Explain what you mean by Seth having a bigger impact than Dave by a LONG SHOT!

How about having a TV show on a prime time network for 10 seasons? How about have not one but 2 spin off shows? Its first two seasons alone sold 1.6 million DVDs while the second volume sold another million. Vol7. sold 250K in its first week! Seth has 2 Prime Time Emmys and just co-starred in a major motion picture. Like I said ITS NOT CLOSE!
 
In terms of Hollywood status and numbers, Seth is bigger obviously... I dont think that's what most of were talking about though when we said "impact".

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.
 
Lol @ niggas over rating Eddie Murphy. He just isn't as funny as Dave. Pryor is funny but he had no follow through and Dave does.
 
Dave has a bigger impact because he was saying something, Seth McFarland doesn't say shit. He just does shocking comedy mostly. Cheap laughs. No content.
 
The martin lawrences and jamie foxxes and paul mooneys....football comparison doesnt stick, yall young niggas need to chill. He had a great 2 year run
 
trey parker and matt stone > Seth mcfarlane....

Dave wins this argument...Dave hasnt done a stand-up for the masses and his show been off for about 8 years now and people still quoting lines on a daily basis...

Since when did pop culture have anything to do with "content" pop culture in its very nature is devoid of any "content" . And to say that Family Guy hasnt made political statements is retarded. Dave isnt even close to Seth McFarland in terms of impact on pop culture...it isnt close.

Im done with this thread after i saw peope putting dave over eddie and that retarded football comparison. Stop over rating him

semi cosign....

i think those that put dave over eddie are from the younger generation...anyone that grew up listening/watching eddie would deem someone like dave chappelle/katt williams(wack)/kevin hart, being better, as blasphemous....thats not taking away anything from dave....im 26, so i didnt necessarily grow up on eddie murphy, i had to play catch up...same with richard pryor...but i heard these niggas way before D.C. these niggas had me gasping for breath, lauhing uncontrollably...i mean i had their shows on VHS, these guys were the originators....

i tried showing my ace some eddie murphy A year ago, he is one year older than me, but never got into standup until the katt williams days....and he thought eddie was rubbish, he just didnt get it....hurt my soul man

 
Dave chappelle is astronomically better than Hart and Katy williams. What fucking political statement has family guy made?

Pop culture is anything relevant culturally. The term redefines itse based on public interest. Dave talks of unity and fabricated differences. Rick James, racial draft, the niggers, those things will be fixtures long after McFarland. Because McFarland can be duplicated Chappelle is more difficult to duplicate. McFarland, Simpsons, and south park are one in the same.
 
Id pick Dave Chapelle. He kind of did some Ali shit. As far as integrity goes. Like told comedy central to kiss his ass

Keep that money. I'll keep my dignity. He was on the brink of snapping, on some Martin Lawrence shit.

Plus he did that block party joint where he took the Central State marching band to New York outta his own pocket

And he actually stays in Yellow Springs Ohio. Dude said fuck hollyweird.

But on the real family guy be touching on some real shit though.

They take shots at everybody. Religions, ethnic groups, politicians, celebrities. Nobody's safe.

This is some of the most retarded shit I have ever read! Again and for the last time POPular culture has fuck all to do with how impact full your political statements are. You put a pic of Stewie up beside a pic of Dave and show it to 1000 people. If you seriously believe that the vast majority will reconfigure Dave over Stewie, or Brian or Peter...you need serious help. Selema Gomez, Justin Beiber, NSync are all vapid useless muppets and each one of them have had a FAR greater influence on POPular Culture than Dave. Stop adding this political angle just because you want to make a point. It's bullahit.

Agree, and also: Dave made skits on race, social class, etc and shit in the real world hasn't changed one bit. Justin Bieber released one lousy song, and you got every fucking white boy in the world under 21 getting that wind-swept hairstyle. In terms of pop culture phenomena in the last 10 years: Angry Birds, Justin Bieber, Twilight, CoD, Susan Boyle, Harry Potter, Facebook/Twitter rise > Dave Chappelle. Shit I even got Farmville in front of Chappelle.
