So many times in shows, babies are pointless additions to the cast. I mean, seeing as how they can't speak or have a personality outside of "likes to suck on a pacifier and sleep," you can't really blame screenwriters and television writers to not put much effort into them. The Simpsons sort of broke this rule by giving Maggie a bit of a devious personality and having her be the one who hit Mr. Burns (jury is still out on whether or not it's an accident). But it was Family Guy which took this ideꦇa to the next level with Stewa✃rt Gilligan Griffin.

From the very first episode of the show, Stewie was clearly the stand-out member of the family. While all the various types of human characters of the Griffin househo♑ld had been before and Brian had the novelty of being a dog but aside from that was just the voice of reason. Stewie, on the other hand, was a baby with a purpose: take over the world. For the first few seasons of the show, we saw Stewie create machines and plan schemes to finish his mission but never quite did it.

Perhaps sensing that this would get old after a while, Seth MacFarlane and his gang developed Steಞwie even further in later seasons by giving him a flamboyant and fun side. Also, how can I forget about his friendship with Brian, which forms the bedrock of the series' best episodes? But 💦Brian is only a supporting character in this list. Here are 20 crazy secrets about Stewie Griffin.

20 🧜 His Diabolical First Words

In the sixteen seasons of Family Guy, we've seen Stewie Griffin do some terrible things. Despite Family Guy being a comedy show, Stewie has to be one of the most overpowered and evil people in fiction. We've should have known as an audience, though, that this was going to be the case, because the first words we see Stewie mutter is th🌄e stuff of comic book villainy.

What would characters like The Joker, Dr. Doom, and Lex Luthor think of this infant?

In the first episode of the series, the whole family is at the kitchen table enjoying some grub but the freaking baby is fiddling with a gadget. Once he's done screwing the last screw, he says "Excellent, the mind control device is nearing completion." Lois mistakes this for a mere to🐟y and takes it away from him which prompts him to respond with "darn you, vile woman! You've impeded my work since the day I escaped your wretched womb!" In just two lines, audiences knew right away what kind of character Stewie was and what we could expect from him for years. You know, until they softened up his character and abandoned his goal of world domination.

19 Stewi🍎e's Soaring Dream With Brian

When you see somebody you love about to meet their end in the hospital, you want to tell them everything you always wanted to tell them. At least, I assume so, as I♛ haven't had the misfortune of that happening to me yet. So it's quite telling what Stewie tells Brian after Brian is breathing his last breaths on the table of a veterinarian's surgery room.

Kind of ironic how Brian and Stewie destroyed the Surfin Bird record in retrospect, eh?

While the rest of the Griffin family are all in shock and crying over th𓆉eir dog losing the battle before their eyes, Stewie is the only one who tries to speak directly to him. Even with a heavy heart, as it was Stewie's idea to play hockey in the street that led to Brian being hit, Stewie tells him that he can't pe𒆙rish because they were going to be windsurfers together. He qualifies this by saying that he was going to be the better one of the two, but they would both be great. And those are his last words to his best friend... until two episodes later when he time travels to save him.

If the series doesn't end with the two🧸 fulfilling Stewie's dream of being a windsurfing duo, I꧂ don't know what to say.

18 Disrespect For His𝄹 Parents

When growing up, you usually call your parents by their relation to you and not by their actual names. "Dad," "Dada," a♍nd "Daddy" are the usual suspects for your father, while your mother goes by "Mom," "Mommy," and "Mama." Hopefully, though, none of you reading this are named Stewie Griffin, because if you are, you probably called your parents by different names.

It's a shame Stewie can't do us a favor and end the fat man instead of Lois.

For all his hatred for the woman who birthed him into the world, he respects her as a worthy adversary. So for that, he doesn't give her any degrading nicknames and usually just calls her Lois. His father, on the other hand, is somebody that Stewie doesn't respect one iota. I mean, why would he? Peter has shown himself multiple ti🌞mes to be a psychopathic and idiotic jerk. So why should he respect him? No, instead Stewie calls his father the "Fat Man." You could always argue that Stewie should be more respectful of his parents and call them Mom and Dad, and in the case of Lois, I might agree. But Peter? Yeah, I'm fine with whatever Stewie calls him.

17 ಞ💎 Visions Of Rupert

There are very few things that Stewie truly cares for in the world of Family Guy. We know this his best friend is the pet dog Brian but aside from him, there are not many actual people who Stewie gives a darn about. Howeve🌼r, he does care greatly for his teddy bear, whom he calls Rupert. In fact, he might care for Rupert a bit too much...

It would be interesting to see who Stewie would pick between Rupert and Brian.

There are times in the series when Stewie has a dream of Rupert being a real human man, 💟save for a teddy bear head. In these visions, they can be seen frolicking in the water on a beach, going to a carnival, and generally having a good time. Too much of a good time, in one case. In a DVD exclusive scene from the Season 9 episode "Excellence In Broadcasting," Stewie discovers a new concept. Thus, he imagines this buff Rupert and an equally buff Brian hanging out while he is attached to a bed. Normally I would let kids keep their stuffed animals, but in Stewie's case, maybe we should keep them away from him till he's older.

16 𝐆 He Wasn'tꦫ Always A Football

Most of the cast members on Family Guy have a unique visual quality that separates them from other cartoon characters. When it comes to Seth MacFarlane's♈ greatest creation, you ﷽gotta think about Quagmire's giant chin, Peter's chin etc... Obviously the most striking of these has got to be Stewie's giant football-shaped head. If we go by the continuity of the show, though, this wasn't always the case.

