Who's your favourite Family Guy character?

Post categories: ,Ěý

Dana Stevens | 15:26 UK time, Friday, 14 May 2010

This is a tough one. I keep changing my mind between Brian and Stewie, and then Chris will do something so amazingly stupid I decide he must be my favourite. So, if like me, you've watched endless episodes of Family Guy on ±«Óătv Three and you still can't decide - don't worry! Here to help is our handy little guide to the main characters with some of my favourite quotes thrown in to remind you just how great they are.

So let us know your favourite and feel free to tell us your favourite quotes too.

Peter Griffin in Family Guy Peter Griffin
Peter: Just don't forget our deal, Lois. I sit through this and later tonight I get anal.
You hear me? No matter how neat I want the house you have to clean it.


The patriarch of the Griffin family has no idea what the word "patriarch' means. While Peter likes an occasional adult beverage at the Drunken Clam, his real passions are harebrained schemes and public nudity.

Peter: Huh, you know something? I always thought that dogs laid eggs. So, yeah. I learned something today.

250x400_lois.jpg Lois Griffin
Lois: Peter, I'm off to my book club, don't forget you have to go to the PTA meeting.
Peter: Me? Go to a PTA meeting? What are you high?
Lois: Nah, not anymore, I crashed hours ago. By the way, we are out of chips, cookies, and funnybones. Now, I'm going to my book club and you are going to the meeting.


The high-pitched voice of reason in the Griffin house, Lois is the only woman capable of tolerating Peter.

Peter Griffin: We all know that no women anywhere wants to have sex with anyone and to titillate us with any thoughts otherwise is just bogus.
Lois Griffin: Ah, he is so right on. Women are such teases. That's why I went back to men.


Meg Griffin in Family Guy Meg Griffin
Meg: Oh my God, we're gonna die! There's so much of life I haven't experienced. I never even got the chance to be some drunk college guy's last resort.

The most disliked member of the Griffin family, mainly by her parents. Frequently found at home, not getting calls from boys.

Meg: I just want to kill myself I'm gonna go upstairs and eat a whole bowl of peanuts.
(Lois and Peter stare in silence)
Meg: I'm allergic to peanuts.
(Peter and Lois keep staring)
Meg: You dont know anything about me. (runs upstairs)
Peter: Who was that guy?


Stewie Griffin in Family Guy Stewie Griffin
Stewie: HA! That's so funny I forgot to laugh... excluding that first Ha.

This inventive, wisecracking tot is bent on world domination. And finding the perfect pair of snug jeans.

Stewie: Did you hear that Meg? Guys can marry other guys now. So...this is awkward, but I mean, if they can do that, that is pretty much it for you, isn't it? I mean you might as well pack it in. Game over.

Chris Griffin in Family Guy Chris Griffin
Chris: My name is Chris, I'm supposed to be on my best behaviour tonight and not mention poo.....
Oh God, what have I done?


Like a typical teen, Chris has a fondness for learning and self, um, discovery. Someday he hopes to be as dumb as his father.

Meg: I miss Uncle Patrick.
Lois: Don't worry kids I promise we can visit him once a month
Chris: We'll be his period.


Brian Griffin in Family Guy Brian Griffin
Brian: Whose leg do you have to hump to get a dry Martini around here?

Peter's best friend and loyal companion. Brian, a die-hard liberal, lives with the Griffins and enjoys drinking Martinis, writing terrible fiction and burying things in the yard.

Brian: "I just spent all morning watching a VH1 special on Gwen Stefani. I don't know what a Hollaback girl is. All I know is that I want her dead."

Glan Quagmire in Family Guy Glen Quagmire
(Quagmire to a girl)
Quagmire: You must be a parking ticket, cuz you got fine written all over you.


A consummate ladies man, Quagmire is one of the only people to have an STD named after him. Giggety!

Quagmire: Soccer moms, all riiiiight! GIGGITY, GIGGITY,GIGGITY!

    Favourite character? Tough one, they are all great! My favourite is probably Brian.

    Favourite quote isn't actually spoken by a main character, but a cheetah who cuts up and snorts Cheetos, cutting himself on a glass table in the process and then turns to camera and says "It ain't easy bein' cheesy".

