I think using quagmire to tell this story about domestic abuse could maybe work if they used it as a jumping off point to actually give quagmire some kind of arc where he realizes that the way he treats women isn't all that dissimilar from the way his sisters' abuser treats her. It's genuinely mindboggling that this parallel between quagmire and jeff never comes up like- quagmires whole schtick is that he disrespects women how the fuck is that not mentioned

I know OBVIOUSLY this type of abuse happens in real life, often, but something about the way it's written is kind of giving "abuse is only real if it's physical, and a lot of it." Idk, maybe it's also Meg's abuse being downplayed that adds to it, but it kinda comes off like they think it HAS to hit this level of violence in order for it to count as abuse. Kinda like Dhar Mann writing; all the villains are the most one-dimensional cartoon villains, with no nuance and nothing that might challenge viewers to reevaluate their own beliefs.

Meg's abuse on the show being downplayed is compounded by the fact that the episode where Meg comes to the conclusion she needs to stay an abuse victim to keep the family together, aired right before this. Not only is this episode bad, but it was aired at the worst time possible. Two episodes back to back with the exact opposite message, and I can't help but read into the subtext of that being that it's because Meg isn't conventionally attractive so her being dunked on is funny and Brenda is conventionally attractive so it isn't funny.

This episode isn't just tasteless, it's clear the writer has limited to no understanding on what abusive relationship are actually like. We're never shown any warmth from Jeff which might be why Brenda choses to stay with him, or signs that she needs him and evidence for why she feels she has to stay with him. He's just a dickish brute throughout because Family Guy doesn't have the capacity for nuance, and despite most abusers being subtle, well need I say more on Family Guy's version of "subtle". Worse still though during the intervention, Quagmire says his sister is a "cowardly punching bag and not a woman, who chooses to ruin her own life by staying with Jeff." THAT, THAT RIGHT THERE, IS FUCKING FOUL!!! The one thing you don't do to abusers is put that abuse on them and blame them for it, that's basically the equivalent of Quagmire abusing his sister to get her away from an abuser. It's despicable and makes it so apparently obvious that this episode with a story focusing around a women being abused by a man was not in fact written by a woman. I'm not saying men don't get abused or end up in abusive relationships, what I'm saying is that given the statistics, this is a subject more understood by women.

A lot of people claim that Touka from Tokyo Ghoul and Kaori from Your Lie in April were abusive, mainly because they abuse both Kaneki and Kousei. They also make up excuses like, “Touka got herself pregnant to keep Kaneki from leaving her”, “Kaori forced Kousei to play the piano again”, “Kaori was driving a rift between Kousei and his friend” or “Touka is just as bad as Kaneki’s mother”. First of all, All of the “abusive” in those shows are very different from the Screams and Silence of Brenda Q, mainly because of slapstick, meaning that both shows are from very different cultures. 2. Kaneki and Kousei aren’t the only ones with a sad past. Touka was lost her parents to Ghoul hunters and her brother abandoned her just to join up with the wrong crowd. Kaori was terminally ill and doesn’t have a lot of time left. 3. Kaneki too had abandoned Touka and constantly kept on shutting her out. Kousei on the other hand always has a negative attitude which makes him a total buzz kill to his friends. I adore both Touka and Kaori and they are not manipulative and cruel like Jeff from Family Guy is.

I loved it when he ripped into Brian. They both aren't good characters, but Quagmire did say that at least he's more honest about being a POS. Brian likes to hide it, and that is why I didn't like him, especially in later seasons. He comes off as condescending and a smug superior. Brian is basically a jobless freeloader who hits on his best friends wife, and eats their food. Despite the horrible things both of them have done, I'd rather side with Quagmire because he can be serious without being a jerk. He is still a ray pest, but Brian isn't far from that while also being condescending. Quagmire wasn't the best pick for this story/situation. His sister is only in that 1 episode to my knowledge while his dad has made many more appearances. This makes it worse, and Quagmire doesn't change much after this if at all. His dad didn't even make any statement or question with or about his sister. Nothing. If it was Cleveland (i know he wasn't around at this time) it could have worked a lot better. I think the major difference between Jeff and Quagmire was the physical abuse, minus the rake. Has Quagmire given his victims a shiner? I don't recall. I do recall him being with flings, and not ever committing to a relationship like Jeff was with his sister. But then again, they didn't even try to rationalize why either of them were still staying together.

13:48 Going to have to strongly disagree with the statement about Quagmire's speech to his sister being "heartfelt". Quagmire twists the situation and selfishly turns himself into the victim by stating various ways that Brenda's situation "has affected himself personally". He then goes on to belittle Brenda and makes statements about her treating her as less than a woman due to the abusive relationship she's in. It's unfortunate that even in what is supposed to be the emotional climax of the story, Family Guy completely fumbles its message and comes across as even more tasteless.

