Mister Stewart-Gilligan Griffin

**Mister Stewart-Gilligan Griffin** is .

## TV-Tropes

* **#1 Dime:** Rupert, his beloved teddy bear.
* **Absentee Actor:** The only episodes Stewie doesn't appear in are "Welcome Back, Carter" and "Candy Quahog Marshmallow!"
* **Accents Aren't Hereditary:** Speaks with a British accent that no one else in his family seems to share.
* **Adorably Precocious Child:** Stewie is just a baby yet has the behavior of a full-grown adult. Despite this, he still has some typical interests of an average baby/toddler, such as his Teddy bear Rupert.
* **Aesop Amnesia:** In "Stewie Kills Lois" and Lois Kills Stewie", Stewie learned about the possible outcome of him killing Lois, which ultimately led to himself being killed. This would have taught him not to keep trying to do that. Although this was the last time he tried killing Lois in a while, there was always an episode or two, where he suddenly went back to his old matricidal ways, such as "And I'm Joyce Kinney" and "Pal Stewie".
* **Affably Evil:** Especially in the later seasons. He is very homicidal at times, but aside from that he is the least obnoxious family member in the show. He always maintains a jovial and polite attitude when interacting with others, as long as he is in good mood.
* **Affectionate Nickname:** Chris would often call him "little dude" in the older episodes.
* **Agony of the Feet:** In "Saving Private Brian", he and Brian shot each other in the feet with pistols.
* **The Alcoholic:** Stewie became addicted to cough syrup in "Pilling Them Softly", which, as Brian noted, had alcohol in it. A more obvious example was in "Mind Over Murder", where Peter allowed him into Ye Old Pube and Stewie got drunk.
* **All Just a Dream:** This has actually happened to him a couple of times.
	+ In "Lois Kills Stewie", Stewie took over the world and let everyone know who he was. His evil reign was stopped, however, when Lois came in and killed him. Then and there, it turned out that all the events that transpired was just a simulation, he had set up for himself. Stewie: At least it didn't end like The Sopranos, where it just cut to black in mid-sen...
	+ Somewhat subverted in "Send in Stewie, Please", Stewie had an emotional breakthrough with his psychologist, but didn't want him to share the information with the world, so he allowed him to die. Stewie wakes up at night from guilt over his actions. He doesn't even know if this was all just a dream as well or not.
* **All of the Other Reindeer:** In "Send in Stewie, Please", it's learned that Stewie doesn't fit in well with the other kids at his school, what with him being far more intelligent than everyone else.
* **Alternate History:** Stewie messes with time in some of his time travel episodes, causing this in the present.
* **Ambiguously Bi:** Despite the many, many gags pointing toward an attraction to males, any genuine romance relevant to the plot has always been with females. That being said, many times it's been implied he loves Brian...and his Teddy bear Rupert, whom Stewie has apparently done a lot of scandalous things as a love interest.
* **Ambiguously Evil:** He starts out as Obviously Evil but as time went on he gradually Took a Level in Kindness. Regardless he still shows no regret for his past actions, will casually mention things like killing seven babies, and since it's a Sadist Show, he is still capable of as much Comedic Sociopathy as the other characters and generally doesn't seem to know the extent of certain actions.
* **And I Must Scream:** He was aware of the countless months that passed while in Lois' womb.
* **Annoying Laugh:** In "Brian Sings & Swings", Brian pointed out that Stewie had a messed up laugh, when he watched something, that he thought was really funny. A cutaway showed him watching Hope & Faith, and laughing a drawn out, obnoxious laugh, at every single joke.
* **Annoying Younger Sibling:** He can be this to both Chris and Meg, although it is usually not as big of a deal because he's a baby. For example, Meg was only mildly annoyed when Stewie stole her gifts at her birthday party. He also abuses Meg, but not as much as Chris, so he's a downplayed example.
* **Antagonistic Offspring:** Provides the page image, though this is primarily Played for Laughs.
* **Anti-Hero:** Was originally a Villain Protagonist, but became increasingly nicer and evolved into a more-or-less good guy as the series progressed.
* **Antiquated Linguistics:** He's occasionally prone to this, especially in the early seasons.
* **Anti-Villain:** He can do whatever he pleases, as long as he has a clear goal. In addition, he is opposed to wanting to kill his friend, Brian.
* **Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!:** "The Hand That Rocks the Wheelchair" reveals that Stewie gets distracted and laughs whenever he looks at his feet.
* **Attention Whore:** According to the "The Life of Brian", he says he has a "pathological need to be liked"
* **Ax-Crazy:** Mainly prior to the Revival, but it's still there.
* **Baby Language:** Subject to a large amount of Negative Continuity, but some ground rules have been made: Word of God states that Peter and Lois can understand what Stewie says just fine, but they never take him seriously. (This gets lampshaded by Stewie himself in the episode "Dial Meg for Murder", where the whole family pins Stewie as the one who'd talked smack about Meg, causing him to say, "Oh, so *now* everyone understands me?") Chris sometimes takes him seriously, while Brian and supporting characters always understand him.
* **Babysitter from Hell:** He and Brian become this to Chris when babysitting him in "North by North Quahog".
* **Bad Future:** In "Stu & Stewie's Excellent Adventure", Stewie's future self was a pathetic virgin, working a crappy, dead end job, and having lost all his villainous tendencies. It is unknown if Stewie will conform to this future, or if he'll change it.
* **The Bad Guy Wins:** As a villain protagonist, Stewie has done a number of evil things and gotten away with it.
* **Badass Adorable:** Easily the coolest badass character in the family and he's just a baby.
* **Badass Bookworm:** A baby genius with all sorts of weaponry and gadgets who's also able to beat up people bigger than him.
* **Barbie Doll Anatomy:** One scene contains a frontal shot of a naked Stewie, with no male genitalia in sight. Promptly lampshaded when he looks down and doesn't see said genitals, causing him to think he's a woman.
* **Berserk Button:** .
	+ Don't mess with his beloved teddy bear, Rupert, just DON'T.
	+ He goes ballistic after his TV time is interrupted.
	+ Throughout the entire series in general, it can be seen that Stewie heavily disapproves of frauds, even to the point of holding said fraud hostage at gunpoint!
* **Big Bad:** In the earlier seasons. In "Stewie Kills Lois and Lois Kills Stewie" two-part episode, as well.
* **Big Brother Instinct:** Inverted. Despite being the youngest, Stewie is very protective of his two older siblings. He rescued Meg when she was kidnapped and he defended Chris from bullies.
* **Brains and Brawn:** He is the brains to Chris' brawn. When the two are together Chris is often portrayed as Stewie's mount for the episode. Which shown by Stewie being carried on his back via baby carrier, backpack or piggyback ride.
* **Brainy Baby:** The page image. A big part of the character's humor comes from him being a super-intelligent Mad Scientist (probably the most intelligent character on the show, in fact), but lacking some extremely basic knowledge that only babies would not know.
* **Barely Brainy Brunette:** Scenes set in the future often show Stewie grows up with a head of brown hair.
* **An-The Bratty Half-Pint:** In the earlier seasons.
* **Cain and Abel:** Initially an Evil Versus Evil story of Sibling Rivalry, this ended up being the case by the end of *The Big Bang Theory*, when he had to stop his half-brother Bertram from destroying the universe.
* **Calling Parents by Their Name:** Stewie refers to his mother as "Lois". In earlier seasons this was a sign of his Enfant Terrible nature and disdain for his mother. When his adult self does call them "mom and dad" he immediately and violently 'corrects' himself with "It's Lois and the fat man!" He's phased out of this by later seasons.
* **Catchphrase:**
	+ "Victory is mine!" was his for at least the first few seasons.
	+ He also has "I shall do no such thing!"
	+ Not to mention "Blast!" and "Damn you (all)/(vile woman)!" in earlier seasons, as well as, "What the deuce?"
* **Chained Heat:** In "Stuck Together, Torn Apart", Stewie and Brian's hands were superglued together.
* **Characterization Marches On:** After the sixth season, Stewie became less of a villainous killer, and more of an effeminate nice guy. He stopped using his inventions to kill people, and instead used them for good. For example, his time machine was probably his healthiest creation. Not to mention, he formed a stronger friendship with Brian. Before then Stewie didn't think much of Brain and aways called him "The Dog".
* **The Chessmaster:** The most manipulative member of the family.
* **Chewing the Scenery:** Whenever he's the central focus of any scene, he has some kind of wordy monologue, full of jokes, references, and little musical numbers. Even when he's not the central focus, if he's in the scene, he's going to make a number of sarcastic cracks and quips, sometimes gaining a stronger memorability or a higher joke total, than the characters actually in focus.
* **Child Prodigy:** He can build time machines and a multi-verse transporter and yet he is only one year old.
* **Cluster F-Bomb:** In "Chap Stewie", he unleashed an unspeakable amount of profanities onto his family, for being annoying and destroying the TV, while he was just trying to watch his show.
* **Companion Cube:** He shares a close bond with his Teddy bear, Rupert. The close bond he has with it borders on gay material.
* **Creepy Child:** Pre-Season 4. He's getting his edge back in Season 9. After all, he sniped Diane Simmons, pulled a bazooka on some teenagers who stole his Halloween candy, and traveled all the way to the freaking North Pole to try to assassinate Santa Claus, from whom he'd wanted yellow cake uranium.
* **Cultured Badass:** He's a sophisticated Child Prodigy and speaks with an advanced vocabulary.
* **Dating Catwoman:** With Penelope, though it's much more like dating Moriarty.
* **Deadpan Snarker:** Not that many listen to him. For example, in *Petarded* he gets obnoxiously sarcastic towards Meg when she is afraid to go to school after her father is publicly labeled as mentally retarded

