History WMG / FamilyGuy

* Brian was ironically([[NotSoDifferent or perhaps predictably]]) a smug, conservative republican who grew up in the 50s, explaining his racist attitude. When he died, a mistake was made and he was reincarnated into a dog, which explains why he's intelligent. All other anthropomorphic animals(except for [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad Klaus]], who had his soul transferred artificially) are the result of the wrong soul going to the wrong species. Considering [[spoiler:[[MoralEventHorizon what he did]] in "Herpe The Love Sore"]], Brian will probably be sent to Doggy Hell.

* Lois is not just the evil, but [[FreudianTrio the Id to Marge's Superego.]] While their both milfs, they have opposite ways of dealing with this. Marge prefers to be more subdued about her sexuality, and her [[Fetish kinks]] can come out more potent(like public sex). Lois, however, prefers to take TheHedonist approach to her sexuality, so it's become mundane

[[WMG: Meg really is a [[{{Transgender}} transman]]]]

[[WMG: Meg being {{Transgender}} will come back in a future episode]]

Female!Peter and Male!Lois will resemble the ones from a CutawayGag in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS11E20FarmerGuy Farmer Guy]]". Male!Meg will resemble a [[Recap/StewieGriffinTheUntoldStory teenage Ron]]. Female!Stewie will have blonde hair, since he often wears a blond wig while in drags.

[[WMG: Herbert does sexually solicit his child victims physically despite his old age, however it's never shown or explicitly implied because [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar the writers couldn't get it past the radars]].]]

He didn't seem all that upset that Quagmire lied about being a virgin in order to have him sleep with his wife. The simulation(which is supposed to show just what would happen) where Stewie kills Lois has Peter sleep with Bonnie and Joe seems cool with it. And she's implied to have cheated on him beyond what we see. We know Joe's into voyeurism by pretending his wife is someone else, so maybe he has a fetish for being cuckolded. Or maybe there's an open marriage. Whenever the two are in conflict over infidelity, it's because there's a difference between [[CasualKink sleeping with someone else with your spouse's permission]] and doing so behind the other's back without their consent.

Which would most likely be explanation to why are most of fathers in ''Family Guy'', ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'' abusive towards their children. Some of fathers incudle:

Francis Griffin (Not biological father, but rather adoptive father)

[[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad Jack Smith]]

[[WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow LeVar "Freight Train" Brown]]

Which would most likely be explanation to why are most of fathers in Family Guy, WesternAnimation/AmericanDad and WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow abusive towards their children. Some of fathers incudle:

In one episode (the ''Film/{{Poltergeist}}'' parody episode, I think), Stewie mentions to Brian how he met Jesus, who said that his name is really Jesus Hong. In Real Life, the leader of the Taiping Rebellion, a man named [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Xiuquan Hong Xiuquan]], began his attempt to take over China after visions brought on by a nervous breakdown convinced him that he was the younger brother of Jesus. Granted, Hong is a very common name in China, and this could be a coincidence, but I have to wonder if the writers were at least subconsciously thinking of this guy when they wrote that.

Why wasn't Meg replaced? Remember the episode that was a Film/{{Poltergeist}} reference? The original Meg is a gate to their world!

[[WMG: "Seth MacFarlane's father was abusive.]]

[[WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow LeVar "Freight Train" Brown]]

* Peter going back in time with Death is partly responsible for Lois and Quagmire's CharacterDerailment. Due to her time with [[AnythingThatMoves Quagmire]], Lois became a lot more kinky and open to [[YourCheatingHeart affairs.]] Considering how Quagmire of all people had successfully settled down to a happy (if really perverted) relationship with Lois, it's likely that the brief bond they shared meant a lot to him. [[FreudianExcuse He became more of a jerk because Present Peter stole Lois from him.]] As for why he even stayed friends with Peter, he probably considering the man [[IdenticalGrandson one of his more dickish relatives.]] [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad Roger the Alien]], however, ''wasn't'' the consequence of time travel: we know from the show that [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Roger has secret families]] so it isn't implausible he'd stay with the Griffins for some time.

Which is why he abuses Meg. Though [[PsychopathicManchild nowhere near a model husband]], Peter at least tries. Lois, however, has proven to be [[YourCheatingHeart unfaithful]], [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative with him]] and much of her love comes off as completely shallow. On some level he realizes he made a terrible mistake marrying her, but consciously can't accept it. His method of dealing with these feelings? [[AbusiveParents Focus his rage on his children]], the product of the terrible mistake. The fact he can't even be sure they're his kids helps with this. So why abuse Meg most of all? Meg looks a lot like her mother([[InformedAttractiveness regardless of what]] [[InformedDeformity they say]]), meaning its easy to just imagine her as Lois. Notice how Peter is usually the first person [[PetTheDog to act human and be nice to her?]] That's because Peter has no real problem with Meg herself, and its part of diverting his hatred towards his wife

The simulation(which is supposed to show just what would happen) where Stewie kills Lois has Peter sleep with Bonnie and Joe seems cool with it.

The winner of a messed up election there the candidates are Michael Keaton, Kevin Conroy, & Christian Bale. And since this will be in the Family Guy universe, whoever the winner is will be batshit insane, much like Mayor Adam West (though for different reasons).

