Brian Griffin is one of the main characters from the Family Guy series.
== Charactah Account ==
The Griffin Family's talking pet dog. He is a sophisticated and cultured, but cynical and world-weary beagle, who serves as the voice of reason to the family, ironically managing to be the most "human" of all of them. In later seasons, Brian developed into a more pretentious and self-absorbed narcissist.
Brian has a particularly sharp wit and on several occasions, Brian has had to explain Peter's inability to do various things, such as haggling over prices.
Brian has a cultured background; he loves opera and jazz, and is a fan of John Coltrane. Brian speaks fluent French and Tagalog, and is competent in Spanish. He is also a member of MENSA. He loves to sing and can imitate a barbershop quartet without accompaniment.

== Trivia ==
* Brian is the only character for which Seth MacFarlane uses his natural speaking voice, as opposed to the voice changes for other characters such as Peter Griffin, Glenn Quagmire, and Stewie Griffin.
* In "Brian: Portrait of a Dog", it's revealed that Brian became a Griffin during his adulthood, when Peter offered him a home with his family in Quahog, but in "The Man with Two Brians", Brian shows the family videos of him as a puppy, already living in the Griffin's house. "Short Cuts" returns to his story of being adopted, but adds that he left his friend Shredder behind at a park where they lived.
** In revenge for being left behind, Shredder tries to trick Brian into getting neutered and succeeds in costing him one of his testicles. However, in "Blind Ambition", Brian was already neutered and forced to wear a cone to keep from chewing his stitches out.
* He drives a silver 2004 Toyota Prius. The license plate reads "BRI-D0G" and it has a 'Kucinich 04' bumper sticker.
* Brian was the first Family Guy character to appear in an episode American Dad!. He appears in "The People vs. Martin Sugar", where Stan names his top ten fictional dogs, and Brian is named number one. He is seen drinking a martini on the courthouse steps, and claims Stan does not exist. Stan berates him for the claim.
* The DVD commentary for "Brian Griffin's House of Payne" explains that the "H" in "H. Brian Griffin" does not stand for anything and was a way to express Brian as a pretentious douche.
* Brian reveals in "Brian & Stewie" that he voted for John McCain.
* Brian's catchphrase is "Whose leg do I have to hump to get a martini around here?" which originated in "I Never Met the Dead Man". This was varied three times later in the series in regards to different things.
** O'Brian the sheep first uses a variation for a pint of Guinness in "Peter's Two Dads".
** New Brian for a hug in "The Man with Two Brians".
** Vinny for an Amaretto Disaronno in "Christmas Guy", though he replaces "hump" with "gagoosh".
* Following his death in "Life of Brian", Brian is not even mentioned in "In Harmony's Way". He also does not appear in "Candy Quahog Marshmallow!".
* It is revealed in "The D in Apartment 23", that Brian's Twitter account name is "@d0gbackwards", which is an actual account assigned to Brian since October of 2016.