Meg: I can't believe this is happening to me. I can never go back to school again.

Stewie: Oh, yes, Meg, yes. Yes, everything was going swimmingly for you until this. Yes, this is the thing that will ruin your reputation. Not your years of grotesque appearance or awkward social graces... or that Felix Unger-ish way you clear your sinuses. No, no, no, it's this. Do you hear yourself talk? I might kill you tonight.

* **Death by Irony:** After years of trying to kill Lois, Stewie was killed by Lois in the episode "Lois Kills Stewie".
* **Death Glare:** This was essentially Stewie's default facial expression in earlier seasons.
* **Depending on the Writer:**
	+ His intelligence comes into question when it shouldn't. He is extremely smart enough to build many devices, but then, at times, he proclaims he is still learning his numbers.
	+ He either is very well aware when people are trying to trick him, or he is very oblivious that he is being obviously tricked.
	+ Either he likes Brian, hates him so much he wants to make him miserable, or he literally does love Brian.
* **Depraved Bisexual:** Yeah, he's a toddler, but he's definitely depraved and has shown attraction to several people of both genders (such as Brian). In "Send in Stewie, Please", he ends up seeing a psychologist; it's revealed he pushed another boy down a staircase because he was into the boy and afraid he didn't like him back.
* **Diabolical Mastermind:** From Seasons 1-6, he was a mechanical supervillain, hell-bent on killing his mother, destroying everything in sight, and taking over the world.
* **The Diaper Change:** The page image.
	+ In of , .
	+ In of Jungle Love, .
	+ In of Stuck Together-Torn Apart, .
	+ In of Brian and Stewie, Technically If-You Count via The InFamous-Crap-Eating scene.
	+ In of Family Guy Viewer Mail #2, The audience sees the world through Stewie's eyes as Lois changes him
	+ In of Yug Ylimaf, Stewie having his diaper *un*changed...

