Line 1:
{{work}}
A ''dramatis personae'' for [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]]'s animated comedy series, ''[[Family Guy]]''.
 
== The Griffin Family ==
Line 6:
==== Peter Griffin ====
{{quote| An obese father from Rhode Island who's mentally retarded. Used to work at a toy factory before the owner of the plant died, then worked as a fisherman for a couple of seasons, and now works a desk job at a brewery.<br />
Voiced by [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]], using a voice that sounds like [[All in The Family|Archie Bunker]]'s, only whinier. }}
 
* [[Abusive Parents|Abusive Dad]]: He wasn't always like this in early seasons, although now he's a lot worse than the Jerkass version of [[The Simpsons|Homer Simpson]]. However, he didn't become a full on abusive dad until [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]] left as the showrunner, whereas in seasons 4 and 5, his abuse towards Meg could be considered joking around with her(even if Meg didn't think so).
* [[Adult Child]]
* [[All Women Are Prudes]]: A believer of this trope. Lucky for him, he's married to an aversion (who even agrees with him about the trope).
Line 21:
* [[Bumbling Dad]]: In the earlier seasons, Peter did seem to try to do the best for his kids, even if it never turned out right.
* [[The Ditz]]: Peter really ain't smart at all.
* [[Disability Asas an Excuse For Jerkassery]]: Uses his mental retardation to get away with ''lots'' of jerkassery.
* [[Domestic Abuser]]: [[Played for Laughs]] most of the time, and Lois tends to give as good as she gets.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Depends on the episode, where he varies from this to [[Affably Evil]] to just [[Neutral Good]] or [[True Neutral]]
Line 30:
* [[Iron Butt Monkey]]: Likely to balance out his numerous [[Karma Houdini|Karma Houdinis]].
* [[It's All About Me]]: In later seasons. He has his selfish moments early on too, but is much more well intentioned the majority of the time.
* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: [[In-Universe]] Peter often calls characters in movies or films by the title of the movie or film in question, such as ''[[Scrubs]]'', Black ''Scrubs'', ''[[Jaws (Filmfilm)|Jaws]]'', and Bigger ''Jaws''.
* [[Jaded Washout]]
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] --> [[Flanderization]] --> [[Jerkass]]
** [[Depending Onon the Writer]] he can revert back to being a [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] or act outright [[Faux Affably Evil]] or worse (though he has been more consistantly sympathetic as of recently).
* [[Karma Houdini]]: He's gotten away with murder on several occasions if the cutaways are to be believed. In-[[Canon]], he was sent to prison for one week for blowing up a children's hospital.
** [[Idiot Houdini]]: Of course that and many examples can be owed more to his stupidity than his callousness. Given [[Psychopathic Manchild|his character]] [[Hanlon's Razor|it's hard to tell on occasion]].
*** That's Seth's explanation for the insensitivity he displayed in "When You Wish Upon a Wienstien."
* [[Lack of Empathy]]
* [[Like a God Toto Me]]: What he thinks of [[Kiss]].
* [[Motor Mouth]]: When he's a dog at least.
{{quote| '''Dog Peter''': OH-MY-GOD-I-KNOW-THAT-SOUND-IT-MEANS-THERE'S-A-POTENTIAL-INTRUDER-AT-THE-FRONT-DOOR-OR-ONE-OF-MY-PALS-EITHER-WAY-I'M-EXCITED-AND-''READY-FOR-ANYTHING!''}}
* [[Papa Wolf]]: {{spoiler|He gets really hostile towards Quagmire when he tries to have sex with Meg once she turns 18.}} [[Out-of-Character Moment|This is especially jarring when he's usually ignoring or flat-out abusing her.]] [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|With a few exceptions.]]
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]
* [[The Sociopath]]: In later seasons.
Line 53:
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: May very well be considered this now.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: During the events of ''Super Griffins''.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: During the early seasons, Peter is shown wanting respect from his father Francis. He even hires a band to play sappy [[Sit ComSitcom]] music for his moment. Francis eventually admits that he does love Peter, he just doesn't like him.
** This trope is played straight when he gains the approval of his biological father.
 
