Family Guy (2010) - Brian And Stewart of Its' Extended Cut

Brian and Stewie become trapped in a bank vault.
==Plot==
Brian and Stewie visit the local Quahog bank so that Brian can deposit money in his safe deposit box. Stewie then wants to go to a store to return a $3,000 Thom Browne sweater. While they are still inside the vault, the door closes at the end of the work day and locks them inside. Frightened, Stewie soils his diaper. Worried he will get a rash from the dirty diaper, Stewie desperately tries to make Brian eat his feces by threatening him with a gun that Brian had stored in his deposit box. They discover that Stewie has a cellphone in his pocket, with only enough charge in the battery for one short phone call. Stewie uses the last of the phone's battery charge to call the clothing store rather than for help. Enraged, Brian hits Stewie, breaks his phone, and yells at him, making him cry. Instantly remorseful, Brian reluctantly agrees to eat Stewie's feces as a way of apologizing. While watching Brian eating, Stewie becomes nauseated and throws up; Stewie then convinces Brian to eat his vomit. Realizing that he has nothing to clean his bottom with, Stewie manages to convince Brian to clean him with his tongue in order to avoid infection, much to Stewie's pleasure, though willingly, Brian then braces himself and licks his butt. Afterward, they both decide to take a nap, but soon they realize that the next day is Sunday, meaning that they will have to wait another day before they can be released from the vault. Awaking from his nap, Brian decides to drink a bottle of scotch that he had stored in his deposit box. He offers Stewie a sip, and they both become so drunk that Brian agrees to pierce Stewie's ear with a pin from his sweater, leaving him with a bloodied ear. While talking, Brian revealed he voted for John McCain. Stewie and Brian discuss The Dog Whisperer and Cesar Millan, and Brian explains that he is inspired by Millan's philosophy about dogs' instinctive ability to live in the present and with purpose. Stewie, however, points out that Brian himself does not appear to live with any specific purpose. Angered, Brian begins insulting Stewie, who bitterly retaliates by revealing that he could have gone all day without having his diaper changed, and only thinks of Brian as a passing amusement and "the best of a bad situation". Stewie dares Brian to shoot him with the revolver in the deposit box. Stewie prematurely causes the gun to discharge, causing the bullet to randomly ricochet off the vault walls, forcing the two under the table to wait for the bullet to stop. After sobering up and eating energy bars that were in Stewie's bag, Stewie asks Brian why he has a gun, noting that Brian is a staunch gun control proponent and seems to be the last person who would ever own a firearm, even mentioning how Brian cried after the Columbine shooting. Brian refuses to talk about it at first, but eventually admits that he has the gun in case he ever wants to commit suicide (though he claims they're only there so he can shore up his Christmas savings). He confesses that due to his anthropomorphism, he cannot find his purpose in life like other dogs, and finds comfort in knowing he has the option of killing himself. He admits that the scotch was to be a last drink. Though visibly shocked by the revelation, Stewie snaps at Brian, saying that he would be lost without Brian, claiming he is the only person in the world that he really cares about; he admits that his earlier ascertation that he didn't care about Brian was mostly out of retaliation for Brian's insults and both admit that they care for each other as friends. Stewie adds that maybe making someone else happy is enough, because it is the best gift one person can give. Stewie falls asleep as Brian reads the beginning of David Copperfield to him. The following morning, the vault door opens, and Brian carries a sleeping Stewie and their belongings out of the room in silence.

==="Brian & Stewie" contains examples of...===
*Absentee Actor: Aside from the title characters, none of the main cast appears at all. There's a reason it's titled "Brian & Stewie". Chris, Meg, and Lois are at least mentioned, but surprisingly enough Peter is never mentioned or alluded to once the whole time Brian and Stewie are in the vault.
*Armor-Piercing Question: After sobering up the next day, Stewie asks a question that makes Brian open up about his the contents of his safety deposit box. Stewie: How come you have a gun?
*Borrowed Catchphrase: At one point, Stewie says "Giggity".
*Bottle Episode: The entirety of the episode takes place in the bank vault, Brian and Stewie are the only characters, and there isn't a single Cutaway Gag.
*Bowdlerization: On the TV version, Brian licking Stewie's butt and references to it had to be edited (and, like most other Family Guy episodes, the uncut version — with the original lines and unbleeped swearing — can be found on DVD).
