Question: do the adults understand stewie on family guy

title: Stewie Griffin
text: There is much debate over which characters in Family Guy can understand Stewie . In an interview , MacFarlane said that everyone can basically understand him , but they ignore him or just think to themselves `` oh how cute '' when he talks . However at a recent ComicCon panel ( 2011 ) , he compares this to Wile E. Coyote in the old Merrie Melodies cartoons . MacFarlane went on to say that Brian always hears Stewie , and more recently so does Chris , but the writers usually strive for Peter , Lois , and Meg not to hear him . Once Stewie leaves the house , the question of who can understand him depends very much on the story . MacFarlane also states that these rules can be broken for the sake of comedy , so this could change from one episode to another . In Inside Family Guy , Peter apologizes to the family , to which Stewie comments : `` Oh that 's nice of you to say '' . Peter replies : `` Thank you , Stewie , who I can understand . '' referring to the ongoing discussion whether or not other family members , than Brian , are able to understand him . However , Peter 's response seems to be a part of the episodes offset setting , where everyone is out of character . 

Answer: answer: In an interview , MacFarlane said that everyone can basically understand him , but they ignore him or just think to themselves `` oh how cute '' when he talks . Once Stewie leaves the house , the question of who can understand him depends very much on the story .