Family Guy and American Dad both have an episode where the most mistreated character (Meg and Klaus) stop the abuse they receive and because of this the family falls apart, both end with Meg and Klaus accepting their fate to keep the rest of the family happy.

Family Guy as a whole is such a bizarre show. Like, nothing is supposed to be serious, it's marketed as an episodical series where no two episodes really connect outside references to past jokes, and then there are episodes like THIS. Meg is constantly bullied and abused by her classmates, strangers, and her own family, hurts herself, is exploited at one point, and even attempts suicide a few times. Brian has also made suicide attempts, literally had to be EUTHANIZED in one episode after he got hit by a car rescuing Stewie, which in turn made Stewie go back in time to save him. I've seen a lot of people say this show was a lot funnier in earlier episodes, and I mean, I didn't really find it funny, but humor is subjective so whatever. But a consistent complaint I see people have about it is that it got so dark for no reason. I don't know if something happened in one of the writer's lives or what, but this is truly bizarre.

Seth hasn’t written for FG since 2009 or so. So unless they were using old episode ideas, Seth had nothing to do with writing this episode. Which might have something to do with how off-brand it is for them to make a storyline like this for a character like Quagmire. As much as I appreciate FG for making whatever tf they want, this does seem a little ignorant

I think the writers understood that no one was going to their show to be aware of serious problems in our society and they didn't want to change the whole scheme of the show which is "morality doesn't exist" just to send out a message, our cartoon show doesn't support domestic violence. They actually did a good job at balancing the scheme of the show with spreading awareness that Domestic violence is a crime and should be taken seriously.

"Comedy" is no excuse for being a horrible piece of shit, also just so we're clear this episode wasn't a joke, the scene where quagmire was victim blaming his sister for being a abuse victim was actually what the writers believed, it wasn't a joke they were being serious. Whether or not you find this shitty tasteless try hard edgelord episode funny or not doesn't change the fact that this episode is morally disgusting. Hiding behind horrible belief's with the phrase "it's just a joke" doesn't actually take away any valid criticism, it makes you look like a bitch who doesn't want his beliefs challenged.

1:34 You know why someone thought it would be a good idea? Because there was an episode a season or two before it where you're actually literally first introduced to Quagmire sister. It was the episode when Brian found out that Quagmire can't stand him and he tried to appeal to him as much as possible and failed at it returned and Quagmire entered his own home with his sister and Brian didn't realize it was his sister so he tried to appeal to Quagmire by you know giving him that calm and going like oh yeah you go quagmire another chick conquered or something along those lines all for Quagmire to respond with "eww That's my sister.", and the abusive boyfriend actually enters the house and beats the crap out of her and even shouts at Brian "Yeah gross that's his sister" and then proceeds to keep beating her up. Quagmire yells at Brian telling him to get the hell out of there and he wants nothing to do with them especially after dealing with what's happening in his house.

Honestly i feel like typically silly things can go over serious topics, look at the Yakuza series of games or One Piece. So i don't think its inherently a bad idea for Family Guy to tackle serious topics. If it actually took it seriously the whole time, i don't think it would've been a problem if the show had had a silly tone before it. But yeah Family Guy definitely didnt handle it well. You were right on tbe money that the main problem is not keeping the jokes separate from the seriousness. Stuff like the things i mentioned i feel are really good at keeping jokes from mixing in and undercutting the serious moments they do

Got the issue with it after the first 40 times you complained about the same things over and over again. What they did to the episode you did to this review. Seriously it felt like most your review was just the same two lines repeated over and over again to make up 70% of your script. If I wanted to hear someone bitch like that for that long repeating themselves over and over again I'd eiyher get remarried to my abusive ex wife or watch the View. Cause you sounded just like them.

Tasteless no. Domestic violence is far too common, unfortunately. Its up to TV shows to shine a spotlight on it. Family Guy is one of the only shows that could give us such a stark view of it. Its never once played as a joke. How Brenda acts to what is happening to her. is extremely accurate. I do agree that maybe they should not have had it be quagmires sister. But who else could it have been as a victim? Peter no. Joe would not work as well. because joe would be on board with killing him right from the moment. the moment he agrees to kill him is a powerful moment. they should have waited till Cleveland and his famly come back. and did it then. that way they could have it be Roberta who is getting abused. by a white man of course. It looses all meaning if he is black. He has to look like the majority of abusers. Even if black people have a higher % of domestic abusers. There will still be more white abusers. Lets say whites have a 5% of domestic abusers. And black men have 10%. There will still be a way more white abusers than black. The majority of people in America are white. I think the country is 20% black. Its ultimately an escapist fantasy. Anyone who has ever had a family member abused. we would all wish what Peter, quagmire and joe did. It really is The case. if this was made by the Simpson's or South Park it would be great. Would be called ground braking. Domestic violence Charity's would sing the show praise. For the episode. But because its famly guy its shit.
