Family guy just has funnier characters in general. The pedophile old man (Herbert), Stewie, Brian the dog, Quagmire, The NEWS people (Tom Tucker & Diane Simmons, Ollie Williams), Fucking Adam West, etc. etc.
Not to mention Seth McFarlane and Seth Greene write a lot of the jokes and do the voices.

Fucking cookie monster , and Wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man! holy shit what does Futurama have on that?
American Dad! especially Roger. fuck i can understand how you think Family Guy is funnier than Futurama but to use the paedophile guy as an example? he's not funny just an annoying old shit who speaks too slowly (same goes for Cleveland). lots of funny characters but also heaps of shit ones like Chris and Meg and Lois - they're like the Marge and Lisa of The Simpsons (token characters). which is why i like Futurama more - all the characters are interesting and don't make you cringe. but other than that i like the guy who thinks he's environmentally friendly and wants to help small businesses, or the Chicken who gave Peter the expired voucher
Family Guy is definitely more hilarious and I laugh my ass off watching that shit.
Futurama is cool though and if there was a Family Guy rerun on TV I'd rather watch Futurama. It's refreshing because of the environment it's placed in.
family = random ass events with random ass references to movies, music, and culture from the 80's and early 90's.
Futurama is the kind of funny not the type of Family Guy. It has a plot, it has moments of clever-ness, and I think it's fair to say, they have a finer sense of articulation, that makes it so much more entertaining on a whole.
You can watch futurama episodes over and over again and never get old with it, but with family guy, the funny only lasts a few tens of times watching it, and then your rearing to watch for new episodes.
