*** Rebuttal: Personally, I think the speech definitely should have come from someone other than Quagmire (ideally Joe, considering that he's another of the show's [[ButtMonkey Butt Monkies]], but the points ''are'' legit. Also, just because Brian isn't ''raising'' his kid anymore doesn't mean he can't ''see'' him, and the point wasn't that Brian wasn't raising his son, but rather that he never saw his son. Although, again, considering Quagmire has a daughter (and, if the almost-a-cutaway gag is to be believe, multiple illegitimate sons), it would have actually made sense coming from someone other than Quagmire. But, let me make it clear: I'm defending the points themselves, not who they were made by.

Words from the author of the fic itself



to:

**This is coming from Meowth's Toon Dragon himself: When I wrote this story, I was mainly writing it as a way of catharsis after seeing the ending to Quagmire's Dad, an episode I STILL haven't rewatched since then. I am genuinely shocked how well-received its been and the thought of showing it to Seth HAS crossed my mind a few times. Finding it on TVTropes is another shock and a huge delight, since I'm a big fan of the site. Since then, even with "Tiegs for Two", my opinion on Quagmire has not changed one bit and Brian is still my favorite character. But it seems maybe the writers HAVE come across my story based on what happened at the end of "Quagmire and Meg". Either way..... it's a big honor to know my work is liked and I couldn't be happier to know its made people entertained!

** Yeah, DARTHYAN, YMMV on all of that. While it's true Brian usually doesn't fess up to some of his problems (probably one of this biggest character flaws), it just doesn't change the fact Quagmire is inherently a ''much'' worse person at heart when compared to Brian. He has no problem sexually harassing teenagers, or apparently having his way with a teenage gagged and tied up ("Dear diary- Jackpot."). At least Brian tries to be a good person, even if his own faults tend to sometimes get in the way of that, compared to Quagmire who tends to do whatever he feels can get him laid in a situation most of the time. Oh, and the father thing is complete bullshit. Brian managed to ''completely'' turn that kids life around, from a delinquent to an honestly good person. The reason he went back with his mother was because Peter, Joe, Cleveland, ''and Quagmire'' thought he was being 'too much of a buzzkill' while raising him. So basically, Quagmire is part of the reason he's not raising his kid anymore, yet he still called him out on it during his speech. Quagmire did a good job finding a good home for his daughter until he mentioned he had no problems having sex with her once she turned 18, and during the episode when Peter had to repeat 3rd Grade, saw he had at ''least'' three kids in the school. His response was to promptly run away, so no- Brian isn't the failure as a father, Quagmire is. Brian may not be a saint, but he is when you compare what he's done to what Quagmire has done throughout the years.

* ''Comments:'' An absolutely [[TearJerker heart-wrenching piece.]] Wonderfully written, this not-too-long tale keeps everyone involved nearly-perfectly in-character, offers at least some closure for anyone who wondered if Meg found out Kevin had died, and if you're not at least tearing up by the end, then you have no soul.

** Second opinion by DARTHYAN: That sort of misses the point. Quagmire flat out admits that he does bad things as well. The only difference is that he doesn't try to act like he's a paragon of knowledge and virtue (Brian's claim to be into smart women yet always dating bimbos with good bodies, accusing christians of being ignorant and cruel when he not only failed college twice but failed as a father as well, and preaching on his soapbox about the plight of the poor while not doing jack shit about it). Some of Quagmire's points are legit.

* ''Comments'': If you're one of those people who's disgusted with Quagmire's hypocrisy in hating Brian when he's just about the last person who has any right to look down on anyone, and for beating a completely ignorant Brian at the end of ''Quagmire's Dad'' for something he had absolutely no idea about, then this is the fic for you. Stewie throws all of Quagmire's hypocritical bullshit back in his face, wonderfully deconstructing his original TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Brian by throwing all of Quagmire's accusations back in his face, and giving Quagmire the fate he so richly deserves.

Working heavily from Meg's experiences in ''Dial Meg For Murder'' and acclaimed for its portrayal of Meg going AxCrazy with a shotgun and killing her family, its portrayal of Brian, and its ability to bring people back from the dead just to have more fun with them. Rumours of the Giant Chicken seeking vengeance are abound, and the question raised in the summary becomes more legitamate with every chapter - will anybody survive?

** Second opinion by Tropers/Pimpdaddy. I have to disagree on this one. The chapters are very short, and the fact that they need to fill up a good chunk of each chapter with cut-away gags is pretty obnoxious. More than half of the second chapter was just line for line quotes from various episodes as "flashbacks". It doesn't really seem to stand out as a particularly memorable fan fiction, let alone an example of a great one.
