dude the simpsons is soooo much more than homer. chief wiggum is fucking great, every burns episode is great, fat tony is great, patty and selma were great, Snake is great. the list goes on. it is stupid to say that seinfeld is better written for a couple reasons. 1) they are trying to do different things. i.e. seinfeld is more clever and witty and makes a lot of jokes about everyday life, as well as sex and relationships. the simpsons make fun of the bible and tons of other things and people using historical references, as well as saying shit thats stupid but really funny. 2) given #1, you dont have to be very intelligent to understand all the jokes in seinfeld, you just basically need to be a human being that functions in society. to understand all the jokes in. the simpsons, you have to be pretty fucking well educated and intelligent. but its also funny for people who arent historical genious'.

therefore, if i were to pick one, i would say simpsons is better written, because of its ability to mix in flat out funny shit with great historical references. BUT, i still stand by my original statement that you cant really compare the two because the make light of different things, and have different goals.

what really tilts me is when someone says something like, " oh dude, i love the simpsons, i watch it every week." its like, bitch, those episodes suck balls. its people like you who keep it on air.

i both shows

and wat is all this generation bridging talk?
