Major Antagonists
Carter Pewterschmidt
Carter Pewterschmidt
Voiced by: Seth MacFarlane
Debut: "Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater"
Lois's wealthy father who hates Peter.
- Big Bad: The main antagonist in a few of episodes.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: Has thick, grey ones.
- Boomerang Bigot: He hates Jews, even though his own children and wife are Jewish.
- Control Freak: Towards Lois when she was younger. Not only was he overprotective, but he was extremely domineering and only wanted Lois to be the person that he wanted her to be. Lois barely had any say in the types of hobbies and interests she wanted for herself when she was a teenager, which may have been why Lois rebelled against her father's lifestyle by marrying Peter.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: He's the owner of a large corporation, and is very cruel.
- Characterization Marches On: In the early seasons, he was uptight and classist but still a decent person deep down. After the show was
Un-Canceled, he turned into a selfish and bigoted Rich Bastard with next to no redeeming qualities. - Domestic Abuse: He blatantly abuses Peter, though he does deserve it a lot of the time, and its implied he molested Lois in "Welcome Back, Carter".
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He sincerely cares for his family.
- Even Evil Has Standards:
- Even he's disgusted by Kevin's decision to go AWOL. Considering how Carter himself went to war as a younger man and fought through the entirety of it, his disgust is very much valid and genuine.
- He's completely aware of his son Patrick's mental instability, and chews out Lois for releasing him as he's potentially very dangerous. He's proven to be right.
- Peter has a Zany Scheme involving Jonathan Lipnicki to get Carter back with Babs in "Welcome Back, Carter". However, Peter has an epic Freak Out over how Jonathan looks now and moves to rush him to the hospital. Carter initially protests, but upon seeing Jonathan with his own eyes, he quickly agrees that Peter should see to Jonathan and that his issues with Babs can wait until after.
- In "Fresh Heir". When Brian tries to make himself look good by saying he would give Carter's money to charity, Carter asks him to name one charity. After Brian flounders and makes one up, Carter coldly calls him a "fraud".
- In "Adoptation", he considers building a candy shop right next to an orphanage a "dick move".
- While he's not exactly a great parent himself, even he is taken a back along with Peter by Irene putting down her daughter, Tricia Takanawa, upsetting her even when she's about to be honored no less.
- Evil Old Folks: He's old and is very cold-hearted and selfish.
- Evil Sounds Deep: And raspy (though that can be explained due to his age).
- Expy: He's essentially the Family Guy equivalent of Mr. Burns from The Simpsons. Like Burns, Carter is a billionaire and morally bankrupt business tycoon who commonly serves as a recurring Big Bad when the series requires it.
- Fantasy-Forbidding Father: Carter Pewterschmidt was this to Lois, as he forbid her from being a model when she was a teenager.
- Faux Affably Evil: He can act friendly and charming when he want to, but he is a greedy, selfish, manipulative Corrupt Corporate Executive at heart. An example is when he acts nice to an orphan he adopted, offering him toys and and a puppy as bait, only to keep his car doors closed and drive off as a cruel prank.
- Fiction 500: Won the CNN from Ted Turner at a game of poker.
- Go-Go Enslavement: It is heavily implied that the affair he had in "Welcome Back, Carter" was not an affair, but that Carter is involved in sex trafficking, if his comment about the film where Liam Neeson rescues his daughter is any indication.
- Grandparent Favoritism: Surprisingly, he gets along well with Chris, Meg and Stewie and is mostly happy to see them whenever he can. He even bonds with Chris, for better or worse, in "Fresh Heir".
- Hypocrite: While Carter makes good points regarding Peter's incompetence as a husband, Carter once cheated on his own wife and forced her to do some modifications herself so she could marry him.
- I Hate Past Me: In "Regarding Carter", he is accidentally shot in the head and awakens with amnesia. When Lois informs him of all the heartless things he did in the name of business, Carter is disgusted.
- I Have No Son!: After Patrick Pewterschmidt loses his sanity and is sent to the asylum, he decides to pretend that he never conceived him in the first place. However, Lois eventually discovers his existence when taking a closer look at a Pewterschmidt family picture.
- I Lied: In "The Old Man & the Big C", Stewie and Brian discover that Carter's company has developed a cure for cancer, but hasn't made it public because long-term cancer treatments are more profitable than a one-time cure. When Lois finds out, she demands that her father do the right thing and announce it to the world. He agrees, albeit reluctantly. Then:Tom Tucker: Our top story: a big announcement out of Pewterschmidt Pharmaceuticals today. Company chairman Carter Pewterschmidt released a statement announcing the launch of a deodorant for the developmentally disabled called Slow Stick. It's also edible because, you know, those people don't, uh... don't know... [Beat] And now sports.
Lois: That's it? What the hell? Where's the cancer cure announcement? [calls Carter's phone] Daddy, we're all sitting here in front of the TV awaiting the big announcement. Remember, the one that's going to benefit all mankind? The one you promised to make for me, your daughter?
Carter: I lied. [hangs up] - It's All About Me: He seems to incapable of recognizing that other people have feelings and desires different from his own.
- Jerkass: One of the biggest jerks in the show. He has enslaved his employees (especially the African-American ones), is cruel to Peter (even though, as said above, it's not like he does not deserve it time and again), and acts horribly to his own daughter, Lois (which may have had an impact on Lois turning into a jerk in later seasons) in addition to abandoning his son Patrick after he had a nervous breakdown. He even cured cancer and refused to release it to the public, even after Lois made an emotional speech about the ethical ramifications.
- Jerkass Has a Point: While Carter personifies the Evil Old Folks and Rich Bastard tropes, his loathing for his son-in-law Peter Griffin is amply justified. Peter is not only a Fat Idiot, he's a full-blown Psychopathic Manchild who's repeatedly shown to be a danger to himself and everyone in the vicinity, responsible for multiple serious injuries, fatalities and millions of dollars in property damage. He's also not a good father as well to his kids, especially Meg.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a Jerkass of the highest order, but he does really care about his family, even if he's godawful at showing it. Despite hating Peter and resenting that Lois married him, he offers to give her ten million dollars every year; an offer she continuously refuses.
