* {{Jerkass}}: A more sympathetic example, but both Stewie and Brian are subjects to this. Yes, Brian did have his reasons, but there is no excuse to rip apart his best friend’s teddy bear. One can even argue that Brian knew that “killing” Rupert would break Stewie’s heart. But while this did happen, Stewie takes Rupert’s “murder” a bit too far when he says that Brian is not his best friend, hurting the dog’s feelings in the process. Stewie also physically attacks Brian after he finds out he ripped apart Rupert on purpose.
