I’d say it’s more like, the baby is the wife, the Dad is the child, the dog is like an uncle that’s not related by blood. the kids are just normal messed up kids, and the mom is a woman surrounded by madness all her life so she’s kind of crazy herself and also the man of the house
The dialogue in my head "Is the light keeping you up?" "It's fine" "FYI I'm more in love with Michelle if that's even possible" "Well when you're done you wanna...." "Oh, well I still have that headache. But if you want to go to Chris' room..." "Wow really?" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I said I wouldn't do that and I did it, I'm just gonna finish this chapter" "Is this what it's going to be like from now on? How can we be together if you can't let this go? Especially since you told me that you had moved past it" "I'm trying Rupert, I really am, I want this to work but sometimes I picture you in his bed and... Anyway big day tomorrow they're picking busy bee. I should get some sleep" Stewie starts crying "Please don't cry" "I'm sorry nights are hard"
@@leonardo899 you're lucky. i didnt inherit anything from my sister but I always fell victim when its rainy day and no one's around to try her "clothing lines" made out of everything she can put her hands on. she never made it to fashion designing when we grew up.
Which is really weird because I can’t tell what is canon and what isn’t. Didn’t Brian hump a hole in Rupert or something and then they had to throw him away? And they did something like throw his “ashes” away over a mountain?
Stewie has the biggest imagination I’ve ever seen in my life. And the reality he has to face is when families are big, sometimes the younger siblings get their older ones’ hand me downs.
Thats 80% of my wardrobe thats why i am glad i have old sisters they just Me:hi how Them: here you can have these shirts Me oh thank you Them did you need shorts Me no Them see if they fit 🤣
Bro, this scene reflects a jealous wife who can get over the fact that his husband is not longer what she taught he was. She's just disappointed and just trying to not think about the pain.
(Rupert used to be Chris's when he was little. Stewie finds an old photo in the attic where Chris rides a tricycle and Rupert sits in the rear basket. So Stewie's jealous over something that happened years before he was born...)
Stewie and Rupert have the weirdest dynamic in TV history. Like, he's a genius who built a time machine, but he's also in what can only be described as a sexually charged relationship...with a *teddy bear,* who he also treats like it's human.
don't mean to project myself on this but my gf at the time this episode out was in many relationships before and she was my first. I saw Stewie and reminded myself how ridiculous I was being and it helped.
even if we don't know who you are, it takes guts to be honest about your feelings. I'm not in a relationship, but I know deep down this is something I'd constantly worry about.
It's so good to me how this show manages it's tone. It is irreverent and crass and incredibly violent with some real pathos built in. The show isn't afraid to explore different sides of characters than you've seen, it's not afraid to do things that would piss off fans, and it's also not afraid to have genuine emotion.
There's something about this that makes it unfunny. In older episodes when Stewie had conversations with Rupert it was funny. I think it may be the quiet crying in the end. A bit too " real" maybe, went from wacky pretend play to a sad child too quickly
it really seems like they’re trying to paint stewie as incredibly unhappy as a gay character, especially by making his “relationship” with rupert so toxic in later seasons. i know that the only consistency for family guy is that everyone is cynically miserable, but stewie’s characterization down this path always felt especially malicious. it definitely made me worry for my future happiness when i was struggling with being gay. i’m glad there are healthier depictions out there now
@@splendid9400 ikr? In older sketches it was like:"haha he is a small baby who acts like a campy gay man and is in love with his plush, how quirky and original!" or something along those lines, btw no sexual innuendo just having fun together. Nothing wrong with sexual innuendo but in later seasons we see Stewie having relations with strange men, even dating a guy in prison.. It's kinda funny but his body is that of a baby which makes it uncomfortable the more you think about it. Now we see this bit where he is stressed, hurt and profoundly sad. This is not funny, this is a dysfunctional relationship imagined by a small child. Like you said, it is kinda scary. I wanna laugh not think about sad realities
@@splendid9400 It's a cartoon... are you so dense you can't watch TV without letting exaggerated depictions of people shape your views? Not every depiction of gay people has to be happy go lucky. It's called dark humor.
dude it's a joke about relationships and it's actually quite funny for family guy standards. i actually chuckled a little when he cried like a betrayed spouse trying to keep it together lmao. he's even reading michelle obama for fucks sake! where did you get "sad child" from?
This is some “This is us” type shit Lmao the fun thing about the show is it can go from this to a chicken fight to bullying Meg to time traveling in one episode
@@mozambiquemorbid2441 Tbh, it all depends on the person, the experiences they had in life, and how they reacted to said experiences that really decides the end result. I’ve seen some people very happy as a couple and I’ve seen other gay couples regret their decision within months, not to mention medical problems that occur for said couples. I don’t actually support gay couples because of how biology works, but it’s ultimately their decision to make, not mine. Live and let live
@@couragew6260 i really dislike how you put that, as though “biological problem” are an inherent risk of gay relationships when they aren’t, and your implication that “biology” doesn’t work that way, when homosexual relationships have been documented by other animal species. in fact, the whole statement dripped with implicit homophobia, so i wonder why you felt the need to share it.
I have one sided arguments with my dog all the time. But she's not a toy. Still as one sided though and me assuming what she's thinking can get real at times.