- Karma Houdini: Most of the time, he never receives any punishment for his horrible actions (including withholding the cure for cancer and keeping sex slaves)
- Karma Houdini Warranty: Many episodes involve Peter screwing Carter over in some way and successfully making his life miserable (eg. bankrupting him from a lawsuit, stealing his company, getting him thrown out of his country club), only for him to bounce back by the very end of the episode and kick Peter back in his place. The only time he has been adequately punished, or rather humiliated, was in "Christmas Guy". Peter also gave him a small beatdown in "Model Misbehavior".
- Lack of Empathy: He's very cold and callous towards everyone except his own family.
- Laughably Evil: He's a horrible person. That doesn't stop him being hilarious.
- Manipulative Bastard: Boy howdy. It's easier to list those that he hasn't manipulated. Some of his worst examples include forcing Peter to eat a pine cone, which would apparently "help" Lois, and making him describe how it tastes and ordering him to drink a vial of his diabetic blood, only to be amazed that he went through with it.
- Obnoxious In-Laws: He isn't too fond of Peter, to the point that he even lied in court when Peter was accused of murdering Lois (in Stewie's simulation).
- Pet the Dog: He's generally very loving towards his grandchildren.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: It's not too hard to tell that he has a very 1950s mindset when it comes to minorities (or women, for that matter).
- Psychopathic Man Child: Having been waited on hand and foot his entire life, he has very little in the way of emotional maturity and expects the world to bend to his whims.
- Rich Bastard: Very much. When Chris was about to be accepted into the "Skull and Bones Society" from his old boarding school, he mentioned one of their favorite hobbies was to go to an orphanage, fill out all the paperwork, then not take them home (as in, fills the car up with toys and a puppy, then locks it and drives away.)
- Riches to Rags: An episode deals with him not only losing a lawsuit, but his money, his wife, and his lifestyle, and goes to live with his daughter . Due to Status Quo Is God, he ends up being rich again at the end of the episode.
- Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: When he temporarily lost everything, he was shown to be incapable of taking care of himself.
- The Rich Want to Be Richer: Despite being born into a rich family, and owning a multi-million dollar company, Carter is always eager to gain just a little more money.
- In "Scammed Yankees", he read a con e-mail asking for 10,000 dollars, with the false promise of a 1,000,000 dollar payback, and eagerly went along with it.
- In "Carter and Tricia". After buying the Pawtucket Patriot brewery, he ordered them to start making beer cans out of a cheap yet toxic metal, all so he could save a few dollars.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: His answer to fixing everything.
- The Sociopath: He thinks of himself as the most important person in the world, is never satisfied with what he has, and will gleefully screw other people over for his own gain.
- Took a Level in Dumbass:
- Carter grew more childish as the seasons went on in nearly the same way as Peter. While some of his actions are somewhat understandable (not knowing how to have fun at a strip club due to being married for so long for example), he will also do some downright illogical things just to antagonize Peter, such as getting heavy machinery to destroy a park bench because he thought it would make Peter upset after Peter said he kind of liked it.
- In Christmas Guy, Peter successfully fooled him into uncancelling the Christmas Carnival simply by comparing him to a Jew. It takes a special level of idiot when a retarded alcoholic is able to fool you.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: He evolved from merely a standard Obnoxious In Law, to an outright Card-Carrying Villain whose abuse extends far beyond Peter. Likely to keep comparative levels of likability as Peter similarly became worse and worse. However, this seems to be played with, as in some episodes, he has been shown to act very civil with Peter.
- Upper-Class Twit: While not as dumb as Peter, he's not nearly as intelligent as he thinks he is.
- Wealthy Yacht Owner: Has at least one yacht at his disposal as shown in several episodes.
James Woods
James Woods
Voiced by: James Woods
Debut: "Peter's Got Woods"
An actor whom the local high school was named after. He made friends with Peter, after the latter became estranged from Brian over the while renaming the high school debacle but when things turned sour when Peter and Brian started to hang out again.
- As Himself: James Woods voices his animated counterpart.
- Back from the Dead: In "Tom Tucker: The Man and His Dream" it is revealed that due to being a famous Hollywood actor, he was entitled to top-notch medical care at a Hollywood hospital, the care was essentially transfusing a life force from a 17-year-old girl to James Woods, hereby bringing him back from the dead.
- Fatal Flaw: "Ooh, piece of candy!"
- Heel–Face Revolving Door: In "And Then There Were Fewer", he met a girl named Priscilla who helped him realized the error of his ways and became a born-again Christian. Then he invited everyone he had done wrong to, to a fancy dinner so he could set things right. He ended up murdered by one of the people he was trying to apologize to: Diane Simmons, who manipulated the whole dinner as revenge for James breaking off their relationship and framed Tom Tucker for it. He was brought back to life, and although he isn't outright malicious to anyone he's still a bit of a jerkass in "Tom Tucker: The Man and His Dreams" as he hired Peter as his agent when he's already Tom's agent only to fire him.
- Ink-Suit Actor: Looks exactly as James Woods does in real life.
- Jerkass: Especially in "Back to the Woods", avenging his defeat when he steals Peter's wallet. He irresponsibly spends thousands of dollars with Peter's credit card, and commits identity theft by using his driver's license, social security number, passport and the title to the house to take Peter's home, family and title. As shown in "And Then There Were Fewer", he was this to everyone else.
- Locked Out of the Loop: While he may have learned that Diane tried to have him killed, he may not be aware that she also set him up with Priscilla unless Lois revealed that piece of information.
- Psychopathic Manchild: He's a psycho and he is a grown, middle-aged man who acts like a child.
- Revenge: His motivation in an episode when he steals Peter's ID and later impersonates him.
- Stalker without a Crush: Towards Peter. It seems he systematically got involved in "Brian Griffin's House of Payne" and "Tom Tucker: The Man and His Dream" just to screw up Brian and Peter as revenge.
- Too Dumb to Live: James Woods falls for an obvious trap twice involving Reese's Pieces and a rabbit trap. Peter himself lampshades it.
