Brian Griffin Doesn't Deserve Dylan! (Family Guy Video Essay)

[@knowledgeseeker4614]

It is funny how Quagmire out of all people called him out as a failure of a father. Hypocritical, but he wasn’t entirely wrong.

[@M0RGU3E]

LITERALLY

[@AngieMeistersInYourHead]

takes one to know one

[@raymondfisheriii791]

That’s the thing: a lot of that speech Quagmire gives Brian is stereotypical, and Quagmire even calls himself out in it. But that’s why it hits so hard: it’s one asshole of a person who looks at another who he sees as worse than him, because this guy is either in denial of his douchebagery or completely unaware of it, and while he tries to be a “decent person” it’s done in a way that clearly shows he’s trying to virtue signal as much as possible. Brian’s a prideful, selfish, vindictive, self-righteous, boring asshole who refuses to actually try to fix himself. And by that point we were getting more hints of Quagmire seemingly cutting down on the antics he was normally known for. So maybe Quagmire was actually trying to make a change for himself and seeing Brian reminds him of all the things he hates or wants to improve on himself, and seeing him not try to improve on any of them genuinely or consistently is what triggers his aggression for him. His stagnancy of character is what makes him boring because Quagmire, along with everyone else, is used to his shit just as much as he is sick of it

I always found it weird that Peter and company forced Dylan out of Brian's life because he was being a douche only to turn around and call him a bad dad.

[@Eric6761]

It was huge dick move and could go wrong, think about it, Dylan wasn't being annoying anymore and was behaving and going to school to get a better life and they had a problem with Brian and they didn't factor that Tracy could just refuse Dylan

[@alexvaughan1013]

That's an extremely good point!

[@Aroaceenby]

I think their intent was to force him out of the house, not out of his life. He could have still had a relationship with Dylan.

[@jackdawjohnson7436]

When it comes to Brian abandoning his son, I think it’s more about how he just lost contact with him the second he walked out the door. In that way he did abandon him emotionally because he now knew he had a son and had a relationship with him but chose to disconnect due to convenience.

[@Jjop017]

Yes, that is what I got to. The characters call Brian a bad father because Brian never stayed in contact with him afterwards. Dylan didn’t need to live with Brian in order for them to have a relationship. The fact that Dylan even points out how he never heard from Brian until he became an actor shows he didn’t choose to end contact with him.

I’m surprised Dylan doesn’t appear more considering he’s voiced by the same actor who voices Chris. He really should get more screen time or address the fact he’s a human and how the genetics work in this world for a dog to be his dad

[@jairusjackson7799]

I don't believe Dylan is actually Brian's son. First of all Dylan was 13 when they first met, and Brian was 7-8. Second, in the episode when Stewie gives birth to his and Brian's kids, they are human dog hybrids. So even going by the show's own logic it doesn't make sense. Dylan isn't his son, so I hold nothing against him over this

pretty sure tracy was just a bop who didn’t know which one of the many men she slept with was the father so she threw him on brian since he was the first one to come back….no way brian has a human son with absolutely no canine features (i know it’s a cartoon)

[@firepuppies4086]

Honestly I would wanna have that called out.... Additionally... If Brian was 10 at that point in the series, Dylan was 13, and unless time travel was explicitly mentioned... See where I'm going? Brian just got written badly into this situation. Have Dylan be 8, hell, a 9 year old may work but 13 just doesn't work with the timeline at all even by Family Guy standards.

[@knowledgeseeker4614]

What you said about toxic relationships sounds similar to how people think of Shaggy and Velma in Mystery Inc.

[@seeleunit2000]

That relationship was messed up, but thank goodness that relationship ended.

[@Eric6761]

[@jenneacubero1036]

That was better than "Velma" but I still can't forgive "Mystery Inc" for what they did to their Velma. It ruined Shaggy×VelmA pairing for me.

[@Entinu94]

So, when they call out Brian for "abandoning" Dylan, they mean after he spent about a week (month?) with the kid, he never saw him again. Tracey never put in any legal paperwork or stated that she didn't want the two to spend time together. Brian could have spent any amount of his free time seeing his only son. Instead, the dog hangs out with a literal baby, sometimes while drunk, and hits on anything with a pulse and a kitty.

[@Eric6761]

Fair but characters don't exactly give specifics for it, like the way they said: "Brian abandoned Dylan" makes it think it was when Brian let Dylan go

[@alphawolf798]

How is Dylan even Brian's son? I don't see no dog ears or tail on that kid. They could've done a DNA test first. Also this is me venting but Brian does not deserve Dylan, granted Brian helped Dylan in his debut episode but he has not been there for him unless it's to benefit him (like my own father). Never once has Brian called, video chatted, or even invited Dylan or Tracey to any family events, barbecues, Thanksgiving or Christmas. But these are just my thoughts let me know what you guys think.

When I was 10, I wrote a short story about a girl who gets a diary that has a spell where when she writes something in it, it comes to life. I felt so smart brainstorming and writing down what should happen. My teacher even allowed me to read a little bit of it for the class one day. I thought I was very clever for coming up with an idea like that. A year later, The Barbie Diaries came out and that movie has the same plot. It made me super pissed because my story wasn't unique anymore.

[@garuelx8627]

Okay. One, Brian was actually being a good father in the latter half of the first Dylan episode, albeit a tad helicoptery. Dylan moved back with his trainwreck of a mom to help her out. Then Quagmire had his sudden paradigm shift and called out multiple things Brian has done which some definitely did not add up like the Dylan bit. But because the writers love Quagmire and hate Brian, they made his dubious rantings into dogmatic canon. It became quite apparent that the show fell off in quality. Two, I'm still not convinced Dylan is Brian's biological son. He appears 100% human and he's older than Brian.

Well actually stewy started as luzifer and rose

[@RingoandCarlin]

A few years ago i wrote a comment on the Family Guy page on how can they prove Dylan is his son for a couple reasons and not cause of the dog years thing. One is Tracy could have been lying to Brian and Dylan is not actually Brian's biological son since she looks like the person who'd lie to him from her appearance and personality, also they didn't even do a go to a doctor to get blood test to also prove if they have the same blood and DNA. So for all we know Tracy is just a big liar. Also I wanted to say Brian wasn't a bad father at least in season six since he tried hard to be a responsible father after he and Dylan had a heart to heart moment after smoking drugs. It was the newer writers from season 7-present that destroyed Brian and turned him into a self-righteous hypocrite and the newer writers from seasons 7-present forced his character to be a bad father. Also Peter is kinda the blame to make Brian lose Dylan and Dylan chose to leave Brian and go back to Tracy. Also Brian could have wanted to stay with Dylan since he was going through being with what he thought was his puppies when he thought Seabreeze was pregnant with his puppies after he made love on her.

[@estebangutierrez160]

Now that I think about it, what's with the show wanting to make every character a Hypocrite? And aside from all of that, even earlier seasons Brian wanted to be there for his pups when his own father wasn't there. While he was too late and Dylan ended up most exactly how current Brian is now, they shared a moment with each other by smoking weed. They say it's the little things that count, and that right there, smoking weed together was the little thing that made Brian want to be a parent for Dylan.
