How come people like Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin are loved... |

6. But some people in real life are the same way. |

Why are they not revered in the same way?

13. 7 times out of 10, they are obviously magnified caricatures of reality. |

3. i enjoy them for the humor of it |
|
but seriously, i would not want to be with anyone like Peter because emotionally he is too child-like. I want a relationship with a person, i don't want to be their mommy.

He was childlike too... just a different sort of child.

4. Those people, you don't know them for 20-odd minutes a week... |
