## What Makes Him A Base Breaking Character?

#### What Do People Like About Him?

* Peter is a very hilarious and amusing character with his random and stupid antics which keeps the show very entertaining, with a very iconic laugh.
* He is a very memorable with his interesting fights with Ernie The Giant Chicken, Homer Simpson, and Donald Trump.
* Over the years, Peter got plenty of internet memes because of how funny he is with his stupidity and his catchphrases.
* While this is mostly shown in the earlier seasons, Peter really cares and loves his family and didn't abuse his children and most of all, Meg in the beginning of the series. He is also a great friend to Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe. Even in the new episodes, he still bonds with his family and is a caring father sometimes.
* He can still be heroic at times, even in the newer seasons. He stood up to fight Donald Trump since he molested Meg, giving Brian a better life since he was a stray dog, and saving Joe from committing suicide.

#### What Do People Dislike About Him?

* He infamously suffered an extremely bad character derailment and flanderization, as proven when he went from a jolly, yet clumsy, father and husband with a heart of gold to an abusive selfish psychopath who turned into a straight off villain who constantly abuses his children, especially Meg, and a horrible cheating husband to Lois with almost no redeeming qualities.
* He killed way too much people and doesn't seem to care about this, forgets about it, and barely gets punished for his acts.
	+ He's even harmful to animals, such as the time he killed Quagmire's cat with a blade.
* Most of his actions in the series make him completely unforgivable, such as trying to marry his own son Chris just for money, which is considered an incest, and when he told Brian and Lois to stop crying after Meg was gone. To top it off, when he thought the world was ending he told his family that he was ashamed of them, believing they were about to die and that he wouldn't have to pay any price for saying this.
* His laugh and stupidity overtime starts to get very annoying and irritating, and no longer enjoyable.
* He is also a hypocrite, saying that he hates when people hurt Meg, but does the exact same thing to her constantly, but much worse.
