What's really sad is I think there was real story potential with Vinny replacing Brian since _Family Guy_ doesn't really have a straight man and unlike Brian, I felt Vinny's wisdom actually came from real world experience. What a waste...
To be fair, Brian *used* to be the straight man in the early seasons. If anything, now Stewie is the biggest straight man on the show, constantly being put in a position to call out the other characters for being absolute dicks.
@@Directioner499 Realistically, that's just because Vinny didn't have a chance to grow so we were stuck with only a few episodes worth of portrayal. If he managed to stick around, he might've grown into a solid character.
Yeah, Vinny could have had potential to be the straight man Brian used to be in early seasons. Unfortunately for the like... Two and a half episodes he was present in, he was either offscreen or reduced to shitty Italian stereotype jokes the vast majority of the time. Because when they killed Brian, they never intended on leaving him dead.
I wish someone could have explained that to John K. When his cartoons are good, they are amazing. However he finds bodily secretions WAY funnier than I do.
That's the big damn problem with blue humor: it's the most lowbrow of all kinds of jokes and because it was basically outlawed from entertainment for several decades (see the Hays Code and Comics Code, where you couldn't even show a _toilet_ just for the implication of the nether regions being involved in something), it became so much more popular to use once it returned to mainstream comedy because now creators could use "edginess" and "subverting comedic norms" as an excuse. But while showing a penis or a fart in a cartoon was shocking (and thus funny) in the 1990s, it's pretty much the norm of adult animation today. You expect it. What's more, gross-out comedy was often still part of an actual joke. And that's something I think has fallen by the wayside in recent years: this idea that simply presenting something disgusting or offensive to you qualifies as a complete joke. At best, it's a tag to a joke, something you attach after the joke is already complete for extra _oomph._ Take Brickleberry or Alan Gregory: apparently, things that go "hump" in the night is the height of comedy. When all you're doing is showing us something. Not doing anything with it; just saying "here it is." It's very similar to reference-based comedy, where hack comedians think saying nouns that happen to also be things known throughout pop culture qualifies as a complete joke. It's relatable and gets a laugh because we find common ground, but this is so often confused for actual comedy that it's annoying. Yeah, we all fart, we all know vomit exists, and we all know what Star Wars is. Maybe you'd like to tell a joke, you degenerate?
Family Guy: gets cancelled, brought back and is still on to this day Futurama: gets cancelled TWICE and has now been gone for 5 years Says a lot about the world, doesn't it?
@@WillieManga It is implied that the universe was resetted to December 31st 1999. Since the first episode was played right after the last one. Considering the show's premise, it was darn funny.
@@Tabbimura I know about that because I saw the last episode's original airing. But how do you know it was reset to 1999? What if the first episode doesn't come after a repeat of the last episode? February 24, 2019, 7:41pm
This is why the Simpsons is great when it comes to the portrayal of death. Once the character dies, they do not revive them in the cannon series. They may appear during an occasional dream sequence, in memoriam, Tree House of Horror, or recollection, but they never return physically. Once they are dead, their death is treated with respect and reverence, with the exception of Frank Grimes.
@@GippyHappy Maude Flanders Bleeding Gums Murphy Homer's mom Fat Tony (though that was pointless, because he was immediately replaced by his identical cousin from the Land of Cheap Cop-Out Writing).
If they wanted to bring back Brian, they should've waited a season at least. South Park did it with Kenny for season 6, and even though we knew he would come back given his history, we got some really good episodes that explored the consequences of Kenny's death.
The commentary tracks from the southpark DVDs indicate the plan was to kill off kenny permanently, but the shows dynamic didn’t really work as well with the replacements they tried.
GeatMaster that and the fans love of him was so strong that they brought him back. Matt and Trey grew tired of the “They Killed Kenny!” joke which was why they did it in the first place. Then they developed him a good bit
I’ve heard that the original plan was that Kyle was going to be killed off in Season 5 so Stan could have his own identity rather than being just Kyle’s buddy. But that was scrapped and Kenny was the one who was killed off instead.
Family Guy crew: We're going to kill off Brian! And he's going to stay dead! Us: No he isn't. This is a stunt. Crew: Nuh-uh! Look, we even took him out of the opening sequence, he's gone forever and never coming back, it's so sad! Us: Whatever. Crew: Hah-HAH! It was all a ruse! We really got you, didn't we? You're all so lovably gullible. Us: *sipping tea* Mm-hmm.
And I quote: "I mean, you didn't really think we'd kill off Brian, did you? Jesus, we'd have to be fucking high." So yeah, Seth tried to teach us about being so gullible in such a terrible way.
They did the same thing with Stewie Kills Lois. Seth MacFarlane directly said "Stewie will really kill Lois." But of course, by the next episode she was back. And the explanation (in the show's own words): "She wasn't really dead."
Me, who saw the title "Brian's a Bad Father" weeks before "Life of Brian" aired. "Yeah, it's not like you list your episode titles before the episodes air and we can see what you're doing is fake."
I liked Vinnie a hell of a lot more than Brian. For the very few episodes he was in, they proved him to be a much more grounded, respectable character (especially better than the Brian in the episodes following him being brought back to life). I just wish they kept Brian dead and integrated Vinnie into the show honestly. While at one point Brian was a likeable, decent character, any semblance of humanity Brian had before has long been snuffed out. Vinnie would have made an excellent long-term, if not permanent replacement for a character the writers destroyed.
@@robertsimon2885 It was because it was too much of a change too quickly. Any fanbase will react negatively to such a change. They introduced Vinny so abruptly _just_ so fans would hate him and want Brian back. It's not very fitting and it's just the one on the top of my head because I'm not humaning right now, but remember Game Grumps after Jon left in 2013 and they continued on as if nothing happened? It was _jarring_ and people _despised_ Dan for about a year afterwards and hoped he was just a temporary replacement. Now most people can't imagine Game Grumps without Dan. It took a while, and it wasn't until Jon's controversy that most of the lingering resentment faded, but the change was complete. If there were a longer easing in period, I bet some of those negative feelings wouldn't have been so stark. Vinny could've and should've played out better if there was any creativity left in the show. Kill Brian at the _end_ of the episode, have a few episodes where the Griffins are crushed and decide to look for a new dog because their whole dynamic has been thrown out of whack (an actually good reason to redo the Seashore Seashell Party thing without the BS attached), then have Vinny, and then soldier on until any lingering hesitation about the show has changed. Yeah, you'll get viewers who'll split the show into the Brian Era and the Vinny Era, but that's good, that shows people care enough about the show to begin with. And they just *_fuck't_* it up right out of the gate. Like a horse with its legs tied at a race speeding.
Honestly it would be better if Christmas Guy was the series finale so that the series would have a happy ending and we wouldn't have to worry about anymore terrible Family Guy episodes.
The only happy ending would be Peter finally going to jail for his numerous crimes against the city of Quahog, getting the death penalty, Meg finally fucking standing up for herself and leaving the family, and celebrating his death. Then I will be content. Then I will be happy.
Brian being killed off and being brought back to life isn't when Family Guy jumped the shark, it had already jumped the shark long before then. Probably as early as "Not All Dogs Go to Heaven", definitely by "Seashore Seashell Party". This is what happens when a show has already jumped the shark, and wants to jump it again. And then it acts surprised when the shark actually bites it this time.
Having survived its own cancellation (twice), Family Guy can't be killed. You know it, I know it, and maybe Seth Macfarlane realized it to his horror. I feel he intentionally allowed bad episodes at times, hoping ratings will drop far enough to cancel it. Yet Fox refuses to let it go, and he's latched to it permanently, cause what else can he do?
4:55 Hahaha! See? Home Alone would have been over much quicker if they just shot Kevin! Who else has made that incredibly witty observation? Oh... a hundred thousand people. In the last thirty seconds.
That cutaway never made sense because in the movie it is implied Harry and Marv had originally NO intention at all to phisically harm Kevin. They only wanted to do so after they started getting hurt by the traps. They at first only simply wanted to rob the house and most likely leave town.
FOX could've made its own decision to cancel Family Guy back in the later 2000s rather than let it go so that they could allow Seth McFarlane to make it as all-around bitter as possible.
I can't agree with you more about Brian. He has gradually become, in my opinion, the worst member of the main cast. He's selfish, egotistical, and more than willing to lie, cheat, and take credit for the work of others to get what he wants, most often without a shred of remorse, or admitting that he did anything wrong.
@@KeyBladeMaster-Dan Me too. The Comedy Central episodes were signs of a show showing their age. I'm glad they can't accumulate zombie episodes. At least *King of the Hill* got a proper ending after all Fox did to try and kill them both *Silver Spoons/Punky Brewster* style by putting them up against *60 Minutes* and after football.
