Stewie Griffin-Discuss

Author
Time
A thread for the insanely popular Napoleonic baby of Family Guy. What made me start this thread was reading Wikipedia's article on the character, with a section on his sexuality. In the season before the show was cancelled, it seemed to be leaning toward the possibility that Stewie was gay, making many veiled references. In fact, had the show not been cancelled, there would have been a coming-out episode for him. But when it was cancelled and then revived, that idea was canned, on the basis that it would be easier to write for him if it was ambiguous. I, for one, am glad they did so. Ambiguity is oftentimes funnier, and, without it, we probably wouldn't have Stewie's sexy parties! So, what do you think? Is he or isn't he?

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Stewie totally was not gay.

"Do her; do her; do her; lose the pigtails and we'll talk.." Does that sound gay?

I prefer to think he isn't either, and, nowadays, he isn't, like that scene you described. But back in the past, they were grooming him to be gay, like when he went to high school and made references to doing something to a guy that required him to need mouthwash...

But it was always ambiguous, like he was bi. I mean, the quotation I gave is from season 2, I believe

I love when he plays red light/green light with the Playboy bunnies, and the loser has to have sex with Rob Schneider. "Makin' copies!" "I was born in 1987." It was at that point that I suddenly felt very old for being older than a Playboy bunny. It was very funny, but it made me very sad, too.

I think in the latest season they were pushing the gay innuendos pretty hard... though it actually started mid-season 2 when he states: "Wouldn't it be marvelous if I turned out to be a homosexual?"

But they've been returning to Stewie's evil roots lately which is good. For example in "The Courtship of Stewie's Father" Stewie is once again hellbent on killing his mother and does plenty of evil things to her (Peter even helps him in one scene, tying up Lois and putting her in the trunk of their car before driving it into a lake). Also, in "Sibling Rivalry" Stewie battles it out with his now materialized brother Bertram and they have many exchanges similar to the season 3 episode "Emission Impossible".

So, give or take, Stewie isn't any more gay that he was before the show was cancelled... and I think it will stay ambiuous because it is a fun idea to play around with.
Don't forget: with Lacuna, you can forget.

Why do you keep referring to show the being cancelled? I watch new episodes every Sunday. (or do you mean recent cancellation, because actually the past 3 weeks have been repeats)

The show was cancelled a few years ago, jag. But reruns on Adult Swim became so popular that Fox revived the show last season.

Ok, so the show was cancelled (what y'all were referring to), but a new season started right? I'm just confused as to why you're ignoring the new season.

Um... we're not. We've mentioned it quite frequently in this thread.

If you consider 'once' quite frequently then ok, I misunderstood.

No, I meant nearly every post in this entire topic. My first post said, "But when it was cancelled and then revived, that idea was canned," followed by references to Stewie's sexy parties. I mentioned the red light/green light fantasy, which was a new season episode. Duke said that lately they've been returning to Stewie's evil tendencies. If that's not bringing up the new season, I don't know what'll do it for you.

Ok, fine. But 'mentioned' and 'referenced' are quite different. I don't have the episodes memorized hehe...

All you accused us of was ignoring the new season.

LOL sweet a new debate..

BUT, my new argument isn't that you ignored the new season. Because you clearly didn't.

My new argument is that it wasn't 'mentioned' often as you had put it. But it WAS 'referenced' often. That's why I said it had been mentioned only once, by you.

But it was indeed referenced 'quite often' as you had put it.

Well, if you want to get technical, Duke "mentioned" the new season as well, bringing the total up to two. So, in that context, neither of us were right, but I'm less wrong because I used a non-specific method of counting, while you specifically said it was only mentioned once.

Maybe I should be a debating major (assuming it exists) instead of a theatre major?

It doesn't exist as far as I know. But uh, you could be a lawyer?

It's always fun to pwn people verbally.

Nah. But I look forward to the day where I can say, "I'm not a lawyer, but I play one on TV."
