    Whats the story with Stewie talking, i mean can Lois and other people hear him or what ? It seems that sometimes they can and sometimes they can't, unless they are just ignoring all of the "Victory is mine" and "Infernal woman trying to put me back in the womb" Quips.

    Reminds me of the episode where they went to a classroom in the future at the end, and one of the students asked...

    "So can they, like, understand the dog?"

    I reckon Lois and the family can't understand him but gets the general gist or mood of what he is saying, but Brian can understand him.

    I wouldn't lose sleep over it!

    You seem to be getting a lot more worked up about it then me.

    I was just curious if anybody had an opinion or a theory about this, its what usually happens when you post something.

    Because its a cartoon? Same reason they never age I suppose.

    As for whether the family can understand Stewie, I dunno, it does sometimes seem that they can but other times they can't...I try not to think about it too much tbh.

    I was being sarcastic.

    I have a theory on this matter.

    Brian is a talking dog.

    Stewie is a talking baby.

    This is a cartoon.


    Case closed!

    I think the FG creators said Lois usually can't understand him, but if they think it'll make something funnier then she can. Doesn't matter really.

    Always wondered, think she does sometimes and doesnt others

    If you guys haven't realized it by now, Seth Macfarlane is out of his mind. In his crazy mind he comes up with this stuff.............. I think he can be heard by the other people. He talks to the older version of himself in the movie.

    I always figured that everyone can hear and understand Stewie but, because he's a baby, nobody takes any notice of him.

    they already took the piss outta that one in the ep where marge goes to prison and so there is nobody to wasj the clothes

    they say something like i feel i've been in the same clothes for ages

    and before anyone asks why they never get older homer gives them growth hormones in their cerial

    how come cayote never dies or has to go to hospital despite regularly getting blown up/falling off a cliff or squashed by a huge boulder?

    As could be said of pretty much any 'in-world' style question about any tv show - it really doesn't matter (suspension of disbelief etc.) but knowing that doesn't make the questions worthy of ridicule like:

    To give my (other) 2 cents (this time actually answering the question) I think theres no consitent rule for it throughout the series, when its funnier to make it out that he can be understood he is understood otherwise he is not.

    But ... Seriously? It's a cartoon!
