Every Simpson, Griffin & Belcher Family Member Ranked

Only finishing above Maggie practically puts Lois last.

She's a decent part of the Griffin family, but the writers rarely do team-up episodes, with the cast mostly splitting off doing their own thing. As the show has rolled on, this has only gotten worse for Lois.

Family Guy is great at punching down; it’s not for everybody, but by now you should know what you’re getting into. Considering they don’t really try to write rounded women (the fact Jillian is one of the most developed females speaks volumes), Lois consequently bears the brunt of most gags.

The worst thing is she's not even that good at even being that; Meg makes a much better and more creative punching bag. Lois’ rare solo efforts seem to rely on ‘Ha! Wives!’ comedy. By now, it’s stale.

She used to get in on the Meg dogpile, and her one-sided rivalry with Stewie used to get a decent plot every now and then. These days though, she’s either not involved at all or a supporting character in a Peter story.

Her only interaction with her kids tends to be telling them off to set up jokes for a bigger hitter to land. She’s easily the least funny or important Griffin.
