    I think it probably is, but I had to google both of them to know what you're on about.

        You're welcome. I appreciate the diversion as I'm just killing time until the taxi arrives to whisk me away home...

          Better than Nick Griffin at any rate.

              Personality
              Peter is consistently depicted as crude and lowbrow. He enjoys activities such as going to up-market tailors and farting inside the suits. His favorite pastime is watching TV. A running gag on the show is Peter's preference for Pauly Shore movies over classic films such as The Godfather and Citizen Kane. He is also a huge Kiss fan and followed them during the KissStock shows and even got a copy of Kiss Saves Santa for Christmas. An I.Q. test confirms he is mentally retarded, which is referred to (albeit infrequently) in subsequent episodes.


              [edit] Health
              Peter is overweight, a heavy drinker, and accident-prone, and retarded. Yet in cartoon fashion, Peter is shown recovering quickly from serious injuries, and in some episodes displays enormous strength, such as when singlehandedly challenging a professional football team in "Patriot Games".
              Red is married to Kitty Forman (born Sigurdson) (Debra Jo Rupp). He is a tough, no-nonsense father and tends to favor his daughter Laurie (Lisa Robin Kelly & Christina Moore) over his son Eric (Topher Grace), whom he considers soft, skinny, twitchy, and wimpy. He always sees Laurie as "Daddy's Little Girl" instead of the mean-spirited, promiscuous person she truly is, but becomes wiser to her in the second season after finding out she lied to him about moving in with a friend when she was really living with a young man.

              Red degrades his son Eric by calling him (and his friends) a "dumbass", among other names

              Red's hobbies include working with his power tools, drinking beer, watching television.

              Red has very specific ideas about what men can and cannot do, believing that they should keep their emotions bottled up and be skilled at physical sports like hunting and football. He does not think they should hug or express "love" for each other; he once warned Eric that if Eric told him he loved him, Red's heart would explode. He also has a hard time expressing his own emotions except when he is angry:
              Pretty much a combination of them is my goal.
