What Makes Him a Scrappy?[]
- While he is absolutely meant to be hated, his character ended up being hated for the wrong reasons. Family Guy ended up being criticized for not doing their research on how abusive relationships work, since abusers tend to act only behind closed doors while putting on a nice façade in front of other people. Jeffery’s character received criticism for being portrayed as a loud, dimwitted and abusive brute who assaults Brenda blatantly in front of other people, which many viewers considered a poor portrayal of abusive relationships.
- The reason why this received criticism is that the episode tries to treat him as a serious villain, as an exception to its usual tone, rather than playing his actions for laughs, which means that his abuse coming off as cartoonishly unrealistic wasn’t intentional.
- Some moments such as beating Brenda for switching the TV from The Tonight Show to The Late Show are in particular criticized for being over-the-top.
- Another criticism he receives is that he is a flat and boring character with no other traits then being a misogynistic and xenophobic abuser who never appears or gets mentioned again.
- His defeat also received some criticisms, since some people thought having the abuser killed alone instead of being arrested wasn’t a good ending, since in real life you can’t end an abusive relationship by getting rid of the abuser then not helping the victim to recover.
