List of Family Guy Characters - Gag Characters

Gag Characters

  • Al Harrington - Al Harrington is the owner, president and CEO of "Al Harrington's Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubeman Emporium and Warehouse". In an advertisement he speaks at an incredibly fast rate and could be described as 'in-your-face', but just in that friendly-annoying way, as described by Peter.
  • Buzz Killington (voiced by Danny Smith) - Buzz Killington is a man who dresses and acts as if he is a 19th century British man of means. His name is based on the term "buzz-kill". He is a stereotype of a socially popular person in the late 19th-century, but by today's standard would be regarded as a "buzzkill". He is typically introduced into otherwise fun situations, such as a wild party, but his contributions (showing etchings, telling stories) bring the party (and fun) to a grinding halt.
  • Evil Monkey (voiced by Danny Smith) - The Evil Monkey is a monkey living in Chris' closet, who scares Chris whenever he jumps out of the closet by pointing at him with an evil grimace and a strange tremble (which the monkey claims is due to a copper deficiency). For much of the series, the family believes the Evil Monkey is a figment of Chris' imagination. In "Hannah Banana", Chris does poorly on a test at school and blames the Evil Monkey, who he says scared him while he was trying to study. Peter and Lois are taken aback when Chris catches it and shows it to them. The Evil Monkey explains that he moved into Chris' closet after his wife had an affair and divorced him, and pointing at Chris was his way of trying to make conversation. Chris is unconvinced, but when Monkey helps him write a book report, Chris becomes friends with him. Eventually, Monkey moves out of Chris' closet and parts ways with him, saying "I'll go where I'm needed", and moves to Jake Tucker's closet as his new haunt. The monkey's trademark grimace and pointing was the idea of writer Mike Barker. In "The Cleveland Show" episode "BFFs", Peter Griffin brought the Evil Monkey with him to rescue Cleveland and his friends from hillbilly rapists.
  • Ernie the Giant Chicken (voiced by Danny Smith) - Ernie the Giant Chicken is an anthropomorphic, human-sized chicken that often fights violently and suddenly with Peter Griffin, usually interrupting some unrelated event. The fight scenes are often very long and melodramatic, involving the destruction of large sections of Quahog. Peter wins most of the time. This rivalry begins in the episode "Da Boom" when the Giant Chicken gives Peter an expired coupon, which angers Peter. (However, in "Meet the Quagmires", Peter's meddling in his past allows him to accidentally punch Ernie while dancing at the Country Club, giving a new origin to the rivalry.) In "No Chris Left Behind," their fight comes to a halt when Peter and the Giant Chicken forget what they have been fighting about, and Peter is cordially invited to dinner with the Chicken (referred to as Ernie) and his wife Nicole. Upon the end of the meal, both Peter and the Giant Chicken try to pay for the bill, attempting to be polite. The ensuing argument results in a fight, and the Giant Chicken and Peter resuming their feud. In "Big Man on Hippocampus," the Chicken ends up attacking an amnesiac Peter when he insults his lawn. The blow to the head causes Peter to remember who he is and states that he does not remember making peace with the Giant Chicken, who resumes smashing various objects on his head. The Giant Chicken is shown as Boba Fett in the Star Wars episodes "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" and "It's A Trap!". In the episode "New Kidney in Town", Dr. Hartman tells the Griffins about his failed cloning attempt, which resulted in a violent man-sized chicken. That prompts Peter to tell Dr. Hartman that they need to have a talk. He also appears in the episode "Trading Places", when Chris was making a chicken noise and he states that the noise was fake. The chicken's fight with Peter continues in the season 10 finale "Internal Affairs" where Peter accidentally backs into the front of the chicken's car, causing yet another fight. This time, at an oil rig, the Chicken was close to killing Peter, but then gets burned alive by the falling debris and falls into the ocean, taking on the appearance of a roasted chicken, but opens his eyes, revealing he is still alive. In "Yug Ylimaf," Brian and Stewie witness a backwards fight between Peter and Ernie where it was shown that Peter had opened his car door in front of Ernie's moving bicycle. He is the main antagonist in Family Guy Video Game! disguised as Mr. Belvedere.
