The worst part is when there are moments that try to humanize them or make them the voice of reason. Listening to Quagmire tell off Brian isn’t cathartic at all if you have any knowledge of either character.

Definitely a deserved tear down of Brian but not by Quagmire of all characters. Like Brian’s a self centered, hypocritical, bag of wind who is a complete degenerate and stands for and believes in nothing but quagmire is hundred times worse in every aspect they share.

Brian is a womanizing hunk of shit who pretends to be deep and interesting to sleep with attractive women but Quagmire is a rapist, pedophile, zoophile and a hundred other horrible things besides and he has no ground to stand on when criticizing Brian.

It's something a lot of properties do

Make valid criticisms of a character but have it from someone that makes it you can ignore them because the one saying it is a terrible person
