Brian and Stewie (1) is the seventeenth episode of the eighth season of Family Guy, and the one hundred forty-fourth episode overall.

The episode — part of a one-hour special to celebrate 150 episodes of the series — is a two-man stage play, wherein Brian and Stewie are accidentally trapped inside of a bank vault. During their time alone, they reveal their true feelings about each other and question their own existence and purpose in life.

The second half of the special featured previously unaired musical numbers, including those from the fourth season episode "Fat Guy Strangler", the sixth season episode "Play It Again, Brian", and the eighth season episode "Business Guy". Also included are Family Guy renditions of the popular music hits "You've Got A Lot to See", "Shipoopi" and "My Drunken Irish Dad".

Allusions and References

  • All in the Family — The plot draws from two episodes from the 1971-1979 CBS situation comedy: "Archie in the Cellar" and "Two's a Crowd". Both episodes featured Archie locked inside a room and unable to escape (since the lock is on the other side of the door), the former by himself and latter with his son-in-law, Mike; and both plots were essentially one- and two-man plays. In "Two's a Crowd", Archie and Mike reveal both deep-seated secrets and their true feelings for each other.
  • The Twilight Zone — Several plot elements are taken from the science fiction series episode "Time Enough at Last", including being trapped in a bank vault and Brian reading a copy of "David Copperfield" (the same book that episode's main protagonist, Henry Bemis, is reading while inside the bank vault).
