Family Guy Character of the Week: Meg


Meg is certaintly the most riduculed character in Family Guy. The whole family detests her and Peter even forgets she is his daughter sometimes. During the episodes there is always a moment for people to make fun of her, and the funniest thing is the series does not change it. She is mocked and mocked for ever, making of her a comical releif for kids parents hate. If someone has to be risked in the family, Meg is always the chosen one. Nevertheless, there are some episodes she starts out ok and seems to have a chance to change her life. However...in the end she always ends up in bad shoes. In the video below, is a perfect example of how useless she is considered by the family.

I think that Meg's character, despite being considered uselss, is very important to the series. It brings a different humour and causes the episodes to become more dynamic. If she didn't exist, there wouldn't be a scapegoat for all the random flaws that occur within the family, and the funny scenes where Peter or any other character mocks her would not happen. Certainly she plays an important role in the plot.

Family Guy Character of the Week: Peter Griffin

weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/.../griffinpeter.jpg
Whoever watches or watched Family Guy, certantly knows Peter Griffin. Man of the family and leader of the Griffins Household, Peter helds too much responsibility for his naiveness. During the series Peter noramally carries the family to desaster only to save them at the end with a random idea.What makes Peter unique though, is his immense stupidity, his laughs(yehee yehee), and his hatred to his daughter Meg. IN my opinion he is the funniest character of Family Guy, however he is not my favourite one. Nevertheless, I guarantee that whoever watches Peter Griffin doing anything will have a great time and laugh a lot.

Here are some quotes from the amazing Peter Griffin:
Bonnie: Somebody save him, he can't swim!
Peter: Oh, he's not even kicking. Kick Joe, kick.
Lois: Peter, he's a paraplegic!
Peter: That doesn't mean he can't hear. Kick Joe, kick!

Peter (after Lois tells him he's childish): "If I'm a child that means you're a pedophile, and I'll be damned if i'm going stand here and take this from a pervert."

My Favorite Winning Eleven Player: Nuno Gomes


What is Winning Eleven? Well, it is simply the best phenomenol football videogame ever. The only people who don't enjoy it are the ones who can't play it well. These people then decide to play Fifa, a reasonably good football videogame, which has much to improve before becoming comparable to Winnign Eleven.
Now,who is Nuno Gomes? Nuno Gomes is an average Portuguese player who spent most of his life playing for Benfica. He has scored more than 150 goals for it and is today the captain of the team and favorite player of the crowd. Those who understand the game must be wondering why is he my favorite player in the game? The answer is simple: because he simply is. His technique is not as good as Cristiano Ronaldo's, his body balance is not the same as Adriano's, and his speed is far away from Kaka. What makes him unique to me is his header and scoring skills. Even though they are not orange or red skills(90-100) like Ronaldo's and Ibrahimovic's, they are pretty good. Nevertheless, eventhough he is an average player I make of him a destroyer and he makes of me a winner. Many victims were made, some from school such as: Nicholas and Lucas Wever, David Zagury, Kevin Yoon, Daniel Couso, ANdre Texeira, Santiago Riveiros,etc. Therefore, he is a regular player but with me he is perfect... Any one wanting to face him just send me a post.... Goood luck!(you will need it)

Olimpic Games in Brazil!



After many centuries, our country is finally looked upon as a magnificent one by the world. In 2014, Brazil will house the most important championship(the FIFA World Cup)of the most popular sport in the world,football . Needless to mention, the Brazilians were filled with joy, for football is a healthy disease in our country. All Brazilians are insane for football, in fact, some some start a good or bad week depending on their team's result during the weekend. Therefore, the Fifa World Cup taking place in Brazil was great news.

Not only will Brazil house the Fifa World Cup, but it will have the honor to house the most watched sporting event in the world, the Olympic Games, in its wonderful city of Rio de Janeiro in 2016. During the Olympic Games 33 sports in diverse categories are played and several athletes participate breaking records and honoring their country. In 2016 Brazil will turn its eyes to Rio de Janeiro and the world will turn its eyes to Brazil.