It is a shame with what the writers have done with Brian the last decade. He was my favorite character in the first three seasons, but after "Not All Dogs Go To Heaven," he quickly became one of, if not, the worst character in animation history. At least when SpongeBob ruined Patrick's character, the writers learned from their mistakes and tried to make him more of a caring person, but they kept Patrick as stupid as he was in Seasons 7 and 8.
The only thing I never got more in the episode is why didn’t they ever investigate or look into who was the person driving the car and ran him over. They just let that slide.
They even pointed this out. One of the characters yelled at Joe to investigate the killing. "You find the man who did this, you bring him to justice! You make sure this angel child didn't die for nothing! You show the world why you became a cop!" That was a very good point. Who the hell did it? Yeah, I know, Seth MacFarlane killed him off, but who was in that car in the cartoon? Was it Quagmire?
2 things: 1st thing: It is very disrespectful that that the writers brought the dog so soon after the death of him, kind of an insult to the people watching the series. 2nd thing: I like the ending of the video quite a bit.
They already had the episodes planned for months, and then released them, so the people who wrote petitions and stuff saying bring Brian back; was just BS, because they were going to bring him back regardless.
@@booklover4330 you do know we are saying exactly the same thing, right... Looking back at my comment, I can see why you're defensive if you didn't get what I meant so I'll just spell it out... My initial comment was meant to be: "I cringe at people who don't understand what you state in your comment." I cringe at people who foolishly thinks a fully animated episode can be made on the spot in two measly weeks when it takes months or a year to fully animate an episode, and that amount of time is actually very short considering how much tedious, hard work it takes to animate *anything* I've met dozens of people who firmly believe that Family Guy decided to bring Brian back after the episode, or Family Guy brought Brian back because of the dumb "save brian" petitions, when it was very obvious how they pre-planned his death AND his return long in advance. Anyways, I meant to agree and echo your comment, not correct you because you've said nothing incorrect.
A lot of adult cartoons fail at there humor. "Shock value because we can" is not funny. A joke even an uncensored one that doesn't pull punches needs a proper set up. Too often the only reason the shocking stuff happens is because the writers are immature and they know they can get away with it. Adult humor done right is more often found in Anime. If I had to praise an adult show for being funny most of the time even when its shocking I would go with Early Simpsons, The Critic, King of the Hill, Daria, Celebrity Death Match, Samurai Jack and any other show I would want to give my approval to I either never watched or the series ended in less then a season. To many cartoons want to be "Pokey's" when "Deadpool" was way smarter and funnier and a better example.
Japanese cartoons are even worse about it though. It's usually just "What a wacky child rapist! He's wacky because he rapes children! Gotta love that guy for raping children!"
@@D_YellowMadness I have latterly never seen that in an anime. The Anime I see has reasons why the mature content happens. American shows just vomit and bleed and make boobie jokes because they can.
D YellowMadness Where did you see that sort of joke ever made? Yes, Japanese stuff tends to treat sexual material a good deal more casually than Americans due to cultural dissonance, but from what I’ve seen, it mostly seems to be sexual innuendo and fanservice and less actual sex. If you think something like what you said is more likely to appear in anime than something like Family Guy or Mr Pickles, you are absolutely barking up the wrong tree!
@@yogrannypopxanny9632 but it did something no other ratings trap ever did, instead of getting new viewers onto the show, it showed that family guy has no guts
I miss the Brian we had before Family Guy went downhill. THAT'S the Brian that deserved to be mourned. It always pains me to see the Brian we're stuck with now because I remember when it was actually possible to like and even occasionally feel sorry for this character.
@@pillowcasecorner7519 Is he one of those that thinks he needs to copy/paste the same reply on different comments in the hopes of starting an argument over nothing? Because that's what he struck me as XD
Silver Feral Thunderbird Pretty much. It’s one of those people who think we need a “differing opinion” even if it makes no sense. I mean it’s one thing to say the show isn’t that bad but to deny how Brian has changed over the years is delusional.
if they want a character dead and build it up so dramatically, they should wait a few seasons until they bring it back otherwise lots of family guy fans will get really agitated, because a character's death should always impact the audience no matter what.
I guess. If that's what they wanted, they shouldn't have had Stewie travel back in time from his other self who traveled forward in time to Christmas, who came from a time before Stewie destroyed his time machine.
Honestly the last season of Roseanne being retconned as a dream was a GOOD move. Most people HATED that season. My immediate reaction to finding out about it when they rebooted it was to laugh and go "That's gonna make alot of people happy.". This? This was bullshit, who actually thinks as of now that it was a good idea?
@@PhoenixRising87 Actually the Reboot retconned that entire season as a dream, even the part where it was just her writing that story. That entire season basically didn't happen.
12:51 I agree, my second favorite episode of South Park is "Kenny Dies" even though Kenny is my favorite character. You know why? Because they didn't make his death as graphic as possible and portray the character's reactions very realistically. Also, Kenny is a good person, sure he kind of a perv but he's never really hurt anyone. And, the next season revolved around Stan, Kyle, and Cartman trying to fill the void and dealing with his death. And finally, they kept him dead for a whole season not two episodes which showed they had some balls.
You should review "That's Too Much Man" from Bojack Horseman considering it delivers a similar message, but with much more respect. I think reviewing that episode with the goal of comparing it to this one would really help sink in the point you're trying to make in this video.
@@Suckmynards9000 Nah, smart plots, never. *Looks at Review of The Choices and The Shell, The Telescope, Homer Badman, Meet the Robinsons, Perfect, Test of the Tested, The Goode Family, and several more I don't feel like mentioning.* None whatsoever, can't think of any.
Bojack is a mix of overarching and intelligently put together plots with characters fleshed out with such detail they have freckles and 5 o’clock shadows. To fully experience the passing of Sarah Lynn you have understand the relation between her and Bojack. To fully get the episode you need multiple seasons worth just to get past through the drug trip. The show is literally hit after hit after hit to the head until you end up with cumulative head trauma only to go through recovery and head immediately back into the ring for a knockout blow strait the the face one more time. It’s something he’d basically have to make a series around
The one thing I like about modern Family Guy is the "Double D Day" scene from the episode where Stewie and Brian take Chris on a trip through time to help him study for his History test. Not because I find it funny, but because it gave me a great idea for a comic.
Something about the way you said "I have been duped" was just so perfect that I actually had to take a few minutes to stop laughing. It made the overly long build up totally worth it XD
@@isobelmiller7464 Well no, but would it be so surprising if they go there to explain away the personality change and end up doing an Exorcism episode to fix Brian's character later on?
@@fandomguy8025 Oh it would be so horrible... That's the only funny thing about this. If they dare to do a retcon like that, after realizing they screwed up BADLY with Brian, to save his character. They would just end up failing in the process 5+ years to late.
@kristian rikardsen Me? Of course not! XD That twist would be so bad that the outrage from Brian's death and revival would seem like small childish temper tantrum compared to a WTF reveal like "Brian was possessed by a demon this whole tiiiiime" Like if they would of planned this, it would of been revealed in the same season, in a story act, or at the very least in a cliffhanger ending of the last episode of that season, but Family Guy doesn't have serialized season long story acts. So no, I'm not serious. It could of been an interesting idea, but it's waaaay to late to even dare to try doing it now XD
Personally i think brian should get an episode but it goes into his own mind and we see the old moral brand brian talk to his future brian self and see what hes become and then get better.
Thing is... Didn't they do this plot a gazillion times better with that one episode where Stewie and Brian get locked into a bank vault and they discuss the ramifications of suicide? And didn't that episode end on a straight heartwarmer because the emotion felt way more fuckin natural?
Meg: Yes, Brian. God makes ug|y people. I can't hope to fathom the infinite creature but without ugly, wouldn't there be no beauty? How can we call something beautiful if everything is equally visually pleasing? Life is so complex with all it's variations.
Brian (and Seth MacFarlane by extension due to Brian being Seth's author avatar) in Family Guy uses the Problem of Evil and the Argument from Ugliness to "dEbUnK" religion. Truly, Seth MacFarlane is a trillby-tipper from the 2000's.
Seth MacFarlane has become the Joe Quesada of animation, ruining his work with a stupid retcon and openly mocking the viewers who were angered that he would do such an obviously terrible thing.
Then they could have developed Vinnie more as a character and give him different character traits from Brian. The Simpsons had Barney sober up in Season 11 and he stayed that way for 4 seasons. December 22, 2018, 4:23pm

