Southpark or Duckman

Duckman. Duckman by far. The best episode of SP doesn't come close to the worst episode of DUckman. Duckman was intelligent, witty, had better characters, betters scripts, better animation, better jokes, better stories, better deaths, and, most of all, was a lot more racy than the Colorado gang ever was. SP is more cute than anything, Duckman is classic. Also, Duckman is more memorable.
South Park, now, reuses the same jokes. The same lines are used, the Kenny deaths are old, the awful animation is old. And Cartman is pathetic. Duckman always had a spark of originality going for it
Hey SP can hardly be called cute and as for Kenny dieing every episode and the same lines in every episode its called a running joke

The Fluffy and Uranus deaths are probably more violent than Kenny, but they aren't bloody at all. The plots for Duckman are generally a little more well-written. The characters, in general, on Duckman can be harder to identify with than those on South Park. We were all foul-mouthed 8 year olds once... but how many raving psychotic perverts like Duckman have you ever met? (don't answer that)
I enjoy both shows... I probably laugh a bit more during a South Park episode than Duckman (unless it's one of the god-awful ones, like the Terrence and Philip special or Cow Days)

Me and a friend have long been discussing the possibility of writing a Duckman/South Park crossover during the summer... could be interesting, if we do it :)
Oh yeah, and (unfortunately..) Duckman never had a feature film! (check the trailer at www.comedycentral.com)
someone wrote one already though, but more is cool :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- i love you guys... ah screw you guys. (Cartman) remember, when you're up to your nose in it, keep your mouth shut Narf!

I say their quality is the exact same, although I prefer South Park. On the surface, Duckman's laughs come from self-parody, while SP's come from comic timing. Both shows are full of social satire and surrealism, providing a great "second level" of humor. Duckman has better stories, although SP's are more bizarre and fucked-up. The Fluffy and Uranus deaths are by far the lamest part of Duckman.
Another great show is The Critic -- does anyone remember that one? Jay Sherman's easily a competitor for the throne of Best Cartoon Dude Ever. "Well, I think --" "Sorry, son. Our studies show that the viewers don't care what you think. They just tune in to watch the amusing clips."
One of my favorite parts is the ways Bernice gets her revenge :) (i.e. pulling off Duckman's eyebrows, or slamming her fist into the table causing it to knock his head off...haha)
GOD. The Critic SUCKED ASS. Why do you think it was cancelled after, what was it, 5 episodes? That's how long I saw it listed in the TV guide...
One of my favorites but Duckman is better than South Park (comic timing my ass)
If you think about it, it attempts to be cute. Instead of a full grown adult saying things like this where you'd be interested, little young kids are saying it in away that they want you to laugh because they are so young. Now, when little kids do something unexpected isn't it considered cute?
When you really think about it, "cute" isn't the word. Real children do cute things like tip food on their heads, not let loose at aliens with strings of obscenity. That's more like reality.

Well, i guess it's totally cute and completely vulgar at the same time. It appeals to everyone in more ways than one and that's why it's so god damned huge...
Doesn't appeal to me, I think the show ran out of ideas around start of season 2

How DARE you compare the lame juvenile shock value antics of Southpark to the insightfull plays on current events, morality and politics seen on Duckman!
Just what the HELL are you staring at?
If you watch South Park you will see clever points made on it. Nothing to the Level of Duckman, however they do. It is obvious that Duckman, is the greatest Animated Series ever, maybe the greatest series in general ever.

It IS the best. Seinfeld was good for the first 5 seasons and went steadily downhill after that. Duckman was consistantly brilliant.

Duckman never had a chance to go downhill after 5 seasons. All great shows eventually become shit; Duckman would have, too.

ah ah ah! "would have" doesn't count, my man. Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't, but it's not fair to judge the future episodes of a TV show that will (most likely) never put out new episodes anymore.

Just like it's not fair to compare a cable show that's so buried it gets a few hundred viewers a week with a show that, in it's prime, had an audience of 35 million a week.
And let's not even BEGIN to compare the industry awards won my Seinfeld with those won by Duckman.
The bottom line remains. Alexander did great voice work for Duckman,
but that cannot possibly compare to the body of work he created out of
George Costanza.

And still, George was the second best guy on Seinfeld. Hail Kramer.
(Hail Mickey too.)
All hail Kramer.
Not allways true, M.A.S.H. comes to mind,sure there were some not so good eps but overall it was great from beginning to end and it went for way more than 5 seasons.
Just my .02

The last two seasons of M*A*S*H were horrible. The show was a wounded animal that wouldn't die. And don't EVEN get me started on "After-M*A*S*H", perhaps the worst spin-off in television history.

good as the kenny deaths or not. Which one has better
What the hell does it matter Duckman went out of production back in 1997 almost a year after Dana Hill's death from diabetes after that the rating went to total sh** after E.G. Daily couldn't cut it doing both Charles and Mambo's voices.
So, which is cooler Duckman or South Park, In the words of Kyle and Stan, "What the Fu** kind of question is that?", The answer would be definitely South Park now and forever.
