Hero Showdown: Homer vs. Peter
Battle of the couch potatoes!
by IGN Stars
December 18, 2007 - Our last Hero Showdown was a clash of the spies: Jason Bourne vs. James Bond, with 007 himself just eking out a win with 53.9% of the vote. But we now go from cartoonish secret agents to actual cartoons with our new Hero Showdown, pitting two bloated buffoons against one another in a battle of the couch potatoes!
This week's match features Springfield's town idiot (and occasional inadvertent genius) from The Simpsons, Homer Simpson, against Quahog's lovable lower-middle-class louse from Family Guy, Peter Griffin, in a toons' takedown of the titans. What better way to celebrate the release of The Simpsons Movie on DVD this week? And to the winner goes a Korean animation sweatshop!
Remember, it's you, the reader, who can help determine the victor of this match-up. Just read about the opponents below, and then be sure to scroll to the bottom of this page and vote in the poll. And make sure to check back soon for the results!
Homer Simpson
Safety Inspector of Sector 7G at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, husband to Marge and father to Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, Homer Jay Simpson is a simple guy who often finds himself in rather complex situations: From his Grammy-winning exploits in the barbershop quartet, the Be Sharps, to his time as an astronaut for NASA, to a spin as a submarine commander, and beyond.
Through it all, Homer is lazy, selfish, stupid, and often arrogantly off-putting at times, though his near-alcoholic tendencies and ignorant ways somehow always wind up getting trumped by dumb luck, and also by an overriding love for, and devotion to, his family.
As for his fighting skills, Homer has proven himself on occasion to be surprisingly nimble and athletic when called into action, as evidenced by his Whacking Day, backyard, training-session. Homer's physical prowess was also on display when he proved to be an arm-wrestling champ or when he spent time working as a superhero. But he has also been prone to incredible acts of cowardice (remember that time he fought Bart's "Bigger Brother" mentor and tricked him by screaming, "I'm a hemophiliac!"?)

Peter Griffin
Like Homer, Peter Lowenbrau Griffin's best character traits are not readily apparent. He's a lay-about, who has had a variety of lowbrow jobs. Also, Peter often embarrasses - if not downright humiliates - his family in public and in private. His stupidity and girth are surpassed only by his drunken shenanigans and boorishness.
His wife is Lois Griffin and his children are Meg, Chris, and Stewie. He also has, or rather lives with, a talking dog named Brian. Over the years, his jobs have included gigs at a toy factory, working as a fisherman, and working at the Pawtucket Patriot Brewery. Scattered episodes of unemployment have also figured prominently in his lifestyle.
Peter's physical abilities haven't been tested the way Homer's have been, though he has undertaken some extreme acts of derring-do. These include hijacking a plane (and getting raped in prison as a result), working undercover as a drug investigator, and a stint as a sumo wrestler.
And, of course, Peter does have a long-standing grudge against the chicken known as Ernie, who he has battled time and again.

While yes Homer is classic, can you honestly say that the Simpsons of today (hell, the Simpsons past 1999) are anywhere near as good as Family Guy is today? The Simpsons is one of my favorite shows, well was one of my favorite shows, but the show is just plain awful now.. [+] Full Comment

I love both these shows. There's no way I could decide which one is better, they are both great and enjoyable to watch.

All you 13 year olds. Simpsons is the classic cartoon, which makes it the winner. Family guy's rating allows it to make jokes that are more offensive and rude... which obviously makes it funnier. But relies far too much on flash-backs and really obvious- slapstick jokes, rather than punch lines...

Great Homer Quotes:
"Operator! Give me the number for 911!"
"Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers."
"Marge, don't discourage the boy! Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel."
"You know, boys, a nuclear reactor is a lot like a woman. You just have to read the manual and press the right buttons."
"It's not easy to juggle a pregnant wife and a troubled child, but somehow I managed to fit in eight hours of TV a day."
"Lisa, Vampires are make-believe, like elves, gremlins, and eskimos."
"Remember that postcard Grandpa sent us from Florida of that Alligator biting that woman's bottom? That's right, we all thought it was hilarious. But, it turns out we were wrong. That alligator was sexually harassing that woman."
"How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?"
"[Looking at a globe map...country being Uruguay]
Hee hee! Look at this country! 'You-are-gay.'"
The choice is obvious.