@@KnakuanaRka To be fair, Brian used to be likable but Seth wants to kill Family Guy again so he can persue other things so he's killing the characters we used to love by killing their humanity.

I agree. Like the Road to episodes and some non Road-to episodes. But certainly not Herpe the Love Sore or Stewie is you-know-what. December 22, 2018, 3:05pm
"Family Guy" began to suck when Stewie and Brian were turned into the main characters of the show. They don't work as best friends, they work as two characters who are very different, but share one thing in common - They talk, which is something babies and dogs don't normally do, and they're placed in the wrong situation at the wrong time. Making them best friends, to me, ruins that dynamic. 99% of the show is Brian and Stewie now, which ruins the original purpose of the show. "Family Guy" worked because it had an ensemble cast, of characters that all had individual stories that showed us who the characters were, and allowed room for growth and development. Brian and Stewie episodes were once a cream filled snack you would get once a season. But starting from Season 7, most of the other characters were reduced to extras, and it became the "Brian and Stewie Show", to which the novelty worn off and it was a major factor in the show's decline. It also doesn't help that they have both suffered the worst character changes on the show.
It almost feels like Family Guy tried to take a page out of Its Always Sunny's book -- Dennis is the "worst" human being on that show yet a clear favorite among fans. Most of this has to do with Glenn Howerton's delivery, though. Problem is, barring the first season of that show where the characters were blank slates, Sunny locked in their personalities early on. Dennis got more and more sociopathic, but it wasn't a complete about-face, just a "dial up to 11" of the same base character. By contrast, everyone on Family Guy's been completely rewritten over the years. Remember when Stewie was a matricidal evil genius and now he's essentially just a short adult bisexual who occasionally has a Rick and Morty-style sci-fi adventure (which are few and far between?) The Simpsons suffer even worse from this now in that the characters *have* no character, they just behave however the joke dictates. I swear there was one this season where Homer spent 7 minutes doing an impression of Richard Burton's character from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe. Marge was openly flirting with a young guy in front of Homer all so that she could deliver Elizabeth Taylor's lines in response. This went on for a whole scene...
It’s real. It’s called “Stewie is Enceinte”. I watched it before I got standards and I only remember them making the babies mutant abominations. Nothing much else.
If they wanted a message about not taking loved ones for granted by killing Brian off, they should have let him stay dead. It would have made that episode stronger.
There was another episode back in 2010. Where Brian and Stewie get locked in a bank vault. And Stewie had Brian eat his poopy diaper. The show is just about trying to offend or gross out. And then even go further with it.
Admirables are mostly reserved for stuff that’s been overlooked and underrated, and Enter in general doesn’t like talking about stuff that lots of other people have already covered (his reason he’ll never review Foodfight!, amongst other things); Hilda is already the recent major topic, so that wouldn’t really fit on his list.
like, couldn't they at least pretend to keep him dead? I mean, animation takes a long time and a season is usually finished by the time the first episode airs. His comeback could have been the opener to the next season, at least they could pretend they were nice for bringing him back. They didn't even give people enough time to actually get used to the idea of him being dead. But even if they stuck with it.... we had Vinnie, which is basically brian with an italian accent. So not much would have changed except the name.
You mentioned how some of this episode was just filler. Have you seen the recent episode "Con Heiress" where a lot of the episode is just the characters saying a really long name?
PooDoo DrillDick Comedy isn’t a long name. Comedy is supposed to have intelligence and wit to it. A long name isn’t funny. It’s just a long name to burn through time. Comedy should be funny.
Was I the only one NOT fooled by Brian’s death. At the time, I hadn’t watched Family Guy for a while as the show had actually pissed me off a bit. This almost tempted me, but then I thought nah, not worth it..... Then Brian was brought back, I wasn’t surprised.
@Mineta is thanos Rick and Morty stops being funny when you realize how samey it is. The characters are all stereotypes too, just not comedy stereotypes.
4:51 The Principal and the Pauper and That 90s Show. I loath That 90s Show because it’s been well-established Homer and Marge met in the 70s and Marge was in love with Artie Ziff before she met Homer and his appearances later in the show.
Brian actually never told Meg to keep allowing her family to abuse her. In fact he said if they're going to wallow and turn on each other after she finally stood up for herself then that was their problem, not hers. Meg herself actually said that maybe she should remain being abused by them. The only mistake Brian made was suggesting How brave that was.
Yeah...but what he did (letting her believe it was totally fine to stay with her abusers because they'd fall apart without her and even calling that decision "noble") is arguably much worse. And somehow, he's considered the voice of reason (when any responsible adult in that situation would have slapped her face into reality (not literally, of course), given her the phone number of a shelter and recommended taking her parents to court for emancipation).
He's forgetting all those petitions that came out as soon as it happened to bring Brian back. Im sure that was the plan all along, but it's not like they didn't do what the fans wanted

