Brian’s dream of becoming a bestselling writer came true on last night’s episode of Family Guy. At the beginning of the episode Brian received the unsold copies of his book, “Faster than the speed of love,” from his publisher. He told Stewie he was done with writing and was going to give up on his dream of being on the best selling list.
Brian’s commitment to quitting writing did not last very long. Brian got angry when he saw that “Dream your Way to Spiritual Joy” by Pauly Shore was on the best-seller list and decided to write a self-help book with little to no substance to prove a point that crappy books will sell.
The self-help book Brian wrote, “Wish it, Want it, Do it,” became an overnight phenomenon and Brian became a literary celebrity. Stewie became his publicist and in the end, Brian ended up on Real Time with Bill Maher with Bill, Adrianna Huffington of Huffington Post and Dana Gould. Brian was exposed for being a phony on Real Time with Bill Maher and ran off in shame.
We loved this week’s episode of Family Guy. The segments with Brian and his publicist, Stewie, were hilarious and the live action sketch with Brian, Bill Maher, Adrianna Huffington and Dana Gould had us laughing so hard it hurt. It was by far one of our favorite episodes of Family Guy all season.
