> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > Then Quagmire is revealed not only to have some unexpected depth and self-insight, but is able to reel off a laundry list of solid reasons for why Brian is even more contemptible than Quagmire is. It was hilarious, but I thought someone like Cleveland or even Joe would have been on a more stable moral pedastal to give that spiel. More moral, but less funny, considering what Quagmire is. Because I like Brian, I found myself laughing but silently annoyed and refuting the whole rant Quagmire gave. For everything he said, Quagmire has pretty much done worse. Not being a hypocrite about it doesn’t make him better. > [@pancakes3](#): > > as for stewie, i for one found evil stewie to be much funnier than gay stewie. i think stewie’s lines where he’s soliciting sex would be just as effective if meg said it aloud to no reaction.

Finally saw the last half on Global (interestingly, it seems I left just a few seconds before Brian tried to befriend Quagmire for the first time, at the mailbox) - is it just me or does Quagmire’s summation of Brian sound like how some describe a typical Doper? 😉 ---

It was a mediocre rant, not all of it is really that valid. Brian has dated older women (Pearl and the woman from a few weeks ago). Plus Quagmire has hit on Peter’s wife far more than Brian has. Brian is more in love with her, Quagmire just wants to have sex with her. So that was hypocritical. Then Quagmire gave up his daughter a few weeks ago, and complains about Brian doing the same. I think Quagmire has another son in Spain too. Brian drives a Prius and that means nothing, but Quagmire volunteering at a soup kitchen counts. Besides Brian has done other things for progressive causes like gay marriage. He tried to get a law passed in favor of that in Quahog. And a guy who has tried to kidnap and rape women shouldn’t be complaining about how other people are horrible for being boring. Besides Brian is not boring. And condemning religion isn’t exactly a reason to insult someone. I know its just a cartoon, but meh.

I have missed some episodes in the later seasons, so Im not entirely updated. Was it implied that Quagmire knew about the various kids around the world? I don’t remember him ever really hitting on Lois, except the time in an early season where he thought they were breaking up. Good point with the gay marriage thing. The point with the religion thing, is that Brian thinks religous people are stupid, where he is actually more stupid in many ways. ---

Nah. I still think it was a great rant. I mean, we already know that Quagmire is sleazy. Duh. The coolness of the rant was that plenty people thought that Brian was so above it all. Hahaa! I thought that too! ---