ULTRADJ Gross out jokes can work if it's done in a creative way. Family Guy did not do this gross out joke in a creative way.
I say instead of making something gross, make something funny first and if it happens to be gross, so be it.
That's the big damn problem with blue humor: it's the most lowbrow of all kinds of jokes and because it was basically outlawed from entertainment for several decades (see the Hays Code and Comics Code, where you couldn't even show a _toilet_ just for the implication of the nether regions being involved in something), it became so much more popular to use once it returned to mainstream comedy because now creators could use "edginess" and "subverting comedic norms" as an excuse.
But while showing a penis or a fart in a cartoon was shocking (and thus funny) in the 1990s, it's pretty much the norm of adult animation today. You expect it. What's more, gross-out comedy was often still part of an actual joke.
And that's something I think has fallen by the wayside in recent years: this idea that simply presenting something disgusting or offensive to you qualifies as a complete joke. At best, it's a tag to a joke, something you attach after the joke is already complete for extra _oomph._
Take Brickleberry or Alan Gregory: apparently, things that go "hump" in the night is the height of comedy. When all you're doing is showing us something. Not doing anything with it; just saying "here it is."
It's very similar to reference-based comedy, where hack comedians think saying nouns that happen to also be things known throughout pop culture qualifies as a complete joke. It's relatable and gets a laugh because we find common ground, but this is so often confused for actual comedy that it's annoying. Yeah, we all fart, we all know vomit exists, and we all know what Star Wars is. Maybe you'd like to tell a joke, you degenerate?

