Which show is the most timeless: South Park, The Simpsons or Spongebob?

[General Mills]

Simpson’s for the Iconic factor. I remember when they first came out


Personally for me it’s South Park. So much fukkery. Randy Marsh is the animated version of Michael Scott.

easy

I think the Simpsons. South Park even had that episode where they had to acknowledge that the Simpsons was timeless

Simpsons did it

 

[Vandelay]

Simpson's...

Southpark could've had the crown at one point because it's funniest episodes are funnier than the funniest Simpson's episodes, but Simpson's is just unreal with it's longevity and cultural significance. I mean, Simpson's and to a lesser extent Beavis and Butthead were the first to actually pioneer the genre.

Spongebob doesn't have a big enough body of work to even be in the conversation.

What does this even mean

I don't know if anybody remember...but even the Simpsons themselves knew how much cultural impact they've had not just in America but even overseas.

Remember that episode (Behind The Laughter) where the whole family was speaking about their own impact in society...Bart Simpson alone is bigger than South Park.


Even President Bush back in the early 90s had mentioned how The Simpsons family were so big culturally he didn't want people outside of America to think they represent the average family living in America.

do u mean in terms of its content?

south park covers what seems like mostly recent events like elections or reality shows, so i wouldn't call it timeless.
simpsons sometimes covers this stuff
spongebob ...yeah i'd consider that timeless

classic is definitnely simpsons.

 

[BoogeyMan]

Spongebob needs credit for the fact that it is still so well-known of references despite most of its success coming from the first 3 seasons and the movie

 

[Konnan]

easily the simpsons

second place?

Spongebob

it's the one tv show that's value was extended cuz of the internet

So you think Spongebob is more iconic than Southpark?

 

[MaxBundles]

South park shouldn't even be in the convo

Simpson's then Sponge Bob

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

honestly nah

South Park has a wider appeal

So you think Spongebob is more iconic than Southpark?

Classic episode

 

[Tom Foolery]

South Park at it's peak is funnier, But they have some episodes that are just trash and odd. Those first few seasons are kinda trash too.

Even though The Simpson have been washed, there is still a level of quality. Entertaining but it's just not super funny anymore.

Spongebob doesn't fit in here.

IMO Simpsons have been surpassed by South Park, Family Guy etc., but will always be the GOAT.

Our generations Flintstones.

1) Simpsons - All the reasons already listed.
2) South Park - A lot of people are overlooking South Park, but they had such thoughtful critiques and observations on society that they snuck into almost every episode. Since it was so easy to get caught up in the fart jokes and crude humor, it is easy to overlook how smart the show is. I think this is where they compare the most to the Simpsons.

At 32, I never really got into Spongebob.

 

[Carl Tethers]

at the South Park hate. It's still relevant and the only show to improve in all aspects as it's gone on. Went from shytty shock-humour to insightful social commentary. And Spongebob is a weird fit.. may as well bring in Johnny Bravo or Dexter's Lab
