There are some people who have watched this episode and say "It wasn't funny." Well, that doesn't mean it's bad. This episode shows that even a cartoon sitcom can be serious. People are acting like it was supposed to be funny, like "I only laughed twice". The suicide talk wasn't a joke, if that was what you were thinking. No duh it wasn't funny. But this episode showed the seriousness of Brian's depression; people can relate to that. And it doesn't sugarcoat it like many other times. There is plenty of clever writing in this, and just casual conversation, like how most people would talk. Kind of reminded me of Pulp Fiction in that aspect. That's how people talk. They weren't trying to make you laugh, they were just talking like any other 2 people would. It was deep. I'm glad that Seth had the balls to make this episode. It was great. It's just mostly the people who don't ever think deeply and don't understand how sometimes people really are that cut this episode down. They just expect jokes and randomness probably because that's all they want, or they can't comprehend how realistic this episode was and just don't get that life isn't always fun and games.

I've seen a lot of horrible reviews for this episode and it's all coming from people who thought it lacked comedy. What makes this episode so special is that it shows the depths at which this show can explore. It doesn't always have to be about humor. This episode shows a really powerful message about how two people react when they are forced into a bad situation and are stuck together for a few days and on the brink of losing their minds. The relationship between Brian and Stewie is my favorite of any characters on the show and this episode was the best of them together and the worst of them all in one. Everyone who hated on this episode must not be mature enough to understand the concept. It was brilliant and well thought of, one of my favorite episodes by far

Briand and Stewie, my favorite Family Guy characters are the star in the series 150th episode of course entitled: Brian and Stewie.

This was not you're typical Family Guy episode, no cutaways, drama and no characters beside of Briand and Stewie make this a very special episode. For me everything worked, yes the long poop eating joke will disgust some, or A lot, but i digged it.

There where plenty of hilarious moments, like Stewie's background on his mobile phone, but the real star of this episode was the drama and when i realized that the poop joke was not just there to be 'funny' but to be important to the story i knew it: this episode rules. I never cared so much for the characters as in this episode, some of the stuff they talk about is goes deep and its not something you'd expect from Family Guy.

This episode was fantastic, if you can get past the poopy jokes you will find an unique episode that will be hated by most, but loved by some

Family Guy is a TV series that I have a lot of problems with.

For the most part, I do not find the show's humor funny. The majority of jokes in Family Guy rely on either lazy pop culture references and mean spirited jokes that don't work. This episode (for the most part) is unlike any other episode of Family Guy.

For starters, this episode contains no cutaway gags (which I am THRILLED about). One of the main things I hate about Family Guy is the terrible cutaway gags which drive away from the main plot. I know that Family Guy relies a lot more on jokes than storytelling and character development (which is mainly why I don't like the show very much), but this episode does exactly that, storytelling and character development.

There's only two characters in Family Guy that I like (for the most part), Stewie and Brian Griffin. Stewie and Brian are the only Family Guy characters that I ever found enjoyable. Stewie is easily the funniest character in the show, and I feel that Stewie's character got better as the show went on (and all the other characters got worse as the show continued). Brian is the only other Family Guy character I like (Pre Season 12). He's the voice of reason for the show and is basically a metaphor of people who want to do better but aren't very good at trying to be better (I personally believe BoJack Horseman pulls that off a lot better).

This episode of Family Guy is the only episode of the show I truly love for 2 reasons:

1. The only 2 characters from Family Guy that I like are the only characters in this episode 2. This episode is very different from the rest of the series

I'll say this first, I have mixed feelings about the first act of the episode. I loved seeing Brian and Stewie interacting with each other and even having a dramatic moment when Brian smacks Stewie (even though Stewie deserves the smack), and I liked how it showed Brian's better half when he agrees to do the thing for Stewie after he smacked him and Stewie was being unreasonable.

Now, about the thing...

The first act of this episode has a scene when Brian eats Stewie's poop from his diaper, licks his ass, and then eats up Stewie's vomit afterwards. Thankfully, this is the only bad part of the episode, the rest of the episode is much better after that scene.

The second act of this episode is when the story starts to get REALLY good. After Brian and Stewie realise that they'll be stuck in the vault for a whole weekend, they decide to get drunk. After at first being silly, they soon start to get serious. Stewie becomes harsh to Brian, which then leads to Brian becoming harsh to Stewie and eventually pulling out a gun to him. Even though Brian shouldn't have pulled out a gun at his BEST FRIEND, it is important to remember that they're both drunk in this scene. They then argue a bit longer and Stewie accidentally shoots the gun and they hide under the table and hug each other (which was a sweet moment, but also a blink and you miss moment).

The third and final act of this episode is one of the few moments in TV/Film that made me cry.

The final act of the episode shows Stewie and Brian having a serious and dramatic discussion about life, death, and purpose. Even though the scene is very serious, it does throw in humour every now and again, but the humour is realistic and sounds like witty remarks that someone would spout out in a serious discussion, so it works. At the end of the episode, Stewie tells Brian how much he means to them, they snuggle up together (which was adorable), and Brian reads David Copperfield to Stewie.

The final scene of the episode shows the vault door opening as Brian wakes up. He carries Stewie and walks out of the bank vault, after experiencing a weekend that they would never forget.