When Stewie was born, he had a normal shaped head. However, there was an accident involving his parents' bed that caused him to develop his signature pigskin head. In the season 3 episode "Stuck Together, Torn Apaꩲrt," we get a flashback where Stewie is seen jumping up and down on the bed like the monkeys jumping on the bed nursery rhyme. Brian is supposed to be watching him, so when he demands Stewie to stop, Stewie refuses. It costs him his head shape as he hits his head on the ceiling. Amazingly, though, he doesn't suffer any brain damage but instead, his skull is flattened into its current mold. If that was what really happened with head trauma in the real world, life would be a lot funnier and carefree. But unfortunately, concussions are a thing.

15 He 🦋﷽Saved Brian's Life

For many people, Family Guy was truly finished for them when it was announced in 2013 that Brian Griffin was going to bite the dust for good. Many people saw it as just drumming up interest for the episode and expected Seth MacFarlane and his crew to 🌃not follow through with it. But sure enough, Brian is hit and goes to the afterlife while on an operating table. A new dog named Vinny is introduced as the Griffin's new pet, a🧜nd fans were angry. Nobody was more angry, though, than Brian's best friend, Stewie.

Find yourself a friend who will bend space and time to save you.

After the episode "Life of Brian," Stewie decides that there must be a way to get his friend back. Luckily for the infant, he has a sweet time machine! After being asked by Santa what he wants for Christmas, Stewie breaks down and cries for his friend back. He uses it to teleport himself back in time just before the moment that car hit Brian. In any other show, I would be asking questions about time travel paradoxes, but this is Family Guy here; not exactly expecting some deep analysis. Too bad one of the first episodes done with Brian's return was the much-maligned "Brian Is A Bad Father." Maybe Stewie should have stuck around with 🃏the Italian dog.

14 He Once ♉Loved His Mom

Most people are aware that Stewie's biggest enemy in his life is his own mother, Lois Griffin. There was even a pair of episodes that explored a computer simulation where Stewie finally does the deed of ending his mother... until she's rescued by a me♋rman and then destroys her son in return. However, there was one point in time where Stewie truly did feel genuine love for his dear mom.

In the season 5 season premiere, appropriately titled "Stewie Loves Lois," Stewie's teddy bear Rupert is ripped up by an angry dog on the playground. Stewie is immensely sad🐼 about it, but Lois surprises him by stitching back his tꦕeddy. Stewie is overjoyed by this and for the first time in his life is happy with his mother. This, however, backfires against Lois as Stewie now clings to her all the time and tires her out. Once she starts getting visions of putting Stewie in the washing machine, she feels that it's for the best if Stewie goes back to the way he was before. She starts to neglect him to the point where her son's anger returns and things are turned back to the status quo.

13 H💝e Goes ܫTo Extreme Lengths For Revenge

Not everyไ joke lands. We've all been watching a comedy movie in a theatre and even though you can tell that the filmmakers were hoping for a big laugh, it falls flat on its face. Most of us, however, just go home and angrily write about it on our social media. Stewie Griffin decides to go straight to the source and let them know it.

And people say that kids nowadays have no motivation.

In one of Family Guy's rampant cut-away gags, Stewie is watching the 2005 movie remake of the classic television show Bewitched starring Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman. After Will Ferr🌼ell fails to make Stewie laugh, Stewie knows what he must do. He gets out of the movie theatre, takes a taxi to the airport, flies out to California, takes a limo to a hardware store, buys a ladder, goes to Will Ferrell's house and rings the doorbell. As soon as Ferrell opens the door, the baby socks him right in the jaw laying him with one punch and tells him that the joke wasn't funny. Everybody has an entertainer that th🧸ey would like to punch in the face, but none of us actually get to live our dreams. God bless Stewie Griffin.

12 🔯 His Fa⛄vourite Meal Is Childish

Everybody has a favorite me🎀al or snack when they're children. It could have been pop tarts, pizza, or Dunkaroos, but Stewie, on the other hand, is a bit more sophisticated than that. He wouldn't dare eat the food of those tired, unwashed masses. He has a particular dish that he likes served just the right way and we find out exactly what it is in Season 5's "Stewie Loves Lois."

After Lois repairs Stewie's teddy bear, Rupert, she decides to make Stewie his favo😼rite meal to cheer him up even more. The ensemble is as follows; cut green beans, Atkins' Friendly Potato Sticks arranged according to size from largest to smallest and a Scooby Doo Yogurt... Oh, can't forget that the yogurt container has Shaggy's eyes scratched out. This display of love from his mother causes Stewie to drop his previous seasons of hatred and tell her that "Lois, I was wrong about you. You're my everything." In all honesty, this is one of the most heartfelt and touching moments in the show. Unfortunately for the family, by the end of the episode, Stewie is back to hating her, but it was nice while it lasted.

11 🔥 He Might Be A Ripoff

Most of the slides on this list have to do with the actual episodes of Family Guy, but for this one we have to go back to our real world. To most people, Stewie is one of the most original characters to come to television screens in years and absolutely the most unique character on Family Guy. But, he might just be a fake.

From the years of 1995 to the year 2000, Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid On Earth was a weekly comic strip about a grown up sad man who meets his father for the first time at 36 years old. However, we also get flashback🐎s to his life as a kid where he creates tons of technology and experiments with science. Now, those are sort of vague similarities, but if we look at the visual designs of the two, that's where we get into eyebrow raising coincidences.  They both have football shaped heads and only a few strands of hair that are slicked back. In  back in 2003, Seth MacFarlane even remarked that "I saw a copy of the strip, and it's amazing. It was so similar. He had like the same shape head, he had like the same hairs on top. I had never seen it before, but it was actually pretty shocking." Corrigan's creator Chris Ware was never amused by it.
