Lois Griffin (seasons 8-present)

Lois Patrice Pewterschmidt-Griffin (born February 18, 1975) is the deuteragonist in the FOX animated TV series, Family Guy. Originally she was a protagonist, but as she became darker, despite being one of the protagonists, she does have several episodes where she has an antagonistic role.

She is voiced by Alex Borstein, who is well-known for her portrayal of Ms. Bonnie Swann on the hit satirical comedy show MADtv.

Why She Sucks Now

 * 1) She is despicably unlikable. As she has done some very distasteful things to her family and other people.
 * 2) She has a very nasally annoying voice that makes her sound as annoying as Whitey Duvall's voice.
 * 3) She acts like she has pure dominance over Peter's life.
 * 4) *She grounds Peter in Undergrounded just because he was using a credit card. Not helping is the fact that at the end of the episode when Peter is hauled from the cave, they run to each other, and what does she do? She doesn't cuddle him, SHE ASSAULTS HIM!!! (Not to mention that she is not Peter's mom, she is his wife, and its impossible to ground someone even it's you're child).
 * 5) *When Peter and the family are having a good time in The First No L, she storms the house and sacks it just because they were doing well without her.
 * 6) She has done just about as much stupid things as Peter. Like turning down ten million dollars from her father that could have really helped the family, and once tried to make the town give up vaccinations.
 * 7) With Peter, it's expected for him to be a bad parent, but with Lois, she is meant to be the wise and kind one. But ironically, she is much worse.
 * 8) She sometimes completely neglects and insults her children. Especially Meg.
 * 9) * She once stole money from Chris. (Which Chris works hard to earn). She also made Chris once sleep in the basement FOR NO REASON. And she also once chained Chris to a board of wood and forced him to remember the names of the 4 girls from Sex and the City. She also promised not to share an embarrassing photo of him and she went ahead and did it anyway.
 * 10) * She also doesn't ever help Meg. (When she is the one person that she should be able to turn to for help). In another episode, she breaks Meg's glasses when THEY WERE ON HER FACE!!! WHICH COULD HAVE BLINDED HER!!! And when Meg calls her out on her crap, she is too fragile to take it and Meg has to apologize for doing the right thing showing that Lois is a coward.
 * 11) * Even Stewie (an infant) isn't safe from her. There's been times where she stated that she's "put Stewie in the oven several times" which is not only assault, but child abuse as well!
 * 12) * If there was any justice in Quahog, Child Protective Services would have her head for her crimes.
 * 13) She sometimes blames others for her own actions. Like when she attempted to cheat on Peter twice with Justin Bieber and with Meg's boyfriend, and blamed Peter for her choices.
 * 14) She is at her worst in Throw It Away.
 * 15) She can be very thickheaded, and as clueless and idiotic as Peter. Like when she once stated that it's impossible for men to be sexually harass by women, gay and transgender are the exact same thing, and she when she blamed Peter when she cheated on him.
 * 16) When she tries to be funny, all she comes off as is loud and annoying.
 * 17) She falls right under MacFarlane's Unfair Sex trope. Where she has little to no exposed flaws that are supposed to cause conflict that will help her grow as a character.
 * 18) She constantly insults and puts down other people, acting as if she's better than they are, and even mocking people for things she is equally guilty of.
 * 19) She keeps calling Peter names, even when he doesn't deserve it.
 * 20) In the episode "Throw it Away", she made the rest of her family leave the house and wants to ensure the house was empty and cluttered.
 * 21) Her mean girl personality makes her unlikable.
 * 22) * Hell, she used to be a mean girl back when she was in high school, and bullied Joyce Kinney to the point where she holds a grudge against her.
 * 23) She once abused Peter by beating him with a magazine. While it was because he was doing something outright offensive it's still not right!
 * 24) *She also violently assaults Peter many times, such as when he and Chris went out to get the groceries (One of the few things Peter has done that is nice), when Peter COMPARED HER TO ANNE HATHAWAY, (Short Cuts) and when Peter was JUST FREED FROM A TUNNEL (Undergrounded).
 * 25) Her musical talents are almost never heard of in newer episodes. This was one of her most well known traits.
 * 26) She is sometimes seen having sexual affairs with other guys. Worse still, some of them are underaged, such as Meg's boyfriend in "Go, Stewie, Go!" and a young Justin Bieber in "Lois Comes Out Of Her Shell". And in "The New Adventures of Old Tom" she abandons Peter to meet up and with a stranger who claims he's rich and left with him on his helicopter and presumably have sex with him afterwards as the episode ends.
 * 27) She NEVER apologizes for her actions.
 * 28) She gets away with a lot more than Peter does.

Redeeming Qualites

 * 1) She at least cares about her family.
 * 2) Her design is still decent and attractive.
 * 3) To be fair, she was a more likable character in the earlier seasons (season 1 to season 7).
 * 4) She has made some good points towards her family, and her voice is tolerable at times.
 * 5) Much like Peter, Quagmire, and Brian, she eventually became more likable in the newer seasons.
