When it comes to Family Guy, no two characters possess a fun and humorous chemistry quite like Stewie and Brian. The flamboyant and partly-diabolical talking baby clashes and compliments the everyman – or “every-dog” Brian, making for some of the funniest, most entertaining plots and banter.

Episodes that revolve around the wacky and amusing adventures of these two memorable characters often prove to be some of the greatest.

With that said, let’s take a look at 10 of Family Guy’s best and funniest episodes which star this dynamic duo.

10 Brian And Stewie

Those who aren’t too keen on the abundance of random gags Family Guy is known for should probably give this unique episode a look, as the vast majority takes place in a single location.

Fittingly just called “Brian & Stewie,” this season 8 laugher is about as minimalistic as it gets – yet it still manages to be endearing. While it’s probably not the most in-your-face humorous episode, the charming dynamic between these two characters is at an all-time high here.

Essentially, Brian and Stewie are stuck together inside a bank vault, setting the stage for tons of amusing back-and-forth banter as they try to get out. Aside from an odd inclusion of some gross-out humor involving feces, this is a surprisingly enjoyable little episode.

9 Big Trouble In Litte Quahog

While they can get a bit ridiculous at times, some of the more fun episodes of Family Guy involve the most implausible, sci-fi-tinged themes and plots. Such is the case with this fairly recent season 17 episode, in which Stewie shrinks Brian as a “payback” for the dog calling him short. A series of mishaps, including a rat carrying Brian off, lead to the baby genius shrinking them both to microscopic size. Naturally, some crazy hijinks ensue from there. This includes a run-in with talking dust mites and an arduous climb up the side of the Griffins’ house.

This is an episode that feels more Rick and Morty-esque rather than Family Guy with its imaginative settings and premise, but it’s a fun one to watch.

8 Stuck Together, Torn Apart

This is what you might call an “old classic,” considering it originally aired close to two decades ago. It’s also significant in that it’s one of the first to feature Brian and Stewie as the main stars of the show. As the title itself hints, these two characters are quite literally stuck together, after accidentally gluing themselves together with a pretty potent adhesive.

This goofy scenario offers the potential for quite a few funny gags (which the episode mostly nails) as they try to make due while waiting for their solvent to arrive. They even use this unique circumstance to their advantage at the end, by saving a little girl from a well – leading to yet another couple of silly gags to close out the episode.

7 Saving Private Brian

Although the title of this episode might lead you to believe this is a spoof of the WWII film starring Tom Hanks and Matta Damon, it’s actually more of a nod to the army-themed comedy Stripes. We even hear a melody similar to the reoccurring bit of music played during that film while Brian takes on a rather hilarious obstacle course as part of his training.

This episode makes for a clever homage that fans of the Bill Murray and Harold Ramis laugher should get a kick out of. Yet even younger viewers who missed out of this charming ’81 comedy should still appreciate the plethora of funny gags and situations in “Saving Private Brian.”

6 Roads To Vegas

If you thought an episode in which Stewie and Brian take a trip to Vegas and have a run-in with loan sharks wasn’t strange enough – how about a journey featuring two split versions of our protagonists?

Stewie crafts a teleportation machine in an attempt to instantly get to Vegas in order to avoid the hassle of air travel. This sort of manages to work, but it ends up duplicating the pair. While one of these duos makes it to Vegas and basks in a snowballing stream of great luck and fortunes, the other gets left behind and must travel by plane – and things spiral down from there. The vastly different outcomes lead to a myriad of wacky shenanigans, which only escalates when their worlds collide.

“Roads to Vegas” proves a fun adventure with plenty of Vegas-themed spoofs and other insanities.

5 Brian Goes Back To College

This lighthearted romp takes on the feeling of a goofy live-action sitcom more than a colorful cartoon, but that’s part of what makes it work so well.

The premise is that Brian decides to go back to college and finish what he had started years ago, but Stewie decides to room with the dog, and hilarity ensues from there. The abundance of cheeky university humor, in addition to Stewie going full-on college “bro” makes for a truly funny watch. Even the “B” plot, which involves Peter and his pals becoming an A-Team knockoff, is chuckle-worthy and memorable.

4 Road To Rhode Island

There are a number of episodes that hone in on the adventures of Stewie & Brian, which almost feel like a show within a show, often featuring the title “Road to X.” This episode, which dates all the way back to the mid-2000s, is significant as it’s the first to really run with this angle. And while these two have ventured seemingly everywhere from Europe to the Multiverse since then, this humble trip to Rhode Island is still one of the more endearing.

This episode doesn’t just have the usual funny gags and Brian-Stewie riffing; it also gives us more insight into the dog as he seeks to find his long-lost mother. It closes out with a charming little musical number, based on the title song from Road to Morocco.

3 Brian Sings And Swings

Speaking of jaunty musical tunes, there’s plenty more where that came from, in this feel-good episode featuring Frank Sinatra Jr. as himself. As this contains just the right amount of subtle humor and wacky scenarios, along with enjoyable musical numbers and Brian-Stewie banter, “Brian Sings and Swings” is really Family Guy at its best.

Show creator Seth MacFarlane has made it no secret that he’s a fan of musicals and jazzy scat-singing ensembles, and it certainly comes through here.

2 Brian Writes A Best Seller

Oh, where to begin with this hilarious episode…

There is much to love about this romp, which follows an increasingly pretentious Brian as the fame of becoming a best-selling author gets to his head. The funniest part about this, though, is that Brian’s book began as naught but a challenge posed to Stewie, in which he’d seek to write the most basic, derivative self-help book imaginable. After his more nuanced book, “Faster than the Speed of Love” has failed to garner any attention, he’s out to prove people only care about dumb, surface-level content.

Lo and behold, it works, and Brian’s rise to fame leads to Stewie being his publicist, culminating with a hilarious live-action appearance on Real-Time With Bill Maher.

1 Road To The Multiverse

In terms of Family Guy episodes involving wacky Stewie and Brian adventures, it doesn’t get much more epic and twisted than this journey across altered realities. Apparently this baby is such a mad genius that he’s able to create a remote device that can transport people through other universes, and, as you’d imagine, the shenanigan levels are off the charts.

Let’s review – we’ve got a live-action universe, Robot Chicken and Flintstones worlds, an ice age, and an impressively authentically animated “Disney world.” It’s all absurdly over-the-top – but ultimately Family Guy is about fun and humor, and this episode has both in spades.
