Both.
Fun shows, but I guess I go for the nothing is tabu humor of south park more (showing mohamed as a dude who can shoot fire out of his hands and so on).

I like South Park better. It's more hilarious at the times. And sometimes the jokes on family guy are down right weird.
Also South Park stays right on the money, because of quick production they can laugh with topics that are still recent.

Although south park has some hilarious episodes, I would have to say family guy is better. Simply because the episodes frequently come out and are humorous.

As much as I like Family Guy, I think I generally find myself enjoying South Park more when I manage to catch an episode(only watch it occasionally). True, the killing Kenny all the time thing got really old after a while, which is why they eventually just let the joke die, and only use it occasionally, instead of every episode...
I had a class a few weeks back where the teacher had us watch a behind the scenes thing on the production cycle for each episode of South Park(which took place during the production of the iTunes episode, I think, if anyone recalls that one...), which was a pretty interesting documentary on the overall process, and the crazy short amount of time they finish each episode in...
Honestly though, I think the thing about South Park that appeals to me most is the fact that they aren't afraid to make fun of anyone and everyone. Political Correctness is such Bread and Spaghetti now-a-days, some people just need to learn to take a joke...

I used to like family guy more, but lately family guy's jokes have been really weird and demonized . Peter used to learn a lesson at the end of every episode like a good sitcom dad should. It just shouldn't be called family guy anymore.
South Park however, was never serious or educational. They never wanted themselves, or anyone else, to take it seriously. It's probably the dumbest show on TV, but it's an organized stupidity that a lot of shows can't pull off. They want you to laugh, that is all..
EDIT: Honestly, the only other shows I've seen pull it off, is Aqua Teen and Robot Chicken

I think you may be confused here. Granted the earlier seasons of South park were mostly generalized moral skewing and seeing how far they could push the bar on censorship, the latter ones were heavily central about satirizing topical views in order to illustrate a point about a subject.
Family guy (and other shows) evolved in the EXACT same way -- starting as a show based around episodic self-contained plots with minor "lesson learned" outcomes and later (after the reboot) becoming more about topical matters.
The difference in the two shows is what presentation qualities they chose to refine over time. Family Guy focuses on its non-sequitur cutaways and now even fourth-walls the characters and production itself whilst South Park focuses on taking a simple scenario or situation and overemphasizing it to ridiculous extremes.
Both shows have bold character-driven designs (but not necessarily development). For instance although Family Guy sets to portraying and exploring strong class & social stereotypes, South park focuses more on abstract qualities / personality traits of a character -- which certainly does make it more creative & unique in this particular aspect.
The comedy value is obviously a subjective area, but you can easily break down which show has the highest production, moral, literary, or even philosophical value if you delve deeply enough into comparisons.

South Park has the most discomforting voices...Family Guy for the win.

I dislike South Park because of this, as well as the show's ridiculously lacking and offensive jokes. Family Guy is hilarious because of the continuous flashbacks and irrelevant side events, which rarely show biased opinions that reach the extremes of South Park. I mean, the fact that Stewie is ticklish is nullified by the lack of people that know his orientation. You never see Peter's manhood due to his extreme obesity, while Cartman's "doodle" is noticeably filtered in cettain scenes.

What's the point in doing an analytic comparison thread on two subjects if everyone is just going to sling in their personal biased perspectives?
I set a groundwork template with my post on how to properly distinguish specific qualities while remaining completely neutral and objective.
You bring absolutely nothing constructive to any discussion by giving just your collection of unsupported data. If you are going to make a post in this thread, at least offer a partial breakdown on relative qualities between the two -- one that's not affected by your own personal belief system and one that does not improperly highlight one over the other.

The whole point of the thread was what people think of each show and what the like more. Nothing to do with breaking down the style of humor used and the way their topics are portrayed and so on.
The thread asks for personal opinions ^^

What would be the purpose? What does one hope to gain from such information? If this is for a statistical survey, then why are users providing supplemental input?
How does this thread help the world?

Utilizing "opinion" is nothing more than a crutch for a lacking of fact and/or science.

How do 90% of the threads in this section make sense in the long run?
It doesn't, he asked a question that he was curious about and we are providing answers. As for the users providing supplemental input. that's just how humans are when creating opinions. We tend to add the answer to the question "Why" to our opinion.