- Yandere: He becomes friends with Peter because his former best friend, Brian, started dating Shauna Parks and Peter felt left out. Peter and Woods remain friends until Brian breaks up with Parks and starts hanging out with Peter again. Woods becomes jealous and becomes very crabby towards Peter and Brian.
Ernie the Giant Chicken
Ernie the Giant Chicken
Voiced by: Danny Smith
Debut: "Da Boom"
A recurring gag character who shows up to fight Peter in a usually five minute brawl (sometimes longer than that).
- Affably Evil: Despite his crimes, he is genuinely friendly towards anyone.
- Anti-Villain: Outside of trying to kill Peter on a regular basis (and giving him an expired coupon), he seems like a friendly enough guy, and has a wife of his own. He just really hates Peter for petty reasons.
- Arch-Enemy: Peter Griffin refers to Ernie as his arch-nemesis in "Big Man on Hippocampus", and as his worst enemy in "Fecal Matters".
- Cocky Rooster: He is very aggressive and gets into violent brawls with Peter.
- Cycle of Revenge: He sells Peter an expired coupon, Peter beats him up, Ernie comes back to try and beat him up later, loses, tries to beat him up again a third time and then realizes he can't even remember what they were fighting about to begin with, attempts a reconciliation over dinner, fights with Peter over who will cover the check, loses, and so on and so on and so on. And "Meet the Quagmires" shows that he gave Peter the bad coupon in the first place because Peter accidentally hit him while dancing with Lois...back in 1984.
- Determinator: He refuses to die and keeps coming back to fight Peter another day.
- Disproportionate Retribution: This whole feud started because Ernie gave Peter a bad coupon. It's implied Ernie gave Peter the bad coupon in the first place because Peter traveled back in time several decades and accidentally hit him in the face while dancing.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Outside from his fights with Peter, he is shown to be a caring husband and father.
- Even Evil Has Standards: When Lois and his wife are about to get into a fight, he desperately warns them not to, fearing the same mistakes that he made would be repeated by his friend and his wife. Until the fight wasn't as horrible as the ones between him and Peter...
- Eye Awaken: At the end of every fight, Ernie is revealed to still be alive regardless of his horrific injuries, as the camera zooms in on his eye as it opens to the sound of a Scare Chord.
- Final Boss: Of the first video game.
- Flash Step: In the Back to the Multiverse game, he can dash across short distances in a blink of an eye.
- Informed Flaw: His origin implies he's evil or at least malevolent, but Peter's the one who first assaulted Ernie over a bad coupon.
- Leitmotif: The Giant Chicken theme
, which always plays during Peter's fights with him. - Lightning Bruiser: In the multiverse game. He can hit hard, can dash small distances in less than a second, and can tank a good deal of damage.
- Made of Iron: No matter how many times he gets badly beaten, he always comes back.
- Motive Decay: After going a few rounds with Peter over the years, he has to admit he can no longer remember why they were fighting in the first place, so he invites Peter to dinner to bury the hatchet. Then they start arguing over who will pay the bill...
- No One Should Survive That!: Except for the Giant Chicken.
- In "Internal Affairs", he falls to his apparent death with a chain around his neck and his fist on fire, but the chain catches on a branch, strangling him. The branch breaks and he gets skewered on an enormous metal spike. His hand then ignites some leaking rocket fuel, causing the rocket's engines to start up, burning him so that his body is no longer visible, then the oil rig where he and Peter were fighting explodes. After all that, he's soon shown to still be alive.
- In "PeTerminator", a Terminator version of Peter blows his head off, yet he still manages to survive with one of his dismembered eyes Eye Awakening.
- Outhumbling Each Other: How the second phase of their feud began; both he and Peter wanted to pay for the dinner he bought so that they could patch things up from the first phase of their feud.
- Plot-Irrelevant Villain: His fights with Peter are usually completely irrelevant to the actual plot of the episode, and are thrown in for Rule of Funny (and/or
to pad out the runtime). - Psycho Prototype: It's hinted in one episode that he was the result of a botched cloning attempt that resulted in a violent chicken/human hybrid. Reinforced when Peter tells its creator, Dr. Hartman, after learning this that they need to have a little talk.
- Rasputinian Death: So far, he's fallen from the top of a skyscraper, had his head mangled by an airplane propeller, had his head repeatedly bashed by a frying pan, had his neck nearly snapped, nearly choked to death, was skewered in his chest, and roasted alive. Somehow, he survived all of that.
- Suddenly Voiced: After being The Voiceless for his first two appearances, he has his very first speaking role in "No Chris Left Behind".
- Toothy Bird: Ernie is a giant male rooster who has teeth, which tend to get punched out by Peter.
- Unexplained Recovery: No matter how gruesome his apparent death was, he'll be back on his feet as right as rain in his next appearance.
Patrick Pewterschmidt
Patrick Pewterschmidt
Voiced by: Robert Downey Jr.. ("The Fat Guy Strangler") Oliver Vaquer ("Killer Queen")
Debut: "The Fat Guy Strangler"
Lois's older brother, disowned by his father for being "The Fat Guy Strangler." Since Peter Griffin is fat, this makes him a serious threat to him.
- Alliterative Name: Patrick Pewterschmidt
- Black Sheep: Carter Pewterschmidt chose to ignore his existence completely after he went insane. Lois discovers him when she takes a closer look at her family picture.
- Choke Holds: He's called the Fat Guy Strangler for a reason.
- Creepy Souvenir: Brian reveals to Lois the pictures of the many fat guys that he had strangled when she questions his guilt.
- Freudian Excuse: The reason he went insane and started strangling people was because he witnessed his mother having sex with Jackie Gleason. Peter Griffin accidentally causes him to become insane again when he impersonates Gleason.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Unless you're skinny, in which case you have nothing to worry about. Of course, if you're fat, it's doubtful that you would be able to run away from him for long.
- Obviously Evil: Brian points out the signs to Lois of Patrick being the Fat Guy Strangler when she's unable to believe that he's capable of doing such things.
