Chris - like his father - is obese and ignorant;
however in the episode "Fast Times at Buddy
Cianci, Jr. High", Brian refers to Chris's
class as intelligent before going to teach remedial
English. Also, various storylines give him savant
talents, such as artistic ability, and detailed
knowledge of film and TV actors. Occasionally he
exhibits unexpected, uncharacteristic insights,
such as when he gives Peter and Lois a detailed
and articulate lecture on the effects and disadvantages
of marijuana.
Chris is usually depicted as naive to the point
of blamelessness. However, when Peter and Lois
were having a fist fight, Chris cheered for Peter,
telling him to "kick her ass!" Also,
in Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, when Lois
and Peter are trying to make out, the children
mistake it for a fight and Chris says "I don't
know what they're fighting about, but I think Dad's
winning. Go Dad!"
In a running gag, Chris is regularly tormented
by an evil monkey who lives in his closet but has
recently slowed down a bit.
In "Emission Impossible", it is revealed
that Chris was born as an accident, due to a broken
condom. As a result, Peter and Lois filed a lawsuit
against the company and bought the house they currently
live in. In "Peter's Daughter", Lois
revealed that she smoked and drank a lot when she
was pregnant with Chris to try and incite a miscarriage,
but chickened out halfway through the pregnancy.
This may be the explanation for Chris' stupidity
and other anomalies.
Despite being better treated than Meg, Chris is
usually more subjected to Peter's thoughtlessness,
since Peter frequently neglects Chris in favor
of other children or himself, and often accuses
Chris of being "needy." Unlike Peter,
Chris also doesn't seem to dislike Meg as much,
merely having a rather extreme sibling-rivalry
relationship.
Chris is generally mild-mannered and friendly,
but is often rude to others when angered, such
as in "Long John Peter", when he both
insulted Joe Swanson for his handicapped status,
and hit Brian with a chair just to go back to the
vet and see a girl who broke up with him. Another
example was in "Movin' Out (Brian's Song)",
when Brian just came back after being dumped by
Jillian, and for no reason, Chris said, "Welcome
home, asshole!" (in the Fox and syndicated
airings, he says "Welcome back, douchebag!").
In the Season 3 episode "When You Wish Upon
a Weinstein", Chris almost converted to Judaism
after Peter told him that Jews are smarter and
more successful. Lois came to Chris's bar mitzvah
to end the conversion, and a crowd of angry Jews
chased after them.
