Quagmire be like: I’m just an actual sexual predator lol

the bonnie being pregnant for 6 years joke is literally still so hilarious lmao

Quagmire nowadays feels like a character that is either just used for the most barebones plot ever, or just goes very out of character to be all serious and somehow be the one in the right even though he literally has things that contradict him being the one you're supposed to like

The worst thing about Quagmire is how in the mid seasons they tried to make us empathize with him. He’s not a character we can empathize with.

I honestly miss when Quagmire’s jokes actually hit hard (giggity) and we’re funny and made sense

I remember watching through the entirety of Family Guy on a totally legitimate website when I was 14, and once I got to like, season 13, there was just this shift that seemed to come out of nowhere, where Glenn suddenly became the voice of reason, and Joe became a second Meg.

Quagmire’s scene where he verbally berates Brian while warranted, is one of the most hypocritical and pompous speeches I have ever heard.

the ultimate issue is that the family guy writers were cowardly they couldve either stuck to their guns and have quagmire still be a gross funny pervert, but treated in the context of the contemporary culture (ie, have him get socially ostracized), or taken responsibility with the insensitive jokes they made with him in a way that was honest with themselves and not infuriatingly meta instead they just swept his core personality under the rug and hoped u didnt notice this giant gaping hole where once was quagmire

Please make one about Lois next, she’s literally perfect for this kind of video cause she’s changed so much and a lot of people (including myself) hate her so much now

7:11 I think the weirdest thing about this episode was that yeah Meg is 18 now but for god's sake he practically watched this girl grow up. Feels like he was just waiting since her birth for her to turn 18, which is very possible knowing him.

Honestly quagmire should’ve been a carefree uncle that a lot of people would come to for advice or to listen to them and I would’ve liked that Brian and quagmire would get over their issues with one another and in a weird way becoming close friends.🤔🐱

From experience don't use temu. It's all just junk

Quagmire hates Brian, while being a hypocrite himself. Pure Irony at its finest! Keep up the good work Mark!

He doesn’t even use “Giggity Giggity Goo” anymore. R.I.P Quagmire

That episode where Quagmire saw Lois in the bathroom is iconic in my household. My parents used to let me watch family guy when I was like, 10. Then when that episode played, they made us turn it off and told us we couldn't be watching it anymore. We were shook to our core. But, of course, within the next few nights my sister and I snuck downstairs to finish the episode, only to have the chicken fight scene happen (which was the first time we saw one of those) and it made us howl with laughter so loud it woke our parents up and we got hella grounded lmao

...is nobody gonna talk about how Mark took a Temu sponsorship?

Peter:"Hey Lois,you remember when Ls mark made a totally accurate and well made video talking about the modern status of my best friend Quagmire ?"

"Quagmire you're a r*pist" is for whatever reason one of my favorite quotes tbh

A good way to keep Quagmire the way he was and keep meToo friendly would of explore more episodes where his pervert nature cause trouble. For example, his pervert actions with a plane hostess could of gotten him fired from his job which could cause him to become depress and struggling to pay bills. With him realizing that he needed to learn to control himself in professional situations.

If you want to keep quagmires pervert trait while making him more tolerable and not necessarily a bad guy, all you have to do is make him a gentlemanly man who reveres women, treats them like queens. Have him move on from just seeing them as objects and realize he can get more out of making connections. Or just give him a wife who completes this aspect of quagmire in some way, there’s multiple ways that can work out. But instead they just try to completely distance themselves which is just strange.

I just love how you keep using this intro when talking about how much a Family Guy has regressed! First Brian, then Joe, and now Quagmire! 😁😁😁😁

Quagmire represents everything i despise in humanity, yet he still makes me laugh more than any character on the show. Sometimes dark times call for dark humor....anyway nice video

The willingness to neuter Quagmire (almost literally) shows that Family Guy isn't the edgy satire it used to be. It only exists to keep existing, and if that takes removing all the character from a main character, they'll do it happily. Compare that to South Park, whose creators would absolutely love for the show to get cancelled, which means they're not afraid of doing anything they want and staying as controversial as possible. Ironically, the only show that wants to end is the one worth keeping.

