History Awesome / Familyguy

* In the episode Yug Ylimaf, Brian has to finish the time machine (and apparently solve some hefty equations) with only Stewie's notes to make time go forward instead of backward again. He picks up the notes and says: "Oh, math, you terrible dick." The funny part? The notebook prominently features the structural formula of - you guessed it - [[IncrediblyLamePun Methamphetamine]].

[[caption-width-right:317:"Meg... that was... awesome!"]]

Awesome moments from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''!

'''Meg:''' ...Yes, Daddy...

'''Lois:''' *smugly* That's right.\\
[[WouldHitAGirl *Peter punches her back*]]\\
'''Lois:''' You can't hit me, I'm a girl!\\

* From "The Simpsons Guy", we have the fight fans have been waiting fifteen years for- Peter Griffin vs Homer Simpson, and the fight does not disappoint. The best part of the whole duel? Peter actually wins the fight! (Albeit due to dumb luck)

'''Stewie''': *shocked* I-I...what?

-->'''Chris:''' (eyeing Peter) I can't wait for you to fall asleep tonight.

--->'''Stewie:''' You know, my hooligan friend, I've been racking my brain in a thus far fruitless attempt to resolve our recent unpleasantness. Then it dawned on me. Your cruelty merely stems from some deep-seated inner pain. So, the obvious remedy is a healthy dose of [[SuddenlyShouting OUTER PAIN!]] (''Pulls out a net launcher'')

-->'''Stewie (calmly):''' Alright, I guess this is the night bitches die.

--> '''Stewie:''' "Look, this girl is making out with a baby, a ''nude'' baby!!"

* In "Fifteen Minutes Of Shame", when the Griffins are eating at a seafood restaurant. Rather than wait for his food to be brought to him, Stewie tells them to take the rubber bands off his chosen lobster, then goes into the tank and ''wrestles with it!'' [[FunnyBackgroundEvent All while the others are arguing about the new reality show they're a part of.]] Stewie then drags his lobster to the table, victorious.

-->'''Stewie:''' I didn't want to do that, they were very nice to me up till then.

-->'''Rallo''': Wassup man!\\

-->'''Brian:''' You people are AWFUL. You know, this is what's wrong with society. Nobody bats an eye if a woman dates an older man but God forbid it's the other way around! There's nothing wrong with me dating Rita. She's beautiful, she's a charming woman and I love her!

'''Stewie:''' Ha! You got nothing going on.

-->'''Brian''': You know what? [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you]]! I'm not a racist, all right? I just told a bad joke. There's a huge difference. But nobody on the Internet ever takes the time to ask themselves, "Is this worth freaking out over?" Or, "Are there bigger problems in the world than this tweet?" Well, I assure you, there are. And just for the record, I love black people. I watch tons of black porn. So, what do you all want from me, huh? You-you want to ruin my life? Then congratulations. You did it. Everybody hates me. I can't leave the house without getting harassed. No one will hire me. (Stewie: That was a problem before.) I can't turn on my phone without strangers telling me to kill myself or that they're gonna kill my family. Leave me alone! I'm the self-righteous, liberal douchebag, not you! I've kissed a transsexual before! How many of you can say that?! Where's my fucking medal?! I am so far left, I'm spinning in circles, you shitheads! Instead of killing myself, I should kill all of you!