*Bring My Brown Pants: Stewie soiled his diaper when the vault door closed.
*Chekhov's Gun: A literal example. The gun in Brian's safe deposit box, in that Brian has it in case he ever gets so tired of living that he decides to commit suicide.
*Darker and Edgier: This is one of the few episodes that is more dramatic than funny. This episode has very few humorous moments, and the second half of the episode comes with the reveal that Brian is planning to commit suicide in the future, and Stewie's tearful reaction.
*The Diaper Change: Technically if you count the infamous crap eating scene.
*Driven to Suicide: It's revealed Brian has a gun so he can kill himself because he feels his life is not worth living.
*Idiot Ball: Stewie calls the clothing store to try and return his Thom Browne sweater instead of calling for help. Brian calls him out on it, breaks the phone, and smacks Stewie in the face hard enough to make him cry.
*I Lied: Brian says this when revealing that the gun he'd called empty to stop Stewie from threatening him into eating his poop is actually loaded.
*Ironic Echo: "Oh I'm just callin' like I'm seein' it!"
*Oh, Crap!:
**Stewie and Brian when the vault door closes. In Stewie's case, it causes him to crap his diaper.
***When Brian realizes that his acts of eating Stewie's poop and licking his butt have been caught on tape by a security camera.
****Again, when Stewie and Brian realize what day it is and how long until the bank opens.
:Stewie: Brian?
:Brian: What?
:Stewie: I just realized something.
:Brian: What?
:Stewie: Tomorrow's Sunday.
:(Beat)
:Brian: Fuck.
*Platonic Declaration of Love: Stewie finally admits that without Brian, he'd be lost, and that he loves him in regard to this trope. Brian responds by saying that he loves Stewie too.
*Recut: After its premiere, the episode (which was around 27 minutes long excluding the exclusive "FOX Rocks" content), was edited down to a standard TV length for reruns. As a result, many sequences have been edited to tighten the pacing, with two major alterations being Brian no longer licking Stewie's butt, and Stewie smacking Brian's gun out of his hand after Brian reveals he lied about it having no bullets.
*Sick and Wrong: Brian in regards to Stewie asking him to eat his poop.
:Brian: That's sick! That is sick! How messed up in the head are you that you'd even ask!?
*Skewed Priorities: Stewie's cell phone had just enough battery life for one call... which he wastes trying to return his sweater. Brian calls him out on it by smacking him in the face and breaking the phone.
*Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Stewie pukes after seeing Brian clean his diaper and then asks if he wants to eat the vomit next.
*Wham Line: Brian's admission that he keeps a gun for if he ever wants to kill himself comes fresh off of Stewie making perverted jokes about it.
*You Monster!: Brian says this when Stewie reveals that he made him eat his poop because it amused him.
:Brian: You son of a bitch, I could kill you for that!
===The "FOX Rocks" edition contains examples of...===
*Clip Show: After the main episode, the rest of hour has Brain and Stewie present musical numbers from previous episodes, including a Deleted Scene from "Business Guy" where Peter reenacts the "Blues in Hoss' Flat" performance from The Errand Boy.
*Framing Device: This special edition features sequences of Brian and Stewie on a stage introducing the episode and the clips.
*Name and Name: Discussed by Brian and Stewie when the latter introduces the episode as "Stewie and Brian", resulting in a short argument between the two.
*The Rant: At the end of the special, Stewie and Brian introduce the FCC song from "PTV". However, Stewie takes time to complain about the FCC's reaction to the song, personally feeling that the joke backfired. When he finally allows the clip to play, Brain notes that Stewie's rant left them no air time to actually show it, so the duo say goodbye to the audience instead.
*Take That!: When Brian and Stewie argue over the title of the episode:
:Stewie: Shouldn't it be person before animal, like Turner & Hooch?
:Brian: I don't think that movie is a good example — of anything.
*The Unreveal: After the clip of Herbert's song from "Play It Again, Brian", Stewie hypes up a special, exclusive clip that features the last known recording of Michael Jackson and a sneak peak of Toy Story 3. Before Stewie reveals what the song actually is, however, Brian reports they can't legally show it, and offers to show the "Shipoopi" sequence from the episode "Patriot Games" instead.
:Stewie: Seriously? Again? Fine. Here's fucking "Shipoopi."