==== Lois Griffin (née Pewterschmidt) ====
 
{{quote| A woman from the richer side of Rhode Island that teaches piano lessons to children. Voiced by Alex Borstein, she has a very nasally voice that can rival both [[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants|Sandy Cheeks]] and Fran Drescher's.}}
 
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Acted like one in high school.
Line 70:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Flanderization]]: Originally a genuinely compassionate [[Mama Bear]] whose occasional bouts of self righteousness and impulsiveness led to [[Not So Different]] moments involving her husband, in later seasons is an extreme [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]] and is almost as [[Jerkass|callous and self centered]] as Peter. Especially towards Meg, who she seems to outright hate, and sometimes towards Peter.
** For the most part her ''entire persona'' is based on [[Rule of Funny]] or [[Depending Onon the Writer]] (even more so than the majority of the cast). Whether she is genuinely [[Women Are Wiser|wiser]] or basically a [[Jerkass|female version of Peter]] pretty much depends on where the gag takes her.
* [[Genki Girl]]: When she gets assertive the wrong way, mainly in the episodes "Breaking Out Is Hard To Do," and "Deep Throats."
* [[Hot Mom]]: A source of quite a few jokes (and episodes) is how Peter managed to marry the rich, beautiful, talented Lois Pewterschmidt.
Line 103:
** In the most recent episode, Meg's mention of her teacher "rubbing her shoulders for 45 seconds" is taken seriously and Lois is shown to be quite concerned.
*** Though when her story [[It Got Worse|gets worse]], Lois doesn't quite focus on what Meg's saying.
** In the ''[[South Park (Animation)|South Park]]'' parody episode ''Cartoon Wars'', she is the only character without dialogue.
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: In earlier episodes, while still somewhat luckless, Meg was a far less exaggerated punching bag. She was actually a primary target of concern and affection from her parents, most of her abuse stemming from their inadvertent and non discriminate bumbling. This was actually taken to the point of [[Spoiled Brat|affecting her demeanor]], often acting like a somewhat self absorbed and manipulative [[Daddy's Girl]].
* [[Chew Toy]]: Yes, plenty of fans enjoy Meg's [[Butt Monkey]] status.
* [[Emo Teen]]: very much so, though she has good reasons for it
* [[Extreme Doormat]]: Until she [[Took a Level In Badass]].
* [[Had to Come Toto Prison Toto Be Aa Crook]]: In the episode "Dial Meg for Murder."
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Of a non-lethal variety. She decides to take the abuse her family dishes out because without it, they would be at each other's throats nonstop (save for Brian).
* [[Informed Deformity]]: Meg is seen as being absolutely hideous by pretty much every character, save for her [[Abhorrent Admirer]].
Line 114:
* [[Phrase Catcher]]: "Shut up, Meg."
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: She's able to [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomp]] people much bigger than her.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: If you are male and was nice to her, you will probably regret it.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: She seems tougher ever since her post-prison psychotic episode.
* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: Par occasional Yandere traits, Meg has far less bratty or self centered traits than in earlier seasons.
* [[Tsundere]]: She showed some tendencies of this towards Neil Goldman early on, namely in the episode "The Kiss Seen Around the World".
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Meg unleashes a HUGE one on Chris, Lois, and Peter during a hurricane. This is the hurricane three-parter when [[The Cleveland Show]], [[Family Guy]], and [[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]] aired back-to-back. Compared to Cleveland Junior calling out the rest of the Tubbs on ignoring the National Weather Service, and Francine calling out Stan on how he made things infinitely worse with his idiotic actions that nearly killed the family, Meg has done the longest series of pointing out the hardest flaws out of three characters.
** She calls Chris a douchebag who only treats her like crap because Peter and Lois do it and that he is not a good brother to her. She calls Lois a horrible, condescending mother who has the nerve to point out every flaw Meg has, despite generally being no better than a drug-addicted whore whom has spent the past 17 years trying her best to destroy Meg from day one when she should've been protecting her and acting like a mom. Meg admits she'd prefer to never see Lois again once she turns 18, and this reduces Lois to tears. She calls Peter an uneducated, selfish drunk who is unable to provide for his family and terrorizes the community on a daily basis with his psychotic antics. He goes out of his way to shove Meg's face in his ass and fart in it, and Meg comments that if anyone in the outside world got a good idea of how Peter treats her, he'd be in jail. At first, Peter is just giggling at Meg's words, until he realizes she's criticizing him, which leads to Chris and Lois ganging up on him, and being reduced to tears like Lois was. However, Meg watches as the rest of the family immediately turn on one another now that their flaws have been brought to clarity, and realizes that without her acting as a lightning rod for their aggression, the Griffins would more or less turn on one another like a pack of wolves. So she apologizes and states that everything was her fault, sacrificing her chance to finally break free of her torment for the sake of keeping the family together. Brian calls her a noble human being for making such a sacrifice.
* [[The Unfavorite]]: Part of the [[Butt Monkey]] thing above; Peter and Lois even apparently agreed that if they could only save two of their kids in a crisis, Meg is the one who gets screwed over.
Line 136:
{{quote| A lax and lazy teen that's childish for his age. Voiced by [[Seth Green]].}}
 
