In 'Family Guy', do you think the rest of the family understand Stewie?

Question

what do you think? :)

Answer 1

Brian does, the rest only understand him as a baby. Sometimes they respond as if they knew exactly what he says but thats only because its a cartoon and anything can happen but they dont really hear him majority of the show.

Answer 2

everyboy but lois seems to understand stewie so lois might be the only one plus the greezed up def guy

Answer 3

Answer 4

If they can understand a dog I'm pretty sure they can understand Stewie.

Answer 5

brian defo and the rest a wee bit

Answer 6

Brian is, as of now, the only main character whose ability to understand Stewie is unambiguous, the two always converse normally. In "Running Mates", Brian briefly appears to hear Stewie's thoughts; this phenomenon has not been explored in subsequent episodes. In two episodes, another baby by the name of Olivia communicates similarly to Stewie, with the exception that she is taken seriously by adults. Also, Jillian (Brian's girlfriend of several episodes) appears to understand Stewie just as well. Adults understand, but disregard Stewie. At the end of the episode "E. Peterbus Unum", the question of whether adults could understand Stewie is raised. In the DVD audio commentary, MacFarlane explains adults can understand him, but don't take him seriously, "sort of like... if a four-year-old who [could] talk told you to '***** off', you'd laugh, because it's cute." In this manner, characters acknowledge Stewie, but pay no mind to his often-insulting addresses, such as calling Peter "the fat man" and referring to Lois by her given name. His insults are occasionally heard, such as when Stewie tells Lois "Why don't you burn in h**l?!" Lois replies, "Well, no dessert for you, young man." Stewie generally is insulting to both Meg and Chris, but does acknowledge them. He also is one of the few characters who calls Meg 'Megan'

Answer 7

I think i heard in a commentary that they do understand him, but since he's a baby, they don't take him seriously.

Answer 8

Yah. Brian understands.

Answer 9

i think it changes from episode to episode depending on the story line

  

Answer 10

I think Brian is the only one who hears and understands Stewie but the rest of them hear the words but just don't respond to him or don't listen properly.

Answer 11

Brian does.

Mind you, he's the dog - that probably speaks volumes!

Answer 12

I think Lois is kinda slow on that but Brian understands. And the rest ..well no not really

Answer 13

Answer 14

Brian the dog does

haha, i asked the same Q couple weeks ago, ive just got into Family guy

Answer 15

Only Brian (the dog) understands Stewie.  Everyone understands Brian though.  

Answer 16

besides brian, i think chris can understand him because in one episode stewie asks chris,"hey you who is that horrid smelling girl?"and then chris said,"thats meg dude.you know her."but thats the only time i ever saw chris respond to stewie.oh and he said mean things to meg and she started to cry so i guess she understood him too

Answer 17

I don't think so, but Brian does for sure. But hes a dog, who can speak....
