Peter Griffin (Seth MacFarlane) on Family Guy
Peter Griffin is pretty freakin' dumb ... and pretty freakin' hilarious. How dumb is he? In an episode of The Simpsons, Homer's dumb clone was Peter Griffin.

He likes to drink with his buddies, reminisce about outrageous things that have happened to him (maybe), and harass his family with his half-witted hare-brained schemes. In a recent episode, he imagined his own sitcom called "My Black Son" in which he and his imaginary African-American son relived all the great opening scenes from eighties' TV comedies. By the way, his black son was also a ninja.

Peter has a good heart, a sick brain, and an enormously overproportioned body that he delights in prancing about nude on-camera. Fortunately, his girth provides strategic cover for his man parts. I mean this is a show called Family Guy, right?
