EspañolGLENN QUAGMIRE
(Redirected from Glen Quagmire)
'Glenn Quagmire' (sometimes spelled 'Glen') is a character on the animated series, ''Family Guy'', best known for his sexual deviancy. An airline pilot, Quagmire is a neighbor of the Griffins.[1] He is voiced by the show's creator and lead writer, Seth MacFarlane.
MacFarlane describes Quagmire as "An appalling human being who is still caught in the rat-pack era" based on anachronistic 1950s party animal clichés. His neighbor and best friend Peter Griffin describes him as a "heartless sex hound".
Quagmire has short black hair, parted in the middle with lightly tanned skin; he is of average height and somewhat slight build. His Richard Nixon-like facial characteristics include an enormous jaw and chin, with exposed teeth, and a long nose.
He is usually seen wearing a red Hawaiian shirt with yellow flowers, a pair of blue jeans, brown loafers and, when undressed, a leopard skin thong. He has also appeared in a light blue flamboyant tuxedo and red bow tie.
Quagmire's home follows the same retro theme, decked out in a style reminiscent of the swinging party set of the sixties and seventies. It has been shown in the episode "The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire" that nearly every part of the house has a discreetly hidden bed.
His catchphrases include ''Giggity giggity goo'' (and variations thereof, excitedly), and ''Alll riiight'' (slyly), both usually indicating perceived sexual situations or opportunities; these exclamations are often accompanied by a trademark head bob. His earliest catchphrase, ''Oh!'' (in arrogant triumph, cf. Andrew Dice Clay), is usually delivered with a pelvic thrust.
Nielsen Mobile reports a ring tone of ''Giggity'', followed by ''alll riiight...'' was the third most downloaded tone for the week ending 2007-02-07.[2]
Many of the storylines and most of the jokes about Quagmire feature his deviant and wanton sexual behavior.[3] A few gags even suggest that he is a registered sex offender.[4] In various scenes, Quagmire seems willing to engage in rape, underage sex, bestiality, or necrophilia. [5] In more than one episode he is shown on the verge of engaging in sexual activity with his mother.[6]
Despite this, Quagmire espouses traditional, even conservative male sex roles. He opposes homosexuality, refusing for example to sign a petition for gay marriage.[7] This sets up several homophobia gags and confusing run-ins with transsexuals, such as when he is horrified to find out that Taylor Hanson, whom Quagmire had found lust-worthy, is in fact a man.
When one of his partners waking up in bed beside him casually asks Quagmire his occupation, he cheerfully responds "Hey, I've got a question for you too: why are you still here?" On a ''Family Guy'' DVD featurette, MacFarlane says that he believes this to be Quagmire's "defining moment".
In "I Take Thee Quagmire", Quagmire actually falls in love and marries; the marriage does not outlast the episode. In an alternative timeline in "Meet the Quagmires", Quagmire is also shown married to Lois Griffin, toward whom he has in several episodes demonstrated an attraction.
The word ''quagmire'' refers to both a soft soil that yields easily (such as quicksand) and a situation that is difficult to get out of. The title of a ''Family Guy'' episode from , dealing with infidelity, plays on the second meaning ("The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire").
In the episodes "Love Thy Trophy" and "I Never Met the Dead Man", Quagmire is referred to as a pilot in dialogue, while "The Thin White Line" shows him in a pilot's uniform at the airport. It wasn't until "Airport '07" that viewers for the first time see him doing his job as a 767 Captain for TransNational Airlines. In "Death Lives" when Peter has flash backs, it was also revealed that Quagmire was an Ensign in the United States Navy.