He knows that death isn't final for him, given Death returned him to his own body after being struck by lightning once he helped sort out his problems. Even earlier when Death was put out of commission, it made him(and everyone else) immortal in that period. That has got to screw up your perception of the value of life and death. It led Peter to think that a lot of his more dangerous stunts and reckless attitude was OK because he's pals with Death, becoming even more drunken, rude and gluttonous now that his perception on consequence has been broken. [[DumbassHasAPoint And he's]] [[JerkassHasAPoint not completely wrong]], given in a later episode where he kills himself with drunk diving Death does a favor and lets him have an epiphany before returning him to his body.

Even if Peter's cutaway gags of his ancestors [[IdenticalGrandson looking just like him]], he does have an older sister who clearly has the Peter look that wouldn't have been a result of the affair with the Irish drunk. And a picture of Nate Griffin, who clearly looks like a black Peter. Plus as both Chris and his many sperm-donation progeny show, [[StrongFamilyResemblance the Griffin look is strong]]. Also, the Griffins have Irish ancestry. While his last name isn't Griffin, Mickey [=McFinnegan=] could easily be a relative of Francis Griffin, allowing Francis' ancestors to look like Peter despite not being his real father-they're still part of the same family, and one that usually tends towards a StrongFamilyResemblance(Francis and Stewie being the exception to the rule, and Meg taking after her mother). Francis and Mickey may be even more related than just cousins-[[CutawayGag cutaway gags]] don't have Peter's family be all that virtuous, so Josiah "wanted to name Bugs Bunny Ephraim the Retarded Rabbit" Griffin could've led to an Irish lovechild. Might be why Thelma cheated on Francis with him in the first place despite it being a choice between a jackass and a drunk-the drunk [[AFamilyAffair reminded him of her husband, except better looking and more loose]].

[[WMG: The most recent Christmas episode, Christmas is Coming, takes place when Meg was younger]]
This episode dealt with Meg's first orgasm, and it seemed odd to me because it seemed to retcon several episodes where Meg has been mention that she had sex and/or masturbated, and they way she and others had talked about budding sexuality seemed to sound a bit younger than her 18 years of age, or I guess it be better to say she sounded inexperienced than she sounded in other episodes. Then after thinking, I realized it could be plasable that she was 16 when this episode took place (because for one, she's shown driving, so she couldn't be younger than driving age, and I believe Don't Make Me Over, where she lost her virginity, took place when she was 16 at least). The "closing the book" ending cements this theory that this is a retelling. Going along with the Griffins doing a family show theory brought up in the Behind the Scenes episode, this story could have happened when Meg was actually 16, but they thought they shouldn't do it because they thought the subject matter, female sexuality, too crass to talk about on a Fox station, even for Family Guy, at least in the 2000's, or even the early New Ten's. But possibly with the popularity of puberty positive shows like Netflix's Big Mouth, the network gave the okay to do this episode, and when they made it, they sorta used more modern jokes and updated references to stay relevant to today's audience. Another reason this theory could also be possible is because in this episode Stewie was afraid of Santa, similar to the first Christmas episode of the series, but more in line with a regular baby and/or modern Stewie than with Stewie's characterization in the first few seasons, so it's not impossible that this episode could take place before the year Stewie and Brian met the real Santa in Road to the North Pole.

[[WMG: [[TangledFamilyTree The Griffin family]] is entirely accurate.]]
Except maybe the [[IdenticalGrandson blatant resemblance to Peter.]] Sure, Peter's relative cutaways are absurd, but then again so is the series. Plus his personal life is as wacky as his bloodline. Being simple-minded, Peter probably calls all his ancestors "Griffin" even if they aren't members of the Griffin family-though this could be true one way [[IncestIsRelative or another.]] And in the [[RuleOfFunny MacFarlane universe]], [[FamousAncestor famous people have gotten into enough wackiness to get around]] [[ReallyGetsAround quite a bit.]] Now for how they may all be related…
* Famous ancestors are the result of [[RefugeInAudacity the Griffin family whoring themselves out like a jiggalo.]]
* Griffin isn’t an uncommon surname, so while rare, it’s possible for his parents and grandparents to all share the same name.
* Peter had a great-great uncle who looks like his biological father, and both live in the UK. So it wouldn’t be out of left field for Peter to be descended by that side of his family

[[WMG: The Griffin family is filled with double in-law relationships and KissingCousins of various degrees.]]
It's why [[IdenticalGrandson Peter's ancestors look alike]], particularly Nate Griffin who looks like him and isn't a cutaway gag. Nate's wife is the sister of Lois' ancestor, which already makes Peter and Lois distant cousins-but it could go further. Nate mentions he slept with his wife's "fine-ass sister", aka the one who became Lois' ancestor-perhaps he fathered her kid, ironically making the racist Mr Pewterschmidt the descendant of the black slave his family used to own. Peter has multiple Griffin great-grandparents because his mother and legal father are all descendants of Nate. Peter's real father Mickey is the grandson of Peter's official great-great aunt Angus(he's Scottish and has the same red hair as Mickey), making his official and biological father second cousins...also some sort of cousin to his mom. The number of third, second or even first cousin relationships, possibly even BrotherSisterIncest ([[CrossesTheLineTwice this is Family Guy, after all]]) results in so many of Peter's relatives basically being clones of each other. The negative effects of inbreeding could also be responsible for Peter and his son's stupidity. Also Stewie's football head, [[ButtMonkey and Meg's supposed ugliness]]-they're starting to drift into Hapsburg territory.