This episode is absolutely amazing, and it blew me away. I understand why some people dislike this episode, due to the disgusting moments in the first act, and the fact that a show which doesn't care about its characters suddenly wants us to care about them. I do get the negative criticism this episode receives.

I believe this episode could only be done with Brian and Stewie, and no other Family Guy characters. I personally treat this episode more like a short film than an episode of a show that I don't like very much.

I highly recommend giving this episode a watch (but only if you can handle gross out jokes and mature themes).

I give this episode a 10/10. It may have its bad moments in the first act, but the good moments of the episode more than make up for the very few bad moments.

What Brian had to eat, was so disgusting and described to be so horrible I started getting disgusted and nauseous too.

It caught me off guard because, I don't expect that kind of thing from Family Guy.

I really liked and, hated the gross out at the same time.

Other than that, it was nice seeing them get drunk, act really silly , have fun until the bank opened up in the morning while they were trapped in the vault.

It was fun watching them bond and get closer together.

This should have been 22 minutes I didn't like the filler too much after they got out of the bank vault.

After 149 episodes of (mostly) mindless toilet humor, this episode was easily the greatest family guy episode. It deals with issues like suicide very seriously, has no cutaways, no music, just a casual but still very serious and dramatic tone throughout the entire episode. And it's done very well. There are people who hate this episode. Those people prefer the toilet humor, the retard jokes, the cutaways, and I can respect that. When they saw this episode they were probably disappointed with that lack of humor. But hear me out. When it is revealed that Brian wanted to commit suicide I just sat there, shocked. I couldn't believe it, and Stewie reacted perfectly. In my opinion if family guy ever has a movie they need to do something like this again. Not for the whole time, maybe just the last 1/4 of the end. And also, when the credits came up with no music I *nearly* shed a man tear. 10/10

I have been very sceptical at Family Guy in recent times where you don't need me to tell you the humour has perhaps lost some of its edge but in this episode a daring move was made. Just two characters, one setting and no cutaways. Intriguing. Most episodes I'd say over the past three seasons I think I could rate no more than a seven but this episode was a real revelation. In the episode Brian and Stewie are locked in a bank vault overnight and begin to talk, insult each other and get drunk. Even though more happens in this episode besides what I'm saying here, the episode is essentially divided into two major parts. Number one Stewie needs changing and with no more diapers to speak of in the vault he needs Brian to eat the excrement and rid the diaper of the feces. Now I am not going to lie this part was a little unpleasant but it wasn't just mindless toilet humour I think when you look at the episode as a whole. This displayed Stewie's tendency to be generally devious and its one of those times where he has shown an element of evil that we haven't seen outside of the usual comedic evil that is offered by the character. After they get drunk, they talk about the gun found by Stewie in Brian's safety deposit box and the fact that its purpose is to be there in case Brian wants to kill himself. Now this is the first time where Brian's underlying depression has been exposed. We've seen before in the typical Family Guy style of the put downs he has been on the receiving end of and the trouble he has had with his relationships but that now that sadness is there for all who watch to see. In this we see just what Brian and Stewie mean to each other and the fact that Stewie has a great respect for Brian in a way that no other characters on the show have and vice versa. That is as far as going to go as seeing the conclusion if you have any prior conceptions about Family Guy's recent quality before it may give you a surprise, it certainly gave me one. It was an episode that showed the fact that Family Guy still had some emotional abilities in it and even though it was always going to be an episode outside of the norm and that normal service would be resumed soon enough it was still a welcome episode and one I am so glad they made.

This episode is not the typical family guy episode. There are no cutaways, and there's actually a coherent storyline (very rare with the recent episodes they have been putting out). Plus, it was the 150th episode, so I was optimistic.

However, instead of going back to the Family Guy roots, this episode tried to be serious. There's some toilet humor in here, but the main point of this episode is to be serious. I really think that the creators tried to make Family Guy more like South Park, which can be funny and moral. However, this episode was just an uncomfortable story about depression and suicide with all the jokes coming at the beginning. And frankly for a cartoon, it was way too serious without any humor to lighten the mood.

It's an utter shame that with such a landmark episode, the creators would take the show in a completely new direction. The main storyline, which is good, deserves to be in a play where adults can balance the moral undertones. This storyline does not belong on a network cartoon show where people want to entertained without having to think about the deep moral undertones of society.

Why i wrote that because of the truth hidden in many jokes by the characters is so true that u just laugh at it and that is what the real world is doing well that was my opinion. Peace.

I loved this episode which is a surprise since it might be the most quiet and dramatic episode. It showed that the family guy writers truly have a different side to them than the regular toilet humor (excusing the diaper part). It created real character and unveiled feelings between Brian and Stewie that every family guy fan knew existed, but was never made clearer until this episode. Brian admitting he made a means to kill himself by leaving a gun in his vault truly touched me, especially when Stewie said he was the only person he really liked..

Well written and well played Family Guy. I will never forget this episode or the humanity it brought with it.

This episode is lovely. This is the first time i ever write a review for anything in my Life. I saw a short clip on reels and suddenly felt the urge watch the whole episode. So I searched and watched it. It didn't disappoint me at all. A perfect blend of comedy and sadness, not too much and not too less. The emotional connectivity the writers tries to showcase just work perfectly. Anyone can go through anything in life. It doesn't mean people are fine if they don't express it just like us. It teaches us to be there for people we love,people we truly care about. They might not ask for it but they deserve it.
