4. Herbert is the only old person within the comedy
show Family Guy, and the way they portray
him/elderly people is in a comical fashion. He is
portrayed as a paedophile, and constantly tries
to seduce Chris (especially whilst on his paper
round), or other young boys in the estate. He
also is very disrespectful/abusive when he does
not get his own way.
Herbert is a user of a Zimmer frame, and is
constantly at his home, in his dressing gown –
very stereotypical of elderly people.