- The Scapegoat: In Killer Queen, Charles Yamamoto releases him from the asylum so that people would think that he's responsible for the murders at the fat camp. It then turns out that Charles Yamamoto is after Chris for beating him in a hot dog eating competition.
- Serial Killer: He's man who strangles fat people. Inevitably, he goes after Peter.
- Strong Family Resemblance: He somewhat resembles his sister Lois.
- Visible Victimology:
- In "The Fat Guy Strangler," Lois discovers that she has a brother named Patrick who's been locked away in an asylum for years after experiencing a terrifying trauma — their mother Barbra performing oral sex on Jackie Gleason — as a little boy. As such, Patrick has developed a murderous hatred of fat men...and it just so happens that Peter has recently started an organization for fat guys like himself. Cue Patrick going on the rampage as the titular Fat Guy Strangler.
- Patrick returns in "Killer Queen." Fat children are being brutally strangled—but he's innocent in this case, and the police consult him for help in tracking down the real murderer (an angry teenager who lost to Chris in a hot dog eating contest and wants revenge).
Bertram
Bertram
Voiced by: Wallace Shawn
Debut: "Emission Impossible"
Stewie's half-brother via artificial insemination. He has since been Stewie's arch-rival.
- Arch-Enemy: Though Bertram bonds with Stewie over their mutual hatred of Lois in his debut episode ("Emission Impossible"), later seasons would portray the two as bitter enemies. In "Sibling Rivalry", they clash for control over the local playground; and in "The Big Bang Theory", Bertram's animosity towards his half-brother has escalated to the point he is willing to go back in time to prevent him from being conceived.
- Big Bad: In "The Big Bang Theory" and Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse.
- The Chessmaster: In Sibling Rivalry, when him and Stewie fight over the playground and arranged for a girl with chickenpox to infect Stewie.
- Enfant Terrible: Bertram is an evil genius just like Stewie, though far more unhinged. His matricidal thoughts date back to his time as a sperm, and he is willing to destroy the very fabric of the universe if it ensures Stewie's death as well.
- Evil Counterpart: He both looks and behaves like an evil version of Stewie. Well, more evil, but still.
- Friendly Enemy: In his first two appearances, he and Stewie get along as often as they fight. Their first meeting even ends with them on good terms. Averted in "The Big Bang Theory", where Bertram develops such an intense hatred of Stewie he develops a plan to go back in time and prevent his half-brother from being born.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Stewie ultimately kills him with the crossbow he'd used to kill Da Vinci.
- Irrational Hatred: It's never explained why he hates Stewie so much and it's especially confusing since their first meeting ended with them on good terms.
- Killed Off for Real: As of "The Big Bang Theory", the Bertram from the main Family Guy universe is dead. The one who antagonizes Brian and Stewie in Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is from an alternate Earth.
- Knight of Cerebus: Both "The Big Bang Theory" and Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse show Bertram in a more serious light.
- Laughably Evil: He had more humorous moments in his first two appearances than his third.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: In his first two appearances, while he does fight with Stewie, he also shares common ground and some laughs with him. But then, in "The Big Bang Theory", all redeeming qualities are gone, and Bertram is only focused on erasing Stewie from history. The video games take this up to eleven, where the 2006 video game shows Bertram's violent-yet-affable personality from his first two appearances, while Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse shows his Knight of Cerebus personality.
Connie D'Amico
Connie D'Amico
Voiced by: Fairuza Balk in Let's Go To The Hop, Lisa Wilhoit ("And the Wiener is..." to present)
Debut: Let's Go To The Hop
The popular girl at Meg's high school, who often teases and torments Meg.
- A Day in the Limelight: "Stew-Roids" is the closest she's gotten to her own episode.
- Alpha Bitch: Especially glaring since not only is she mean to Meg, but Brian spells out how her life is going to turn out, and predicts she'll "hit the wall" at age 19.
- Beauty Is Bad: She is popular and one of the most beautiful girls in the school, but she is also a horrible Alpha Bitch.
- The Bully: Downplayed since she also falls victim to a rather Disproportionate Retribution by another Jerkass character in the majority of her appearances. Her bullying seems kinda low-scale when you consider she has been brutally beaten twice over, framed for pedophilia by Stewie and sexually harassed by both Peter and Quagmire.
- Bullying a Dragon: In "Dial Meg For Murder", Connie and her friends think it's a good idea to torment Meg after she's been released from prison. This is stupid, considering how Meg looked buff and she didn't appear to be the mousy girl she used to be. When her friends constantly tease Meg, it ends as well as you'd expect.
- The Chew Toy: Yeah, she's a complete bitch, but so far, Brian has emotionally wrecked her by stating that she bullies girls like Meg to cover up the fact that she sees herself as a cheap sex object, Chris has publicly humiliated her, Peter has repeatedly bashed her face into a fire extinguisher, and Meg beat her for all the shit she's done to her, then proceeds to make out with her unconscious body. Oh, and Stewie got her arrested for pedophilia. And after she and her friends humiliated Meg, Lois got Quagmire to molest her (and her mother).
- Demoted to Extra: Used to appear on a regular basis, now she only get very short appearances, usually once per season. This is mostly because Connie appears in Meg-centered episodes.
- Entitled Bitch: Falls into this in the episode "Stew-Roids". She makes Chris popular, only for Chris to cheat on her and ruin her reputation. She asks Meg for help in knocking Chris down a peg, despite the fact that she has ruthlessly bullied Meg for years both on and off-screen; Meg points out that she has no reason to help Connie after everything she's done and tells her to screw off... but changes her mind after Chris throws a javelin into her shoulder for laughs.
- Even the Girls Want Her: It's implied that Meg is attracted to her.
- Flanderization: Originally she was just the popular Alpha Bitch character who would make fun of Meg for her efforts to try to fit in with the popular kids. Later on she goes out her way to bully Meg even if Meg is just minding her own business and her bullying tactics have gotten needlessly cruel over the years.
- Freudian Excuse: In "Barely Legal", Brian posits that Connie treats Meg so badly because she is ashamed of herself for putting out so early in life, and can't even bare to look at herself in the mirror because she sees nothing but a whore, picking on Meg to avoid the realization. The fact that Connie bursts into tears afterwards seems to support his theory.
