Brian Griffin (seasons 8-present)

Brian Griffin is one of the main characters of the show Family Guy. He is the Griffin's dog, and is the voice of reason of the show. He is voiced by the creator Seth MacFarlane.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He is a pretentious, arrogant and narcissistic asshole who isn't above manipulating and tricking his friends and family into getting what he wants.
 * 2) He is occasionally genuinely bad to his family.
 * 3) He calls himself an Atheist, despite the fact that he met Jesus Christ and God before.
 * 4) He has become nothing more than just the soapbox for Seth MacFarlane. Most of his lines nowadays are just him preaching Seth's beliefs.
 * 5) He's had so many unlikable moments. Like when he once con Quagmire, despite Quagmire helped Brian at the beginning of the episode.
 * 6) He has shown to be a hypocrite from time to time:
 * 7) An example is in Brian & Stewie, in which despite being liberal, he keeps a pistol because of protective reasons and pretends to be against using a gun itself over the "national tragedy at Combine".
 * 8) Another example of Brian being a hypocrite is when he deliberately runs over a squirrel, which, unbeknownst to him, traumatizes Stewie. He also hires a hitman to kill Quagmire's cat. Also during a date in Love, Blactually, he mauls a rabbit at a pet store. These actions make him a hypocrite because in several episodes he supported animals rights and was against violence towards animals.
 * 9) And the last example is his views on LGBT rights, which he violated in Family Gay when Lois is depressed that Peter is leaving her for another man. Brian then takes Stewie's idea for ending Lois' depression by kidnapping Peter and taking him to an ex-gay center to "turn back to his old self".

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Like Peter Griffin, he used to be a more likeable character in Family Guy's earlier seasons.
 * 2) He sometimes acts like the likable voice of reason.
 * 3) He is awesome when he's paired with Stewie.
 * 4) He is still a little funny.
 * 5) He cares a lot about his friends and family.
