his shit from bill hicks.

    I guess I'm the only one that noticed that Family Guy, The Simpsons, and Futurama are all very similar. Futurama and The Simpsons have the same creator though, I believe.

    New jokes don't come around often, most are just deviations from the originals. I'd take my ideas from the Simpsons too, look how successful that show has become.

    This has been going around since the show first started. Sure they are similar but not everything is original anymore. Family Guy is now on the same format now and is just getting OLD. Simpsons has like 100 characters to work with but the show still sucks.

    What? Most of his jokes are not funny. I only laughed at the his joke about Karen and how everyone hates her and also him naming his kids after transformers. That is all that I have laughed it tongue.gif. Otherwise, he just does stupid crap like impersonating a snake 1we8.gif.

    Bottom line is they're both great shows... although simpsons has been pretty shity for the last few seasons. It's normal that they have similarities, some for sure are really just almost the same, but whatever. It's not the end of the world.
