@rage you brought up political statements I expanded. Your literally redefining the thread topic. Are Stewey Brian and them more popular visibly? Yea, but did they impact pop culture any differently than any south park or Simpsons character? No so there impact is marginal. Chappellw is the smartest black comic there is. White people love him as do black people. He broke barriers and left 50million on the table. Those are ground breaking pop cultural things. His no dressing up like a women clause is monumental. This isn't political. Re-evaluate the thread topic. Yes family guy is more recognizable. Impactful, no!

Jesus christ sometimes you niggers make me sick.

Black Dynamite is the best show ever since the Boondocks.

Dave Chapelle has had a much bigger impact than Seth Macfarlane because he makes me laugh more.

You're the same people who wanna pretend you got Obama elected and Grape Soda counts as a serving of fruit.

chapelle by far. seth just copied what the simpsons did.

All that has to be said..

Family guy > Simpsons imo tho.

Simpsons at their best >>>> Family Guy at its best

Ted was funny as hell tho. it was like a really well focused no holds barred family guy episode. you could tell seth loved doing it.

South Park >>> Family Guy as well. Ted was fucking hilarious though.
 
Seth MacFarlane by far.

Consider this, years ago he helped write on and launch the original "Johnny Bravo" back in the day, that takeoff helped the careers of Butch Hartman, Genndy Tarkarvosky and Craig McCracken who forged the Fairly OddParents, Powerpuff Girls, Foster's Home for Imaginary Parents, and basically gave way to a lot of the kid shows we have right now. Seth also is great friends and feeds ideas with Matt Groening, despite everyone saying how he rips off "The Simpsons". His own show, Family Guy, has been immensely successful, launching four spin-off movies, three of which are based on a concept done and approved by George Lucas, two spin-off shows currently also on network television.

In terms of impact, Seth MacFarlane has his hands in a lot of different projects, shows and movies, which has aided in a lot of people's careers going forward. Chappelle has a few catchphrases and his show and stand-up sets are hilarious, there is no diminishing that at all, but aside from that what other impact has he had?? What careers has he furthered, what trends has he started that maintain to today, what has he done since Block Party?? Yes, he refused to fall in Hollywood's standards and that is respectable, but what else??

Chappelle is funnier (by the way, people need to watch Eddie Murphy Raw and stop disrespecting the man, give him his due), but MacFarlane has had a far greater impact for pop culture and continues to do so.
 
Depends on what you consider the impact on pop culture to mean....

Chappelle will be known as someone who stood up for what he believed in, put forth live-action comedy that tested the boundaries, broke records on Comedy Central, and will always be infamous for what he's done.

MacFarlane isn't really the face per se for Family Guy. He's the architect of course, but people identify with his animated characters. I think there's the disconnect and why people might not know Macfarlane himself, but they know his characters. So behind the scenes, MacFarlane has built an empire, but at what cost?

I get the argument for both answers of course, but I rock with Chappelle on this.

Didn't even know all that...Seth was part of our childhood...

You'd be surprised man at how much influence the guy has had over the year.

Again, I am not knocking Chappelle for his contributions or his comedic genius, but as far as an impact, MacFarlane has been doing it for longer and have been doing it in many different places.

 
You guys are not paying attention. Influential on popular culture and popularity are not the same. Again, how has McFarland influenced the culture. He has made popular pop culture characters and shows not influential. For instance...Carter 3 sold more than illmatic, but which one is more influential?
 
Eddie Murphy Is The Michael Jordan Of Comedy...The Best All Round Comedian Of All Time...The Impressions, The Timing, The Storytelling, The Punchlines...GTFOH With Chapelle Being Funnier Than Eddie Or Richard For That Matter
 
Eddie Murphy is not better than Bill Cosby, Carlin, Hicks, Chappelle or Pryor. He is funny without purpose. No way he is the goat
