Brian's A Bad Father is the Worst Family Guy Episode, Here's Why:
Brian is very unlikable in this episode, as he gets a job on his son's show to continue his writing career and makes adult changes to the show.
The title really does feel that Brian is a bad father.
Brian is extremely hypocritical, he purposefully ignores and avoids his son for no good reason and his excuse is "what does he have to gain from it?" but in the episode "Fresh Heir" he scolds Peter for avoiding Chris for no reason after Peter asks what in it for him.
Despite "Fresh Heir" coming out after this episode, it's still hypocritical.
The subplot which has Peter and Quagmire ending their friendship after Peter shoots Quagmire in the arm is a filler.
Speaking of which, Peter is also unlikable as he shoots Quagmire in the arm after he tries to prove to him that the safety on his gun was on. And they both end their friendship and become bitter enemies.
After Peter and Quagmire ended their friendship, and Joe chooses Quagmire over Peter, and the episode wants you to sympathize with Peter for losing both his friends, when he deserved to lose them both.
Peter's infamous suicide joke: He asks Lois if he wanted to kill himself how does he slit his wrist and Meg's voice is heard off-screen and said sideways for attention and long-ways for results.
It's not a very good way to bring back Brian's son, Dylan since he hasn't appeared on the show nor has been mentioned ever since his first appearance in season 6.
Stewie says, "Oh, that dog o' mine!" in one scene just to get a pathetic laugh from the viewers.
The writing is pretty messed up.
A pretty disturbing scene where Peter gives Joe's infant daughter, Susie a raspberry in the wrong place. In fact, Joe doesn't arrest Peter for this, even though he's a cop
After this episode, Dylan no longer appears. As if the writers wrote him out completely! To make matters worse, Dylan never is mentioned or even appears in another episode after this one!
