Chris

Chris, like his father, lacks intelligence and common sense, but has numerous hidden gifts, in particular artistic ability, knowledge of film and TV actors, and occasionally makes very insightful comments from out of nowhere ( eg. in "Deep Throats, he gives Peter and Lois a detailed lecture on the effects and dangers of cannabis"). He is often tormented by an evil monkey who lives in his closet.

When the Griffin home seceded from the United States ("E. Peterbus Unum"), Chris was head of their "space program", albeit an unsuccessful one, which can be seen when he falls from the tree. Stewie controlled Chris to do his bidding, until a microwave short-circuited the mind control device and he tried to kill Stewie. In "Brian the Bachelor", Chris developed a pimple, which he named Doug the Pimple, that could speak and even, at one point, hold a gun. It compelled him to commit various acts of mischief. The plotline is a loose allusion to the plot of Little Shop of Horrors, yet another Family Guy reference to musical theater. In the episode "Breaking Out Is Hard to Do", Chris was pulled into a-Ha's "Take On Me" video. In "Jungle Love", he got married in South America after joining the Peace Corps.

Chris was originally given a "punk" image, according to creator Seth McFarlane's DVD Commentary tracks. He wore earrings, and his painful awkwardness was not as emphasized as it is later in the series. Lois and Stewie were other characters to undergo major yet gradual character changes in this manner.

In one episode, Chris is revealed to have been an accident, caused by a faulty condom ("and the lawsuit bought us this house! You're my favourite mistake!" says Lois.)