-->'''Quagmire:''' Okay, I'll tell you: You are the worst person I know. You constantly hit on your best friend's wife; the man pays for your food and rescued you from certain death and ''this'' is how you repay him? And to add insult to injury, you defecate all over his yard. And you're such a sponge. You pay for nothing and always say, "Oh, I'll get you later," but later never comes! And what really bothers me is you pretend you're this deep guy who loves women for their souls when all you do is date bimbos. [[HypocriticalHumor Yeah, I date women for their bodies]], [[AtLeastIAdmitIt but at least I'm honest about it]]. I don't buy them a copy of ''[[Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye Catcher in the Rye]]'' and lecture them with some 7th grade interpretation about "[[GeniusBonus Holden Caulfield is some profound intellectual." He wasn't! He was a spoiled brat,]] and that's why you like him so much. [[ThisLoserIsYou He's you]]! God, you're pretentious! And you delude yourself by thinking you're some great writer even though you're terrible. You know, I should have known Cheryl Tiegs didn't write me that note. [[CompressedVice She would've known there's no "a" in the word "definite."]] And I-- I think what I hate most about you is your textbook liberal agenda - how we should "legalize pot, man", how big business is crushing the underclass, how homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America. Well, what have '''''you''''' done to help? [[AssPull I worked down at the soup kitchen, Brian. Never seen]] ''[[AssPull you]]'' [[AssPull down there!]] You wanna help? GRAB A LADLE! Oh, and driving a Prius doesn't make you Jesus Christ. Oh wait, you don't ''believe'' in Jesus Christ or ''any'' religion for that matter because "religion is for idiots!" Well, who the hell are you to talk down to anyone? You failed college twice, which isn't nearly as bad as your failure as a father. How is that son of yours you never see? But you know what? I could forgive all of that - ''all of it'' - if you weren't ''such a bore''! That's the worst of it, Brian. You're just a big, sad, alcoholic ''bore!'' *sighs* Well, I'll see you, Brian. *gets up and leaves* Thanks for the fucking steak.

-->'''Tom Tucker:''' And this just in, Quahog. Tom Tucker is packing.\\
'''Pulls out a gun and drops it on the desk'''\\

* Another for Quagmire in "Lottery Fever". After he and Joe put up with endless abuse from Peter after his new fortune goes to his head, Quagmire [[WhatTheHellHero finally draws the line following a prank involving a BB gun and Joe's eye]]. After Peter is naturally unapologetic and boasts of his money, Quagmire finally blasts at him to screw his money and storms out (okay he gets a shot to the throat first but still).

'''Peter:''' Yah-ha! Looks like this is one ''we'' beat ''you'' to.

Say what you want about this TV show, but there are some awesome moments.

Awesome moments in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.

** Peter then taking out Stewie when Lois couldn't bring herself to do so was one of these, even if his ''Film/LethalWeapons'' quote didn't fit.

-->'''Chris''': She was on [=PCP=] that night you idiots!

* In "Extra Large Medium", Chris dates Ellen a girl with Down Syndrome. On their date, she turns out to be a demanding bitch and eventually pushes Chris to his limit. He explodes at her and tells her that just because she's handicapped doesn't make it okay for her to be mean to others.

* "Cat Fight" counts as another even-handed climatic brawl between Brian and Quagmire, even if, again, they are both in Jerkass mode for most of the episode building up to it.

* [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Charlie Brown]] finally kicking the football, thanks to Peter going all Film/RoadHouse on Lucy in "Brian's Got a Brand New Bag".

** Liam Neeson himself. Peter Griffin can get in long incredibly destructive battles with the Giant Chicken but can't last 5 minutes against the badassery that is Liam Neeson, in fact, Peter can barely even scratch the guy. There's also SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome going into play as Mr. Neeson was a former boxer and trained in various martial arts for his film roles whereas Peter is an overweight, drunken lout who only got through his fights through dumb luck. Not in this one though.

* "Patriot Games" has Stewie beating up Brian to near-death, ''twice''. Stewie eventually feels guilty about this and allows Brian to give him one "free revenge shot" to make-up for all the torture he's done to him. Brian decides to spice things up by [[ParanoiaFuel not telling him when then free hit will be delivered]]. Stewie is overcome with paranoia of Brian and to the point that he eventually resorts to [[SelfHarm beating himself up]] in an attempt to satisfy Brian. Then, when Stewie has seemingly forgotten about the free-hit, Brian shoves him in front of a moving bus.