  • Greased-up Deaf Guy (voiced by Mike Henry) - Greased-Up Deaf Guy first appeared in the episode "The Thin White Line". He can speak well, but somewhat out of tone. He is always shown running, and even when stopped, he will continue to run in place and flail his arms. In "North by North Quahog", he mentions that he used to be a lawyer. In "Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High", he is seen speaking in court during the show's intro which parodied Law and Order. He was named Jay after an audience member by the same name in Family Guy Live queried his name in a Q&A session. He appears in the direct-to-DVD movie Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story. He also appears in Family Guy Online. It was revealed in the Season 11 episode "Yug Ylimaf" that the reason for his condition is because he was walking by a grease truck that exploded, causing his deafness and burning off his suit while covering him in grease. Brian and Stewie witness this at the time when time was going backwards due to an accident with Stewie's time machine.
  • Kool-Aid Guy (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) - The Kool-Aid Guy is the mascot for Kool-Aid, a popular drink. In "Death Has a Shadow" and "Stewie Kills Lois", the Judge sentenced Peter to prison, after each family member screams "Oh no!", the Kool-Aid Guy runs through the courtroom wall screaming "OH YEAH!", then backs away awkwardly. In "Peterotica", he is shown sitting in his living room when a car crashes through his wall, causing him to realize how it felt to be the target. In "Prick Up Your Ears", after Stewie Griffin panics about the existence of the Tooth Fairy, Brian Griffin and then Chris Griffin fail to calm Stewie down and then Glenn Quagmire makes an attempt, then the Kool-Aid Guy is seen in a pair of boxing gloves at the back of the line behind other characters. In "The Hand That Rocks the Wheelchair", Evil Stewie lures him out by pretending to impersonate other people going "Oh No!", when he bursts through the wall, Evil Stewie shatters him, he then drinks the Kool-Aid that spilled all over the floor. Thanks to Stewie's interference, the Kool-Aid Guy misses his cue when they travel back to the events in "Death Has a Shadow" in "Back to the Pilot", when he shatters trying to back out of the courthouse, he is still able to yell at Stewie for messing things up.
  • Tomak and Bellgarde (voiced by John Viener and Alec Sulkin) - Tomak and Bellgarde are two foreign guys who have "been living in the United States almost long enough to sound American". They first appeared in "The Former Life of Brian", they were sitting in a coffee shop discussing how much fun they had at a "discotheque", and reflecting that they had drunk "so many liters of beer". In "Extra Large Medium", they try to figure out a way to celebrate Gerbitz Day, a holiday in their native country. In "Road to the North Pole" they partake in the musical number "All I Really Want For Christmas", revealing they don't know what Christmas is, however, they have a similar holiday in their home country called "Kishkev Fufleer". They are alcoholics, attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings Peter attends in "Friends of Peter G.", they did not share any stories, but did participate in the performance of "Mr. Booze".
  • Vern (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) and Johnny - Vern and Johnny are a stereotypical vaudeville music duo. Vern often appears randomly in certain episodes performing a musical routine. When people fail to react, Johnny plays a tune on his piano. In the episode "Saving Private Brian", Stewie shoots and kills them. They later appear in "Back to the Woods" where they are seen in Hell. Johnny is revealed to have been sent to Hell because he "liked little boys".

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    A criminal trial is like a Russian novel: it starts with exasperating slowness as the characters are introduced to a jury, then there are complications in the form of minor witnesses, the protagonist finally appears and contradictions arise to produce drama, and finally as both jury and spectators grow weary and confused the pace quickens, reaching its climax in passionate final argument.
    Clifford Irving (b. 1930)
