![]() ![]() Stewie's mastery of physics and mechanical engineering is quite extraordinary and at a level of science fiction. In " The Big Bang Theory" it is revealed that he is descended from Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci, on Lois's side of the family. According to " Don't Be a Dickens at Christmas", he understands German (but cannot speak it), as his great-great-grandmother is of German descent and the Pewterschmidts (except Lois) speak it. Per cartoon physics, his ability to move objects of greater weight than himself is not surprising to other characters, nor is his apparent ability to retrieve firearms from hammerspace or his ability to talk. MacFarlane has stated that Stewie was created to represent the general helplessness of an infant through the eyes of an adult. Stewie succumbs to other childish tendencies he believes Peter has truly disappeared in a game of Peekaboo, often has difficulties understanding the concept of shapes, talks to his teddy bear Rupert as if he were alive, is overcome with laughter when Lois blows on his stomach and has no idea how to use a toilet. Very highly literate and able to cite pop culture references that long predate his birth, Stewie is also entranced by Raffi and Teletubbies. As Stewie's first birthday was celebrated in the episode "Chitty Chitty Death Bang", it is safe to assume that it was Stewie's second first birthday in the episode "Chap Stewie". ![]() He reaches his first birthday in the season 1 episode " Chitty Chitty Death Bang", and the family celebrates Stewie's birthday in a cutaway gag in the season 12 episode " Chap Stewie". Stewie Griffin is portrayed as a two-year-old prodigy who has a sophisticated voice and can speak very fluently in an upper-class English accent with quite advanced vocabulary. Stewie is considered to be the show's breakout character and has received numerous award nominations from writers such as Jodiss Pierre. He has also come to have a very close friendship with the family's anthropomorphic dog, Brian, whom he originally used to antagonize in the earliest episodes. Throughout the series, particularly following the two episode arc " Stewie Kills Lois" and " Lois Kills Stewie", the violent aspects of Stewie's personality were toned down, and he has evolved into an eccentric, friendly, bisexual and flamboyant scamp (something possibly foreshadowed in the direct-to-video film Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story). He is the third child of Peter and Lois Griffin, the youngest brother of Meg, and the younger brother of Chris. He began the series as a megalomaniacal sociopath, initially obsessed with violence, matricide, and world domination. Stewie is a highly precocious toddler who talks and acts as an adult. After the pilot was given the green light, the Griffin family appeared in the episode " Death Has a Shadow". Stewie was created and designed by MacFarlane himself, who was asked to pitch a pilot to the Fox Broadcasting Company, based on The Life of Larry and Larry & Steve, two shorts made by MacFarlane featuring a middle-aged man named Larry and an intellectual dog, Steve. He is voiced by the series creator Seth MacFarlane and first appeared on television, along with the rest of the Griffin family, in a 15-minute short on December 20, 1998. Stewart Gilligan " Stewie" Griffin is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy. ![]()