- Hate Sink: Connie's role is just to be the antagonistic high school bully with no redeeming qualities so that fans can hate her.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: All of the abuse above is directly in response to her behavior (except the one with Chris, where she was in fact portrayed somewhat sympathetically): Brians' Breaking Speech was for insulting Meg at prom, Peter's No-Holds-Barred Beatdown was for insulting Meg in the hallway, Meg's Roaring Rampage of Revenge was for insulting her at lunch (plus their bad history), Stewie's Wounded Gazelle Gambit was for breaking up with him for—and later spreading the news about—his tiny dick, and Lois sics Quagmire on her after Meg's genuine attempts at friendship end in humiliation.
- How the Mighty Have Fallen: Brian prophesies that Connie will leave high school with nothing but memories of her lost beauty and glory days, also adding that she bullies Meg to avoid her own shame for being a whore. In future episodes, she is revealed to have become a stripper to make extra money.
- In Love with the Mark: In "Stew-Roids" she initially dated Chris as a joke and for attention but she soon developed genuine feelings for him until he broke up with her which put her at the bottom of the popularity poll.
- Ironic Name: The name Connie means "strong-willed" or "wise" and she's pretty dumb to bully Meg despite the number of times she's been attacked by Meg and her family for her bullying. The name also means "hero", and, while she is idolized in school, she's an antagonist for Meg. Also applies to her last name D'Amico, since "amico" is Italian for "friend" but she's an enemy to Meg.
- Jerkass: 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.
- Laser-Guided Karma: The running gag in which the Griffin family humiliates or hurts her in various ways. In "Connie’s Celica", she gets expelled from school after getting a third strike for assaulting Lois during class.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Was on the receiving end of one from Peter in "Peter's Daughter", as well as one from Meg in "Dial Meg for Murder".
- Lovable Alpha Bitch: Zig-zagged. In a few episodes, it is shown that she is actually capable of being fairly friendly and polite when she is not in school or actively antagonizing her classmates, but not to a great enough extent for her character to be memorable for it.
- Pet the Dog: In an early episode, when Meg and Lois crash a spring break party, Connie gives Meg a genuine cheer of support on the way back from the party.
- Pygmalion Plot: She turned Chris into the most popular kid in school as a joke but the mock relationship turned genuine. Eventually, Chris actually became the one to callously drop her into the bottom of the social poll.
- Teens Are Monsters: Connie is a bully who torments Meg on a daily basis. She is shown to be completely apathetic even after Meg tells her she has been cutting herself to cope with the emotional pain.
- 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.
- Ungrateful Bitch: Even after Meg helped her out to restore her status at school, she only thanked Meg halfheartedly at best. She also sets out to destroy Lois's life after she's expelled, even though Lois went out of her way to try and get her a lesser punishment (which Connie fully witnessed).
Minor Villains
Charlie the Bully
Charlie the Bully
Voiced by: Josh Peck
Debut: "The Kiss Seen Around The World"
A seven year old local bully who steals Stewie's trike in "The Kiss Seen Around The World".
- All There in the Script: More like All There in the Internet. Charlie was never referred to as 'Charlie the Bully', and just as 'Charlie'. He is known as 'Charlie the Bully' on internet because his surname is unknown.
- Groin Attack: If it wasn't for Lois to come into the basement where Stewie captured Charlie, latter would've been suffering these attacks.
- The Bully: Both of these words are the part of Charlie's internet nickname.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Got captured, and almost tortured, for stealing Stewie's tricycle.
Doug
Doug
Voiced by: Chris Parnell
Debut: "Island Adventure"
A kid in Stewie's preschool group who is constantly bragging and talking down to Stewie.
- The Ace: Doug is a super talented class-act, who's the big cheese around Quahog Preschool.
- Affably Evil: He is an unrepentant Jerkass to Stewie and loves one upping him…by being generous, charming, and pleasant. For Show and Tell, Doug brings fancy British candy for the entire class and praises Moana for managing her agoraphobia.
- Always Someone Better: He delights in being this to Stewie.
- In "80's Guy", Stewie struggled but succeeded to do a somersault. Doug went right after him and effortlessly did a perfect somersault and won the applause of all of the parents in the room.
Peter: Stewie, give Doug your shirt, your overalls, and your shoes. He's my son now. - Ascended Extra: In Season 20, Doug appears in (and is heavily involved in the subplots of) four out of the first six episodes. Prior to that, he had only made a few minor appearances (his most prominent being in the subplot of Season 18's "Meg Goes To College").
- Asshole Victim: Doug dies offscreen in "The Candidate" in a plane crash. But considering how much of a jerk he is to Stewie, with him noting his death offhandedly as if it was nothing, it's safe to say he doesn't care that Doug died.
- Break the Haughty: In "Meg Goes to College", Brian firing him as his personal trainer (to spare Stewie from his taunting) causes Doug to desperately plead that Brian keep him on, even offering to work for free. And then he's forced to admit he can't go down the stairs by himself (and learns that Stewie actually can).
- Bus Crash: Doug died in a commuter plane crash in "The Candidate". The viewer doesn't even get to ''see'' his death. Stewie off-handily mentions it to Brian at the episode's end, which is the reason he became snack captain instead of him.
- Character Death: Stewie off-handedly mentions that Doug died in an airplane crash in "The Candidate".
- Characterization Marches On: In his first appearance, he was actually quite friendly to Stewie. In all others, he treats Stewie as beneath him.
- Eviler than Thou: In "Brief Encounter", he and Stewie, in a Strangers on a Train homage, agree to "kill" each other's supposed unwanted toys. While Stewie's requested hit is a toy monkey, Doug's is a real cat, something even Stewie is horrified by. Doug pressures Stewie and when it fails, is implied to just to do the job himself.
