History Hypocrite / FamilyGuy

** In "Short Cuts", while ranting over being kicked out of Mort's pharmacy just for being a dog, he claims it's discrimination, comparing it to what happened with "those blacks" at the Starbucks. Stewie is noticeably unnerved by Brian's choice of words.

** In "Boy (Dog) Meets Girl (Dog)", Brian was desperate to win the dog show just so he could breed with Ellie, yet in "Brian: Portrait of a Dog", he refused to do dog tricks in another dog show, show because he felt that certain dog tricks were demeaning, even though the prize money could have bought the family a new air conditioner, which they needed. This just proves that Brian thinks that it's wrong for people to engage in demeaning acts, but it's okay for people to engage in said acts for their own personal benefit.

** In "Play it Again, Brian," he talks about how Peter doesn't deserve Lois (due to Peter paying Lois back with selfishness and neglect despite Lois being so giving towards him). While what Brian said was true, you have to remember that Brian had some good ex girlfriends that he didn't deserve either due to faults of his own (with Rita being a good example because Brian repaid Rita back with cheating on her when Rita was nothing but good to him).

This just proves that Brian thinks that it's wrong for people to engage in demeaning acts if it suits others, but okay for people to engage in degrading acts if you are the only one benefitting from it.

** In "Brian & Stewie", it is a well-established fact that Brian is a left-wing gun-grabbing liberal stereotype, Stewie questions why Brian keeps a gun in his safety deposit-box and Brian admits to having it in case he ever contemplates suicide. This is extremely hypocritical of Brian because he believes in strict gun-control laws, which includes restrictions that do not allow the mentally ill or people who are a major risk for self-harm or suicide to possess firearms, which would include Brian himself. This is essentially a continuation of Brian's most common hypocritical trait of not following laws, morals, rules, or policies that he would enforce on others.

** In "Quagmire's Mom", he calls out Quagmire for blaming all his problems on his mother. This is coming from someone who refuses to accept his own failings in both his romantic and literary pursuits, constantly [[NeverMyFault blaming others]] for them.

** In "Peterminator", he accuses Stewie of being in love with himself. Brian himself is a major Narcissist, to the point of sleeping with the robot double of himself in "Bri, Robot".

** He frequently voicing his strong liberal opinions yet never acting on any of them.

* Bonnie has proven herself to be one too as she's willing to cheat on Joe yet becomes angry when he cheats on her only once.

** He frequently voices his strong liberal opinions, yet he never acts on any of them.
** In "Dial Meg For Murder", he voices his opinion that [[HadToComeToPrisonToBeACrook the prison system has turned the innocent Meg into a hardened criminal]], but it's obvious that nobody, including him, went to visit her during the three months she was in prison.
** In "Quagmire's Mom", he calls out Quagmire for blaming all his problems on his mother. This is coming from someone who refuses to accept his own failings in both his romantic and literary pursuits, constantly [[NeverMyFault blaming others]] for them.
** In "The Finer Strings", he initally takes Lois [[GotVolunteered volunteering him]] as Carter's temporary guide dog badly, claiming to hate the "one-percenter" attitude Carter has. But after getting a taste of the good life, he quickly embraces it and becomes unwilling to let it go when Carter no longer needs him.
** In "Be Careful What You Fish For", he calls the cops on Stewie's [[DaycareNightmare neglectful daycare teacher]], despite the fact he willingly ignored Stewie's suffering while he tried to score a date with her.

** He fights for animal rights, but is willing to kill cats and squirrels.
** He tends to be critical of or insult Meg yet usually does nothing to help her and is the only member of the Griffin family he goes out of his way to ignore, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech which Meg herself calls him out on]] in "Family Cat".

** He claims to want "true love" and a woman he can spend the rest of his life with. Despite this, several episodes (such as "Movin' Out: Brian's Song" and "Brian's got a Brand New Bag") show that Brian has some serious commitment issues. Stewie actually calls him out on this in "Married... With Cancer", pointing out that he's really just a "selfish horndog".

** In "Pal Stewie", he was [[GreenEyedMonster jealous]] over Stewie getting a friend his own age, to the point where he hid a birthday party invitation from him. But after Stewie reaffirmed his friendship with him, Brian admitted he didn't have any big friendship plans in mind, rather than watching TV like usual (leading Stewie to call him out for his actions).
** In "Boy (Dog) Meets Girl (Dog)", Brian was desperate to win the dog show just so he could breed with Ellie, yet in "Brian: Portrait of a Dog", he refused to do dog tricks in another dog show, even though the prize money could have bought the family a new air conditioner, which they needed.
** In "Family Guy Lite", he had no problem using what he read in what he thought was a list of qualities Lois wanted in her ideal man to try and seduce her into cheating on Peter. But when it looked like she was having an affair with someone else, he begged her not to do it, claiming she would be betraying Peter.

* Peter:

** He believes that Lois having an affair with anyone other than him is wrong.

* Bonnie has proven herself to be one too as she's willing to cheat on Joe yet becomes angry when he cheats on her only once.

* Brian has a nasty tendency to be a huge hypocrite.

* Quagmire:

*** He says "How's that son of yours you never see?" in reference to Brian's failure as Dylan's father. Quagmire himself encountered several children that resembled him in "Tales of a Third Grade Nothing" and promptly ran away. He also gave his daughter Anna Lee for adoption, while Dylan himself chose to leave Brian in order to take care of his mother. Brian would also go on to see Dylan again in "Brian's a Bad Father", though admittedly he has selfish intentions to do so and honestly was keeping Dylan at an arms length before in the episode, while Quagmire has never returned to any of his offspring.

Given the complete immorality of the entire cast, it's pretty much granted that any character that tries to pose themselves as TheStraightMan will end up looking like [[{{Hypocrite}} this]].

* Meg, in the episode ''Scammed Yankees'', shows herself to be considerably hypocrite and inappropriately moralistic (if not even ageist) in this episode, because she tells Brian just at first to stop hitting on Patty because "it's gross" and "she's 18" (so adult and perfectly legal according to Rhode Island's law, and even the same exact age as Meg), but didn't use the same argument when Lois hit on and kissed one previous Meg's boyfriend or when Quagmire hit on Meg's friends numerous times, or even when Taylor Swift dated her brother Chris (a barely pubescent boy), not to mention that Meg dated Mayor West more than once, Quagmire, the Super Friends announcer, Seamus, Bruce (even almost getting married with this latter), and even sexually harassed Brian, Joe and Santa Claus. And the list goes on. However, it could have been just an excuse not to risk to be separated from Patty and lose her as a friend as she states she fears at the end of the episode.