  • Comment number 12.

    My fav character is easily stewie!!! He's just genius!! lol
    Brian; Is it cold in here
    Stewie; Nope, just really cold!!

  • Comment number 13.

    My favourite is Louis, simply because shes witty and funny and has the best intentions, my favourite quote from her is

    Brian: Do You ever stop and think "Wow i'm married to that guy?"

    Lois: Nah, I just repress it.

    Brian: Is that Healthy?

    Lois: Ahh what's the worst that could happen?

    Peter: I'M A TUMOUR I'M A TUMOUR, I'M A TUMOUR I'M A TUMOUR I'M A TUMOUR, I'M A TUMOUR I'M A TUMOUR I'M A TUMOUR...oh oh oh...I'M A TUMOUR!

  • Comment number 18.

    i love Brian and Stewie r the best 4 me they r as funny as hell

  • Comment number 19.

    I have three main favourites overall; first and second are Stewie and Brian because they are a classic double act but on their own they hold out as characters. Thirdly and the most I sympathize with is Meg, I'm personally looking forward to the episode where Meg beats up Peter.

  • Comment number 20.

    Glen Quagmire
    (Quagmire to a girl)
    Quagmire: You must be a parking ticket, cuz you got fine written all over you.

  • Comment number 21.

  • Comment number 22.

    Thanks for all your comments - just reading some of your quotes back is making me giggle at my desk. Especially being reminded of the cheetah scene @Joan Taylor and Quagmire's chat up lines @Deedog.
    Keep em coming!

  • Comment number 23.

    Hmm I like all of them but Stewie HAS to be the Best.
    But then again, so is Brian? Oh and the Evil Monkey! Hmm, I can't decide!

    Some of Mt Favourite Quotes...

    "What The Juse?!" - Stewie
    "Who's Leg D'you have to hump to get a dry martini around here?" - Brian
    "Giggedy Giggedy!" - Quagmire
    "I sharpened a pencil in my bum and now I need a band-aid!" - 'Bitch' Brian
    "Cool HWhip!" - Stewie

    And there's loads more but I don't want to fill up your blog! x

  • Comment number 24.

    Stewie! So cute and hilarious!
    Brian & Stewie - "You're drunk.." "You're sexy!"

  • Comment number 25.

    i like everyone of them apart from meg lol

  • Comment number 26.

    i like Stewie because he is funny,evil,and a genies

  • Comment number 27.

    Peter, he's the most random and the funniest out of them all 1 random thing i found hilarious was on the new episode of family guy where Joe says that everyone's getting sick of getting kicked in the face thing and peter goes Oh yeah see what my shadowy ghost friends have to say about this nd joe screams lmao.

  • Comment number 28.

    On a regular basis in the show then Peter, but Joe Swanson makes me laugh when he goes "mental" at any random point.

  • Comment number 29.

    i Think my most favourite Family Guy characters are:

    Peter,
    Quagmire,
    Stewie

    They do Family guy for me!


    (P.S. im the biggest Family Guy Fan EVER!!!)

  • Comment number 30.

    Without Family Guy I would be lost! My favourite character is definatly Brian because of his dry wit and sarcastic manner. However saying this, i enjoy watching it no matter what and now cleveland is gone i find it is almost incomplete which is why i think seasons 2-6 are the best. The "star wars" paradies are also fantastic and other films should be made by Seth Macfarlane and his team!!! If you prefer South Park you obviously dont have any mental abilities!!!!

  • Comment number 31.

    i like stewie because he is so evil and i like it baby

  • Comment number 32.

    ever since quagmire made his reasons for hating brian clear,i've begun to like him waay less.
    love stewie ,he is the favourite with me and always has been.
    the minor characters are really cool too,mainly consuela and herbert!

  • Comment number 33.


    Lois is so hot she burns, move over Betty Rubble there's a new girl in town

  • Comment number 34.

    What makes Family Guy the greatest show of this style is the collective awsomeness of the cast. Glen, Joe & Cleavland are great sidekicks. The less seen but often funny fighting chicken make a stunning impact. Brian & Stewie have some of the best eppisodes. The Griffin family are all just swell!