I did enjoy the older Quagmire. His jokes usually gave me a good laugh, and when on screen you never knew what he would do next. The scene where Lois is in prison and Quagmire is in the background freaking out over sexual innuendos is still one of my favorites. Now he’s just boring in recent episodes, and I don’t think I’ve laughed once in idk how long with his character

Gotta be honest I’m almost 100% sure Temu is an actual scam it’s been months and idk anyone who has ordered anything other than like dollar store trinkets who’s received anything from them and I’m kind of shocked you’d accept their sponsorship.

It was honestly a huge missed opportunity not to have some sort of big character change with Quagmire, usually with a character like that their predicament is that they've become too old to be the "ladies' man" or they've missed out on having a family like Boomhauer from King of the Hill. Quagmire's issue is not that but that it's socially not acceptable to be that kind of guy anymore, you can do so much with that with a number of different angles to take. That's really the problem with these animated shows that have gone on far too long, they'll put in modern takes and current events and stuff like that but not have their characters change with the times. They treat it like the flavor of the week when really it's the new status quo.

that ad is so suspicious... nothing is that cheap without a downside...

If I'm gonna be honest, I'm waiting for the day Brain can return that speech back to Quagmire. As much as Brain has been warped into this worse version of himself, he is still no where near as bad as Quagmire. Quagmire is just self aware of how awful he is and now is trying to wash away how horrible he is/was.

What if they changed Glen from being a sex guy into a drug guy. Sex was always a comedic vice for Quigmore so maybe they could give him other comedic vices.

The worst part is that in a recent episode, Peter sets him up for a funny joke that he would normally make and he doesn’t make the joke and instead is used as boring exposition

I don't get why they suddenly decided to make Quagmire hate Brian for no reason. There was never an episode where Brian did something awful to him directly or where he simply took issue with. The episode where Brian scammed him in return for getting his teeth "fixed" was made AFTER Quagmire declared his hatred for him. I know the series is barely known for its continuity, aside from stuff like Diane getting killed by Stewie at the end of And then there were Fewer, but this is something that should've had a clear explanation behind it instead of just coming out of nowhere. Don't worry, it's not your Brian favoritism, that roast Quagmire did to him along with his awful takes in Streams of Silence: The Story of Brenda Q are some of his worst moments in THE WHOLE SERIES. The former because he's guilty of nearly everything he accuses Brian of to worse degrees, and some of it isn't even that bad, like who has actually been negatively affected by Brian doing his business in the backyard or him writing a terrible book? The latter because it's an absolutely despicable episode that doesn't know if it wants to be funny or be a serious representation of domestic abuse, and fails at both as a result HARD. Whenever Quagmire tries to be the straightman(archetype, not personality) it makes me think of an altered version of the Spongebob quote which goes: "Oh, so now the pedophile rapist is gonna preach to us!"

Just think, they can have an episode about Stewie getting pregnant with Brian’s puppies, but they think having Quagmire act like Quagmire is a bit too spicy. Just saying. I never cared for Quagmire and whenever they try to play him as a morally upstanding caring guy I just remember all the stuff he has done up until those points and wonder if the staff know what they’re trying to get out of the character.

To me, Quagmire only worked in old episodes before they started constantly having him be a r@pist. Not that they never did that back then but it was more rare. It eventually became his whole personality. I wish more shows would have a perverted character who can be off putting at times but is a good person who's just socially awkward. Like Tina from Bob's Burgers & the main character in the first episode of Oshi no Ko.

I also really hate the scene where Quagmire is laying into Brian. He's literally laying into him for all the things HE does, too

NGL, what Peter said at 8:12 reminds me of what Cartman said in the cartoon wars episode. "I'm a little boy, that's a cartoon!" - Eric Cartman

One of my favorite jokes of all time on the show was from the Terminator Episode. A Terminator Peter walks into the Drunken Clam and scans all of Peter's drinking buddies. When he scans Quagmire, it says "Former Pervert; Lacks Comedic Angle."

In the dinner date scene where he talked about Brian’s son, I found that really hypocritical because Quagmire has a fck ton of kids so it doesn’t make sense why out of all people he had to say it

I have a theory that quagmire hates Brian because he secretly jealous of the life Brian has.

I think a good contrast is Boomhauer from King of the Hill. He's basically the same archetype, but they don't push it to the extreme. He has traits established from day one that don't make him into the worst fucking human possible, there's something there besides him being in his 50s. Quagmire's traits outside his playboy status weren't really established firmly until several seasons in. And they're mostly just nothing. The only one I think they could do good episodes about is his veteran status, but there's like one or two over that and then nothing else. No, what's important is he likes cats, hates Brian, and he's good at his day job. He's the weakest part of the show fr

9:12 Hey, you found that wiki! I'm actually one of the administrators for that wiki and I was surprised to see our wiki in your video! Thanks for the odd shout out, Mark!!

