Homer Simpson versus Peter Griffin--to the DEATH!

[Skald the Rhymer]

Or maybe to the pain. That's up to you.

A brief setup: Eddies in the space-time continuum propel Peter out the Drunken Clam and into Moe's, just as he is about to get into yet another epic monomachy with the Giant Chicken. This time Peter was determined to get in the first shot, but the punch he was aiming at his arch-nemesis lands on Lenny, knocking him onto a broken stool and killing him . Carl, naturally, immediately dies of grief; Moe, seeing half of his clientele perish, dies of shock; and Barney is already passed out on the pool table. Sick with rage, Homer immediately charges at Peter.

Who'd win? (And show your work.)

[mobo85]

Given the intelligence level of both competitors and Peter's long-standing rivalry with the Giant Chicken, it is probably likely that Peter would have no idea that he was in another place, especially seeing as Homer has skin of a yellow color similar to that of the Giant Chicken's. This combination of rage and ignorance leads me to believe that Peter would continue to believe he was fighting the Giant Chicken and thus continue to fight with the rage and power that his usual skirmishes with the mascot involve. As Homer is about as intelligent as Peter is and can also fight back if provoked, such a battle would most likely result in the serious injury and/or death of both combatants.

If Stewie were to be transported along with Peter, or if Bart were to for some reason walk in and realize his father was in danger, the battle would most likely occur in a different fashion with victory given to the side with the extra member- but the involvement of both Bart and Stewie would also lead to a draw, given the equal number of combatants on both sides. Whether or not one or both of the combatants were intoxicated, as they often are, may also give one or the other drunken strength, but the outcome would still be the same. As Peter himself might put it, this reminds me of that time I accidentially hacked into NORAD and found out the only winning move is not to play.

[Intergalactic Gladiator]

Homer wins, no contest. If all those hobo boxers can't KO him, what chance does his knuckleheaded knock-off have of knocking him out?

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

Peter is obviously physically stronger, & more than a tad more frenzied.

Also, younger, I suspect.

Peter takes Homer.

[Chopper9760]

Homer wins.

Okay, there's a good chance Homer loses because when faced with hardship he usually utters his trademark scream and flees.

However, my utter loathing for Family Guy forces me to back Homer. He'd choke Peter Griffin's bitch ass and bury the body in a shallow, ineffectual grave in Flanders' yard.

[whole bean]

Homer's a former pro-boxer. He wins, but only after Peter dies of a heart attack.

[Kal]

In normal fight, I'd probably go with Simpson. In a fight to the death, Griffin.

Simpson's handy with his fists, but Griffin's pretty much a mass murderer.

[Drain Bead]

Peter also has Death on his side.

[Moriarty]

Homer's ability to withstand pain is astonishing, so, while it might appear that he is losing, he is actually just wearing down Peter in a prolonged rope-a-dope until Barney sobers up enough to hit Peter over the head with the pool cue lying next to him.

Home field advantage wins.

Here's the video evidence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mACETm_oiM).

[kaylasdad99]

I really think Homer would be more inclined to notice that the beer taps were unattended than that his cronies were croaked. So he'd be on his back behind the bar, with his mouth directly beneath a stream of Duff.

And once nobody is hassling Peter, he'd belly up and ask for a Pawtucket Patriot. But I'm pretty sure he'd settle for a Duff.

So, no fight.

[Garula]

Hard to guess, since Peter's physical ability, intelligence, personality and everything else will depend on what sort of gag the writers want to make at that moment.

[Kamino Neko]

Peter is obviously physically stronger, & more than a tad more frenzied.

Also, younger, I suspect.

Nope, 4 years older, as both of their ages have been mentioned in the shows. Homer is, perpetually, 39. Peter is 43, as stated by Lois in one episode.

(Of course, if claims that they conceived Bart right out of high school are taken as true, that makes Homer closer to 29. An age highly unlikely for someone with a 16 year old daughter, like Peter.)

[thelurkinghorror]

Homer is pretty strong, Peter has retard strength. Homer can survive direct hits to the head, Peter can probably survive with half his brain missing. Peter wins.

[nivlac]

It's Peter by a fart.

[The Second Stone]

I'd root for Homer cuz I cannot stand Peter. But I suspect that Peter's superior mass would take the day.

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

You're assuming Homer wasn't held back in school a few times.

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

BTW--Peter has a strong claim to being a mean drunk.

In any bar fight, this counts.

