Like information technology or not, Hollywood is filled with feuds and controversies. Amongst one of the about baroque, is the peppery anger that exists between the creators of two of the most successful adult blithe comedies of all time... Family Guy and South Park.

Hither'southward the existent reason these two shows absolutely despise each other...

The Reason South Park Hates Family Guy

During a discussion about their almost controversial episode of Southward Park, co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Rock said that more people commenting on the fact they ripped on Family Guy than what caused the media uproar, depicting Mohammed. This is because there seems to be a lot of hate out in that location for Seth MacFarlane's Family unit Guy. At least, this is the perspective of the creators of Due south Park who openly hate their adult animated evidence competitor. They likewise made sure to reveal why exactly they dislike it so much and it goes beyond petty contest.

"I just want to say for the record right now, we've seen Family unit Guy, it's… it's… we practise hate it," Trey Parker said in the interview. "Nosotros do detest Family Guy. And we totally understand that people love it, and that's why we put information technology in the show. We understand that information technology speaks to some people, and it can just exist a simple laugh, and that'south bang-up… and we certainly don't think it should be taken off the air or anything like that. We just don't respect it in terms of writing."

"That's probably the best way to put it," Matt Stone said.

Trey went on to explain that he dislikes Family unit Guy and then much considering they always practise the one thing that they avert in the author's room on S Park, and that'south gags. Family Guy is known for its gags. In fact, many of their gags troll some of the biggest movies, celebrities, and even news stories. But they're normally not connected to the story of each episode. They were just in that location for laughs.

This is what Matt and Trey disrespect.

All of their comedic moments come out of their skillfully set-upwards stories, their characters, and the world of S Park itself. This is considering every episode of the show really deals with a legitimate issue that the writers are curious about exploring. With all its childish moments, gross-out humour, and offensive comedy, South Park is ultimately one of the best satires always made. Information technology allows us to reevaluate our position in the world, the structures in place to govern united states, our relationships, and even our interests and hobbies. And so at that place's how S Park teaches us about things like racism, antisemitism, and sexism.

While Family Guy may do this as well, the creators of Southward Park don't call up they do it well enough.

"I call up what makes me disappointed near Family Guy is that it could exist an amazing show," Matt Rock said. "You can tell in that location are smart people working on it."

"I don't think they work hard enough," Trey Parker added. "They need to work harder."

Not but do the creators of Due south Park hate Family Guy, only they also claimed that many other blithe comedy writers hate it also... they're simply not as vocal about it.

In the same interview, Matt and Trey said that after their anti-Family Guy episode aired people from The Simpsons called to give thanks them. This is somewhat surprising given the fact that there has been a cross-over episode between Family Guy and The Simpsons. They are on the same network, after all. Merely that doesn't hateful everyone who works at The Simpsons likes the prove that clearly (and absolutely) stole ideas from them.

On superlative of that, Matt and Trey claimed that writers from King of the Hill besides threw their support backside S Park'due south attempt to throw accurate shots at Family unit Guy.

Matt And Trey Know Their Family Guy Hate Is 'Upsortsmanlike'

In another interview, Matt and Trey admitted that they know that ripping on Family unit Guy is "tacky". In fact, they chosen information technology "lame and unsportsmanlike", but that just makes them want to do it more... because it's funny.

"And it's sort of a childish jealousy affair too, because it'southward like come on, our stuff is cooler," Trey Parker admitted.

Matt added that information technology's also fun to take shots at Family Guy because they get twice the ratings that South Park does. Because the prove is bigger, it's easier to ridicule.

How Seth MacFarlane Feels Nearly It All

While Matt and Trey had said that they've never bumped into Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane at whatsoever consequence (due to their reclusive nature), Seth has found ways to respond to the S Park creators.

During an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Seth explained that he tries not to get personal about Matt and Trey'southward feelings. This is because Family Guy takes and then many shots at people that it would be hypocritical if he did. Merely that doesn't mean he isn't a bit annoyed by it.

"You lot know, they don't similar the manner the show is prepare," Seth said to Howard. "They don't see it as a legitimate form of comedy… You know the two-parter they did on united states was very funny. But so I read this article where they were actually just spitting venom at the states, and at our staff, and I was like, 'well that'due south kind of lame.' I was similar, 'become after me all y'all want only don't go picking on writers that you don't fifty-fifty know, who are making much less money than you.'"