**Stewie:** Oh my God, it just went back in my body!
* **Defied Trope:** Refuses to abandon Brian's memory after Brian dies in the now Alternate Universe.
* **Dirty Kid:** He is definitely depraved and has shown attraction to several people of both genders (such as Brian).
* **Disguised in Drag:** He actually does this a *lot*. Also lampshaded by Brian in "Deep Throat".
* **Disposing of a Body:** Stewie has to do this, when murdering people.
* **Disproportionate Retribution:** On a frequent basis. He savagely beat Brian to a pulp for overdue gambling earnings. On another occasion he used his time machine to try and *sabotage every meaningful moment in Brian's life*, because he made a queer joke about him.
* **Ditzy Genius:** Although he's incredibly intelligent and has invented many inventions/devices beyond human knowledge, he does tend to miscalculate which is what causes some of his devices and plans to backfire. Plus, he isn't so good with basic knowledge such as shapes and the alphabet (justified, since he is *still* a baby).
* **Does Not Like Spam:** "I Never Met the Dead Man" reveals that Stewie really hates broccoli; the subplot is dedicated to him trying to destroy it in various ways.
* **Doppelgänger:** Stewie has met with quite a few of these, including Betram from "Missionary Impossible", Bitch Stewie from "Quagmire's Baby", and Evil Stewie from "The Hand That Rocks the Wheelchair".
* **Driven to Suicide:** Twice. In "Killer Queen" and "Mom's the Word", both thanks to Brian.
* **Emperor Scientist**: This was his original goal pre-cancellation, but it doesn't figure much anymore.
* **Enfant Terrible:** The page image. In Seasons 3,4-6, he was a sarcastic, ranting evil genius with a homicidal grudge against his mother. He still is against those he genuinely hates (or in some cases, those that know something they shouldn't), though it's rather rare.
* **Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas:** Averted. Stewie has regularly tried to murder Lois, though this trait has mellowed down as the series progressed, with the exception of "Stewie Kills Lois".
* **Even Evil Has Loved Ones:** .
	+ It's shown multiple times that he truly does love Brian despite their constant bickering. In "New Kidney in Town", he's terrified at the prospect of Brian dying so that Peter can live and goes as far as to kidnap Brian to prevent that from happening. He outright admits to Brian that he doesn’t want to lose him because he loves him.
	+ In "Life of Brian" he mourns Brian the most out of everyone and is desperate to bring him back. He gets his wish in "Christmas Guy".
	+ To a lesser extent, he is close with Chris and to a much lesser extent, Meg. In recent seasons, he begins treating them like actual siblings and when Meg saves his life in "Stand By Meg", he tries to improve her dating life as gratitude.
* **Even Evil Has Standards:** .
	+ It's shown that he disapproves of Brian's sadistic love of torturing and killing squirrels. In "Point of Stew", he is disgusted when Brian runs down a squirrel, closing its open, staring eyes when he notices it stuck on the wheel next to him and gently assuring it that Brian can't hurt it anymore.
	+ Also, he's the only member of the family who hates John Herbert, the local pedophile; in one episode where he takes over the mail route for Chris, when Herbert immediately starts hitting on him, Stewie shuts him down by calling him a pervert and telling him to piss off. In "Point of Stew", when he encounters Herbert doing an Underside Ride on the school bus, he snaps at the old man to stay away from Chris' butt.
	+ At times Stewie is uncomfortable with Brian's flirting with women. At one point, he called Brian out for calling a woman a "bi-racial slam piece".
	+ He also abhors Quagmire's uncontrollable lust for Lois. He immediately snaps back at Quagmire's request to smell his mouth to smell Lois' breasts on it.
	+ Similarly, he's vehemently against Quagmire hitting on and sleeping with Meg, and helps the family protect Meg from Quagmire.
* **Evil Brit:** The "evil" part being in the first seasons. The accent was also slightly heavier than it is now.
* **Evil Genius:** In early seasons.
* **Evil Is Petty:** Often dips into this, performing such acts as using his time machine to try and *sabotage every meaningful moment in Brian's life* simply because he made a queer joke about him.
* **Extreme Omnisexual:** If there's anything he inherited from Peter, it’s his omnisexuality. He's attracted Brian the family male dog, daydreamed of a buffed up Rupert (his teddy bear), and a scene where he was hinted to have slept with a doll.
* **Fan of the Underdog:** He's good friends with Brian.
* **Fake Brit:** In-universe example. "Send in Stewie, Please" reveals that he is faking his British accent.
* **Faux Affably Evil:** His pre-cancellation persona leans more towards this. Eloquent, charming and perfectly willing to kill or harm anyone who stands in his way, even those who have wronged him in some way. Take "The Kiss Seen Around The World", where he's capturing a bully who stole his tricycle:

Stewie: "You know, my hooligan friend, I've been racking my brain in a thus far fruitless attempt to resolve our recent unpleasantness. Then it dawned on me. Your cruelty merely stems from some deep-seated inner pain. So, the obvious remedy is a healthy dose of OUTER PAIN!" (Pulls out a net launcher)

* **Flanderization:** Stewie's curiosity for homosexuality slowly growing to make him flat-out gay. This trait has taken him over so badly that he has lost a lot of his Evil Genius traits as a result. Granted, Stewie has apparently lampshaded his own Flanderization on at least two occasions where he realized he was losing his villainous touch and attempted to de-flanderize himself by (the first attempt) attempting to kill Lois again, and (the second attempt) getting back to inventing for the sake of evil. Stewie: I like to talk about world domination. Some people don't think I talk about it enough anymore.
* **Future Loser:** In The Movie, although it is unknown if he still is.
* **Gadgeteer Genius:** He converts many of his toys into diabolical inventions.
* **Gag Penis:** Surprisingly, in "You Can't Do That On Television, Peter", Peter compared his and Stewie's penis sizes, before it cuts away to Peter looking grumpy and complaining that it's a "Stupid game, anyway". Now, while this is Downplayed because Peter has a Teeny Weenie, "Trans-Fat" implies that Peter's original penis size was 4 inches, maybe even less. So a One-year-old baby having a penis bigger than that is... well, abnormal.
* **Good Eyes, Evil Eyes:** His eyes are much narrower at his most sinister, and were almost always like this back when he was evil (he'd even have a sour expression in his sleep). Otherwise, they appear very relaxed.
* **Hair-Trigger Temper:** Naturally, being Ax-Crazy. One notable example of his temper is the time where he beat the ever-loving crap out of Brian after the latter failed to come up with the money he owed him from a bet and another time where he brutally beat one of Lois's piano students simply because he was playing while Stewie was watching the History Channel.
* **Heel–Face Revolving Door:** He routinely murders people on and off-screen. In one of the later episodes it's implied he killed babies without remorse.

Brian: How would you feel if you killed another baby?

Stewie (offhandedly): I've killed seven...

