DC Versus

This weeks edition of Versus pins two of the funniest cartoon fathers of all time, and will most likely maintain that status for all time.

First is Springfields own,
Homer Jay Simpson


And Cohog Rhode Islands,
Peter Griffin


im talking about an all out brawl. I would love to see these two go at it and once and for all settle the debate as to who (and consequently whos show) reigns supreme in the cartoon comedy world.

Both of these guys have the IQ of a small rodent, so as far as overall intelligence, its a push. But that makes for an even greater battle. they are both idiots.


yea, a push indeed.

Next lets look at basic fighting experience. Homer once fought the heavyweight champion of the world because he could take a punch. remember that episode where he almost died because of all the hits he was taking and then burns or someone came into the ring with a helicopter parachute thing? i cant find a clip of that but then theres Peters battles. Well all know who he fights the most. That crafty crafty chicken. in case you have other things to do than watch the whole fight, heres just the beginning, how it started with the careless handing out of expired coupons.

This is also a tough category simply because Family guy is a much more violent show than is the simpsons. its not homers fault he never fought a life size chicken. Even so, it looks like Peter may have more experience. but as we know, experience isnt everything.

How about heart. Who has the will to see this battle through to the end? Who will get up the most after being knocked down repeatedly. I am one to believe Homer has the edge in the section because at times Peter can be a little over dramatic when it comes to pain.

Homer, while sometimes emotional, would probably have a better threshold for pain when all is said and done.

You want to talk comedy, i dont care what anyone says, Homer is the Godfather of cartoon comedy. hes funnier than Peter because he did it all first. he is the original fuck up father who is outlandishly inappropriate and horrible to his wife. his adventures and numerous careers paved the way for future characters like Peter Griffin to even come into development. Peter griffin is hilarious, and endlessly entertaining, but Homer is the original 'don-donna' and if you cant recognize that then we have nothing further to discuss.

HOWEVER on the grounds of an all out fist fight, i would go with peter. Peter has more evil in him and is surprisingly talented at fighting. He is very unpredictable and even if he pauses frequently as he does in the show for a comedic reference and a cut away, homer would just sit and listen (do to his low IQ). I pains me to say it, but i declare Peter the winner of this physical battle of nitwits.
