John Herbert, nicknamed "Herbert the Pervert", is a fictional
character in the animated television series Family Guy, created and
voiced by Mike Henry. Herbert is a World War II veteran who is an
elderly neighbor of the Griffin family who first appeared in the
season 3 episode "To Love and Die in Dixie". He is attracted to young
boys, and harbors unrequited love for Chris Griffin, though most other
citizens of Quahog are oblivious to his sexuality. Henry describes
Herbert as a homosexual pedophile, although his targets also extend
beyond the clinical criteria.Herbert has received mixed reviews from
critics, who have expressed varying opinions on the pedophilia-related
humor involving the character. Herbert has appeared in various Family
Guy merchandise and has made several crossover appearances in The
Cleveland Show, a Family Guy spin-off.Herbert lives in the fictional
town of Quahog, Rhode Island, which is modeled after Cranston, Rhode
Island. He is an elderly man who dresses in a baby blue bathrobe and
utilizes a walking frame due to his age; his dog Jesse is similarly
elderly and decrepit, being unable to use his hind legs.In his first
appearance, "To Love and Die in Dixie" (season 3, 2001), Herbert
attempts to seduce Chris inside the house by offering him a popsicle
that Herbert insists is in his basement. Despite his pleas, Chris
refuses the offer. In the episode "The Courtship of Stewie's Father"
(season 4, 2005), Chris breaks Herbert's window with a baseball and,
in attempts to pay off the debt, Chris helps Herbert with chores
around his house, much to Herbert's delight. Herbert later invites him
to dinner. When Chris gets a new job in "Movin' Out (Brian's Song)"
(season 6, 2007), his brother Stewie takes over his paper route;
Herbert tries to seduce him but is rebuffed by Stewie, who refers to
him as a "perverted old freak", though this only furthers his lust for
the infant. In the episode "Play It Again, Brian" (season 6, 2008),
Herbert is hired by Peter and Lois to babysit their children Chris,
Stewie and Meg, an offer which excites him so greatly, Herbert erupts
into the song "All I Need is the Girl" (though modified to reflect his
unrequited homosexual affection for Chris). He claims to have no
interest in Meg because of her age and gender, and is disappointed
when she is only of the three to bathe him. Herbert has a grand-niece,
Sandy, whom he helps attract Chris in the style of Cyrano de Bergerac
in the episode "Valentine's Day in Quahog" (season 11, 2013). Herbert (Family Guy) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