* **Heroic Comedic Sociopath:** He's a fan favorite whose antics are over the top mostly for comedic effect and he has little intent to kill or harm his family save for Lois. Yet it is made clear at varying times he does not always think much of Peter, Chris, or Meg either.
* **Heterosexual Life-Partners:** With Brian, but his orientation is up for interpretation.
* **Hey, You!:** Refers to his parents as Lois and "the fat man", and violently reprimanded his mild-mannered future self for actually calling them "Mom and Dad" (However in the more recent seasons he has started to call Peter and Lois, "Mom and Dad" respectively). He also originally just called Brian "dog" before he mellowed out and the two became close companions.
* **I Just Want to Be Special:** His Wicked Cultured British accent is fake, an affectation he adopted to set himself apart from everyone else.
* **Incompatible Orientation:** Occasionally demonstrates he may have a crush on Brian.
* **Innocent Prodigy:** The Evil Counterpart to this trope. He's a Wicked Cultured Evil Genius, despite being barely a toddler and often almost as naive as you'd expect a child his age to be. "Huh, this toy contains small parts. But why would they include small parts in a toy for someone my age...? Unless I'm supposed to eat them! Of course, it all adds up!"
* **Insufferable Genius:** At times, he can annoy Brian, by constantly outwitting him at everything.
* **Interspecies Romance:** The longest running relationship he's had that's closest to romantic is his tight, sexually charged friendship with Brian the dog. He even impregnates himself with Brian's children in "Stewie Is Enceinte".
* **Irony:** The sole Axe-Crazy member of the family in the early seasons is currently its Only Sane Man among them.
* **Jerkass:** Less and less after each season, however...With occasional exceptions.
* **Jerkass to One:** In early seasons, he was an evil Enfant Terrible with plans to Take Over the World, but was especially antagonistic towards his mother Lois and constantly plotted ways to kill her.
* **Jerk with a Heart of Gold:** Currently. He even handled Brian's death the worst of the family.
* **Karma Houdini:** To a much greater extent than anybody else on his family. He might have gotten nicer, but at the end of the day Stewie still the most murderous member of the Griffin family, if not the entire cast. His victims include men, women and children- including infant children- and his on-screen body count is easily in the double digits (and when he teams up with his Eviler Than Thou soulmate Penelope, well into the hundreds of millions). He has committed theft, assault, arson, abduction, bombings, torture, murder, and acts of terrorism and mass murder, and he has plotted to Take Over the World literally since he was in his mother's womb (he claims to have left a bomb in there as well). It's all Played for Laughs, of course, but he's still *way* more evil than the rest of his family whose comparatively trivial behavior is occasionally treated much more seriously.
* **Knight of Cerebus:** The lighthearted, albeit offensive comedy that Family Guy usually lives in, is shifted greatly, when things focus on Stewie. At that point, things are all about murder, crimes, and taking over the world.
* **Lack of Empathy:** In the early seasons. He gets better in later seasons.
* **Large Ham:** "HA! I GOT YOUR HAT! TAKE THAT, HATLESS! NOW GO BACK TO THE QUAD AND RESUME YOUR HACKEY-SACK TOURNEY! I'M NOT GONNA LIE DOWN FOR SOME FRAT BOY BASTARD WITH HIS DAMN TEVA SANDALS AND HIS SKOAL BANDITS AND HIS ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH LONG SLEEVE, OPEN STITCH, CREW NECK HENLEY SMOKING HIS STICKY BUDS OUT OF A SODA CAN WHILE WATCHING HIS FAVORITE DOWNLOADED SIMPSONS EPISODES EVERY NIGHT! YES, WE ALL LOVE "MR. PLOW!" OH, YOU'VE GOT THE SONG MEMORIZED, DO YOU? SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE! THAT IS *EXACTLY* THE KIND OF IDIOT YOU'D SEE AT TACO BELL AT 1:00 IN THE MORNING! THE GUY WHO JUST WHIFFED HIS WAY DOWN THE BAR SKANK LADDER!"
* **Laughably Evil:** Is considered one of the funniest characters.
* **Little Brother Mentor:** He's shown more concern for Chris and Meg's welfare than their parents ever have, and has tried to help them with their problems.
* **Made of Iron:** He can take a lot of punishment for a one year old.
* **Mad Scientist:** Stewie invented several futuristic machines, such as a time machine, a transporter or a device that allows him to travel between parallel universes.
* **Manipulative Bastard:** Especially in the early seasons. It kinda petered out for a while & got replaced with a Transparent Closet schtick, but they've been trying to bring it back recently.
* **Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy:** Feminine Boy to Penelope's Masculine Girl.
* **Mature Younger Sibling:** His two older siblings, Chris and Meg, are an immature Dumbass Teenage Son and Bratty Teenage Daughter respectively. Stewie, who's just a *one-year-old* baby, is the closest to mature of the three Griffin children, usually bringing up valid points whenever his older siblings are acting up, which they usually ignore since the family normally can't hear him. However, considering that Stewie's a matricidal Enfant Terrible who's committed many heinous acts, insults his family, and occasionally uses Brian for personal gain, he's Only Sane by Comparison.
* **Meta Guy:** While most characters break the fourth wall Stewie uses it to complain about the show.
* **Mighty Glacier:** Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse. Stewie's teddy bear Rupert effectively becomes a stationary turret.
* **Mister Seahorse:** In the post-cancellation episode, "Stewie Is Enceinte", he uses his Mad Scientist skills to impregnate himself with a litter of Brian-fathered human/dog hybrid babies.
* **Moral Myopia:** Much in the same Played for Laughs way as Quagmire, Stewie will repeatedly pontificate over Brian for his immoral or unscrupulous qualities, though is still a remorseless mass murderer and Comedic Sociopath.
* **Mundane Utility:** In "Life of Brian", he recalls using the time machine prior to its destruction to easily buy a toy around Christmas later in the year. This becomes important in saving Brian when he happens to come across his past self secretly buying said toy, leading to him and Vinny planing to steal the return pad in order to save Brian.
* **Muscles Are Meaningless:** Stewie can brutalize adults 20 times his size.
* **My Own Grandpa:** When his ancestor was killed, he was forced to take his spot.
* **Named After Somebody Famous:** Most likely, Peter drew inspiration from *Gilligan's Island*, and Lois was okay with it. Peter loves television, and classic TV series were an especially big influence on earlier seasons.
* **The Napoleon:** Small and vicious.
* **Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant:** In earlier episodes at least, Stewie is often amused, excited or even aroused by horrible and disgusting things.
* **No Good Deed Goes Unpunished:** In "Life of Brian", after radically altering history by accident again, Stewie destroys his time machine to prevent anyone from changing history for the worse again. However, after Brian dies, Stewie tries to find parts to rebuild the time machine, except that the only provider of a major component had also died, meaning that Brian cannot be saved.
* **No-Holds-Barred Beatdown:** He dishes this out regularly, especially in the episode "Patriot Games".
* **Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond:** Comes to the realization that he shines among the below-average Griffins in "Chap Stewie" (after living with a sharper and much more affectionless family).
* **Not Allowed to Grow Up:** Granted, he's *still* one year old.
	+ Lampshaded in "Road to Rupert", when Brian says that he's getting too old to be having a teddy bear, Stewie replies with "Brian, I'm one." to which Brian asks "Still?"
	+ Lampshaded even further in "Christmas Guy", when Lois says that it's time for Stewie's first Christmas, to which Stewie replies, "Again?"
* **Obfuscating Stupidity:** Everyone except Brian believes he's a normal baby.
* **Odd Friendship:** He is best friends with Brian, the Only Sane Man, despite his homicidal tendencies.
* **Oedipus Complex:** Inverted. He wants to kill Lois, and has had some friendlier moments with Peter, including the whole of *The Courtship of Stewie's Father*.
* **The Only One Allowed to Defeat You:** Invoked when he snipes Diane, who's about to kill Lois. Stewie: If anyone is going to take that bitch down, its gonna be *me!*
* **Only Sane Man:** Ironically, he took a reverse Flanderization in this regard: Peter evolved from an alcoholic, working class guy to a dangerously Psychopathic Manchild; Lois went from being a sane voice of reason to a nasty Bitch in Sheep's Clothing; Chris went from an airheaded artist to a miniature Peter (with the added bonus of masturbating far too much); Meg turned from an unpopular teenager to an unstable Cosmic Plaything; and Brian went from being the smartest member of the house to an insufferable Know-Nothing Know-It-All. Stewie, meanwhile, went from a murderous sociopath to the most grounded member of the cast, whose only quirks are his Camp Gay tendencies.
* **Parental Favoritism:** Some recent episodes imply that Stewie is the only kid that Peter likes, such as introducing his family to Homer Simpson as "The Griffins. Peter, Lois, Stewie, and then, uh, you know, the others. Brian, I guess".
* **Perpetual Frowner:** Back in his diabolical mastermind persona.
* **Pet the Dog:** .
	+ Subverted in the Season 9 premiere. He saves Lois from getting killed by Diane, only because he wants to be the one to kill her.
	+ Played straight at times especially with Brian. Notably, he immediately fell in victim with Lois after she repaired Rupert, though he changed his mind after she allowed him to break his arm.
	+ Played straight again when he saves Chris from being strangled to death by Charles Yamamoto. With the Queen album *News of the World (Queen)*, no Less!
* **Ping-Pong Naïveté:** He has always varied between someone that apparently had an adult's knowledge of the world, frequently showing knowledge of popular culture and sex (he once knew how his parent were going to make another child and understood exactly how the biological function was), and being fairly erudite but possessing little knowledge that a baby wouldn't (he didn't understand his birth even after his first birthday).
* **Pintsized Powerhouse:** He's just a baby but he can hold his own in a fight against Osama bin Laden and Lois in "Lois Kills Stewie", almost killing her if it wasn't for Peter's arrival.
* **Pop-Cultured Badass:** Able to cite pop culture references that long predate his birth.
* **Practically Different Generations:** Less extreme than some examples, but he remains one while his sister Meg is 16-18.
* **Promotion to Parent:** Despite being a megalomanical, world-domination obsessed super-genius toddler, Stewie has also done more to be a parental figure to Chris and Meg than Peter and Lois ever have.
* **Psychic Powers:** During the events of "Super Griffins".
* **Randomly Gifted:** Stewie's supernatural level of intellect is confirmed to simply be random chance, as shown in *Baby Stewie*, where he removes the "Griffin" influences of his DNA and reverts to a normal baby.
* **"The Reason You Suck" Speech:** Delivers a truly epic one to Dr. Pritchfield in "Send in Stewie, Please".
	+ Read it here. note
	+ ...Until Pritchfield retorts with: Pritchfield: You seem like a very lonely, little boy. Stewie: OH MY GOD, I AM! I'M SO LONELY! YOU CAN SEE INSIDE MY SOUL!
* **Retired Monster:** Best seen in The Movie " Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story". As an evident example of the early seasons, he was a psychopathic little brat who enjoyed using violence at any moment, a point that even the two-part episode "Stewie Kills Lois and Lois Kills Stewie" showed how monstrous he was able to be, not to mention that in the real canon has killed several people, even kids. However, the movie shows that his self-future is one of these. He is not violent and all his plans for world domination were scrapped by himself. However, he changes the past, possibly effecting this. Also there's the fact that in every new season, he seems to become increasingly sympathetic. It may seem strange that even now he can be considered an Anti-Hero, and less evil than Carter.
* **Running Gag:** Stewie is associated with a few of these, although most of them have been abandoned.
	+ **Cool Hwip:** .
	+ **Sexy Parties:** .
	+ **Gay Moments:** .
	+ **Still Working on That Novel?:** .
* **Sadist:** In early seasons. He still has his moments, but it's more general Comedic Sociopathy.
* **Serial Killer:** Stewie has committed many murders throughout the series, typically out of revenge or greed.
* **Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness:** Early on. Lampshaded by Brian in "Back to the Pilot". Brian: Geez, what, did you carry a thesaurus around with you?
* **Sissy Villain:** Is [1] and is a serial killer. This is espcially evident in the earlier seasons. No surprise, given that he's largely a parody of various villain tropes.
* **Smarter Than You Look:** Simply because he's a baby, he's assumed to be unintelligent, until you find out about his plans for world domination, mastery of multiverse theory and so forth.
* **The Smart Guy:** Shares this role with Brian, usually.
* **Smart People Speak the Queen's English:** Possibly. There's some controversy over whether his accent is Received Pronunciation or Boston Brahmin.
* **The Sociopath:** In the early seasons and Depending on the Writer. Brian once called him a "freakin psychopath" because he was brutally and savagely assaulting him when Brian owed him money. This was *before* he shot Brian on both legs and *set him on fire* for still not paying him.
* **Spotlight-Stealing Squad:** His character has developed much over the course of the series and gets more screentime with Brian than the rest of the family. The series may as well just be "The Brian and Stewie Show" in later seasons. In fact, said 150th episode was simply called "Brian and Stewie". They are the main characters of the 200th episode. Let's face it, it's all about them now. Not to mention the "Road To..." episodes, which focus on Brian and Stewie entirely.
* **Stable Time Loop:** Due to an accident with time travel, Stewie caused the Big Bang.
* **Surrounded by Idiots:** Stewie generally views the rest of his family as complete morons. With a father like Peter and a brother like Chris, he may just have a point.
* **Token Evil Teammate:** Exaggerated at first, then inverted as the series progressed. An exaggerated example in early seasons, being a cartoonishly villainous mastermind amidst a whimsical sitcom family. As his personality softened and his family became more sociopathic however, it's almost become completely reversed.
* **Took a Level in Kindness:** Initially portrayed as an apathetic child with plans of world domination and an unexplained desire to murder his family in the earlier seasons, Stewie has softened out considerably while everyone else Took a Level in Jerkass.
* **Tritagonist:** He's the Deuteragonist of most episodes focusing on Brian (and thus, the overall Tritagonist).
* **Troubling Unchildlike Behavior:** Exaggerated almost as much as it can be. Stewie's only one year old, so he shouldn't even be able to walk and talk, much less carry and use heavy firearms, build advanced machinery (including a *time machine*), and generally participate in all the misadventures he and Brian get themselves into. However, the fact that he is just an infant sometimes shows even during moments that qualify for this trope, making for a humorous result:

