Lord Farquaad's face was modeled after Michael Eisner; the CEO of Disney who fired Jeffrey Katzenberg, which led Katzenberg to find Dreamworks. Katzenberg, along with other Disney employees, have described Eisner as being a tyrant: which is why the makers of Shrek re-imagined him as an evil yet pathetic king.

Also Farquaad's name is a homonym of F***wad.
