| To me it looks like it's directed towards edgy 12 years olds I don't know any normal adult that would laugh at rape jokes and fart jokes |
| Maybe they aren't targeted at normal adult. |

I've found a high degree of support for them among those I know.I don't know any normal adult that would laugh at rape jokes and fart jokes Frankly, they are aimed particularly at teenagers through college level, but not strictly there. The jokes are often indeed more juvenile, but the content is also clearly above what is considered acceptable for much of that age bracket (part of the appeal). The satirical aspects also appeal to a slightly older crowd. |
| Well, I'm an adult and I enjoy Family Guy and South Park. |

| The creators of South Park know that a lot of children watch their show. But they aren't their primary target audience. Underneath all the dick and fart jokes is a lot of social commentary, references and parodies that most 12 year olds couldn't care less about. Just head over to A.V Club's episode reviews of South Park and read the comments section. Most of the community there is made up of 20 somethings to even parents, having the most civil debate on the issue the episode deals with (and of course, the dick and fart jokes). |
Yes, I've watched them And I see nothing that contradicts the fact that it's for edgy 12 year olds |
| Because they deal with current political themes. Though South Park has undergone changes over the years. In the beginning it did seem to be more focused of profanity, but now it pretty much always reflects what is going on in the real world. I prefer Futurama myself, though. |
| Because they make jokes, references, and have violent or sexual depictions that aren't suitable for children. It's pretty obvious really. The fart and rape jokes are actually pretty immature, but it just puts it more in that range of 18-mid/late 20s depending on the viewer. Yeah, teens watch them, and especially "edgy 12 year olds" because they want to watch something that's meant for adults partly because they're trying to act like they're mature and partly because it's "forbidden" or at least not meant for them. |
| You only need to watch one episode of each to see why they're aimed at adults, it's not hard. |

They criticize so many things, not only the political aspect. The jokes are funny if you like black humor. The fart jokes are just meh, either you like 'em or you don't... I love Family Guy and American Dad. It's all about loveable/funny characters and they have the best. |
| I think Family Guy and South Park are for dumb Americans who have yet to discover the magic of anime. |
| Cross-country >>>>>>>>>>>> Every other sport |
| I don't like Family Guy but I love South Park. |
| It's obviously not geared towards kids with the content and approach of comedy. What I don't understand though, is how The Simpsons aims for an adult audience lol... |
| They are for adults, they often deal with and satirize adult issues including politics. |
 |
South park is good, Family guy is utter garbage. American dad is better but meh and Cleveland are just boring. Happy tree friends if that counts is just gore for the sake of gore, Simpsons is good for nostalgia's sake, Futurama is solid and Rick and morty is a 9/10 amazing show, best adult cartoon.  |
| I don't know it's edgy shit for kids anyways... |

| Why are K-On!, Elfen Lied, and Bartender all seinen? Different people like different things. |

| Having 'mature content' doesn't actually mean a show is targeted to mature audiences. It's honestly the opposite most of the time. |

| I'll grant that the early seasons of South Park were somewhat immature but it has grown into one of the best satires I have ever seen. It usually pokes fun at how people tend to overreact to and get offended by trivial things and generally does so in highly amusing ways. Family Guy started off quite funny but has become rather stale as of late. This can be largely attributed to the use of interchangeable cutaway gags. |
Take care of yourself |
| I kinda liked South Park when I was kid. It has a bit of all-ages appeal, the insults or the satires. Most that say a show is too violente or rude for kids are those that don't know that nowadays thats what kids actually consume. |
Sherlupin said: I don't know any normal adult that would laugh at rape jokes and fart jokes Then perhaps you don't know enough normal adults lol Or perhaps I know too many abnormal adults that I perceive to be normal Idk about Family Guy, but South Park has more than just silly jokes |

