Why does nobody like meg griffan?

Answer 1

Meg is not disliked, just misunderstood and emotionally neglected as the seasons progress.

Meg is said to be "disliked" because she is the only seemingly normal character on Family Guy besides Cleveland, Neil (Meg's admirer) and Connie D'Mico, who is the school's popular teenager.

Meg is unpopular, dorky looking, and raging with complaints that no one likes her. Aside of that, her family is made up of very abnormal people, including Lois. Here's a short summary of the Griffin family:

Peter: A lovably clumsy, mentally unstable "idiot" who is the Family Guy. He attempts the impossible and never thinks things trough until it is too late - yet manages a nice home, jobs, a lovely, attractive wife, three children, and a dog.

Lois: A formerly rich woman who fell in love with an oaf for being the way he is. No one really knows why she fell for Peter, other than that Peter is just himself around her. Lois isn't so much an oaf as she is bored housemother stuck with Peter and his shenanigans, but she has her small moments that aren't too severe.

Chris: Taking after his father, Peter, he acts just like him... and a bit like Lois when it comes to really serious matters. In the episode where Peter and Lois want to enter a talent show, Chris explains clearly and intelligently that marijuana is a high hazard, whereas in another episode, during a flashback scene, Chris opens a Christmas present from Brian (the dog) to find a dead cat near decay. He pets it and calls the cat "sticky head", kisses it, then hugs the cat saying "I love you, Sticky Head".

Stewie: Aiming for world domination, this one year old has a secret weapon stronghold in his nursery room. His number one goal in his infantile life is to kill his mother Lois, for whatever reason it may be, perhaps being an obstruction to his plans, being the superiour in his life. Point being: Stewie - a one year old, has the intellect of a politician, and is only understood fully by Brian and is understood to everyone else as a one year old child.

Brian: One of only three dogs on the show that can speak and stand upright and live like a normal human being. Brian has dated only humans in the show not counting the Peuterschmidt's racing dog, Sea Breeze. He and Stewie communicate more often than Stewie communicates with anyone else. The other two dog's that can talk in this show are Jasper, Brian's gay cousin, and New Brian, the younger more lively dog that Peter brings home because Brian is getting older.

So you see, Meg is really the only normal member of the Griffin family, most of the time. Rarely will she ever do anything bizarrely out of the ordinary.

Most think Meg is hated by most of the characters on Family Guy because of these situations:

When Joe Swanson (the handicapped neighbour) is chasing after Lois who committed a crime in the sewers where she and the Griffin's escaped to, Joe is found hanging off an edge. Lois tries to help him up, but can't seem to pull him up. "Lois! Pretend I'm your child!" says Joe, then Lois slowly loosens her grip, as if to let him fall. "Not Meg, Not Meg!" says Joe, then Lois decides to pull Joe up from the edge.

The Family Guy Star Wars Special: Meg's only scene was about 2 to 3 seconds long, as a worm rising from mucky, gross looking waters with one eye, her hat on and hair style, making a noise and disappearing back into the water.

Point being: Meg is just the outcast of the show, because she is not as bizarre as the other characters seem to be. Brian would be suspected to like Meg, though he is bizarre, he is very civilized and very smart. Meg is under 18, and Brian is 7 (in dog years), so mathematically, Brian would not take interest in Meg, seeing as they rarely spend time together anyway. I hope this helps.

Not to mention when Peter shows a montage of him abusing meg. He punches her, trips her, shoots her, and wipes boogers on her. But not everyone hates meg, like when peter almost says he loves her. Peter also spends a whole episode on Meg just trying to get her to fill Chris's Role. So Meg isn't entirely hated, just misunderstood.

Answer 2

It's a running joke. At the beginning she was liked but then as the show progressed she's become less liked. I think its kind of like a play on the Jan Brady middle child thing where the middle child never feels special and is always struggling to fit in and have a place. Except since it's a comedic cartoon they make that middle child fear into a reality. But like I said in the early days of the show they liked her like any daughter/sister.

Answer 3

cuz shes fat, ugly, and... nobody likes her

wooho that's intelligent and well thought out. NOT! How blooming lazy are you? Anyhow I've been looking and there are whole forums discussing it, and lots of people stick up for her. I've often wondered if it's someone Seth knows and hates like a woman who rejected him or an older sister who ridiculed him. Makes you wonder. I know it's a running joke etc. but it's stale and boring now, and I far enjoy it as she's more intelligent. It's little mean things like her having disfigured breasts a reference to an inny and an outie. It's just cruel and pointless and not funny. Also when they kill kids and things that's just not funny when Peter falls on two children squashes them in a bloody mess and then is sick. Stupid and makes me not enjoy a funny and well written cartoon. Also when Stewie is dying and he's abused. I know it's supposed to be near the knuckle and it's trendy to put people down, but some of it is so good and is spoilt by violence to children which in any context violence to a child is NEVER funny by an adult. Never. I love Python, Ben Stiller, Stand ups such as Jack Dee, Robin Williams, Bill Bailey. All comedy so I can take the cringe fest with the best of them but Seth listen to your fans. It's strange because even in South Park when Kenny dies, it's done in a way that isn't as offensive as the hatred of Meg, etc. maybe because it's almost done with a tenderness and of course he's always okay and around of the next episode.