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: It is implied Chris frequently masturbates and he even goes as far as openly talking about it in conversations that just doesn't need it. In the "Road to the Multiverse" episode, the introduction of dog Chris shows him licking himself under the table.
** His frequent masturbation is taken [[Up to Eleven]] in the "German Guy" episode where it is shown that Chris masturbates so much that his entire blanket became hard as a rock and then shattered to pieces when Lois drops it on the floor. Lois also comments that because she washes Chris clothes so often from his masturbation habits that the washing machine gotten pregnant somehow.
** During an episode where Peter drinks Red Bull, he becomes so hyperactive he sets fire to a cow when milking it. Cut to Chris, who'd previously been offered some, running in the background with his crotch on fire.
Line 144:
* [[Brick Joke]]: Him being big even at his birth. At first a cutaway gag, it turns out he was so large he "dragged half of Lois out with him". Lois required extensive reconstructive surgery and has been told it'll be lucky if she lives past 50.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
* [[Caught Withwith Your Pants Down]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Occasionally and surprisingly.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: When he gained pyrokinesis during ''Super Griffins'', he sets a kid on fire ''[[My Name Is Not Durwood|for calling him by a mocking nickname]]''.
Line 158:
* [[Out of Focus]]: He's the least seen character in the most recent seasons.
** To the point where until recently, Joe seriously thought his name was "Caleb".
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: During the events of ''Super Griffins''.
 
==== Stewart Gilligan "Stewie" Griffin ====
 
{{quote| A perpetual one year old with a lust for world domination. Hates Brian (the hatred wavers from episode to episode) and really wants to kill Lois. Voiced by [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]].}}
 
* [[Affably Evil]]
Line 191:
* [[Incompatible Orientation]]: Occasionally demonstrates he may have a crush on Brian.
* [[Jerkass]]: Less and less after each season, however.
** [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Currently.
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: In the early seasons.
** He gets better in later seasons.
* [[Made of Iron]]: He can take a lot of punishment for a one year old.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Stewie invented several futuristic machines, such as a time machine, a [[Star Trek (Franchise)|transporter]] or a device that allows him to travel between parallel universes.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Muscles Are Meaningless]]: Stewie can brutalize adults 20 times his size.
Line 211:
{{quote| '''Stewie''': If anyone is going to take that bitch down, its gonna be ''me!''}}
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: [[Exaggerated]] at first, then [[Inverted]] as the series progressed. An exagerrative example in early seasons, being a cartoonishly villainous mastermind amidst a whimsical sitcom family. As his personality softened and his family became more sociopathic however, it's almost become [[Token Good Teammate|completely reversed]].
* [[Too Kinky Toto Torture]]: In “Peter's Two Dads”, Stewie talks to his teddy bear, Rupert, about being spanked by Lois when he comes to this.
** '''Stewie''': I feel terrified, brutalized, and humiliated, and… and… and alive. My god, I never felt alive in years. Rupert… you know. I think perhaps on maybe one of those people… who… gets a jolly out of being hit.
* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: In comparison to his role as [[Token Evil Teammate]] in early seasons, some consider him the most likeable member of the family after they all [[Took a Level In Jerkass]].
Line 225:
==== Brian Griffin ====
 
{{quote| Talking dog. A cynical, world weary [[Deadpan Snarker]] and a foil for Stewie and Peter. Voiced by [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]] using his natural speaking voice.}}
 
* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: Season 2'a "Brian in Love" resolves his feelings for Lois with their deciding to stay friends in a fashion that one reviewer called "a perfectly believable and somewhat heartfelt earnest manner". Compare this to Season 6's "Play It Again, Brian", where he tries to force himself on Lois and, when confronted by a rightfully angry Peter, defends his actions and says Peter doesn't deserve her.
* [[Author Avatar]]: [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]] himself admitted that Brian reflects most of his political views. This was extremely prominent in season 7.
* [[Barefoot Cartoon Animal]]: When Brian wears clothes, his outfits typically don't include shoes.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Nowhere near as big as Meg but things never seem to turn out right for Brian, especially in recent seasons.
Line 248:
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Brian has several of these with humans.
* [[Iron Butt Monkey]]: A particularly brutal one in recent seasons, seems to fall victim to [[Family-Unfriendly Violence|prolonged graphic]] [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|beatings]] a frequent episode.
* [[Irony]]: [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]] uses his natural speaking voice for a character that's not human (even though Brian hardly, if ever, acts like a dog. In the rare times he does, it's wooden and unconvincing -- i.e., when he barks).
* [[Jerkass]]: In recent seasons.
** [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: He still has more moments of clarity than most of the other Griffins.
* [[Like a Weasel]]: His most common method of picking up women in later seasons. In "Peter's Got Woods" he meets a beautiful black woman and tries to curry her favor by getting Chris' school renamed for Martin Luther King Jr. In another episode, when a woman says magicians turn her on, he ''immediately'' blurts out "I'm a magician!"
* [[Mommy Issues]]: Possible explains his weakness for women.
Line 263:
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Jack Daniels liquor.
** As well as Martinis.
* [[Snarky Non -Human Sidekick]]
* [[Super Speed]]: During the events of ''Super Griffins''.
* [[Talking Animal]]
Line 278:
==== Glenn Quagmire ====
 
{{quote| A sexaholic navy vet that flirts with every hot woman (even teens) in rather disturbing ways. Voiced by [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]].}}
 
