Real Life Characters

Think of everything that describes the cartoon cat Garfield. Fat. Orange. Loves pizza. Fat. Lazy. Funny... Fat. Now imagine that there's a cat in real life that embodies most of these qualities and what you get is Orazio, the fattest cat in Italy.

Chewbacca is the true man's best friend. In 'Star Wars,' he always had Han Solo's back, even when they were about to be shot in the head by a bunch of stormtroopers. He's the tough fur ball with a heart of gold, so it's only natural for someone to want to create their own real-life version, which is what happened to this dog.

We've come across too many real-life representations of cartoon characters to count, but this one may be the greatest ever. Prepare yourselves for a man who looks exactly -- and we mean exactly -- like Carl from Disney-Pixar's fantastic film 'Up. '

Has anyone ever told ESPN sportscaster John Clayton that he bears more than a passing resemblance to Stewie from 'Family Guy'? At first, we didn't see much of a similarity. But upon closer inspection, we're starting to believe that Clayton may be Stewie's real-life counterpart. Not that we want to invite comparisons between a matricidal one-year-old and a respected reporter like Clayton, but, dang

If you're looking for the real-life counterpart of the character Bruce from 'Family Guy,' you can't do better than actor Jon Gries, who's pictured here as Uncle Rico from the indie flick 'Napoleon Dynamite.' Eerily similar!

Since he walks, talks and is generally more rational than any other character on the show, it's easy to forget that Brian from 'Family Guy' is a family pet. But as this side-by-side comparison of Brian and a real-life pooch reminds us, he is, in fact, just a dog. This living, breathing pooch has Brian's white fur and black nose, and although he doesn't completely mirror the character's look, we th

We've logged countless hours and spent tons of money playing Pac-Man as a kid. But here's something we never thought we'd see -- a real-life representation of the pellet-gobbler's skull created by artist Gentil Garcon and paleontologist Francois Escuilie. Creepy!

'South Park' has been making us laugh with its signature brand of no-holds-barred parody since 1997. (Or since 1995, if you count the notorious 'Spirit of Christmas' shorts that took the internet by storm before the Comedy Central show launched.) Because everybody's favorite animated nine-year olds have been around for so long, it's almost like they've become real life characters. They're not of c

Peter Griffin from 'Family Guy' is one of America's most-liked dads on TV, rivaling Homer Simpson himself. It crushes fans to know that the man who's willing to chug ipecac to claim the last slice of pie and trip Meg down a flight of stairs is not a real guy. Well, they're wrong.

Real life dimwitted duos are often compared to Beavis and Butt-Head, but we've never seen a human twosome that really looks like the animated idiots. Until now.
