It seems ironic to me that people here hate simpsons wackiness when they love futurama, and people complained about the plots being about "what crazy adventure will homer get the family into this week", when the earlier futurama's were "what crazy adventures will fry get the gang into this week" I know its justified because futuramas sci fi but still.
I went for simpsons thinking of 1-8 although it was a very tough decison and so I went for something that wouldn't the score much, at least at the time

@u_n_s: There's a drop-off in plausability from Futurama to Simpsons; a garbage ball threatening the planet 1000 years from now makes more sense than Homer buying a tennis court instead of securing a grave for his father.
...That was a spectacular sentence.

Originally posted by User_names_suck: I disagree, well really I'm just saying I had no problem with that bit of simpsons My point was that a lot of Futurama eps are based on "people in general are stupid, so what problems would we cause in the future?", whereas Simpsons is more like "Maggie gets a bunny. Bunny sounds like money. The Simpsons inherit a lot of money." There was no logic behind Homer getting a tennis court other than someone saying the words "tennis court", and that's the problem I have with that part. Originally posted by DoTheBartman: In particular there's some "jerkass Bender" episodes like "A Pharaoh to Remember" that could be compared to some of the jerkass Homer crazy adventures. And those were the worst rated eps of the series (again in general). Those types of eps aren't nearly as frequent in Futurama as they are in Simpsons.

He has a point though, at least about the "what wacky adventure will they get into next" thing. In particular there's some "jerkass Bender" episodes like "A Pharaoh to Remember" that could be compared to some of the jerkass Homer crazy adventures. I was thinkng more along the lines of 'fry gets them into trouble on the moon, Fry gets them into troble by drinking an alien leader, fry gets the gang into danger in the slurm factory, Fry's insitence on buying anchovies gets him into trouble. Oh and fry's stupidity in 1999 interrupts a transmission angering aliens who attack Earth Oh and there's jerkass bender in fear of a bot planet also. and to my mind jurrasic bark and thats a highly rated episode I didn't think it was a problem in obsoletley faboulous as it was fear that provoked his actions This always botherd me more on futurama than it did on simpsons

I don't really consider Homestar Runner a cartoon, its's just a website. One of my favorite websites ever, but still a website. Crazy cartoons IMO include the ones on the poll, plus all of these...
Freakazoid, NOT Animaniacs (too educational and annoying), Zim, Rocko, Ren & Stimpy (although I hate it), Angry Beavers, Spongebob, Fairly Odd Parents, to an extent Two Stupid Dogs, CARTOON PLANET (anyone remember that show? it was awesome!), all Williams Street shows (Brak, Space Ghost, Sealab, Aqua Teen, Harvey Birdman), and pretty much all old Warner Bros. stuff. Classic insanity.

FLCL is the craziest animated series (hah, swerves around my refusal to call FLCL a cartoon!) out there, no competition except for other anime series that are just as insane...and any (especially chuck jones') looney tunes eps...

First of all, Futurama isn't really 'crazy' IMO. It just has a sci-fi setting and mixes in the absurdities of the genre with emotion and character development.
For the sake of this poll's topic, my list is:
1. TIE)Futurama- (if you're gonna call it crazy, fine. But it's still the best)
1. TIE)The Simpsons (whole series)- If it's considered crazy, fine. It's still hilarious.
2.)Family Guy-it's funny, but no competition for the first two on this list
I know I didn't put South Park up there, but that's because I usually don't watch it and really can't critique it.

hmm I've never watched it I presume Most of these cartoons are aimed at a younger audience than the poll choices. I think the point was for people to vote for there favourite out of the four
