Okay, you;ve got it completely wrong there. The Simpsons USED to be really smart and intelligent humour, kind of like an animated sitcom where you'd get a begining, middle and an end in every episode but the 'normal' rules of a sitcom still applied to ground it in reality and give the characters more personality. By comparison, the new epiosdes just seem like 20 minutes of randomness that makes no sense with a few funny gags scattered here or there. It just seems like randomness and stupid plot points for the sake of it. I saw an episode a while ago where Bart sneaks off to a rap contest and ends up freestyling on stage like 8mile or something, man it was seriously cringworthy.
South Park on the other hand is extremely satirical and intelligent and IMO it's improved so much since the movie. If you go back and look at the original episodes you'll see alot of infantile humour but when it comes to the new episodes they're incredibly witty.