This is why the Simpsons is great when it comes to the portrayal of death. Once the character dies, they do not revive them in the cannon series. They may appear during an occasional dream sequence, in memoriam, Tree House of Horror, or recollection, but they never return physically. Once they are dead, their death is treated with respect and reverence, with the exception of Frank Grimes.
agree
They do pull revives in Treehouse of Horor sometimes. Though those don't count I guess.
@@Tabbimura Treehouse of Horror are designed to be fun, non-canon stories, so nah.
Who dies in the Simpsons?
@@GippyHappy Maude Flanders
Bleeding Gums Murphy

Fat Tony (though that was pointless, because he was immediately replaced by his identical cousin from the Land of Cheap Cop-Out Writing).
If they wanted to bring back Brian, they should've waited a season at least. South Park did it with Kenny for season 6, and even though we knew he would come back given his history, we got some really good episodes that explored the consequences of Kenny's death.
The commentary tracks from the southpark DVDs indicate the plan was to kill off kenny permanently, but the shows dynamic didn’t really work as well with the replacements they tried.
GeatMaster that and the fans love of him was so strong that they brought him back. Matt and Trey grew tired of the “They Killed Kenny!” joke which was why they did it in the first place. Then they developed him a good bit
I’ve heard that the original plan was that Kyle was going to be killed off in Season 5 so Stan could have his own identity rather than being just Kyle’s buddy. But that was scrapped and Kenny was the one who was killed off instead.
I would've lost my mind.
Family Guy crew: We're going to kill off Brian! And he's going to stay dead!
Us: No he isn't. This is a stunt.
Crew: Nuh-uh! Look, we even took him out of the opening sequence, he's gone forever and never coming back, it's so sad!
Us: Whatever.
Crew: Hah-HAH! It was all a ruse! We really got you, didn't we? You're all so lovably gullible.
Us: *sipping tea* Mm-hmm.
And I quote:
"I mean, you didn't really think we'd kill off Brian, did you? Jesus, we'd have to be fucking high."
So yeah, Seth tried to teach us about being so gullible in such a terrible way.
The sad thing is some ppl actually did believe it. Some geezer got a tattoo of Brian as a memory thing
They did the same thing with Stewie Kills Lois. Seth MacFarlane directly said "Stewie will really kill Lois."
But of course, by the next episode she was back. And the explanation (in the show's own words): "She wasn't really dead."
Me, who saw the title "Brian's a Bad Father" weeks before "Life of Brian" aired.
"Yeah, it's not like you list your episode titles before the episodes air and we can see what you're doing is fake."
Ew
Tea is disgusting
I liked Vinnie a hell of a lot more than Brian. For the very few episodes he was in, they proved him to be a much more grounded, respectable character (especially better than the Brian in the episodes following him being brought back to life). I just wish they kept Brian dead and integrated Vinnie into the show honestly.
While at one point Brian was a likeable, decent character, any semblance of humanity Brian had before has long been snuffed out. Vinnie would have made an excellent long-term, if not permanent replacement for a character the writers destroyed.
Shivering Stencil If it wasn’t for the fans, we would’ve gotten more of him.
@@robertsimon2885 It was because it was too much of a change too quickly. Any fanbase will react negatively to such a change. They introduced Vinny so abruptly _just_ so fans would hate him and want Brian back.
It's not very fitting and it's just the one on the top of my head because I'm not humaning right now, but remember Game Grumps after Jon left in 2013 and they continued on as if nothing happened? It was _jarring_ and people _despised_ Dan for about a year afterwards and hoped he was just a temporary replacement. Now most people can't imagine Game Grumps without Dan. It took a while, and it wasn't until Jon's controversy that most of the lingering resentment faded, but the change was complete. If there were a longer easing in period, I bet some of those negative feelings wouldn't have been so stark.
Vinny could've and should've played out better if there was any creativity left in the show. Kill Brian at the _end_ of the episode, have a few episodes where the Griffins are crushed and decide to look for a new dog because their whole dynamic has been thrown out of whack (an actually good reason to redo the Seashore Seashell Party thing without the BS attached), then have Vinny, and then soldier on until any lingering hesitation about the show has changed. Yeah, you'll get viewers who'll split the show into the Brian Era and the Vinny Era, but that's good, that shows people care enough about the show to begin with.
And they just *_fuck't_* it up right out of the gate. Like a horse with its legs tied at a race speeding.
Why not have Brian and Vinnie interact with one another?
@@robertsimon2885 Not really. Christmas Guy was written before Life of Brian aired. That's how animation production works.
Exactly
Honestly it would be better if Christmas Guy was the series finale so that the series would have a happy ending and we wouldn't have to worry about anymore terrible Family Guy episodes.
Awesome JCR the only ending that would be considered happy for this show, would be a nuke destroying quahog, and killing everyone in it.
@@michaelbremer35 Agreed.
Except Stewie, who actually launched the nuke and finishes off his evil plan to destroy the world and lives happily ever after.
The End.
The only happy ending would be Peter finally going to jail for his numerous crimes against the city of Quahog, getting the death penalty, Meg finally fucking standing up for herself and leaving the family, and celebrating his death. Then I will be content. Then I will be happy.
Facts.
I love that there are more discs with Vinny on it then there are episodes with Vinny in it

