Simpsons beats Southpark overall. Lately Simpsons has been lack lustre compared to its golden perios, but still fine television, while Southpark has been getting edgier, more political and a hell of a lot more funny.
Nevertheless, the Simpsons, even in its less brilliant eras has been laugh out loud and quietly amusing in a more subtle sense for a good ten years.
I went through a Southpark hating phase for while when it became more about sick gags for their own sake and madcap scenarios, ie. Cartman's period, anal probing etc. This is very funny for some people, but I really think it sacrificed the more intellectual humour. Now it's going back to a more balanced mix.
Anyhow, Simpsons for sure.