Eve778 said: I think Family Guy and South Park are for dumb Americans who have yet to discover the magic of anime. What if I like anime and south park? Guess I'm some kinda of mutant freak South Park does have more going on than it first seems. It is one of the few comedy shows to actually get better over time, as it has more social commentary and satire than bbefore. As someone else in the thread said, it has both dick jokes and genuine satirical wit. Family Guy however is garbage. |
| Because they're rated for adults. (Except for France, I think, where they're rated for ages 10+.) |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I watched family guy and south part when I was about 10 years old. I truly do not know why it's for adults. |

| Some people think that farting, blood, fucking and such thing is 'content for adults'. They always happen to be very young. |

shotz_ said: i am a full grown well educated adult. i've watched both since i was a young teen and still think they're hilarious. obviously south park has maintained its quality longer than family guy. but tbf it's also just cool to hate family guy now. i guarantee you most of these band-wagoners were laughing at it in its peak 10 years ago. i like current shows like bo jack horseman and bob's burgers alright but they still don't have shit on family guy in 2005. and yeah nothing wrong with stupid humor either. i like many types of humor. i'm sorry the stick up your ass keeps you from laughing at a fart joke. sounds like a fun life you must lead. I'm in pretty much the same boat as you. I've been watching Family Guy and South Park for well over ten years. I found them hilarious back then and I still find them hilarious now. Yeah it's not exactly Frasier levels of classy humour but I think people would be surprised to find out just how intelligent and talented Parker & Stone and MacFarlane are if they ever gave them the chance. |

| They aren't, animation is for children. |
Hatred said: south park is definitely not for 12 year olds.It has inappropriate scenes and dirty jokes but these jokes ARE for 12 year olds. |
Hatred said: no they aren't?i don't think that they would be able to get any of the jokes if they watched south park In that case give me an example of a funny joke that 12 year olds wouldn't understand. |
Hatred said: Sherlupin said: In that case give me an example of a funny joke that 12 year olds wouldn't understand. i'm too lazy to rewatch south park just so i can type one of the jokes on here yeah right the truth is you can't prove anuthing you say |
Sherlupin said: Hatred said: no they aren't?i don't think that they would be able to get any of the jokes if they watched south park In that case give me an example of a funny joke that 12 year olds wouldn't understand. Pretty sure 12 year olds don't understand jokes about Johnny Cochran's legal defense of OJ Simpson. |

| OP is 2edgy4me fam. I don't like it myself but there are adults who like satire and even fart jokes. |
Bobby2Hands said: Sherlupin said: In that case give me an example of a funny joke that 12 year olds wouldn't understand. Pretty sure 12 year olds don't understand jokes about Johnny Cochran's legal defense of OJ Simpson. I'm pretty sure there are as much adults as kids that aren't familiar with Johnny Cochran's legal defense of OJ Simpson. next. |
| I'm just gonna leave it here. I don't really care about family guy. p.s. Good Lord people on mal can be such arrogant pricks sometimes. |

Hatred said: no they aren't?i don't think that they would be able to get any of the jokes if they watched south park I've got some 14-year-old friends and they still find dick and shit hilarious. They're intelligent dudes who'll sharpen their humor later, but this is the age group that's into profanity. |

| Don't know any normal adults that would be into watching cutesy little girls drinking tea and doing nothing yet K-On and certain other moe shows are seinen and watched by adult otaku Japanese men. Not everything has to be super serious to be for adults and the stuff SouthPark parodies like gentrification, Scientology, double standards in regard to teacher and student relationships, gun culture, political correctness, drug addiction/ drug trafficking would go over kids heads. People who think South Park are just dick jokes are retarded and some weebs are probably still butthurt about the Chinpokomon episode. |

| South Park humour is definitely aimed, mostly, at older groups. It satires (without necessary picking a side) subjects aimed mostly at older people. Though a good portion of it's fanbase, regardless of demographics, just like to snicker and proclaim "I'm not picking a side, I'm just laughing at everyone. I have no opinions whatsoever!". It often promotes that train of thought, sadly. I find myself going "oo that's right haha" often, but don't form your political/social opinions from South Park guys. And I know plenty of grown adults who like Family's Guy's crude humour, I have no idea why but... |

Innocence and intelligence are different things. I didn't get Pixar films until I was a teenager finishing high school. Sure, I enjoyed it when I was young but I didn't get the big jokes or the deep psychology. |