Josiah The GamerArtist (Sees future Stewie save him) F@&$!!!
Brian being killed off and being brought back to life isn't when Family Guy jumped the shark, it had already jumped the shark long before then. Probably as early as "Not All Dogs Go to Heaven", definitely by "Seashore Seashell Party".
This is what happens when a show has already jumped the shark, and wants to jump it again. And then it acts surprised when the shark actually bites it this time.
What about 420? That one's right next to Not All Dogs Go to Heaven. February 18, 2019, 6:36am
Having survived its own cancellation (twice), Family Guy can't be killed. You know it, I know it, and maybe Seth Macfarlane realized it to his horror. I feel he intentionally allowed bad episodes at times, hoping ratings will drop far enough to cancel it. Yet Fox refuses to let it go, and he's latched to it permanently, cause what else can he do?
That's why they should stop making bad episodes to cancel Family Guy. December 22, 2018, 11:02pm
You're just making that up.
He’s making Mac N’ Cheese... and NOBODY can stop him!

That cutaway never made sense because in the movie it is implied Harry and Marv had originally NO intention at all to phisically harm Kevin. They only wanted to do so after they started getting hurt by the traps. They at first only simply wanted to rob the house and most likely leave town.

I think that Seth McFarlane is purposefully doing whatever he can to ruin Family Guy so that Fox will finally cancel it for good
FOX could've made its own decision to cancel Family Guy back in the later 2000s rather than let it go so that they could allow Seth McFarlane to make it as all-around bitter as possible.
He doesn't write the show. He's written a handful of early episodes iirc.
Even he doesn’t want the show around anymore.
I could tell that's been the case since Season 10 when they played domestic abuse for comedy.
It's like in Stephen Kings 'Pet Semetary'. Our dog died, we wished him back, but when he came back he was just... wrong.
Oh, Family Guy...WHY? How could you make us hate Brian after wanting him back for so long? Why did you do that? February 20, 2019, 4:00pm
That's where the saying, Sometimes, Dead Is Better comes to mind.
I can't agree with you more about Brian. He has gradually become, in my opinion, the worst member of the main cast. He's selfish, egotistical, and more than willing to lie, cheat, and take credit for the work of others to get what he wants, most often without a shred of remorse, or admitting that he did anything wrong.
A lot of that is wrong. Go hate Pear from The Annoying Orange or something. Pear isn't a character to obsess over.
@@kylecianciulli8842 The number of thumbs-ups my comment got suggests otherwise.
He wasn’t like that in seasons 3-6.
It still bothers me to this day that Futurama's canceled but not Family Guy
Eh Futurama had an actual ending and i'm personally glad it went before it could end up like The Simpsons
It bothers me that futurama existed at all.
@@KeyBladeMaster-Dan Me too. The Comedy Central episodes were signs of a show showing their age. I'm glad they can't accumulate zombie episodes. At least *King of the Hill* got a proper ending after all Fox did to try and kill them both *Silver Spoons/Punky Brewster* style by putting them up against *60 Minutes* and after football.
As I’ve said for years, you either die a Gravity Falls or you live long enough to see yourself become a Family Guy.
Yuhuan It bothers me this comment exists
It is a shame with what the writers have done with Brian the last decade. He was my favorite character in the first three seasons, but after "Not All Dogs Go To Heaven," he quickly became one of, if not, the worst character in animation history. At least when SpongeBob ruined Patrick's character, the writers learned from their mistakes and tried to make him more of a caring person, but they kept Patrick as stupid as he was in Seasons 7 and 8.
He still is. He is not the worst character in history!
The only thing I never got more in the episode is why didn’t they ever investigate or look into who was the person driving the car and ran him over. They just let that slide.
It's probably because he is a dog
It was Ajit Pai
They even pointed this out. One of the characters yelled at Joe to investigate the killing. "You find the man who did this, you bring him to justice! You make sure this angel child didn't die for nothing! You show the world why you became a cop!" That was a very good point. Who the hell did it? Yeah, I know, Seth MacFarlane killed him off, but who was in that car in the cartoon? Was it Quagmire?
@@kylecianciulli8842 Ajit is kinda sus
To be fair, you can cut out half of ANY Family Guy episode and still lose nothing of value.
And nothing of value was lost.
2 things:
1st thing: It is very disrespectful that that the writers brought the dog so soon after the death of him, kind of an insult to the people watching the series.
2nd thing: I like the ending of the video quite a bit.
They already had the episodes planned for months, and then released them, so the people who wrote petitions and stuff saying bring Brian back; was just BS, because they were going to bring him back regardless.
I cringe at people who don't understand this.... A family guy episode does NOT take two freaking weeks to make....
@@booklover4330 like I said, does *NOT* take two freakin' weeks to make an episode.
@@booklover4330 you do know we are saying exactly the same thing, right... Looking back at my comment, I can see why you're defensive if you didn't get what I meant so I'll just spell it out...
My initial comment was meant to be: "I cringe at people who don't understand what you state in your comment." I cringe at people who foolishly thinks a fully animated episode can be made on the spot in two measly weeks when it takes months or a year to fully animate an episode, and that amount of time is actually very short considering how much tedious, hard work it takes to animate *anything*
I've met dozens of people who firmly believe that Family Guy decided to bring Brian back after the episode, or Family Guy brought Brian back because of the dumb "save brian" petitions, when it was very obvious how they pre-planned his death AND his return long in advance.
Anyways, I meant to agree and echo your comment, not correct you because you've said nothing incorrect.
A lot of adult cartoons fail at there humor. "Shock value because we can" is not funny. A joke even an uncensored one that doesn't pull punches needs a proper set up. Too often the only reason the shocking stuff happens is because the writers are immature and they know they can get away with it. Adult humor done right is more often found in Anime. If I had to praise an adult show for being funny most of the time even when its shocking I would go with Early Simpsons, The Critic, King of the Hill, Daria, Celebrity Death Match, Samurai Jack and any other show I would want to give my approval to I either never watched or the series ended in less then a season. To many cartoons want to be "Pokey's" when "Deadpool" was way smarter and funnier and a better example.
Japanese cartoons are even worse about it though. It's usually just "What a wacky child rapist! He's wacky because he rapes children! Gotta love that guy for raping children!"
@@D_YellowMadness I have latterly never seen that in an anime. The Anime I see has reasons why the mature content happens. American shows just vomit and bleed and make boobie jokes because they can.
Your opinion, m8.
@@D_YellowMadness Could just be a cultural thing (or Values Dissonance, as TV Tropes would describe it).
D YellowMadness Where did you see that sort of joke ever made? Yes, Japanese stuff tends to treat sexual material a good deal more casually than Americans due to cultural dissonance, but from what I’ve seen, it mostly seems to be sexual innuendo and fanservice and less actual sex. If you think something like what you said is more likely to appear in anime than something like Family Guy or Mr Pickles, you are absolutely barking up the wrong tree!