- Foil: For Stewie, Doug is always one step ahead of him. Although a Brainy Baby, Doug is socially savvy, well-liked, and comes from an affluent family. Stewie has psychosexual issues, cannot relate to his peers, and comes from a lower middle class. This also manifests in his character design. Whereas Stewie has a football head, Charlie Brown hair, infantile clothing, an affected upper-class British accent, and distinctive pitter-patter footsteps; Doug has a normal head, a full head of hair, casual clothes, a standard American accent, and silent footsteps. Even in terms of being an Enfant Terrible, "Brief Encounter" implies Doug is more ruthless and petty when given the chance.
- Freudian Excuse:
- "LASIK Instinct" implies that Doug's need for glory and attention is rooted in his father's neglect of him.
- "80's Guy" reveals that he has a "Doug" of his own in the form of Tyler, an older boy who shows him up as much as he does Stewie.
- Friendly Rivalry: Doug and Stewie are on-again-off-again frenemies, who are always trying to one-up each other.
- Jerkass: He loves to rub his superiority in Stewie's face, and insults him regularly.
- Killed Offscreen: Doug unceremoniously dies off-screen in a plane crash.
- Like Parent, Like Child: "LASIK Instinct" shows that Doug inherited his smug, bragging personality from his father (who is even worse than he is).
- Passive-Aggressive Kombat: His preferred method of messing with Stewie is to brag about all his accomplishments, well aware that Stewie hasn't done the same.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: He serves as one to Stewie. The two are explicitly stated to be rivals in "80's Guy".
- Smug Snake: He's overwhelmingly arrogant and full of himself when things are going his way. But when things turn sour for him, he doesn't take it well at all.
- In "Meg Goes to College", he reacts to Brian firing him by begging to be kept on, then resorts to spitefully Blowing a Raspberry when Brian refuses.
- Thin-Skinned Bully: In "The Birthday Bootlegger", Stewie pulls the old "there's something on your shirt" trick on Doug, flicking his nose when he inevitably looks down. Doug actually starts bleeding from this.
- Vocal Dissonance: He's a literal toddler with Chris Parnell's deep voice.
Penelope
Penelope
Voiced by: Cate Blanchett
Debut: "Mr. and Mrs. Stewie"
Stewie's "soulmate", whom he commits several atrocities with in "Mr. and Mrs. Stewie".
- Ax-Crazy: Penelope is an evil baby who is delighted by violence and destruction. As Brian points out, she is unlike other antagonists in that she commits numerous crimes for no other purpose than to fulfill her unsatiable desire to spread chaos.
- Badass Adorable: Penelope is as cute as a kid can be in the Family Guy universe, but is also a dangerous sociopath who nearly defeats Stewie.
- The Corrupter: Brian accuses Penelope of being a bad influence for Stewie, since she has been directing him to commit crimes For the Evulz, rather than as a means to achieve a greater objective.
- Creepy Child: Penelop coldly talks about killing her mother, and smiles mischievously when she finishes her story.
- Distaff Counterpart: Penelope is a baby genius like Stewie, but her technology is more advanced than his, and she has actually succeeded in killing her own mother.
- Establishing Character Moment: When she first meets Stewie, she kills a kid with taffy laced with super glue.
- Enfant Terrible: Even more blood thirsty and sociopathic than Stewie. She even managed to do something Stewie was unsuccessful at—killing her own mother.
- Evil Brit: Much like Stewie, Penelope speaks with an English accent to highlight her intelligent, but malevolent nature. It's unclear if she is actually British.
- Evil Counterpart: Her existence is basically to show what kind of person Stewie could've been without his Character Development or redeeming qualities.
- Eviler than Thou: Unlike Stewie, she actually succeeded in killing her own mother...and thinks that he should murder his own best friend.
- Evil Versus Evil: The climax of her debut episode is a one-on-one fight with Stewie, who attacks her not out of regret for all the terrible things they've done together, but because she was trying to kill his best friend.
- Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Looks like a cute little girl but is an Enfant Terrible.
- For the Evulz: Brian points out that while Stewie's atrocities always had the underlying goal of world domination, but Penelope just wants to watch the world burn.
- Karma Houdini: Downplayed. Though Stewie manages to defeat her in battle, she ultimately escapes, with the only long-lasting punishment being her promise to stay away from Brian.
- Little Miss Badass: Unlike Stewie, Penelope was able to kill her mother.
- Vocal Dissonance: Has the voice of an adult woman, as fitting of Stewie's Distaff Counterpart.
- Yandere: She insisted that Stewie kill Brian when she thought he was interfering in their relationship.
Jeffrey Fecalman
Jeffrey Fecalman
Voiced by: Ralph Garman
Debut: "Jerome is the New Black"
Brenda Quagmire's abusive boyfriend who yells at, insults, and beats Brenda.
- Asshole Victim: Quagmire kills him with Peter's car, and nobody sheds a tear.
- Ax-Crazy: Murderous, psychotically brutal for no reason and a raving psychopath to boot.
- Berserk Button: If you even make eye contact with Brenda, you'll be lucky if all Jeff does is yell at you.
- Big Bad: In the episode "Screams of Silence: The Story of Brenda Q."
- Card-Carrying Villain: Has some shades of this, like when he happily admits that the only reason Brenda is marrying him is because she's pregnant, and when asked if he wants to participate in the guys' "annual midnight hunting trip", his first instinct is to express how fun it will be to shoot some animals.
- Car Fu: How he makes his exit, courtesy of Quagmire.
- Crazy Jealous Guy: To the point where he yells at Quagmire after Brenda gives him a hug. Never mind that Quagmire is Brenda's brother, or that he just came out of a coma.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Jeff gives Quagmire one during the climax.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Jeff beats Brenda for switching from The Tonight Show to The Late Show.
- Domestic Abuse: Very much. His behavior was one of the few things that was never Played for Laughs in the series, with Quagmire, Lois, Joe, and Peter all expressing genuine concern for Brenda without a hint of comedy.
- Even Evil Has Standards: In his Early-Bird Cameo, he agrees with his girlfriend and her brother that you should not insult people's family members, especially for being deaf.
- Evil Counterpart: To both Peter and Joe. While Peter is also a Domestic Abuser, it's mainly because he's too stupid to know any better (most of the time), Jeff however knows better and he does so anyway. He and Joe also both have a very loud voice.