* [[Acquired Poison Immunity]]: He's been maced/pepper sprayed so many times he's developed an immunity.
Line 298:
* [[Cerebus Retcon]]: Season 8's "Jerome is the New Black" revealed the reason why Quagmire is a sex maniac: {{spoiler|The one woman he truly loved -- Cheryl Tiegs -- walked out on him before he could confess his love to her, and now he aimlessly has sex to fill the void she left behind}}. It's actually not all that surprising when you look back on three previous episodes: "Emission Impossible" ( {{spoiler|Quagmire has a Cheryl Tiegs poster on the door of his refrigerator}}), "Barely Legal" ( {{spoiler|Quagmire gives Meg his favorite book, "The Missing Piece" by Shel Silverstein, stating that he reads it whenever he feels like he's missing that one piece in his life that made him whole}}) and "Perfect Castaway" ({{spoiler|where he mentions that if he was blind, "every woman he did would be Cheryl Tiegs"}}).
** If thats the case, that ironically wouldn't make him [[Not So Different|any different then Brian]] (See his entry)
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Averted hard. More of a dangerous pervert due to his questionable methods of seducing women (though he refuses to have sex with Meg until she turns 18 and [[The Loins Sleep Tonight|immediately went flaccid]] when he tried to have sex with Lois while Peter had amnesia and ironically was becoming more like Quagmire as a result, and Lois said she trusted Quagmire as seen on "Big Man on Hippocampus"). It's been toned down recently though, as the show staff have opted to make him more of a [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]].
* [[Corrupt the Cutie]]: Okay, he was [[Memetic Molester|pretty damn corrupt]] to begin with, though was notably [[The Pollyanna|the most laid back and happy-go-lucky]] of Peter and his friends. His role as a [[Self-Deprecation]] avatar however has gradually evolved him into a much more [[Grumpy Bear|cynical]] character (he has gained an outright [[Hair-Trigger Temper]] around Brian).
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: In recent episodes, he's started acting like this on occasion, especially when provoked by Peter's antics.
* [[Depending Onon the Writer]]: The writers can't seem to make up their minds on whether Quagmire is a [[Lovable Sex Maniac]] [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|with a heart of gold]] or a [[Complete Monster]] rapist.
* [[Everyone Has Standards]]: He won't take advantage of Meg when she is extremely vulnerable.
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: In the Halloween episode, when he tricked Peter and Joe into thinking he was possessed by his kamikaze pilot ancestors.
Line 308:
* [[The Jailbait Wait]]: While Quagmire has had sex with underage girls as young as twelve, he's apparently willing to wait for Meg. More than almost anyone else on the show, he also seems to genuinely care for her, much more so than her own family, everyone else in Quahog, and the universe at large.
** Possibly a set up for [[Wife Husbandry]]?
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: He's kinda become one in recent years. He grew attached to his illegitimate daughter, and, during his infamous rant against Brian, revealed that he works at a soup kitchen to help the homeless. He also gave said daughter up when he realized she would be happy, and he expressed disapproval when Peter pretended to be crippled (in the '[[Star Wars]]'' special).
* [[Kavorka Man]]: To the extreme.
* [[Knight Templar Big Brother]]: Murdered his sister's [[Bastard Boyfriend|abusive boyfriend]].
Line 320:
* [[Papa Wolf]]: He does genuinely care for his sister Brenda's well being, and is willing to even murder her fiancee if it at least stops said fiancee from harming her permanently. [[Asshole Victim|Not that said fiancee didn't deserve it.]]
** Also barely contains his fury at Brian for accidentally mistaking his niece for a boy, as she lost all her hair through chemotherapy. One gets the impression that if it wasn't christmas and they were in line to see Santa, Quagmire would have beaten the living daylights out of Brian.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: In the episode "Jerome is the New Black," Quagmire gives [[Crowning Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|a spectacular]] one to Brian, who has spent the entire episode trying to be his friend. It helps that the points he makes are quite valid [[Take That Scrappy|as they were based on complaints viewers had been making about Brian for a good while]]. However this also had the effect of making Brain look more sympathetic especially considering later episodes.
{{quote| '''Quagmire''': OK. I'll tell ya. You are the worst person I know. You constantly hit on your best friend's wife, the man pays for your food and rescued you from certain death, and this is how you repay him? And to add insult to injury, you defecate all over his yard. (getting angrier) and you're such a sponge. You pay for nothing -- you're always like "Ooh, I'll get you later," but later never comes. And what really bothers me, is you pretend that you're this deep guy that loves women for their souls, but all you do is date bimbos. Yeah, I date women for their bodies, but at least I'm honest about it. I don't buy them a copy of ''[[The Catcher in The Rye (Literature)|The Catcher in The Rye]]'' and then lecture them with some 7th Grade interpretation about Holden Caulfield is some profound intellectual, he wasn't. He was a SPOILED BRAT. And that's why you like him so much -- he's YOU. GOD, you're pretentious. (brimming with indignation) And you delude yourself by thinking you're a great writer, even though you're terrible. You know, I shoulda known Cheryl Tiegs didn't write me that note... she woulda know there's no "A" in the word "definite." And what I think I hate most about you, is your textbook liberal agenda. How we should (mockingly) "Legalize Pot, maaan..." How big business is crushing the underclass, how homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America... well what have YOU done to help?! I work down at the Soup Kitchen, Brian... never seen YOU down there... you wanna help? GRAB A LADLE. And by the way, driving a Prius does not make you Jesus Christ. Oh, WAIT -- you don't believe in Jesus Christ, or any religion for that matter... because "religion is for idiots." Well who the HELL are YOU to talk down to anyone?! You failed college TWICE, which isn't nearly as bad as your failure as a father -- how's that son of yours you never see? But you know what? I could forgive all of that... all of it... if you weren't such a BORE. That's the worst of it, Brian. You're just a big, sad, alcoholic BORE. ''Sigh...'' Well, see ya, Brian. Thanks for the fucking steak.}}
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Many of his recent rants (see [[Self-Deprecation]] and [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]). In addition to the other examples under this character sheet, Quagmire has complained about never being given his own spinoff unlike Cleveland, to which Peter in response lampshades that Quagmire is a [[Memetic Molester|convicted rapist]].
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: When he aggressively beats the living daylights out of Brian:
Line 329:
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: In recent seasons, he has started voicing multiple critisms from fans about the show, including jibes at Peter's [[Jerkass]] antics, [[Dead Baby Comedy|darkly offensive humor]] and Conway Twitty. Not to mention nearly everything [[Creator's Pet|Brian]] says or does around him [[Kafka Komedy|manages to piss him off]]. Arguably also played for irony, since the person chosen to voice against such standards is, well, Quagmire.
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: Seems to be evolving this way against Brian. While more a one-sided amnosity the majority of times early on, Brian has gradually given more retaliation to Quagmire's bitterness towards him, reaching to the point of a rather even handedly vicious [[Escalating War]] in "Tiegs For Two".
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: He may go after any attractive woman that catches his eye, but several episodes show that he has a unhealthy obsession with Lois.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: When he took on his sister's abusive boyfriend in "Screams of Silence: The Story of Brenda Q", and {{spoiler|[[Car Fu|rammed him into a tree with his car]]}}!
 