--->'''Herbert:''' Say good night, you Nazi bastard!

* In the episode "German Guy," Herbert's rescue of Chris and Peter from a former Nazi. Doubles as an [[OverlyLongGag Overly Long]] SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}.

* Knocking Hitler off his unicycle and punching him in the face. Just... damn. As a meta case, he also made a [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment cutaway]] relevant to the story in the process.

* Meta-example in "Livin' on a Prayer," where Lois manages to respectfully convince a Christian Scientist family to allow their seriously-ill son to receive medical treatment. Given the show's track record toward organized religion - indeed, given some of the indications earlier in that same episode - this is a great, understated Moment of Awesome, showing the ability to convince someone of one's own point of view without belittling the other person's.

** Meta-example in "Tiegs For Two". Though they were both kinda in "douchebag mode" at the time, Brian once again is defensive to Quagmire's contempt for him for once, and when the two steal each other's girlfriends, they share verbal insults (and compared to the lengthy TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Brian suffers in "Jerome Is The New Black", is quick to point out any of Quagmire's own hypocrisies and shortcomings), and puts up a lighter, but far more even-handed brawl against him.
-->'''Brian:''' Does Jillian know that you're half-polish, Mr. ''Quagelczech?''\\
'''Quagmire:''' ''YOU SON OF A BITCH!!''
** "Cat Fight" counts as another even-handed climatic brawl between Brian and Quagmire, even if, again, they are both in Jerkass mode for most of the episode building up to it.

--->'''Joe:''' You took an oath just the same as me, sheriff. To protect and serve, not to harass and douche. Just 'cause you have a badge doesn't mean you can treat people any way you like. As a law enforcement professional, you have an obligation to be more ethically upstanding than the average man, not less. Now get the Hell out of my town.

* "Quagmire? Fire up the bi-plane. ''My son needs my help.''" This is PETER saying this! And then awesomeness ensues.

-->'''Quagmire:''' Okay, I'll tell you: You are the worst person I know. You constantly hit on your best friend's wife; the man pays for your food and rescued you from certain death and that is how you repay him? And to add insult to injury, you defecate all over his yard. And you're such a sponge. You pay for nothing and always say, "Oh, I'll get you later," but later never comes! And what really bothers me is you pretend that you're this deep guy who loves women for their souls when all you do is date bimbos.

And you delude yourself into thinking you're some great writer even though you're terrible. You know, I should have known Cheryl Tiegs didn't write me that note. [[CompressedVice She would've known there's no "a" in the word "definite."]] And I think what I hate most about you is your textbook liberal agenda - how we should "legalize pot, man", how big business is crushing the underclass and homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America. Well, what have '''''you''''' done to help? [[AssPull I worked down at the soup kitchen, Brian. Never seen]] ''[[AssPull you]]'' [[AssPull down there!]] You wanna help? GRAB A LADLE!

You're just a big, sad, alcoholic ''bore!'' *sighs* Well, I'll see you later, Brian. *gets up and leaves* Thanks for the fucking steak.

* "Run, Chris, Run", after Chris realizes he was only elected Homecoming King because his classmates pitied his mental issues, he [[DontYouDarePityMe angrily tells off the school for trying to make themselves feel good without bothering to get to know]]. He also angrily points out that his Homecoming Queen, a ''dead'' girl who also was elected out of pity, got herself killed by driving while high and he angrily smashes the memorial they built.

* Radio/RushLimbaugh in "Excellence in Broadcasting" for being willing to make fun of himself.

* The opening scene of "PTV": Stewie fends off a bunch of Afghanistanian terrorists including UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden, and when asked who he is, says, "I'm Stewie Griffin. And don't ever let me catch you guys in Quahog!" But then he falls down and onto his trike, where he goes through a montage parodying many classic movies and video game scenes like ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' and ''StarWars'', which happens to be a shoutout to the opening to ''Film/TheNakedGun''.