- Evil Is Hammy: BIG TIME. His voice alone is hammy.
- For the Evulz: As he was beating Quagmire, he hinted that he was going to abuse Brenda's unborn child just to spite him.
- Jerkass: He's abusive, violent and has a total disregard for the feelings of others. He's an obnoxious and vile piece of crap that even his last name means feces.
- Killed Off for Real: In Screams of Silence, Glenn Quagmire crushes him between a tree and his own car, having survived getting strangled.
- Knight of Cerebus: He is one of the few villains on the show to be played completely seriously. He's also DAMN close to true evil in the entire series.
- Meaningful Name: Could you really think of a better surname for him than Fecalman?
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Gives a nasty one to Quagmire.
- No Indoor Voice: His voice entirely runs on ham! Worse, it's at its scariest when Jeff isn't violent.
- Pet the Dog: He orders Peter, Joe, and Quagmire to put their hands in the air at gunpoint, but then tells Peter that he can keep his lowered when Peter points out that his shirt is too small and pulls up and exposes his stomach whenever he raises his arms; the trope is more or less lampshaded immediately afterward when Peter mentions that if Jeff acted like that more often, they probably wouldn't have tried to kill him. He was also perfectly fine with Joe's panicked suggestion that he drop the gun and they all go home and forget about what happened.
- Sadist: Makes it more disturbing the fact that his sadism is played seriously.
- Slasher Smile: When he's strangling Quagmire.
- The Sociopath: It becomes clear rather soon that he ruthlessly enjoys tormenting people.
- Unstoppable Rage: Almost all of his screentime consists of him being in this state.
- What Does She See in Him?: The frequent question of his relationship with Brenda.
- Would Hit a Girl: Oh, poor Brenda.
- Would Hurt a Child: Implied to Quagmire.
Mrs. Lana Lockhart
Mrs. Lana Lockhart
Voiced by: Drew Barrymore
Debut: "Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High"
Chris' substitute teacher for a very brief amount of time with very notable assets. She eventually went crazy, killed her husband, and ran off with a bear.
- Affably Evil: Despite being murderous, her friendliness does come across as pretty genuine.
- Ambiguously Evil: It's unknown whether Lockhart had her husband killed because she was bored of him, or because he treated her badly and that she was seeking revenge. The fact it's never even explained why she murdered him doesn't help.
- Alliterative Name: Lana Lockhart
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She seemed pretty nice and normal until she tried to get Chris to kill her husband.
- The Cameo: She makes a cameo appearance in the "Peter is Slow" song from "Petarded".
- Comically Missing the Point: When summarizing George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four to the class, she says "So, basically, what Orwell was saying was it's not perfect but I’ll take it." Any familiarity with the novel would show that this statement is a complete butchering of its message warning against totalitarianism.
- Hot Teacher / Ms. Fanservice: Just take a look at her and understand why Chris falls for her.
- Interspecies Romance: With the bear that killed her husband, which can apparently talk.
- Ink-Suit Actor: She is clearly supposed to be modeled after her voice actress, Drew Barrymore, since she herself makes a cameo in a later episode and looks exactly like Lockhart.
- Karma Houdini: She kills her husband by hiding a bear in his oatmeal and escape with him without punishment. Unless you count her new boyfriend treating her like crap.
- Manipulative Bitch / The Vamp: Chris has a crush on her and she uses this as an advantage and tries to convince Chris to kill her husband.
- Victoria's Secret Compartment: She pulls multiple things from her cleavage, such as all the class tests and a machete.
- Villains Out Shopping: At the end of the episode, she's seen getting ready to go out for dinner with the bear.

- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Is based on real life competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi.

Evil Stewie
Evil Stewie
Voiced by: Seth MacFarlane
Debut: "The Hand That Rocks the Wheelchair"
- Ax-Crazy: A homicidal sadist who willingly commits torture and murder in his first few seconds on-screen. In many ways, he's like the Stewie Griffin of the first seasons, with all of his unbridled sadism and homicidal impulses intact.
- The Bad Guy Wins: Well, sort of. The ending of his debut episode implies (via a Michael Jackson's Thriller Parody) that he successfully tricked Brian into killing the real Stewie, but his victory has no lasting consequences.
- Bash Brothers: With Evil Mayor West in the multiverse game.
- Eviler than Thou: His actions are so revolting that even Stewie is horrified by his antics.
- Evil Is Not a Toy: Stewie initially plans to use Evil Stewie to "boost his evil side", allowing him to reverse his Villain Decay from the past few seasons. This backfires... horribly.
- Evil Knockoff: He's essentially Stewie from the first few seasons with his sociopathic tendencies brought up to eleven.
- Faux Affably Evil: When he finally speaks with Brian (who has his hands tied to a pole to lure the former into a trap) Evil Stewie thanks him for "making it so easy", obviously relishing his chance to kill Brian.
- For the Evulz: While Stewie's goals throughout the first few seasons were simply that of world domination, Evil Stewie's goals are just to kill anyone who he encounters.
- Hellish Pupils: If the ending is anything to go by.
- Kick the Dog: Literally! He cuts off Brian's tail and strangles him, on top of other horrific things.
- Lightning Bruiser: Physically powerful enough to slice a person in half and is quite swift and agile, in addition to having fighting skills as good or better than Stewie's.
- Perpetual Smiler: Never seen without that psychotic smirk on his face. He is seen without it when he comes out of the cloning machine, and during his and Stewie's final confrontation (to prevent Brian from being able to tell who is who).
- Sadist: Clearly enjoys cutting off Brian's tail and pushing it into Stewie's throat, as well as cutting a woman in half, among other horrific acts.
- The Sociopath: Is eager to maim and kill anyone he comes across, and lacks any of Stewie's redeeming qualities.
- Slasher Smile: His perpetual expression.
- Villain Team-Up: Again, with Evil Mayor West.
- The Voiceless: He never talks for some reason in Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse.

Voiced by: Scott Grimes
Debut: "A Fistful of Meg"
A new bully James Wood High. He transferred from another school.
