How is he so unlikable?
>>150398258He was fine when he was just the straight man to everyone's antics and usually the most reliable person in the family despite being a dog. But then the writers decided to make him a pretentious asshole and he never recovered.
>>150398287>writers decidedyeahh... at the time Seth was still fully involved with it and decided to make brian his mouthpiece and he became political and an insufferable asshole.
>>150398258The author's self insert is always an insufferable character
Quagmire summed it up nicely.
>>150398258i assume this is an upscale and they never released those family guys past 720p
>>150398287FpbpI loved early Brian.
>>150398566he hasn't been the mouth piece character in nearly a decadethey play up entirely that he's a self-righteous douche and a sell out
>>150398258Because he went from "wise voice of reason" to a hybrid 4chan-reddit poster
He's an inverse Gary Stu, being a shitty loser is literally his only remaining character trait.
You are the best person I know, you constantly show respect to your best friend's wife, the man pays for your food and rescued you from certain death and this is how you repay him! And to make it better you pick up after yourself when you defecate on the yard, and you're such a good guy. You pay for everything and you always say "Ah just catch me later!" but later never comes! And what really amazes me is that you've shown how you're this deep guy who loves women for their souls, and you hold to that standard. Yeah, I date women for their bodies, but you're so honest about it. You even buy the less fortunate ones copies of Classic Literature and help them begin their adventure towards the literary world that they missed out on when they were in 7th grade. Your interpretation about Holden Caulfield being some profound intellectual was spot on! He's just like you.God you're astounding, and you publish so many award winning novels all by yourself. You know, I'm glad you helped me write Cheryl Tiegs that note, I never would've known there is no 'a' in the word definite. And, I think what I like most about you? Your ideology, how we should "Respect the free and the working class", how big business is crushing the underclass, and how homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America,and look at all you've done to help! When I walk past the soup kitchen, always see you down there! Always with a ladle! And by the way, thanks for driving a Prius. God wants us to take care of this planet, oh, wait sorry I forgot you're an Atheist. But even so, you respect everyone's views on religions and never belittle them. What an amazing guy! You got your master's degree which is almost as impressive as your success as a Father. How's your son of your's, still on track to graduate as Valedictorian? Right on! But you know what? Best of all, you're just so interesting. You're just an interesting guy to be around and I love listening to you.Phew! See you Brian, thanks for the tofu!
>>150399410he went to wise voice of reason to writer's insert to asshole character who is clearly meant to get people's scorn but people with room temp iq still think he's the writer's insert
>>150398258I like Brian still. The Stewie and Brian episodes are usually top tier even now.
>>150398258Every family guy character except maybe meg and Joe (only because they've become punching bags) have become unlikable, they've even managed to ruin quagmire of all characters.
>>150398258I still find him hot
>>150399442jej
>>150398258They changed him from "well-read smarmy alcoholic" to "pretentious dickhead hypocrite who pretends to be smart".