**Peter:** Stewie... how long you been all messed up and evil like this?

**Stewie:** *[holding the family at gunpoint]* Oh, so *now* you're interested in Stewie. Last week when I made that macaroni picture of an owl, you didn't give a damn!

Peter:[Suprised]That was an owl?

**Stewie:** Yes! And now we're going to look at it again. *[Smashes butt of pistol into Peter's knee, then drags him screaming in pain over to a table and holds macaroni picture in front of him]* Look! Look! Do you like it?!

**Peter:** *[shaken]* Yes...?

**Stewie:** What do you like about it specifically?!

**Peter:** I don't know...

**Stewie:** Pick something or I'll blow your brains out!

**Peter:** I like... how it looks like an owl...?

**Stewie:** Thank you for the compliment!

*[Walks away with the drawing, leaving Peter to curl up and cry on the floor.]*

* **True Companions:** With Brian. Their friendship is one of the only consistent things about the show, at least in later seasons (he was his Sitcom Arch-Nemesis in early seasons).
* **Undying Loyalty:** He is very upset by how easily the rest of his family forgets about Brian during the whole...death stunt.
* **Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist:** In the early seasons, where he had an unhealthy obsession with killing his mother.
* **Villain Decay:** Lampshaded by Brian in "Stewie Kills Lois" (leading to a simulation of the titular action) "The Hand That Rocks the Wheelchair" (leading to him building a machine with the intent of amplifying his cruelty, which instead creates a clone embodying his former psychopathy) and "Mr. and Mrs. Stewie" (when suggesting that Penelope is Eviler Than Thou).
* **Villain Protagonist:** In early seasons when he wanted to kill his mother.
* **Vitriolic Best Buds:** With Brian. Lampshaded in "Road to the Multiverse" when Brian and Stewie go to a version of Quahog where the US never dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Japan won World War II, resulting in them annexing the US:

Japanese Stewie: I no like you, but I like you!

Japanese Brian: I no like you, but I like you, too!