Even though there are Quagmire moments that still make me laugh, I will admit that at this point on some level his whole pervert schtick has gotten old,stale and cliche.

Glen has a heartwarming origin like his niece with cancer he helped and i think some other stuff and his wildness got destroyed nowadays. :( he went from hilarious to not that good.

Ngl I never really liked Quagmire's speech against Brian because it's mad hypocritical. Everything he says about Brian can be applied to himself and then some. It's a great speech ruined by the fact that it's said by the at least deserving character.

Oh fuck no, the moment the clip of the cat cafe appear it gave me flashbacks, my teacher was accused of sexual harassment and left our school then we find out he opened a cat cafe it was literally the same situation 😭

Not fucking Temu 😭

the sponsor is a scam

I think the quagmire show cutaway gag perfectly described him "My name is Glenn Quagmire, and i say Gigity." And thats all he is

Mark really had a scam website sponsor him

Nahhhh they made the quagmire toilet meme into a show in 1999???

As much as i enjoy older Quagmire jokes i feel like he's more comedically versatile now. It is weird that they chose to make him a straightman though considering that was Cleveland before season 8

Temu is a predatory sweatshop. Surprised no one called it out

Nah no way he got sponsored by a shady ass company 😢

I don't care how many cats he rescues Glen Quagmire can never be redeemed. The few good things he has done will never outweigh all the bad and illegal things he's done. It should have been him that was ran over by that car instead of Brian or disappeared for as long as The Cleveland Show lasted (but without him having his own show).

Quagmire may be one of the fastest-flanderized characters I've ever seen. He still gets depth later, but never escapes the husk he becomes instantly.

I still have the theory that Quagmire has been using Ida's ID for the longest time because there's that episode where Peter accidentally becomes trans and has to have that talk with Ida, where she mentions she 'was unhappy for 61 years' before she transitioned. I feel like Quagmire is actually in his 40’s but was using a fake ID with his Dad's DOB

I remember on the Graham Norton show Seth Macfarlane explained how he came up with the idea on all the characters of Family Guy and then Graham was like “Now where’s Quagmire from? That can’t be a person.” And Seth couldn’t stop laughing 😂😂

Wh-why is Mark being sponsored by Temu

I think Quagmire these days could work as a Johnny Bravo type character. Like I know their was the whole Pepe le pew controversy and he's semi-similar but like how about keep the coolness of Quagmire similar to Johnny. Like have Quagmire come over to Peters and start just giving the Family stuff. Have him be like super nice to Meg and Peters kids and maybe that's the controversy. Like Peter gets upset because his kids prefer Quagmire. He should be like the cool uncle who does shitty things but everyone just loves him because he's cool. Only difference is that he gets beat the shit out of when trying to hook up with the ladies. Like imagine an episode where Quagmire he trys to hit on a lady they just beat him up so he tries making an action movie hoping that he will be remembered for that instead. Only issue is the action movie is full of 80s stereotypes and jokes that no one likes it in the modern age. Make him like the outdated but still cool character I think works.

Cleveland...You will be next !

Really Mark? I can't believe you'd advertise such a scam

Man, Cleveland's character essay is going to be a hellish ride if youre going to look at his spinoff

2:08 temu under investigation

I really will never understand why he is presented as the good guy for ruining his father's relationship with brian

Who would've thought that a character was more likeable when he was a pervert

does quagmire even say giggity anymore?

The most creepiest thing about quagmire’s character is the fact he’s 61. Or at least it was revealed in an episode where Peter looked at his driver’s license. “Carrots.” That’s the only time it’s ever brought up too.

