  7. Joe • “Tough guy” in the show • Ironic because he has a disability

  8. Cleveland • African American counterpart to Peter’s family • Shows how much the families are the same even though they have a different culture

  9. Quagmire • “Player” in the show • Ironic because throughout the series you find out that he has feelings

  10. Meg • “Not attractive” daughter in the show • Ironic because her voice is Mila Kunis • Goes on a lot of dates even though she is considered “not attractive” and “annoying” by everyone in the show

  11. Ethos, Pathos, Logos • The characters Brian and Lois use ethos • “This can involve "moral competence" only; Aristotle however broadens the concept to include expertise and knowledge.” [Wikipedia] • Brian and Lois have the most credibility because they are the most knowledgable

  12. Ethos, Pathos, Logos • “Pathos represents an appeal to the audience's emotions” [Wikipedia] • The show appeals to pathos by placing current events and past events into the shows to have people respond with an emotional appeal.

  13. Ethos, Pathos, Logos • “The use of logos is called a "logical appeal.“” [Dr. Williams, USC] • There are not many logical appeals throughout the show • Occasionally characters come to a conclusion at the end of an episode that everyone already knew