Line 352:
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Berserk Button]]
* [[Depending Onon the Writer]]: Whether he can get an erection.
* [[Dirty Cop]]: Numerous examples, almost always to allow his close friends – namely, Peter and Quagmire – to get away with everything, from abuse to pedophilia. The most recent example involved their arson of Goldman's Pharmacy (to help Mort Goldman collect an insurance settlement).
** He also conspired to aid Quagmire in murdering his sister's abusive boyfriend, then covered it up.
Line 380:
==== Carter Pewterschmidt ====
 
{{quote| Lois's wealthy father who hates Peter. Voiced by [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]].}}
 
* [[Jerkass]]: Especially to Peter.
Line 403:
==== Jasper ====
 
{{quote| Brian's gay cousin. Like him, he's also an antropomorphic dog. Voiced by [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]].}}
 
* [[Camp Gay]]: Doesn't even start to describe him
Line 423:
==== Tom Tucker ====
 
{{quote| One of the anchors for the local Quahog TV station. He is an egotistical man obsessed with his mustache. His son suffers from having an upside-down face {{spoiler|and is currently being terrorized by the Evil Monkey.}} Meg briefly had a crush on him. Voiced by [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]].}}
 
* [[Jerkass]]
Line 468:
==== Ollie Williams ====
 
{{quote| Weatherman for the local news station. Voiced by [[Phil La MarrLaMarr]], he has a loud and quick voice.}}
 
* [[Beige Prose]]
Line 509:
==== Dr. Elmer Hartman ====
 
{{quote| The Griffins family doctor. Voiced by [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]].}}
 
* [[Talking to Himself]]: Lampshaded when he and Carter talked about how their voices sound the same.
Line 516:
==== Death ====
 
{{quote| [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|The]] [[Captain Obvious|Grim]] [[The Grim Reaper|Reaper]].}}
 
* [[Ambiguously Jewish]]: He's got a [[Jewish Mother]], anyway.
Line 552:
* [[Flanderization]]: Originally she was just the popular Libby character who would make fun of Meg for her efforts to try to fit in with the popular kids. But nowadays she goes out her way to tease Meg even if Meg is just minding her own business. And her bullying tactics have gotten needlessly cruel over the years.
** [[Justified Trope|Justified]] / [[Shown Their Work]]: A lot of actual [[Real Life]] bullies are very much the same.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Jerk]]: She's an absolute bitch to Meg, even after Meg showed her the cuts she deliberately gave herself as a result of Connie's cruelty towards her.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: She was voiced by Fairuza Balk in earlier appearances and Lisa Wilhoit in later appearances.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Despite all the punishment she received from the Griffins as a result of her bitchy behavior towards them, and especially towards Meg (which includes getting the crap beaten out of her twice), she ''still'' continues to act like a jerk.
Line 573:
* [[Cerebus Retcon]]: Originally a purely comedic character, he was given a backstory, reasons of why he acted that way and the ability to speak
* [[Not So Different]]: When the Evil Monkey was introduced to the family, they discover that he isn't that much different from the rest of them having suffered a cheating wife and being sacked from his job. Chris doesn't buy the story but he learns to trust him over time and even considers the monkey to be a better father than Peter when it comes to life's problems or help with homework.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: After "Hannah Banana" he moved from Chris' bedroom to Jake Tucker's bedroom, and wasn't seen again.
** The monkey did make a comeback later on. {{spoiler|He appears with Peter to save Cleveland and his friends from being raped by a group of men in ''[[The Cleveland Show]]''}}
* [[Start of Darkness]]: According to Chris he turned bad after he caught his wife in bed with another monkey.
Line 592:
* [[Guile Hero]]: Occasionally
* [[Shotacon]]: Usually with Chris.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]
 
==== Opie ====
Line 598:
{{quote| Peter's mentally challenged co-worker at the brewery.}}
 
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: Was fired when it was discovered he was constantly masturbating behind his desk.
* [[The Ditz]]
* [[Fish Eyes]]
