I really like both, but I think that Futurama is funnier.
The Simpsons has the advantage that it just satirises American life, but they have to think up genuine comedy for Futurama. Maybe that's just my perception of it though.

Both are good. Futurama has some truly great comedy moments though*
Agree with Geezer re. Simpsons/Futurama and the simplicity of the comedy in the Simpsons.
*great compared to most US comedy.

Both are superb but Futurama got cancelled.
Family Guy is absolutely class, got cancelled as well but due to 'the fans,' is getting another series

Futurama - jokes are far funnier and lot more outlandish.
Bender - "Camera 1, Camera 2 .... Camera 3" PMSL (obviously not funny if you've no idea what I'm on about)

Bender: Yeah, life is hilariously cruel. [He laughs then slips over and slides down towards the whale's open mouth. The ship's cargo bay lift comes down and Fry grabs Bender's hand.] Permission to come aboard Wiggles?
Fry: Granted. We can't take off without our captain.
[He takes off Bender's hat and gives it to him. Leela coughs. She is still hanging on to the edge of the ice block.]
Bender: Oh, and bring my toboggan.

I've not seen many myself, but two good ones I remeber are " the honking" - bender becomes cursed and turns into a "werecar" - its kind of a pi55 take of the film "christine".
another good one was called "parasites lost" - very bizzarre but good.
both descriptions very brief, the actual shows are very clever and funny.
I'm just having a look on shareaza to see if there are any about to download.
^^ edit to say - there's loads

But simpsons for me, Original and the best,
I think the second you heard a lot of the same voices in futurama it sort of took the edge off

Bender is my favourite character, he reminds me of....errmmm...well...me actually. Although I still haven't worked out how he puts his arms back on after breaking through the bars.