    Peter would be the greatest of all time if it was'nt for that pesky Eric Cartman. Peter is a hilarious runner up though.

  • Comment number 35.

    Roadhouse!

  • Comment number 36.

    I couldn't care less about Family Guy, South Park is far superior, the cut-aways have become rather tedious

  • Comment number 37.

    theres so many good characters, but mayor west stewie and brian must be up there, also have you heard......about the bird, bird is the word

  • Comment number 38.

    Love the show and all its characters but if I had to chose one it would be the big man Peter Griffin.

  • Comment number 39.

    My favourite character is Peter vecuase he is the cenral character and has the best quotes, I also like cleveland, and I thin the first second serie were the best!!

  • Comment number 40.

    Meg's gotta be the best to laugh at...

    Peter: I gotta go buy hot dogs. We keep running out for some reason...
    Meg (sat on her bed in her nightie holding a large pack of jumbo hot dogs): I'm gonna pretend you're the New York Knicks.

  • Comment number 41.

    I think my favourite character is Joe...or possibly Herbert..."That's a nice muscly throwing arm you got there"

    I think I feel sorry for Meg...but I do like Meg episode.

    Can't stand Brian I'm with Quagmire on that one !!!

  • Comment number 42.

    "STEWIE: Pass me some of that Cool Whip
    BRAIN: What?"
    My fav is Stewie, obviously.
    I love that line, it's kind of an audio joke though so if you haven't seen the episode you won't get it.
    BTW i also love the chicken fights.

  • Comment number 43.

    Journalist comments about Brian "when they are having sex they just do it me style".
    One of my favourite episode;
    Extract:
    Peter: Brian, could I see that paper?
    Peter: Ah, that’s odd. I thought that would have been big news?.
    Brian: You thought what would have been big news?
    Peter: Well, there seems to be an absence of a certain anthological piece. A headline regarding mass awareness of a certain avian variety.
    Brian: What are you talking about?!!!
    Peter: Oh, have you not heard? It was my understanding that everyone had heard.!
    Brian: Heard what?!!!!!!!!!!!
    Stewie: Brian don’t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Peter: (singing and dancing) well ah bird bird bird...................
    Absolute classic.

    Favourite character: Stewie - everyone would want an intelligent child like that, may be not with a head of an American football.
    And just to clear the air... Meg is not Peter's child! It (not she) is Lois child from a previous marriage that she brought home one day and Peter did not realised, and nurture "it" as his.. but he will find out..
    (well this is my theory at least)... I love the way Peter farts Meg up...

  • Comment number 44.

    My favorite character & voice has to be Bruce. The slightly Gay guy with the tache. Mu favorite quote is from the episode "Blue Harvest" when the giant Bee has Bruce's voice....

    Bee: "Oh, hey. Y'all best be careful or I'm gonna sting you with my stinger. Oh, nooo! But then I gon' die if I sting you. You know what? I'm not gonna sting y'all after all, and that's my choice. Y'all ain't worth it. I'm just gonna head on over to that flower and suck on that stamen like there's no tomorrow."

    Genious.

  • Comment number 45.

    They're all brilliant, best show on the box!

  • Comment number 46.

    Favourite (non-main) character has to be the greased up deaf guy!

  • Comment number 47.

    Stewie no doubt about it, he is so funny I love it when he says Cool Whhipp to wind up Brian

  • Comment number 48.

    If you guys don't say Peter, then you are petarded.

  • Comment number 49.

    “You're a Phony, a Big Fat Phony! Hey Everybody, He's a Phony!”

  • Comment number 50.

    To me Peter is the most annoying especially when I see that Bird Is The Word scene. Stewie and Brian are the best so far but the others like Meg are good too

  • Comment number 51.

    Stewie! One of the best cartoon characters ever. Who would have thought a talking baby would be so funny lol!

  • Comment number 52.

    Stewie is my favorite! Because he is funny )

  • Comment number 53.

    Brian is my favourite family guy character and then stewie but together they are absoloutly hillarious! long live family guy! ;)

  • Comment number 54.