* **Vocal Dissonance:** An evil cultured accent on an infant.
* **Vocal Evolution:** Stewie’s British accent gets lighter and takes on a more flamboyant tone over time.
* **Volumetric Mouth:** In "Ready, Willing, and Disabled", as a parody of *Peanuts*.
* **"Well Done, Son!" Guy:** "A Lot Going On Upstairs" reveals that he cares about Brian's opinion about him and is afraid of disappointing him because he subconsciously looks up to him as a father-figure.
* **Wicked Cultured:** Brilliant, sophisticated, and devious.
* **Wise Beyond Their Years:** At the very least, far more intelligent than normal babies tend to be.

See-n-say: The cow goes, SHAZOO!
Stewie: ...It most certainly does not.
* **With Friends Like These...:** The things Brian does to him in episodes like "Be Careful What You Fish For", "Brian Writes A Bestseller" and "Herpe, The Love Sore" makes you wonder why these two are still friends. Granted this *is* Stewie, so the toxicity is very two-way, ranging from Stewie making endless petty jabs over Brian's failures as a writer and lover, gaslighting him or sabotaging many circumstances he stands to make any other relationships besides him, or *beating him to a pulp* for handing him gambling fees late.
* **Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds:** Several facts of his life have been excuses of why he's a psycho. He claims to have lost his sanity while he was aware in Lois' womb.
* **Yandere:** The main reason why he can't keep a potential relationship together, he either scares them away, or in the case of Olivia, murders them.

## Biography/History

### History By Episode

#### Season-001

A suburban family in the town of Quahog, Rhode Island called the Griffin Family joins together for dinner. Stewie Griffin, the youngest sibling, is finalizing a mind-control device, to aid him on his mission for achieving world domination. Lois Griffin, the mother of the family, takes it away from him, telling him that toys are not allowed at the table, unknowing of the device's true intent. Peter Griffin, the father of the family tells Lois that he'll be attending a stag party at his friend's house, but Lois doesn't allow this unless he promises not to drink. Peter makes this deal with her, but immediately breaks it, almost instantly upon arrival. He overdoses and wakes up on the kitchen table the next day, to his angry wife, and his impressionable children, witnessing the whole scene. Peter goes to work at The Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory that day, falling asleep on the job, missing dangerous objects such as a butcher knife, a surge protector, a gasoline can, razor blades, a porcupine, a toaster with forks inside and a plug in water. The company receives bad press after releasing unsafe toy products, and Peter is promptly fired by Mr. Weed. **At dinner, Peter breaks the news to his family. He applies for other jobs, such as cereal mascot and sneeze guard, but fails miserably. Down on his luck, Brian and Chris Griffin, the dog and middle sibling in the family, insist Peter must look out for his family's welfare. With the word "welfare" in his mind, Peter soon applies for government assistance at a welfare office. But a processing error creates a weekly check for $150,000. Telling Lois he received a job with a big raise, Peter spends his money on many foolish and extravagant things, such as renting the Statue of David, treating Meg Griffin, the oldest sibling in the family, and Chris to cosmetic lip injections and breast implants respectively, and even going so far as to surround his house with a moat to protect them from the Black Knight, complete with a drawbridge and a miniature cruise ship, for travelling the sparkling waters. Unfortunately, Lois is given the welfare check by the mail lady and scolds at Peter. Peter decides to return the money to the taxpayers by dumping it from a blimp during Super Bowl XXXIII, with Brian accompanying him. They are immediately shot down and sent to prison.** Eventually, Lois receives the bad news and goes to court, still angry at Peter for lying to her in the first place. After Peter apologizes for lying to Lois and accepting the money instead of reporting the welfare error, the judge sentences him to 24 months in prison for welfare fraud. Lois, Brian, Chris and Meg exclaim, "Oh no!". Lois tries to explain he's not that bad and she loves him, and insists that, no matter what, she will always stand by her husband. The judge agrees and sends her to jail with him. Stewie, being a baby, must have his parents by his side, regardless of his burning hate for them, especially Lois. He then whips out his mind control device and forces the judge into letting his father go free and get his job back. **Peter states that he has learned his lesson and will never do it again. Instead, he is going to try for such things as a minority scholarship, sexual harassment suit, and a disability claim.**(Death Has a Shadow)

**Meg is out to get her driving license. Peter, who would much rather watch TV, reluctantly gives her a lesson in which he teaches her to race red lights. Naturally, Meg completely fails the test, and Peter must drive her home. Unfortunately, he doesn't pay attention to the road, focusing instead on trying to watch TV through the window of a nearby house and crashes into the local satellite receiver dish, knocking out cable TV for the entire Quahog area. He places the blame on Meg, making her even less popular than usual, but he promises her a convertible when she finally gets her license. Peter, who according to Brian is addicted to television, copes with the loss of TV by creating a harness that holds a cardboard television set in front of his face, allowing him to pretend that things around him are on TV.** Meg finally cracks under the pressure of the town's resentment and tells everyone that Peter was the driver who wrecked the receiver. The town is ready to lynch Peter, but Lois convinces the town that now that TV is gone, everybody can focus on more wholesome activities. The townsfolk forgive Peter and move on to enjoy real life. Peter learns to participate in family activities to fill the void. However, his enthusiasm for life quickly exhausts the rest of the family. When television service is restored, the family is unable tempt him back away from real life, as he opts instead to attend a Bavarian folk festival with William Shatner. **Meanwhile, Stewie is revolted by the broccoli he is fed. Rather than eat it, he plans to wipe out the crop worldwide by modifying a See 'n Say into a weather control device. He uses the remains of the satellite dish, which were tangled around the bumper of Peter's car, to amplify the machine's signal and he succeeds in creating a freezing rainstorm, but the process is interrupted by a bolt of lightning, which destroys the machine, though the storm rages on.** Lois takes Meg out on a driving lesson and the two get caught in the storm. Peter and Shatner begin running back to the Griffin's house barefoot in the rain, but are run over by Meg. Shatner dies on the spot while Peter is subsequently hospitalized in a body cast. The nurse leaves the television turned on, and Peter can't resist being drawn in.(I Never Met Mr. Deaddy)

