| ~ Karen forcing Peter Griffin to smell her fart. |
Karen Griffin is a minor antagonist of the Family Guy franchise. She is Peter Griffin's abusive sister and a wrestler who performs under the name of "Heavy Flo".
She was voiced by Kate McKinnon, who also played Kellyanne Conway in Saturday Night Live, Régine Le Haut in Leap! (originally released under the title Ballerina) and Lulu in DC League of Super-Pets in the American release.
Biography[]
When Karen drops in to visit for Thanksgiving, her niece Meg Griffin discovers that she treats Peter the same way that he treats her. Although amused at first, she realizes that Karen takes things too far and decides to work with Peter to even the odds. She even realized that Karen's abusive treatment is the true reason why Peter has been abusing her (due to Meg's resemblances with Karen), to which Peter sadly confirms. In other words, Karen is somewhat responsible for her brother being the man he is today.
Peter eventually stands to Karen during a wrestling match, which Meg helps out by smashing a chair onto Karen's head, putting her into a coma. Peter thanks Meg for her help, even apologizing for his treatment towards her, and they both hug each other in forgiveness.
It was later told that Karen is in a hospital still in the coma thanks to Meg's beating (as the chair Meg used to hit Karen wasn't a prop but a real one), but neither Peter nor Meg cared about this as they believe that she got what she deserved. Peter even refuses to check if he's the same blood type for a transfusion. It's likely that Karen died, as Peter told Lois the doctors said there's nothing they can do.
Trivia[]
- In some ways, Karen Griffin is the reason why her brother Peter Griffin is such an abusive scumbag most of the time and for the horrible way he behaves with his daughter Meg. Additionally, Peter's heavily abusive stepfather, Francis Griffin, has likely added to this trait.
- Despite this, however, Karen is considered one of the most controversial characters of the show by the fans, as no episodes prior to "Peter's Sister" (and even following ones) ever hinted that Peter had any siblings, often depicting him as an only child back in his childhood, with most assuming that Karen was just created to give Peter a pathetic excuse behind his abuse towards Meg. However, it's also possible that Peter was too traumatized by Karen's abuse that he wanted to forget she existed.