- Asshole Victim: When he gets melted by the sight of Meg's boobs.
- Ax-Crazy: Yes, even more than Jeff. He is a very psychopathic brute.
- Big Bad: In the episode "A Fistful Of Meg".
- The Bully: Played up to eleven, even going to far as to try and kill Meg
- Disproportionate Retribution: The reason why he wants to beat Meg to death? Just because she accidentally got food on his jacket. Made worse when you realize more of it got on her than on him.
- The Dreaded: Everyone at the school fears his name.
- Expy: He is very similar to Jeff Fecalman, right down to similar looks.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: It's shown that it takes literally nothing to set him off. When Neil tries to give him tips on girls, Mike responds by nonchalantly twisting Neil into a balloon animal and popping him. Though Neil seems unfazed by the whole ordeal.
- Hidden Depths: Apparently, he's into football movies.
- Knight of Cerebus: His presence is very disturbing and not played for laughs. Like Jeff, he's but ONE STEP AWAY to pure evil.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Gives a nasty one to Meg.
- Sadist: Makes it more disturbing the fact that his sadism and cruelty is played seriously, like Jeff.
- Unstoppable Rage: Like Jeff, he is in a nigh-perpetual state of murderous, psychotic rage, which makes him even more savage.
- Would Hit a Girl: To Meg. And kill a girl, rather.
Sonja

Voiced by: Rachael MacFarlane
Debut: "Quagmire's Quagmire"
Quagmire's former girlfriend who seemed like a perfect match.

- Depraved Bisexual: Goes to a porn site involving Latinas and has an even more intense sex drive than Quagmire.
- Distaff Counterpart: She is a rapist and a sex deviant just like Quagmire, only she actually enjoys mistreating the people she has sex with.
- Domestic Abuse: She is physically and emotionally abusive to Quagmire. When the heroes investigate her path, they find out she has a history of being violent and neglectful towards her previous boyfriends.
- Evil Counterpart: To Quagmire. While Glenn uses women as objects of his lust, is a registered sex offender, and has taken women without their consent, he has a few redeeming qualities, such as caring for his friends and doing volunteer work in his spare time. Sonja has none of these traits, and she goes out of her way to hurt and traumatize her partners.
- Hate Sink: Sonja is a psychopathic sadist, and her abuse of Quagmire is not played for laughs.
- More Deadly Than the Male: While Sonja is nowhere near as physically strong as the male characters, she makes up for it by being far more manipulative, treacherous and cunning. When the heroes arrive to save Quagmire from her, she manages to ambush and hold all four of them at gunpoint.
- Sadist: She enjoys humiliating and beating up her sexual partners, even after they are reduced to tears.
- Spell My Name With An S: Her name is officially spelled "Sonja" in the script but, for some reason, subtitles, closed captioning, and The Other Wiki have her name spelled as "Sonya"
- Yandere: Locks Quagmire in a storage shed and never let him leave.
Lyle
Lyle
Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore
Debut: "Guy, Robot"
A robot Stewie made to replace Brian as his best friend.
- Brick Joke: After his and the Teds' destruction, Brian throws them out on the mattress that Peter threw away earlier. Herbert walks by and thinks it's a trap.
- Death by Irony: Stewie plots to destroy Lyle and the Teds with Brian's help, citing that their increased intelligence will make them difficult targets, but as he's plotting, Brian announces that he destroyed them all just by spraying them with the hose, a pretty braindead solution.
- Face–Heel Turn: Originally Lyle and Stewie were good friends, but soon Lyle becomes too smart for Stewie and builds two new robots called Ted B. and Ted R. to replace Stewie. When Stewie pleads to stay friends, Lyle just treats him like a Butt-Monkey.
- Happy Dance: He does this after delivering an epic burn to Brian to "Gloria" by Laura Branigan. He extends this feature to Ted R. (and possibly Ted B.), who dances to "The Cup of Life" by Ricky Martin.
- Machine Monotone: While Lyle can be very physically expressive, his voice remains flat and calm.
- Master Computer: Becomes this when he abuses Stewie for their amusement.
- Robot Buddy: Designed by Stewie specifically for this purpose. Unfortunately it blows up in his face when Lyle's intelligence increases.
- Undignified Death: He and the Teds are destroyed by the simple act of being sprayed with a hose.

- Hate Sink: Far worse than Peter and serves as his Freudian Excuse
- It's Personal: Once she realizes it's Peter trying to take her down a notch in her own profession, she pulls the "Toxic Shock" on him — except it's heavily implied that Karen is intending to murder Peter with it as payback for daring to fight back.
- Jerkass: She mocks and insults Peter in front of his family and friends, clearly enjoying his humiliation.
- Laser-Guided Karma: She ends up in a coma (courtesy of Meg hitting her with a chair), with it even being implied at the end of the episode that she could die. Peter is less than concerned.
- Murderous Thighs: Her finishing move, the "Toxic Shock". It involves putting the victim in a leg lock and nearly choking them to death.
- Punny Name: Her wrestling pseudonym is "Heavy Flo".
- Sadist: She deeply enjoys hurting Peter, both physically and emotionally. She even had no qualms over almost choking the life out of him.
- Small Role, Big Impact: Despite only being a One-Shot Character, she's implied to have embittered Peter into the Psychopathic Manchild he is today.
- Stout Strength: She's as fat as Peter, but has some serious muscle to go along with it.
- Strong Family Resemblance: She's rather feminine version of Peter, except meaner.
- Uncertain Doom: At the end of her debut (and currently only) episode, Karen is comatose in the hospital, due to Meg hitting her on the back of the head with a metal folding chair. She is never seen or mentioned again, so it's entirely unclear whether or not she survived the ordeal.
- Villain with Good Publicity: She's a well-respected lady wrestler, and Peter's family and friends loved having her at Thanksgiving, despite her constantly tormenting Peter. Meg was the only one to realize what a terrible person she really is.

- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He initially presents himself as wanting to reconnect with Brian. But it's all a front to trick Brian into getting himself neutered.