Silver Feral Thunderbird Pretty much. It’s one of those people who think we need a “differing opinion” even if it makes no sense. I mean it’s one thing to say the show isn’t that bad but to deny how Brian has changed over the years is delusional.
if they want a character dead and build it up so dramatically, they should wait a few seasons until they bring it back otherwise lots of family guy fans will get really agitated, because a character's death should always impact the audience no matter what.

John Porteous yes it was
Explain to me the list.
At least, if they had brought back Brian in a "Pet Sematary", at least it could have been a "Be careful what you wish for" at least.
I guess. If that's what they wanted, they shouldn't have had Stewie travel back in time from his other self who traveled forward in time to Christmas, who came from a time before Stewie destroyed his time machine.
Honestly the last season of Roseanne being retconned as a dream was a GOOD move.
Most people HATED that season.
My immediate reaction to finding out about it when they rebooted it was to laugh and go "That's gonna make alot of people happy.".

This was bullshit, who actually thinks as of now that it was a good idea?

That entire season basically didn't happen.
@@ShadowWolfRising I...don't acknowledge the reboot...
12:51 I agree, my second favorite episode of South Park is "Kenny Dies" even though Kenny is my favorite character. You know why? Because they didn't make his death as graphic as possible and portray the character's reactions very realistically. Also, Kenny is a good person, sure he kind of a perv but he's never really hurt anyone. And, the next season revolved around Stan, Kyle, and Cartman trying to fill the void and dealing with his death. And finally, they kept him dead for a whole season not two episodes which showed they had some balls.
You should review "That's Too Much Man" from Bojack Horseman considering it delivers a similar message, but with much more respect. I think reviewing that episode with the goal of comparing it to this one would really help sink in the point you're trying to make in this video.

Bojack is a mix of overarching and intelligently put together plots with characters fleshed out with such detail they have freckles and 5 o’clock shadows.
To fully experience the passing of Sarah Lynn you have understand the relation between her and Bojack. To fully get the episode you need multiple seasons worth just to get past through the drug trip.

The one thing I like about modern Family Guy is the "Double D Day" scene from the episode where Stewie and Brian take Chris on a trip through time to help him study for his History test. Not because I find it funny, but because it gave me a great idea for a comic.