Mark in the nicest way possible you have terrible luck with sponsors

I don't know about you but temu TOTALLY seems like something that'll be outed as a scam sometime soon. I see ads everywhere for it and it just looks like wish 2.0

1:54 temu is not the way to go, man

No way gang sold his soul to temu

The funny thing is every trait Quagmire is saddled with now (being a cat-lover, getting annoyed over little things and hating Brian for moral reasons) were all there years ago, but they were meant to contrast with his actual "insane pervert" personality, the joke was always how out-of-character these moments were. But since he can't be a pervert anymore, these traits have become all he has left, meaning there's no longer any irony to them. Plus, him hating Brian had a meta element to it. Before that episode, those two had never had any real screen time or dynamic together, so the reveal that Quagmire had resented Brian all these years, and that's why they were never onscreen together, was genuinely funny. Now it's been dragged out for so long, that it's no longer a joke, it's just what Quagmire does now.

no fucking way my guy sold out to Temu

Guys, I'm urging ya'll not to shop from Temu! A majority of the stuff they sell are cheap bootlegs of actual products, including stolen designs from independent artists! They also use child labor and force them to work in sweatshops with little to no pay! I'm pretty disappointed in Mark since this isn't the first time he's sponsored questionable companies

I’m surprised you didn’t bring up the episode where Quagmire had sex with a teenager, used his mom’s pervertedness as an excuse in court, and got off consequence free cause his mom fucked the judge. Definitely the most “Family Guy” episode imo.

I did notice a while ago how much Quagmire just became that angry side character that randomly says something rude or mean for no reason. Like a time when Clevand said a random joke and Quagmire snapped at him for no reason at all. It's a bizare change for him

i wouldn't recommend advertising dodgy sites , always research sponsors

Awww hell nah temu sponsored him 😭 did nobody tell him it's s a scam?!?!?!!

I wish they would've done more with quagmire, in southpark we had chef who loved being with women but was also the man with morals and would teach the kids about right and wrong. Quagmire was just a sexual deviant who had very odd conflicting moments that didn't make sense.

LS Mark forgot about the Cosmo & Wanda character downfall video he made when listing all of them

Quagmire was already flanderized from the start. They had to unflanderize him then reflanderize him in a different way.

Do Peter next: the Bored Genius. Talk about how important it is to recognize that he does not see any validity in others who talk smack for no reason and himself can be much more accomplished though he is too bored to try. Like the many times he achieves going to space, becoming a millionaire, etc. And talk about how this specifically involves his low opinion of others and therefore the absolute value of his boredom.

I loved the scene where Quagmire rips Brian a new one. it's the rare time they portrayed him as a real human for a change.

Though I actually feel like he has been given more depth to his personality in the season 21 episode The Stewaway, he actually played as a temporary guardian for stewie while he was in Paris with him.

8:47 Don't forget that he also slaughters the entire family with a shotgun, INCLUDING MAGGIE, because Homer walks in

Quagmire without sex jokes can be the straight man , is well read, and goes on normal dates with women. He's like if Brian had game.

Why didn't they just have him end up getting arrested and dropping some soap and be like oh is that how they feel gosh I'll never do that again

Man I am soooooo glad they got rid of sexual assault jokes, because they were too offensive for today's climate. I'm just glad they made more room for jokes about violence, gore, drug use, self harm, racism, child molestation, etc. Because those are a ok.

little bro straight up advertising a scam site 💀💀💀 and it's not the first time

I'd actually say that taking away his core personality of sex and making him the straight man shows a bit of a character arc

**Clears throat** "Who else but Quadratic formula could lose purpose?"

They really went into the office one day and said "we should remove the Quagmire from Quagmire". People should just call him Glenn now because that feels more fitting for his current personality than his last name does

What I don't get is why his standards are so inconsistant. He's not above forcing himself on a woman (by drugs or kidnapping) or getting with animals, but he'll wait until Meg's 18 to get with her and be shocked and appalled that his sister is being physically abused.

Isn’t temu a scam?

Mark do you even know what Temu is like genuinely 😭

At some point you’ll have to do the man himself. Peter Griffen

before the character of Ida was introduced I thought it would have been cool if Glenn was Stan Smith's second half-brother the one from Wisconsin mentioned in the episode Meter Maid.

One of the best jokes in Family Guy history is still: “Yeah, 911, yeah it’s stuck in a window this time.”

9:12 I’m a Fandom Wiki editor, so I’ll fill you in. “Fanon Wiki”s ARE platforms for fanfiction. Usually it’s either a separate wiki from the main one about canon material, or it’s on that same one labeled under “Fanon” categories. They have their own kind of vibe apart from other fanfiction platforms like Ao3 or Fanfiction.пet, focusing partially on what it would be if it were an actual production. It’s a little confusing, I know.

I think it’d do his character well to give him a family, have it appear on the outside as though he’d changed, but it’s implied with little nods and winks and other tiny hints that he in combination with his wife are even more perverse behind closed doors.