**Stewie is in terrible pain from teething and cannot find comfort anywhere. When his mother Lois tells him that his pain will ultimately pass, it gives him the idea to build a machine that will move time forward to the point where his teething will have already stopped. Meanwhile, Lois tells Peter to drive their son Chris to his soccer match, then come right back to look after Stewie. However, Peter's friend Quagmire is there, and has brought beer, so Peter decides to ignore Lois and stay at the game. While there, another member of the crowd insults Chris. Enraged, Peter punches this person in the face, only to discover that it is a pregnant woman who looks and sounds like a man.** Peter is put under house arrest for assault and soon begins to miss his friends. Peter has a vision of the Pawtucket Patriot, a fictional ale mascot, from his ale can label and on his advice opens a bar in his basement so that his friends can come to visit called Ye Old Pube. The basement bar soon becomes a local hotspot. When Lois discovers this, along with seeing not only her baby drunk but also her daughter chained in the cellar, she’s upset, but then she gets a chance to sing on stage before an adoring crowd. As she enjoys the spotlight, Peter becomes increasingly uncomfortable with all the attention she's getting, especially from the male patrons. Peter demands that she quit singing, but she refuses. **Peter is soon cornered by the neglected wives of his bar's patrons, and invites them to drag their husbands out from his bar. Meanwhile, Stewie’s time machine plans are accidentally discovered by Lois, who shows them around to the bar's patrons. Angered and upset that his plans have been discovered, Stewie runs upstairs. Soon after, the wives storm the bar and Lois tells them that she only wants to feel appreciated and special, something to which all the other women relate. Meanwhile, Quagmire accidentally starts a fire.** Upstairs, Stewie takes drastic measures to protect his plans, programming the machine to go back in time before he drew them up. In the bar, Peter and Lois have a heart-to-heart conversation, and they do not immediately notice that the bar is burning. When they try to escape, the stairs become blocked and they are trapped, with Meg, Chris and Brian unable to help them. As a last-ditch effort, Brian takes Stewie's time machine reverses time just as Peter is having an epiphany about how poorly he treats Lois and Meg and Chris both admitting that they love each other despite their fighting, mere seconds before the basement bar goes up in flames. They all travel back in time, to when Lois asked Peter to take Chris to the game. While he is getting ready, Peter trips on Stewie's time machine, destroying it and injuring his leg, thus preventing him from taking Chris to his soccer match, while Stewie is left to suffer with more teething pain. **In the stinger, it's revealed that Meg's still chained in the cellar**(Mind Over Murder)

The Beer Bar Buddies drink some beer at The Drunken Clam, when Horace tells them that they've better be going soon as he's closing up the bar for the night. Sad that their party is coming to an end, Peter asks if he can take their beers to go. Horace allows it as surprisingly, as there's no law saying that they can't do that. This leads to The Beer Bar Buddies drinking while driving and getting into tons of trouble. A cop takes a very wasted Peter home and tells Lois that he wrecked a bunch of cars and buildings and killed a bunch of people, while he was drunk. Lois is shocked that her husband's about to go to jail, but the cop says that there's no need to worry. Quahog law says that "inebriated felonies" are not illegal, since you can't blame someone for doing something bad, while intoxicated. While relieved that her husband isn't going to jail, she still thinks that this law is completely nonsensical and highly dangerous. **The next morning, news gets out that Quahog's mayor, Buddy Cianci was forced to resign from his job after being charged with racketeering, while sober, putting him under arrest for four years. Now that he was arrested, this opens up a new spot for a new mayor to seize control of Quahog. Lois is happy that this is going to happen, now that she knows that hopefully, the new mayor will be good and put an end to all these messed up laws. However, her hopes are instantly crushed when the first guy to run for mayor is the cockamamie celebrity, Adam West. Adam West does great with the citizens as he's famous and amazing and he proposes to make a whole bunch of new ridiculous laws and rules. Lois will not stand for this, so she runs against him. Peter and The Beer Bar Buddies freak out. They know that if Lois becomes mayor, then all the great things they loved doing will come to an end. Fearing that she might actually become mayor, they do all of the things she plans to illegalize, while they still can.** When the results come in, Adam West becomes the new mayor, much to the disappointment of Lois and the delight of Peter. However, Mayor Adam West's reign over Quahog isn't all that it's cracked up to be. The next time Peter goes on another one of his drunken crime sprees, "Batman" shows up and kicks his ass and says that he's dishing out some justice in this messed up city with a corrupt mayor. When Peter reports this to Adam West, saying that someone beat him up for doing something perfectly legal, Adam just says that there's no way he'll be able to catch this smooth and slick vigilante as he gives a smug little wink. **Apparently, Mayor Adam West is going to pretend to be a horrible mayor, while his alter-ego goes around, righting all of his wrongs, bringing an unconventional but successful form of justice to this crime-ridden town. The episode ends, Batman style with Mayor Adam West looking off into the night, while the bat signal flares up into the dark midnight sky, while a bolt of lighting strikes down, dramatically.(Do and Die)**

She is greeted by Bonnie Swanson and soon after meets her husband, Joe, while Meg falls in love with Joe and Bonnie's son, Kevin. When Peter comes home, he is rude to the Swansons. Later that night, Peter thinks about who can replace Gulliermo, and Lois, hearing her husband's dilemma, reveals that Bonnie told her that Joe played baseball in college. Hearing this, Peter goes to Joe and apologizes for his earlier behavior towards him, and convinces him to play on his company softball team. However, while Peter and Mr. Weed are waiting for Joe at the ballpark, they're horrified when Joe shows up in a wheelchair, as Peter hadn't realized at first that Joe's wheelchair-bound. However, despite his disability, Joe proves to be an excellent ballplayer and leads Peter's company's team to victory. That night, Joe has a celebratory party in his house, where he reveals that he is a police officer who was crippled after fighting The Grinch on the roof of an orphanage and soon becomes very popular with the neighbors, including Peter's family.** Joe's popularity makes Peter jealous, so Peter wants to be a hero too. He attempts to stop a bank robbery to compete with Joe's heroism. Peter and Brian are taken hostage in the process, but Joe convinces the robbers to surrender.

Before leaving town, Lois tells Peter he's in charge of the kids while she's away.** While Lois is enjoying her vacation, the rest of the Griffins are suffering without her. Meg and Chris - the latter going through puberty - are being constantly ignored by Peter, who wants to watch TV instead of raising them, and are forced to take care of themselves. But despite being ignorant of the other kids, Peter still has to take care of Stewie as he's still a baby and Peter needs to protect and care for him. But the constant surveilling from Peter frustrates Stewie even more than Lois. So to reticulate, he puts a mind control device on Peter to make him his slave and do his bidding. Peter turns on Stewie when the device is shorted out by the microwave oven.(Peter's in Charge)

**For Quahog's yearly harvest festival parade with floats the theme is decided by Peter, who chooses "That Episode of Who's the Boss? in Which Tony Sees Angela Naked". The float built by Spooner Street wins, but the men can't agree at whose house the golden clam trophy should reside. They eventually decide on having it be placed over the road, held up by the statues from the float. The next day, the trophy is found to be missing, and everyone immediately suspects each other of stealing it, causing everyone to take precautionary measures including rigging their homes with traps and acquiring weapons.** Meanwhile, Meg gets a job at Flappy Jack's House of Pancakes so she can buy herself a Prada bag after being insulted by the girls at school for her inferior purse.

