So you’re telling me that Brian was able to fight off a classroom of midgets on crack but couldn’t stand his ground against a literal baby with an oversized head.

[@To-New-Beginnings.]

He also stood up against an entire army of cats.

[@osvaldorodriguez1334]

Stewie have training and tech

[@sirmiyousbaker3648]

Brian knew if decided to fight back against stewie, he would still take the blame so he didn’t.

[@dragonflarefrog1424]

Stewie is a trained fighter

[@furiousfinch1587]

Brian's on crack.

[@anonyman13]

The way the characters move is so much better in the early seasons.

[@gattiyon]

for example: the midgets jumping

[@ganoninthepit]

I've paid attention while watching the old stuff lately, you see characters moving in the background, blinking, more subtle gestures while they're talking than constantly just holding their hand out. It's a completely different show.

[@rhettwilkerson1828]

It’s because it used to be all by hand

[@johnynoway9127]

@@rhettwilkerson1828 nah..its cuz they got lazier n lazier as time went on.

[@1Hol1Tiger]

Family Guy is one of those weird shows where everything gets worse the longer the shows go on. Even the characters don't get flanderized, so much as they develop into sociopathic monsters.

[@Piglin16]

Fr, like in the Peter and giant chicken fights, Peter can fight really good, but when Peter fights Liam Neeson he just gets his ass kicked. Peter only got one good hit on Neeson.

[@notenoughgarlic]

Always makes me happy to see people appreciating how good this show used to be. I know seasons 1-3 are best, but 4-7 are really good too. After that, it really sucks.

[@arnoldfreeman2885]

4-7 was a wonderful victory lap. Against all odds, the show got resurrected and all of us, the fans and the creators, all of us basked in the glow of victory. We fans let a lot of things slide in 4-7 just because we were happy to be vindicated. Then yea, it went downhill quickly and violently

[@Gage-jk4pm]

Like a car crash.

[@okjeffy6581]

The rest are trash. Especially season 8. Which had a lot of liminal episodes.

If this was a modern episode, it would turn out that it was in fact just a sunday school, and Brian would shout at one of the children as he tries to get them to confess. He'd then probably slam their heads into the desk before Joe has to drag him away

[@Whatzitooya891]

That’s more like what modern Peter will do instead. Brian will just be the pretentious douche who probably lecture the kids on his political views and other random stuff

[@jacksonteller3973]

[@alphaghoul]

I thought he was an atheist.

[@GhostRider659]

alphaghoul im not sure, but this looks like it's early in the show, before he had gone through the arc revealing that. Besides, it sounds more like a colloquial expression than a religious statement.

[@Lokgorel]

He doesn't need to believe in God in order to use that kind of expression. As GhostRider659 said, it's a colloquial expression, not a religious statement.

[@dragonmasterlance123]

Plenty of atheists use that phrase. Same with god forbid, god only knows, for gods sake etc.

[@aceclover758]

Correction. A SMART baby. A normal baby don't have a chance. Refer to the restaurant clip of a crying baby.

If this was a modern episode, they would actually be children and Brian would beat one of them up before realising that they’re kids, and in that whole scene they would cram in a “Joe is depressed because he’s handicapped haha!” Joke