[aldiboronti]

Peter Griffin would shrivel up in shame on being faced with the awesomeness of his great original. Homer would simply blow the dry husk away and turn back to the bar.

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

Homer never succeeded at anything in his life.

Peter succeeds, but tosses away his success.

Peter wins.

[Intergalactic Gladiator]

Nope.

Homer never succeeded at anything in his life.

Peter succeeds, but tosses away his success.

Peter wins.

What the hell do you mean Homer never succeeded at anything? He was an astronaut and he won a grammy as well as the 1st Annual Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.

[mobo85]

What the hell do you mean Homer never succeeded at anything? He was an astronaut and he won a grammy as well as the 1st Annual Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.

He was only chosen to be an astronaut because NASA was losing in the Nielsens to the likes of A Connie Chung Christmas, the Monty Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence was a sham to cover the fact that his years of working at the power plant made him sterile, and the Grammy barely counts as an award at all. The only true awards he won- at his high school reunion in such prestigious categories as Most Weight Gained, Most Improved Odor, and Most Hair Lost- also had to be taken away due to the fact that he never completed Remedial Science. There's a reason Homer's in the dictionary under "to succeed despite idiocy"- all his life he's pulled a Homer and gotten to where he is by pure dumb luck, as the late Frank Grimes would tell you. And this is what makes him and Peter Griffin like two morbidly obese peas in a pod.

[garygnu]

Peter has actually killed people. Has Homer ever killed anyone? I don't count Maude Flanders.

[mobo85]

Does that loafter he tackled at work (who, unbeknownst to him, was actually James Bont) count?

[Two Many Cats]

Peter has actually killed people. Has Homer ever killed anyone? I don't count Maude Flanders.

Zombie Flanders. And it should count because he didn't know Ned was a zombie.

[42fish]

Peter has actually killed people. Has Homer ever killed anyone? I don't count Maude Flanders.

Does Fred Grimes (or 'Grimey' as he like to be called) count?

[Biggirl]

The fight is happening at Moe's where Homer knows where the pickled eggs are. Homer could use these eggs to poison Peter. Homer would whip out the eggs from behind the counter and smash them in Peter's maw.

No, wait. Homer would whip out the eggs, think about smashing Peter for one second and then eat the eggs himself. The fight would be a draw if, and only if, Homer dies before he eats all the eggs and there remains enough to entice and poison Peter.

The only good thing to come of this whole fiasco is when Lisa and Meg meet at the funerals and become lifetime life partners.

[Taber]

Homer's a former pro boxer, as has been mentioned, and buffs up pretty well in several episodes, which shows he at least has some base level of muscle under the fat.

Peter is nearly power scooter fat. Homer wins.

[Skald the Rhymer]

I really think Homer would be more inclined to notice that the beer taps were unattended than that his cronies were croaked.

No, that's Peter. Homer, despite his stupidity, has actual human feelings and is not invariably evil. He's gone out of his way to help Moe, Barney, and Flanders on multiple occasions. Peter, by contrast, ultimately loves only himself. Homer would kill people for even THINKING of doing to Marge the things Peter has actually done to Lois.

ETA: I wonder if Homer's greater humanity would be an impediment or a strength in this epic duel?

[ITR champion]

Homer Simpson versus Peter Griffin--to the DEATH!
How could anyone tell the difference?

[Skald the Rhymer]

How could anyone tell the difference?

Homer's a dreamy nitwit who actually loves his family.

Peter's pure, unblinking, kitten-barbecuing evil.

[A Monkey With a Gun]

Homer would go all Bruce Lee on Peter's ass. The fat yellow bastard has mad martial arts skills.

[Magiver]

Peter as balls for a chin so I think the first time Homer hits him it's he's going down. Plus Homer has been carrying around that inanimate carbon rod looking for a head to bust.

[Lochdale]

Homer's damage soak is much higher. He had an actual bridge close on his head and had a truck drive over him with no ill effects.

Homer for the win.

[jackdavinci]

Peter has better brawling skills but Homer is super at choking. I think Peter's neck is probably too fat though. Peter wins.

[Lethal Babydoll]

every real fight i've ever been in (i used to drink too much and get angry) quickly became a wrestling match that ended with me choking the other guy until he gave in or we were pulled apart (learn to choke, never lose a fight).

homer would never choke anyone to death. Peter would in a heartbeat. he's much meaner than homer. a whole lot meaner.