@@BassiKun99 *the best
"Family Guy" began to suck when Stewie and Brian were turned into the main characters of the show. They don't work as best friends, they work as two characters who are very different, but share one thing in common - They talk, which is something babies and dogs don't normally do, and they're placed in the wrong situation at the wrong time. Making them best friends, to me, ruins that dynamic. 99% of the show is Brian and Stewie now, which ruins the original purpose of the show. "Family Guy" worked because it had an ensemble cast, of characters that all had individual stories that showed us who the characters were, and allowed room for growth and development. Brian and Stewie episodes were once a cream filled snack you would get once a season. But starting from Season 7, most of the other characters were reduced to extras, and it became the "Brian and Stewie Show", to which the novelty worn off and it was a major factor in the show's decline. It also doesn't help that they have both suffered the worst character changes on the show.
@@BassiKun99 This show used to be good until .
It almost feels like Family Guy tried to take a page out of Its Always Sunny's book -- Dennis is the "worst" human being on that show yet a clear favorite among fans. Most of this has to do with Glenn Howerton's delivery, though. Problem is, barring the first season of that show where the characters were blank slates, Sunny locked in their personalities early on. Dennis got more and more sociopathic, but it wasn't a complete about-face, just a "dial up to 11" of the same base character. By contrast, everyone on Family Guy's been completely rewritten over the years. Remember when Stewie was a matricidal evil genius and now he's essentially just a short adult bisexual who occasionally has a Rick and Morty-style sci-fi adventure (which are few and far between?) The Simpsons suffer even worse from this now in that the characters *have* no character, they just behave however the joke dictates. I swear there was one this season where Homer spent 7 minutes doing an impression of Richard Burton's character from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe. Marge was openly flirting with a young guy in front of Homer all so that she could deliver Elizabeth Taylor's lines in response. This went on for a whole scene...
Funny enough, I actually kinda predicted that Brian would be brought back via time travel, just not in the way it was done in this episode.
Wouldn't it be fun if the finally of Family guy had every single character die on screen
"People still want me to review the episode where Stewie becomes pregnant with Brian's puppies."
....I'm sorry, *what* did you just say?
It’s real. It’s called “Stewie is Enceinte”. I watched it before I got standards and I only remember them making the babies mutant abominations. Nothing much else.
If they wanted a message about not taking loved ones for granted by killing Brian off, they should have let him stay dead. It would have made that episode stronger.
There was another episode back in 2010. Where Brian and Stewie get locked in a bank vault. And Stewie had Brian eat his poopy diaper. The show is just about trying to offend or gross out. And then even go further with it.
Even the description on the DVD did Meg dirty
Who cares about Meg? She’s just a boring human with no personality.
Hey Enter when will you do an Admirable Animation for Hilda?
I feel like Admirable Animation should be something more overlooked rather that the hot cartoon of the now, regardless of quality.
Also Admirable Animation:Squid Noir
Admirables are mostly reserved for stuff that’s been overlooked and underrated, and Enter in general doesn’t like talking about stuff that lots of other people have already covered (his reason he’ll never review Foodfight!, amongst other things); Hilda is already the recent major topic, so that wouldn’t really fit on his list.
The way MrEnter talked in the Mac and Cheese segment was hilarious. XD
People should make animatics about it. While that and his trailer for his Wacky (Wild) World Of Modern PSAs video.
Feels like you're discussing Life of Brian far more then Christmas Guy.
I know. He just reviewed that episode 5 years before Christmas Guy! What gives, dude? February 20, 2019, 3:48pm
New Brian = modern Patrick
It´s scary how calm Enter is in these new episodes.
16:45 Fidget Spooner
like, couldn't they at least pretend to keep him dead?
I mean, animation takes a long time and a season is usually finished by the time the first episode airs.
His comeback could have been the opener to the next season, at least they could pretend they were nice for bringing him back. They didn't even give people enough time to actually get used to the idea of him being dead.
But even if they stuck with it.... we had Vinnie, which is basically brian with an italian accent. So not much would have changed except the name.
The eggnog bit was uncomfortable I agree, but I can't stand Carter and find that scene to be wholly karmic.
Also, DELIVERY!!!!
You mentioned how some of this episode was just filler. Have you seen the recent episode "Con Heiress" where a lot of the episode is just the characters saying a really long name?
Yep. I saw that. It took 45 seconds each time to read Margaret's name. December 22, 2018, 4:13pm
Its almost like the show is about comedy and your taking the jokes too seriously
That heiress's long name was pretty funny.
PooDoo DrillDick Comedy isn’t a long name. Comedy is supposed to have intelligence and wit to it. A long name isn’t funny. It’s just a long name to burn through time. Comedy should be funny.
Just because a show is a comedy, that doesn't excuse it for being AWFUL at it!
Was I the only one NOT fooled by Brian’s death. At the time, I hadn’t watched Family Guy for a while as the show had actually pissed me off a bit.
This almost tempted me, but then I thought nah, not worth it.....
Then Brian was brought back, I wasn’t surprised.
I remember people who got RIP Brian and Bring Brian back petitions, and then he came back two weeks later...
Those people must feel so stupid.
If you want a good adult cartoon that has great animation, good comedy, and likable charters I recommend Camp Camp.
@Mineta is thanos Rick and Morty stops being funny when you realize how samey it is. The characters are all stereotypes too, just not comedy stereotypes.
I love camp camp!!!
Family Guy has been dead since after the episode Long John Peter.
That episode premiered 10 years ago.
Exactly lol
@@EDifyer881 My point exactly, it's has been dead for over 10 years.
@@FanSeitz I totally agree
"I have been duped."

When he said the name of the episode “And Then There Were Fewer”, I felt so smart for getting the reference XD
Me too. A few supporting characters get killed off and don't come back. January 2, 2019, 8:05pm
4:51 The Principal and the Pauper and That 90s Show. I loath That 90s Show because it’s been well-established Homer and Marge met in the 70s and Marge was in love with Artie Ziff before she met Homer and his appearances later in the show.
Brian actually never told Meg to keep allowing her family to abuse her. In fact he said if they're going to wallow and turn on each other after she finally stood up for herself then that was their problem, not hers. Meg herself actually said that maybe she should remain being abused by them. The only mistake Brian made was suggesting How brave that was.
Yeah...but what he did (letting her believe it was totally fine to stay with her abusers because they'd fall apart without her and even calling that decision "noble") is arguably much worse. And somehow, he's considered the voice of reason (when any responsible adult in that situation would have slapped her face into reality (not literally, of course), given her the phone number of a shelter and recommended taking her parents to court for emancipation).
He's forgetting all those petitions that came out as soon as it happened to bring Brian back. Im sure that was the plan all along, but it's not like they didn't do what the fans wanted
Boy imagine how he'd tear apart Stewie is Enceinte
"Sometimes, dead is better"
"I'm in the mood for mac and cheese!"
Wow, I'm eating mac and cheese right now...weird
