10 Similarities You Never Noticed In Family Guy And The Simpsons

10. Both Babies Have Tried To Kill Someone

Stewie Griffin spends at least half his time on the show trying to kill people; he€™s poisoned them, set wild animals on them, and blasted Colin Farrell with a raygun. He started early, and while it's less of a thing now, his murderous tendencies still do creep in. Despite being far less amoral, Maggie Simpson has also dabbled in a spot of attempted murder. In Who Shot Mr. Burns? Parts 1 And 2, otherwise known as the best Simpsons episodes ever, she levels the old curmudgeon with a magnum. She gets away with it, thanks to it being classed as an accident, but at the end of the episode, Maggie does shifty eyes while gunshots play over an image of her sucking her dummy. That€™s right, she did it on purpose, because he tried to take her candy. And she€™s entirely unrepentant. Stewie€™s already twisted; one of the first traits listed on his character bio is €œkilling off many minor characters€ but it€™s lucky Maggie€™s never going to grow up or she could very well turn into an equally unsettling and dangerous psychopath.
