Pretty much every episode, involving religion or people going to church. |
Father Bob is the priest of the Holy Christ Church. He has made occasional appearances in the show, really whenever The Griffins go to church, or something about religion is involved. He is voiced by Phil LaMarr.
Appearance
Father Bob is a Caucasian adult male with brown hair, who has devoted his life to being a priest. He wears a black priest cloak and a collar and a white priest scarf with yellow crosses on it. He also has light brown pants and brown shoes. He also has square glasses and a butt-shaped chin cleft, much like Peter Griffin.
Personality
Father Bob has no real personality other than being a strawman theist. He believes in God, and when his faith is questioned, he makes fallacious, ad hominem arguments that demonstrate the hollowness of his idealism. He is apathetic in most situations, unless he's convinced of the onset of a deistic apocalypse, such as signs of the rapture or the alleged birth of The Anti-Christ. The only priest stereotype he doesn't conform to is the pedophilia one and he's expressed his annoyance and anger for those kinds of jokes and rumors on a number of occasions. He does, however, have rare instances of sexual arousal for adult women his age, despite being celibate. In "Partial Terms of Endearment", he got an erection from hearing about Lois' lesbian encounter with Naomi, in "And I'm Joyce Kinney", he admitted to being sexually invigorated, after watching Lois' porno, and in "Valentine's Day in Quahog", he and a nun had a secret relationship, and even had sex in her room. As someone who is as dedicated to his religion as he is, Father Bob has exhibited shameless bigotry, homophobia, sexism, and even racism, as these are the things his religion prompts him to do.
