After going to a universe where "Everyone has to poop right just now", they go into a universe where everything is run by {{Disney}}. They're happy with staying there until the inhabitants attack Mort the Jew. They then go to a ''RobotChicken'' universe, followed by a universe where the U.S. botched the Cuban Missile Crisis and the world is in World War III, then a universe with everyone animated poorly. The universe traveling continues with stops at universes of fire hydrants, homosexuals, live-action, political cartoons, a guy who yells compliments from afar and misleading portraiture. They finally stop at a universe where the roles of dogs and humans are reversed. Brian wants to stay to Stewie's chagrin and a fight for the traveling remote causes them to drop it and break, leaving them with no way back home.

When Stewie enters a genetically engineered pig at the carnival, Brian asks him where it came from. Stewie reveals to Brian that with an interdimensional teleporter, he can travel to different universes and takes Brian to a universe without religion, where everything is 1,000 years advanced. After exploring that universe, Brian asks if Stewie can take him to other universes and he agrees. First, they stop at a ''Flintstones''-esque universe, followed by a universe where America never bombed Japan in World War II, making the world dominated by Japan. Later, they travel to a universe where everyone has two heads, one happy and one sad, followed by a universe where they are trapped in a second Ice Age, where Brian helps them escape.

After going to a universe where "Everyone has to poop right just now", they go into a universe where everything is run by {{Disney}}. They're happy with staying there until the inhabitants attack Mort the Jew. They then go to a ''RobotChicken'' universe, followed by a universe where the U.S. botched the Cuban Missile Crisis and the world is in World War III, then a universe with everyone animated poorly.

They finally stop at a universe where the roles of dogs and humans are reversed. Brian wants to stay to Stewie's chagrin and a fight for the traveling remote causes them to drop it and break, leaving them with no way back home.

In the dog universe, they decide to go the Griffin house, with dog versions of the family and a human version of Brian. The two hide after Stewie bites Dog!Peter and "human control" is called upon. Dog!Stewie gives them his traveling remote, but wanting to live in a man-dominated world, Human!Brian stows away with them. This time, they make it back home and Human!Brian wishes Stewie and Brian goodbye before getting run over.