After she apologizes, Lois tells her she needs to clear things up and grounds her for a month. After she tells Jack the truth, she's rightfully fired from her job.**(Love Your Trophy)

**Quahog is in the grip of an unusual heatwave and, not having air conditioning, the Griffins are suffering. Peter learns of an upcoming dog show offering a top prize of $500, which he sees as the perfect way to buy an air conditioner, and the family persuades a reluctant Brian to participate. After Brian performs his tricks at the dog show, Peter puts a bone biscuit on Brian’s nose. Brian finds this demeaning and humiliating so he becomes angry and refuses to “perpetuate the stereotype of the ‘good dog.’” and storms off in a huff.** On the drive home, Peter and Brian argue until an angry Brian gets out of the car. The police give Brian a ticket for violating the local leash law, which Peter has to pay, only further widening their rift. Lois tries to get Peter and Brian to make up, but when Brian makes another fuss about the dog show, an annoyed Peter points out that he has never asked Brian to do anything for the family before the dog show, and tells him to stop being a bad dog.

After getting his ass kicked by the husband of a woman he hit on, Quagmire drags his body back to the place, where the beer bar buddies watch Tom and Diane on the news, announce that Pawtucket Pat of The Pawtucket Patriot Ale Brewery is announcing a challenge, where he is putting five silver scrolls into random bottle of Pawtucket Patriot Ale and sending them all around town. The lucky five winners get to take a tour of his brewery and take one friend each. **Lois desperately searches for one piano student who can beat her rival Alexis' student at the piano competition but she can't find one student who doesn't suck, mainly because she just refuses to teach them. No seriously. I mean, you know the old saying. There are no bad students, right?** Peter drinks even more Pawtucket Patriot Ale than usual in an attempt to win a tour of the brewery. He finds out that Joe got the first scroll, which turns him into a bit of a worry wart, because now there's only four beers left. So he gets back to boozin' and Lois scolds him for his irresponsibility but he doesn't care. **Giving up, he drinks away his sorrows and discovers the silver scroll in his beer.

When Pat finds Peter and Brian in the forbidden room, he ejects them from the brewery but doesn't even give them a sendoff song from the Chumbawumbas because since he never expected people to go into that room, he didn't write a song with lyrics about that. Peter still horns him for a song so Pat just has the Cumbawumbas start to sing and then kick him in the leg, making him wince in pain once again.** Angry at Pawtucket Pat, Peter tries to get Lois’ attention by playing the piano showing that he can play piano perfectly when drunk. Lois decides to enter Peter as her student in the piano competition and keeps him in a state of constant inebriation. At the competition, Peter can’t even find the piano, Lois has to turn him around and move him a couple of inches.

He makes his granddaughter, Meg, feel guilty for holding hands with a neighbor boy, and tells his younger grandson, Stewie, bedtime stories of the punishments that await sinners in Hell. Francis and his teachings to his grandchildren cause Chris to become convinced that defecation is a sin, while it makes Stewie become fascinated with God and his power to punish sinners.** Francis is bored by retirement and is soon hired at the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory where Peter works; thanks to his excellent proficiency he is made foreman of the factory and fires Peter.

Peter also adds material inspired by The Jerry Springer Show and Flashdance and changes Anna's outfit into something more "this century". **Peter later comes up with another idea, the Siamese twins aren't twins, but aliens. Everyone accedes to the idea, except for Lois, who hates what Peter is doing to the play. She thinks that nobody will show up to the play but is proven wrong when Meg and Chris tell everyone they sold out.

However, once they arrive, Peter sports an attitude that causes the manager to give their reservation to someone else, a move Peter later realizes will infuriate Lois. Meanwhile, Stewie misinterprets the meaning of his birthday and assumes that the same mysterious "Man in White" who delivered him as an infant will be returning to force Stewie back into Lois' womb from which he escaped just one year ago. Meg cries all the way home to Peter from cheerleading practice and has been having trouble fitting in at school. Later, she discovers a new friend named Jennifer.** Peter covers his mistake up by telling Lois that they don't need to have Stewie's party at Cheesie Charlie's because they are Nazis who torture, kill and kidnap people.

The Cult Leader chases after them while wearing his ceremonial white robe and is mistaken by Stewie as "The Man in White".

At a store, a man wearing a chicken suit asks Peter if he wants a coupon, but Peter refuses, recalling an incident in which he got an expired coupon from Ernie the Giant Chicken, resulting in a destructive fistfight. The man then warns Peter that the world will end because of the Y-2K problem, so Peter locks himself and the family in their basement in hazmat suits, despite Lois' objections.

## Biography

Stewart Gilligan Griffin was born on September 11th, 1998 to Lois and Peter Griffin. Dr. Hartman was the delivering doctor and the entire family is present

Brian is going through his safety deposit box at the bank and the two discuss a sweater, over which they begin to argue. As Stewie goes to leave, however, the door automatically shuts and locks, locking them in and causing Stewie to crap his diaper. They try calling for help, but to no avail. Stewie proposes that he can’t leave his diaper as it is and they ponder about what to do, Stewie concluding that Brian has to eat his poop, at which Brian is repulsed. Brian claims that he’d rather shoot himself - drawing attention to a gun in his box and causing a struggle for the weapon. Stewie gets it and threatens him with the gun, until they realize that Stewie has a mobile phone with a low battery. Unfortunately, Stewie wastes the last of the battery on calling a sweater store. Enraged, Brian slaps him, telling Stewie to go away. Feeling guilty, Brian gives in and says that he will eat his poop. Stewie undoes his overalls and they take his diaper off. Eventually Brian forces himself to eat it, the sight of which causes Stewie to vomit. Eating the vomit also, though willingly, Brian then braces himself and licks his butt. Brian wakes up first, retrieving a drink from his box. When quizzed about the drink, he offers Stewie liquor. They get buzzed and then drunk; Stewie dances whilst Brian joins in and falls on his face. Suddenly, Stewie requests that Brian pierce his ear and Brian agrees. As they prepare, Stewie talks about the bounty hunter and Brian lets slip that he voted for McCain. Ramming in the pin, it gets stuck, so Brian rips it out, causing excessive bleeding. Still drinking, Stewie asks if the dog whisperer is true and they proceed to converse about it, leading Brian to explain that dogs have purpose in their lives, including him. Stewie denying it in his case, the two argue to the point where Stewie claims that he uses Brian, that he has no purpose in life and that he only wanted Brian to eat his poop in order to see just how low he can go. Pulling the gun on Stewie, Stewie leads Brian to notice that a security camera has recorded footage of the poop-licking, much to the dismay of Brian. Jokingly, Stewie picks up the gun but it goes off, the bullet ricocheting around them and causing them to seek refuge under a table. The next morning, they awake. Stewie does stretches, noticing his ear in the process while Brian is reading. At this point Stewie reveals that he had had energy bars all along, which he shares. Curious, Stewie questions why Brian has a gun. Brian eventually admits that it was intended in case he wanted to commit suicide. He expresses that life is too much, that Stewie was right about not living with purpose and that he can’t find meaning in his life. The Scotch was for his last drink. When Stewie asks if suicide was the reason for their visit, Brian reveals that it was to deposit money in his Christmas account. Finally, Stewie claims that his only friend is Brian, that he means a lot to him after all and that Brian gives Stewie’s life purpose. Asking if Brian will read to him, he obliges, reading to Stewie. Waking up, the vault opens and Brian carries Stewie out. **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. 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.**
