The Top Ten

Stewie Griffin

Stewart Gilligan "Stewie" Griffin is a main character from the animated television series Family Guy. He's the youngest child of Peter and Lois Griffin and the brother of Meg and Chris.
Stewie is depicted as highly intelligent and often obsessed with violence and matricide. He frequently engages... read more

This guy is hilarious! He constantly exposes Brian, who I fully hate, acts serious for a bit, but then acts like a normal baby, except for the way he talks.
He hates Lois and tries to kill her. Best of all, the way he cusses is so funny! I sometimes hope that everyone can understand him except for Lois because if it were like that, it would be even more hilarious!

Stewie is just amazing. Imagine the show without him, and there is no show. If it weren't for Stewie and Brian and their weird love-hate relationship, the show wouldn't be a show.
Peter Griffin

Peter Griffin is the main protagonist and titular character of the American animated sitcom Family Guy. Peter is known for being foolish and doing random things for the sake of comedy. His wife, Lois Griffin, often nags him. He didn't pass the third grade, and his father is an Irish man.... read more

Haha, thinking about this guy just cracks me up. It is hilarious the way he treats Meg.
Lois: I'm gonna become a model.
Peter: Then I shall grace myself by looking at your pictures.
Stewie: Me too.
Chris: Me too.
Meg: And me.
Peter: Aw, Meg, just gross, aw! Get out!
Meg: But wha...
Peter: Dammit, Meg, I said out! (punches the wall)

Peter Griffin definitely is the funniest and knows how to tell jokes despite his stupidity.

Glenn Quagmire

Glenn Quagmire, often referred to as just Quagmire, is a character from the animated television series Family Guy. He is known for his hyperactive libido and catchphrase Giggity. Quagmire is a commercial airline pilot and one of Peter Griffin's neighbors and friends.

Quagmire always makes me laugh every time I see him. He doesn't even need to do anything to make me laugh because as soon as I see him, I know something hilarious will happen next.

I liked Quagmire better in the first couple of seasons, but now he's all serious and is always an ass to Brian.
Brian Griffin

Brian H. Griffin, popularly known without his middle initial as Brian Griffin, is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy. He is the Griffin family's anthropomorphic pet dog, known for his dry wit, intellectual demeanor, and liberal political views. Brian is voiced by series... read more

This guy is so funny! I've heard all of his songs! So much funnier than Peter and Stewie put together. Very funny.

He's a good character because he just seems the most normal Griffin. He can be such a savage around Peter.

When Meg says that everybody hates her and he pretends to care by just saying "oohh" sarcastically! It's just hilarious!
Herbert

John Herbert is a fictional character in the animated television series Family Guy Herbert is an elderly man who lives in Quahog and is known for his inappropriate obsession with Chris Griffin. He speaks with a soft voice and often uses a walker to get around.

Babysitting Episode
Meg: "I'm a 17-year-old girl, and I don't need you here."
Herbert: "Well, Meg, you're a 17-year-old girl, and I don't need you here."
Priceless!
Mayor Adam West

He was one of the funniest and most joyful characters on Family Guy, and everything he said made me laugh.
It's so sad that he died. He will be forever in our memories.
R.I.P. Adam West

Everything that comes out of this guy's mouth is outrageously funny.
Consuela
Chris Griffin

Christopher Cross "Chris" Griffin is a fictional character from the American animated television series Family Guy. He is the teenage son of Peter and Lois Griffin and the older brother of Stewie Griffin. The character is voiced by actor Seth Green.

I don't know, I just have a thing for stupid characters on TV shows, and Chris just never fails to make me laugh. Very underrated character.
Death

Death is awesome! He's so funny and cool. He can kill anyone if they touch his bones! He should at least be in the top 5!
Cleveland Brown

He's hilarious when he gets mad - Get the hell out of my wife, you bastard.
The Giant Chicken
Meg Griffin

Meg was originally voiced by Rachael MacFarlane in the pilot, then by Lacey Chabert for the first season, and has... read more

Meg is funnier than Herbert, at least. Herbert is a creepy pedophile, which nobody I know thinks is funny. His voice is annoying. The Meg episode where she comes out of prison and beats everyone up is hilarious!

Meg makes the rest of the characters funny! She is funnier than Chris. She has a hearable voice. Meg should be in the top 10.

Actually, I find Meg a little bit funny. But I still like her.
Ollie Williams

Tom: Welcome to the news at what I assume is dawn. Our top story continues to be: where is the giant canoe heading? We now go to Ollie Williams with the port side forecast, Ollie.
Ollie: I saw a fish!
Tom: Thank you, Ollie.

Tom: What are you making for breakfast, Ollie?
Ollie: Eggos!
Tom: Thanks, Ollie. What's up next on the news?
Ollie: Sports!
Tom: Thanks. Now here's the sports! (Not sure if this is word for word.)

Remember when weed was legalized, and he talked normally? It was so funny. He needs to be on the show more.
Fjurg Van Der Ploeg

I'm really not a fan of Family Guy, but he is absolutely hilarious!
Lois Griffin

Lois Patrice Griffin is one of the main characters in the American animated television series Family Guy. She is the wife of Peter Griffin and the mother of Meg, Chris, and Stewie Griffin. Lois is voiced by Alex Borstein and is known for her sarcastic wit, moral sensibility, and occasional unpredictability.... read more

I find it hilarious how, in the first seasons, Lois just kept avoiding death every time Stewie tried to kill her. And the one time he could, Death was in their house, and she couldn't die.

Haha, Lois is normally serious, but once in a while, she says something funny.
