a brave individual with lots of self-confidence and an abundance of talent. So much so that he is above most others but he is humble and down to earth. In fact for the most part he is not aware of his greatness and is as normal as the next guy. To know a Brian Branham is a gift and should be announced to all.

A pretentious douchebag of a dog who always thinks highly of himself and considers himself an intellectual when really the world would be better off without him. He has no consideration or respect for anyone whatsoever, and will go at lengths to try to impress everyone around him, thinking he'll be accepted, but fails to come to terms with the fact that he is a nobody. First of all, he usually tries to hit on Lois every chance he gets, even though she's already married. It also shows due to the fact that Peter does everything for him, even saving him when he was a stray and bringing him into his house, and that proves it. He constantly shits all over the Griffins' yard, which is all he is ever good for as a dog, and he gives people herpes. Along with that, he thinks he deserves Lois more than Peter, due to her husband neglecting her to do other things and that they have more in common, yet he is completely ignorant to the fact that she doesn't want him. Brian Griffin is also not a trustworthy dog and never pays for shit, and when he is asked to do so, he promises to pay later, but really, he fails to keep his promises. No wonder why he stays at Peter's house. Among other problems, Brian is always egotistical and thinks he is the smartest, most deserving, most charming dog in the world when in reality he is none of these, in fact he is the opposite.
Part 2: He can be compared to Holden Caulfield since they both believe themselves to be profoundly smarter than most of their peers but really they are just spoiled brats, which makes it coincidental as Brian seems to idolizes him. Along with being a smug, arrogant loser who thinks he is smart, he tries to prove that he is smart by becoming a writer, but usually comes off as a rather terrible one, since he couldn't spell the word "definite" correctly. Brian Griffin also claims to be extremely liberal, but does nothing to solve problems that most other liberals complain about. Another way he tries to look cool is that he owns and drives a Toyota Prius, but even this fails as he doesn't catch onto the fact that he's a total loser. Brian is also an athiest and looks down on Christians, Jews, etc., thinking of them as idiots, when he himself is even more pathetic. He has failed college twice, but desperately puts on his facade of being an intellectual to hide this fact. When Quagmire calls him out on all of these things, he makes Brian realize the truth, and when Brian tries to make up with him, he usually just makes Quagmire's hatred towards him even worse since he is and will always be a complete nobody. The most important thing, however, is the fact that Brian put up a racist tweet about black people before watching Ride Along 3. In conclusion, I think Brian is the worst character on Family Guy I have ever seen. He is a total shitstain and should kill himself immediately.
