haha, Wow! That was entertaining. It does not surprise me one bit. It was also kind of cool to see the two different animation styles next to one another. Great Vid!

OMG, great used of BNL!

With 400+ Simpsons episodes it's got to be still quite ripe for mining small plot variants out of. That cover of MAD is great: http://www.collectmad.com/madcoversite/mad458id.jpg

I like the ending too.

wow, family guy did it after simpson, and way better. Simpsons = not funny

Family Guy has never been funny or original.

I found that Simpsons was executed better. And it was done in better taste. But that's just me.

Family Guy is basically a bunch of writers sitting in a room with a tape recorder spouting out everything. "how bout we do this" "how bout we do this"....and then they go an animate it. They throw a TON of stuff at the board, then see what sticks. A shot-gun approach at comedy....scattered far enough it's bound to hit something.

Somewhere hidden deep inside Fox Studios is a secret room containing a thousand diapered monkeys with crayons and steno pads.

Or Manatees...

...or manatees.

SIMPSONS DID IT.

I realise simpsons has done just about everything, but to have that many similarities is just lazy writing... and to be honest, i find the simpsons did it with more zazz. Kinda makes the family guy writing look like they're just shooting in a dimly lit room based around things they grew up with. Darn, and I liked family guy too.

Here's a weird idea. I'm going to continue watching The Simpsons AND Family Guy and they will both make me laugh.

*Gasp!

TV is shit. Even the good stuff. Every series out there has re-hashed plots and verbatim scenes in more than half their episodes.

So, stop watching TV or just let it entertain you slightly while you wait to die but don't act surprised when every scene of every episode of every show on every channel is not original. That would be a fucking creative miracle.

if comedy was new and original, you wouldn't get it. like lucasgreen, i don't see the problem in liking both. heck, i might even still watch futurama sometimes even though it's a total cliche about a guy who lives in the future with a robot. makes me laugh, therefore is funny.

I like FG better. I don't care if it's original or new or whatever. And I agree that every joke stolen by FG is even funnier in their version. Perhaps some time somebody will compare every Simpsons episode with every comedy ever done. I liked Simpsons a lot in the old days and they deserve credit for what they did for the comedy / animation world, but Simpsons repeats itselves too much these days. You can also understand some of the FG jokes as a tribute, if you want.
Upvote anyway.

If anyone expects anything new out of television your barking up the wrong tree. As the song says, its all been done. Except LOST its too friggin weird to be a rehash. You say Gilligans island, and ill brain ya.

family guy is nothing more than a dumbed down version of the simpsons for glue sniffing morons.

i love sniffing glue!
