Springfield’s biggest moron vs. Quahog’s biggest (and most frequently naked) doofus. Who wins?
The problem, of course, is that Homer, being more “popular” with the public than Peter, has a hell of a “character shield”…he isn’t allowed to lose. This probably wouldn’t even be an issue in anime, but I digress…
Anyway…in a fair fight?
Homer has the advantage of sheer dumb luck…but Peter has ruthlessness and sheer animal cunning on his side.
Homer, in recent years, has been depicted as an overbearing sociopath. Peter, on the other hand, has shown fanatical devotion to his family even when their lives weren’t in danger. For example, his willingness to seduce Luke Perry to keep Meg out of legal trouble; “Hey, I’d be willing to take a bullet for Meg! What makes you think I wouldn’t take a—”
Of course, when it comes to physical combat, they’re pretty evenly matched…Peter has shown extraordinary stamina in a brawl (evidenced by his encounters with giant chickens), whilest Homer has been shown to have congenital resistance (“Homer Simpson Syndrome”) to brain injury.
So, in the end, I’d probably guess that Homer would be the one to win…but that Peter should have been the winner.
Oh…and fifty Quatloos says that the next poster will say something like “Homer, if he’s prepared. Peter, if he has a 1920s style death ray.”
Homer, if he’'s prepar-…
Peter, if he has a 19…
Homer’s my favorite character and all but I’m going to have to give this one to Peter. We know Peter can win fights i.e against giant chicken.
Homer on the other hand, while he can resist hits for awhile sucks on offense. Remember on the boxing episode when he can't hurt the fly, and remeber the fight against Bart's big brother, in which the only reason he lasted so long was because he fought dirty. Also, didn't the doctor say that he gets hit one more time he could cause serious damage (during the episode where he gets shot in the stomach by a bowling ball.)
Plus, we know from Behind the Laughter that the only way he managed to stand all the pain in his stunts was because he was addicted to pain killers.Peter will win, bottom line. He’s fought the giant chicken. He’s shown a willingness to kick ass when required (See: Joe’s Pool, Invasion Of). He’s also ruthless, would Homer Simpson hide secret exploding devices in his children? No, but Peter has. Peter’d rig the right with Crazy Purple Knockout Gas, I say. Homer was a boxer and may be able to take some shots, but he won’t last long.
Homer’s got some moves, but he doesn’t seem to do any damage at all. All his fights end up with both combatants dirty and panting, but no-one seems actually hurt. He couldn’t even take the stringbean George Bush!
Peter has actually killed before, if we can believe the chicken incident. Put can Peter handle pain? He’ll take a blow to the shins and collapse for thirty seconds in a hissing frenzy. But I’m willing to believe that this is an Achilles’ heel, so if Homer doesn’t stumble on the tactic of kicking Peter in the kneecaps the Peter should be the clear winner.
Which is a more powerful country, Peteria or Japan? Peter was founder and president of Peteria. Homer was (briefly) Emporer Clobbersaurus of Japan.
All you have to do is tell Peter that Homer was making the eyes at Lois.
Remember the episode where Peter gets insanely jealous because Lois went to dinner with an old boyfriend? He beat the crap out of everyone.
Homer shys away at the slightest sign of confrontation.
Peter. He’s an evil robot.
That aside, if Lois should decide to get involved it’s all over. Even Zod couldn’t beat Lois.
Too true, but if you give Peter Lois, then you have to give Homer someone. Who do we know who's ruthless, has shot people before, and has incredible strenght when Homer's in trouble, that's right- Maggie.
Lois may be able to fight well, but she's not really ruthless, Maggie- we've seen shoot people etc. to save Homer. Maggie and Homer beat all.Now hang on a minute. Is this gonna be tag team style or a free for all steel cage death match?
Peter would win, hands down. Even more so if Stewie loaned him an Idea or two, or a ray gun or two.
If you give Homer Maggie, you would have to give Peter Stewie.
No contest against Stewie and Maggie. Stewie would win.
Yeah, but Bart would rip Stewie a new one while Stewie was still pontificating. And I don’t even wanna think about who’d win between Marge and Lois. And Maggie’s the wild card from hell.
No, I think this should be between Homer and Peter, period. And let’s not forget the time Homer held off the entire Zombie Springfield, armed only with a shotgun. Homer can dish it out if he has to.
Woah woah woah. This is quickly turning into Griffins vs. Simpsons.
That is not the OP. The OP is Homer vs. Peter.
Besides, Stewie would fall madly in love with Maggie, and begin an ultimately unsucessful courtship involving terrible British poetry and animal crackers.
I think Homer would win, he was a champion boxer, not because he could hit but because he could take a lot of hits!
