Family Guy/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Happens often. notably in the Christmas special.

* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: Is almost (d)evolving into this in later episodes, a lot of her role consisting of joining Peter in giggling over immature gags or even sharing similar sociopathic tendancies. The extent of this is [[Rule of Funny]] however.

* [[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 on 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.

* [[Hot Mom]]: A source of quite a few jokes (and episodes) is how Peter managed to marry the rich, beautiful, talented Lois Pewterschmidt.

* [[I Surrender, Suckers]]: Lois is about to be taken in for shoplifting in "Breaking Out is Hard to Do." She goes to get her purse...and makes a vehicular escape.

* [[Lack of Empathy]]: At her worst.

* [[Mama Bear]] but sometimes also [[Abusive Parents|Abusive Mom]]