Through this great sporting events, our culture and history will be shown to the world. Hopefully, other countries will see how Brazil is a great and progressing country despite of what the media shows. By the Fifa World Cup and the Olympic Games, Brazil will reveal its magnificance to the world.

Family Guy Character of the Week: Herbet the Pervert



Herbert the Pervert is one of my favorite characters in the series of Family Guy. Herbert is an old pedofile man who has a voracious attraction to Chris, middle sibling of the Griffins. Various different situations lead Chris to encounter Herbert, be it because he broke the old man's window or in the Family Guy Star Wars episode. Nevertheless, it is comical how everyone is naive and don't seem to realize Herbert is a pedofile pervert even though he shows it in an unbeleivably ridiculous obvious way. Only Meg is able to perceive this detail, but everyone ignores her because she is Meg(a hopeless case). In this video(below) one can easily see what type of person Herbert is. The fans of the series might have noticed that, throughout the seasons Herbert is desperate to find a young boy's company.

His whistling soft voice just makes his character hilarious and unique. I actually enjoy making an impression of Herbert the Pervert. Just the voice of course.

Charlie and the Candy Mountain

http://www.sodahead.com/other/would-you-like-to-share-your-favorite-dream/question-596711/
Charlie and The Candy Mountain is the first of several episodes of the series of adventures of Charlie the unicorn created by TypeQueen. Charlie is a regular unicorn without the "fantasy exaggerated happinness" most unicorns portrait in cartoons and movies. Charlie is simply a common folk who likes to sleep and watch T.V like any regular guy nowadays. However, two other unicorns who share the annoying fantasy habbit to seek adventures, enjoy disturbing Charlie and taking him away form his regular life. When Charlie is pratically forced to go along with them,"things usually go bad..."-Charlie. What I enjoy about the episodes is how Charlie is mixed up in this fairy like land. He is just a regular guy who wants to relax but is never able to do so because of the two other annoying unicorns. What is ironic and hilarious about these unicorns though, is how they seem naive, but are actually pretty evil. When Charlie is coerced to embark on an adventure with them, he loses his kidney and in the next episode loses his T.V. Therefore, both "inocent and sweet" unicorns steal Charlie's kideny and T.V. Another thing I enjoy about the series is how unicorns are portraited as mean and only seem to be sweet and nice. I always knew unicorns were mean and always hated to watch cartoons which envolved them.

Best Film Ever: Wedding Crashers

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu9sGRXybgteeoewpgHNuRcfIH6C4dTrgsjEyzu5vD_5dBkmeXR6bP4AImtBnohgqmIk0_f00mhQeFqt-0jgSs-acKfmTBNvg3BcGAf7PLb6HetHewXkBc_SxefyEkiUZdgyIWXUo-lCU/s1600-h/wedding+crashers.bmp
The best word to define the movie Wedding Crashers would be phenomenol. In fact this word is quite used by Jeremy Gray(Vince Vaugn) throught the movie's plot. The story is basically of two intrepid best friends, John Beckwith and Jeremy Gray(Owen Wilson), a pair of womanizers who constantly crash weddings to take advanatage of the romantic ting in the air and sleep with women. The hilarious thing is that they have an intense training background and a series of rules on which they follow to successfully crash weddings. Their trainings were passed by Chazz Reignolds(Will Ferrell), " a brave and decent man...a pioneer,"Jeremy Gray.

All goes swell until John Beckwith falls in love to Claire Cleary(Rachel McAdams), daughter of the Secretary of Defense, William Cleary(Christopher Walken). Parallel to this Gloria Cleary(Isla Fisher), sister of Clair Cleary, is obessed to Jeremy and invites him and John to spend the weeekend at their house in the island. Obedient to the rules of wedding crashing Jeremy refuses but John agrees to go and with Gloria's insistence they go. There John tries to stay with Clair which is dating an immature man, Zack Lodge(Bradley Cooper), Jeremy tries to stay away from the crazy Gloria and her gay brother Todd Cleary, and Zack tries to find out who they really are since the family seems to like them so much. This whole confusion only makes the film better and for anyone reading this blog I strongely reccommend it for the cast is awesome and the plot is magnificent( I'm not embarrased to say I've watched it more than 10 times).
