Another fine step towards the character derailment of Brian Griffin. After his performance in "Herpe, the Love Sore", I didn't think he could get any worse. And what do you know, he did. After Brian loses all of his teeth in an extremely grotesque accident caused by Peter, he gets new teeth with help from Quagmire. The new teeth lead to him becoming a real estate agent, and then, he sells Quagmire, the same person who helped him get the job, a horribly run down condo. He tries to hide from Quagmire for 72 hours so he can't back out of the deal, but Quagmire finds him. Understandingly angry, he calls out Brian for his treachery and scolds him. Brian seemingly realizes that he was wrong,and starts a deep speech praising Quagmire, but as he finishes that speech he says "And that is 72 hours, enjoy your (can't type in the remainder of this quote because this site won't let me.) That whole speech meant nothing. Brian was just burning time so Quagmire could be stuck in the deal. Sure, Quagmire hitting Brian with a lamp afterward is satisfying, but that doesn't change the fact that Quagmire still loses in the end. After he helped Brian. Yup, knowingly gives a baby herpes, tries to mooch of his son's success after abandoning him, and screws over the guy who helped him. And this is the same character that fans were begging to get back. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Brian supposed to be one of the characters we're rooting for? Why are the writers trying to make Brian look as bad as possible? Why? I can only see Brian as a full blown antagonist from this point on. He wasn't always like that. He was once an intellectual charming character. But I hate this character now. He has become the worst character on the show for me, even worse than Peter. I stand strong when I say Brian Griffin is the most despicable, immoral being ever constructed.

This is one reason why I hate Brian

In this episode, Peter accidentally breaks Brian's teeth. So Quagmire gets him new teeth. After that, Brian works at a real estate. Then he intentionally scams Quagmire and tries to run away from him. Brian here is just a jerk to someone who helped him with his problem and then scams them. That is just horrible. Now I wish Brian stayed dead after he was killed.

Just awful

It feels like they were trying to make the worst episode using all the bits that don't work in other episodes. Brian's new teeth look ridiculous and not in a way that suggests he can sell real estate. Stewie just isn't funny. And screwing over Quagmire so completely is so far out of Brian's character that it's just dull. The one bright spot is Peter stopping the fire truck trade because he likes it too much. I love much of Family Guy, including a lot that others would find offensive. But watching this episode made me feel like Peter jamming scissors up his nose to avoid listening to Meg's depressing life.

This show just don't care anymore

Jesus Family Guy now is nothing more than just showing needless cruelty.

Peter hurting Brian for enjoying his toy by slamming his face into a fire hydrant is just that, so is Brian screwing over Quagmire the one who paid for his new teeth in surgery.

And what's even worse is I cant even feel sorry for anything horrible happening to a character done by another cause the character it happens to or the one causing it is just as horrible as the other.

Family Guy of course can't tell serious stories/moments or tell moral lessons cause its characters are absolutely awful despicable immoral scumbags. Who never learns anything ever from what horrible thing they're doing.

No like really they're always try to have characters learn from their idiotic or awful behaviour but by the end of the episode onto the next they're regressed right back to the same awful hateable person as before.

Why does this show even bother trying to teach well meaning messages and thoughtful lessons they so obviously don't hold or value? Like wtf kind of person is this careless in what they're doing. I'm so tired of the exact same bs from Family Guy over and over again.

Aren't the writers, actors and the network even more tired?

Like Family Guy season 12 and up is without a doubt purposely trying to be the most hateable thing ever.

The writers here are just putting all their effort into making the most abysmal thing ever they just have to be.

There's no other explanation or reason for why episodes like herpe and the love sore, fresh heir, Brian is a bad father and this one out of many are so incredibly miserable to watch.

This episode is just one of many of their desperate attempts to getting cancelled by being absolutely horribly unpleasant in every way. Why wont it just ever happen though literally everyone wants it?
