the simpsons vs family guy vs southpark

I'd have to agree completely. I think that progressively, South Park has become more and more funny in my opinion because it cracks humor at current issues of society. More and more celebrities (J-Lo, Paris Hilton, etc) are finally being "honored" for the idiots they are; I just cant get enough.
Family Guy is much more witty than South Park; the humor isn't always flat-out funny and sometimes presents intellectual humor as it's base for an episode. This isnt always true, but I think the episodes where you actually have to think about what they're saying is what makes the show just as, if not more, funny.
I guess I'd go with South Park simply because I've been watching longer, and I've slowly grown away from The Simpsons because it's really not as funny as it used to be (Seasons 4-7 were the best). The creators have been focusing more on Futurama, which I think deserves a spot in this poll; some people might disagree.

Futurama's been dead for quite some time.
I never saw what the big deal about the Simpsons was in the first place. I've seen the episodes where the series "peaked" and I'm thinking "That's it? These are the legendary Simpsons episodes?" I guess they were just funnier at the time. But it's hard to complete with Family Guy and South Park.
If Futurama was up there, I'd say South Park > Family Guy > Futurama > The Simpsons

Well, I've heard the argument before that Family Guy doesn't try to make a joke, it's all just references and if you can't remember the reference, you can't find it funny. I don't find that to be true though, I still think it's funny even when I don't get some of the references.
South Park isn't really witty. It's more "in your face". But sometimes that couldn't be better. The Paris Hilton episode. Come on, that was flat out genius, even if it wasn't witty.
I think the thing I like the most about Futurama is the level of creativity. It's not the funniest show in the world, but it takes a lot of effort to come up with a whole new kind of world and make it seem so real.

I find that I actually get most of the refrences, but I think the show would still be funny with out them. There's always The Family Guy reference archives for those really obscure ones though. A lot are from history or movies though; like the many Monty Python references.
Exactly! That's why I like that show so much. I happily watch the reruns on Adult Swim, and I own the DVDs.