    Got to be stewie. i just love the fact that he can say anything he wants do what ever he wants and gets away with it looool

  • Comment number 55.

    Everyone rocks except meg

  • Comment number 56.

    Stewie.
    'nuff said.

  • Comment number 57.

    Stewie... and if you're on the fence at all about it, just watch this episode and you'll understand.

  • Comment number 58.

    Stewart Gilligan Griffin. possibly the best comic creation of all time. the i've got a little list song from "lois kills Stewie" is the pinnacle of genius, evil genius.

    Late yesterday evening, sat drinking tea
    We found Family Guy, over on ±«Óătv3
    “Oh, this is so clever” purred my wife
    “A sly subversion of American life,
    A smorgasbord of pop-cultural fare,
    Bold juxtaposition and Batman as mayor!
    Fearless comment on the land of the free
    Horatian satire, revealed in 2D”

    “Greek tragedy set as morality tale
    Metaphorical photographs written in Braille
    The dog as super-ego, ego and id
    The idiot savant as the somatic quid
    Coruscating irony in every form
    Challenging any societal norm
    The maxim of Syrus, so beautifully knitted;
    “The judge is condemned when the guilty’s acquitted””

    “- Analysis” I jumped in “can be tricky”
    .......let's look together, tomorrow, on wiki?.....”

    “Shhh, darling” she said, dashing my hopes
    As my will to live bounced hard off the ropes-

    “The meta-physicality reminds me of Nietzsche
    The “Griffin” as a mythical guardian creature
    Protecting the treasure - freedom of expression
    Allegorical inversion through use of digression
    Wanton non-sequiturs, confound the unwary
    With a cadence and rhythm, wilfully contrary
    And I think I noticed, but can’t quite tell
    An allusion to Dante’s nine circles of Hell......

    The piece that I’m missing - and I’ve racked my wits
    I can’t quite see where the paedophile fits........”

    As her voice trailed off, I took this as my cue
    To offer my own, alternative, view

    “The writing is snappy, the animation is quaint
    But let’s be honest, The Simpsons, it ain’t!
    And if what you say were actually true
    Why haven’t we seen it on Newsnight Review?

    “You’re probably right” she said with a smile
    “I really thought I had something there, for a while.....”

    She kissed me that kiss, my heart sang that song
    “I’m off to bed darling.... don’t be too long”

    In the quiet now, I finished my tea
    (Again, wondering why, she married me.....)
    .... Oh, and I’m no genius, but I think that, maybe
    It’s just a cartoon with a very strange baby

    (But I rather liked it!)

    stewie and brian are the best.x

  • Comment number 66.

    although all the characters are classic my favourite has to be peter he is just the best, best peter moment there are so many to mention but one classic is when Lois tells Brian he should join peta to which peter gets more confused as the family try to explain they mean peta not peter

  • Comment number 67.

    I have three main favourites overall; first and second are Stewie and Brian because they are a classic double act but on their own they hold out as characters Thirdly and the most I sympathize with is Meg, I'm personally looking forward to the episode where Meg beats up Peter.

  • Comment number 68.

    Sorry but I think the funniest ever scene is when they are all in the courthouse and Peter gets done for something or another, the camera pans to a few people and they all go 'Oh Noooo', but then the Cool Aid guy just jumps in and goes 'oh yeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh' - legendary stuff ;)

  • Comment number 69.

    Stewie and Brian all the way!!!!!!

  • Comment number 70.

    Peter: "Ground zero....where the first man got Aids"

    Hahahahahaha!

  • Comment number 71.

    ROCK LOBSTER!!

  • Comment number 72.

    SHAPOOPI

  • Comment number 73.

    Favourite character: Stewie.

    But favourite lines are when they make digs that refers to the fact it's a TV show. Such as when they ran into Cleveland in search of who makes the worlds dirty jokes and Peter say: 'Cleveland! Who knew that we'd run into you here? Except everyone because Fox ruined it in the trailer.'

    Or in the second Star Wars one when Meg says 'how come I never get any lines in these?', or when they're going through the asteroid field and Peter says 'I'm sure we'll be fine, there's five main characters on this ship'.

    Ahhh, too many!
