8.17 Brian and Stewie

Comparison:

  • Short TV Version
  • Long TV Version
Release: Dec 03, 2012 - Author: Muck47 - Translator: Mr Miau - external link: IMDB - more from this series
Comparison between the Short TV Version, as seen on the German Pro7 broadcast from November 24, 2011, and the Long TV Version, taken from the US premiere on May 2, 2010.


- 24 alterations, 12 of those including alternative footage
- Difference in running time: 401,1 sec (= 6:41 min)

+ 2 alterations outside of the episode, summing up to 821,1 sec (= 13:41 min)



This 150th jubilee episode was granted a double timeslot for its original broadcast. The episode itself was only 28 minutes long but framed by a Brian and Stewie story that added 14 minutes. This premiere will from now on be called Long Version (LV). On DVD the episode was still about 28 minutes long and there were only some tiny cuts removed, however, the frame story was missing.

Later broadcasts were trimmed down to fit into the regular 21 minute time slot. Several parts were cleanly removed, others were replaced by alternative scenes for smoother transitions. The removal of the scene in which Brian licks Stewie clean and all connected parts alone makes this Short Version (SV) not recommendable. The frame story will not be described in detail again, readers interested in this can read up on it in the comparison between Long Version and DVD Version here.

After Brian has said that Stewie was able to build time machines, his answer is missing: Reaktion: "Yeah, that's science. I'm not Houdini."
Brian complains a bit more and the following animation in which Stewie feels the content of his diapers starts earlier: "I can't believe this. We're locked in here until tomorrow and the only thing I've eaten today was a grape Chris dropped at breakfast. It took me half an hour just to get the damn thing off the floor."

Stewie: "You guess or you will?

The animation was changed in the middle, as can be seen by Stewie's arm movements. Stewies additional wish was completely removed in the process.
The part in bold is missing: "(Lick the diaper clean,) possibly lick my fanny, (and then put the diaper back on me.) Probably lick my fanny."

Brian can grab the phone on his first try in the Short Version. As a result, one second is different (no pictures).

The Long Version has Stewie talking longer.
Stewie, to Brian: "Stop it."
Then he continues to talk to the guy on the phone: "Um, and I don't think I'm gonna make it to the store before closing time today. Is it possible to get an extension on that refund? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. No exceptions, I see. So you're telling me if I was James Franco calling, I would still not be able to get an extension for one day? Yes, Matthew, I will hold for your manager."

Long Version 22,3 sec longer

Brian: "Do you know how to take it off?"
Stewie: "No, I've never done it myself. Mum does it."

In the Short Version Brian already starts to put Stewie's diaper back on in 2-3 seconds of exlusive footage.


However, in the Long Version Stewie goes even further and makes Brian lick his bum clean as well.

Stewie: "Mmm, there's just one part left."
Brian: "What are you talking about? There's nothing left. Look, the diaper's completely clean."
Stewie: "Yeah, yeah, but my ass isn't. You have to clean my ass."
Brian: "Oh, God, Stewie, there's got to be a line!"
Stewie: "Brian, this is the most important part. You've seen Lois with those sanitary wipes. She gets all up in my biznatch with those. No, no way."
Brian: "I could get really sick."
Stewie: "Look, there's hardly anything on it. This will take one second, and then we can put this whole unpleasantness behind us."
Brian: "If you ever..."
Stewie: "I'm not gonna breathe a word to anybody ever. Now go on. Get started."
Brian: "All right, here goes."
He approaches and Stewie comments: "Oh, and just do me a favor and tell me when you're about to begin because I don't wanna be surpri... Moon river! Oh, by God, there... there it goes. Brian, you rock. Thank you so much for doing this."

The Long Version features some more dialog before Stewie sits down next to Brian at the wall.

Stewie: "Look, I hope this hasn't created anweirdness between us. I mean, it's not that strange what happened."
Brian: "What'd you eat?"
Stewie: "Italian Wedding Soup."
Brian: "Oh, actually, it wasn't bad."
Stewie: "I know, right?! Jenny Craig, can you believe? Only 220 calories. Probably less for you. You know, I think I missed my nap today. I'm sleepy."


In the Short Version Stewie directly talks about being sleepy and dies this in an alternative close-up.


Long Version 17,7 sec longer




08:58

Stewie takes a first sip of the bottel and talks some more with Brian.

Stewie: "But I don't want to get too buzzed. People take advantage of kids when they're buzzed. It's so easy, and I wouldn't even remember. So don't you try anything."
Brian: "Try what? I already practically French-kissed your butt."
Stewie: "Yeah, there was no practically about that."

13,4 sec




09:53

They chat longer before Stewie wants to get his ear pierced.

Stewie: "First you have to say that you'll do it before I tell you, no mat... no matter what it is."
Brian: "All right."
Stewie: "Really?!"
Brian: "Yeah. Sure, w-what is it?"

6,8 sec




10:17-10:18

The drunk dialog continues.

Brian: "Aren't we supposed to, like, heat it or something?
Stewie: "I don't care. I really... I don't give a... I'm all worked up right now, so we have to do it. Just do it, okay? Before... Wha-what are we drinking anyway?"
Brian: "Glenfiddich."
Stewie (high pitched voice): "Love her!"
Brian, während er etwas von dem Whiskey über die Nadel kippt: "Oh, you know what? I'll just sterilize it in the scotch."
Stewie: "You just sterilize it in the scotch. Why didn't...? It's, it's... Bitch, sterilize that bitch up, you know? You know, I don't, I don't know why I told Matthew that I liked, that I liked The Bounty Hunter 'cause I hated it. I just, I wanted him to like me in that moment. And that's why I said it. I don't... Why do I... why do I do that? Why do I...? Why am I such a people pleaser, you know? When, when is it Stewie's turn, you know?"

The bit about McCain is in the Short Version as well again, however, due to continuity reasons the first second features different animation.

Long Version 34,9 sec longer




10:57-10:58

The middle part of the piercing is missing before Brian discovers that the needle was too thick:
Brian: "There's so much blood."
Stewie: "Ew...!"
Brian: "It's stuck in there."

The frames afterwards differ a bit again.

Long Version 2,5 sec longer




12:11

More dialog about the dog whisperer and dog life.

Stewie: "I so don't live in the moment. I'm always, 'Oh, remember that petting zoo?' Or 'I can't wait to go to Florida.' I'm never, I'm never, like, really present. You know, you-you gotta help me work on that."
Brian: "Oh, definitely. Definitely, man. Live with purpose, you know? Celebrate every day. He talks about all those things that dogs do. Like, we do that. Dogs do that. It's instinctual. In us, you know? It's like I can't not do it. That's kind of what his whole thing is."
Stewie: "Such beautiful lessons."

26,4 sec




12:58

After Brian criticised Stewie's jacket:
Stewie: "Okay, well, now you're just bein' a dick."
Brian: "Well, you might as well get used to it. You're gonna be hearing a lot worse once you go to school."

4,5 sec




13:36

More dialog before Brian calls Stewie a monster.
Brian: "What?"
Stewie: "Come on, Brian, I spend half the day in a dirty diaper. I was bored. Just passing the time. I thought, 'How low can I get this douchebag to go?' Oh, my God!"
Stewie: "And when you did it, I actually felt sorry for you. There. Your turn."

The lead-up to the gun shot is different. The short version does not include the security camera in the room (and the allusion to the butt licking).

Short Version:
Stewie smacks the pistol out of Brian's hand.


Long Version:
Stewie: "Besides, if you shot me, it'd all be caught on that security camera."
Brian: "Security cam... Oh, my God, maybe somebody can see us!"
He jumps around: "Hey, hey, somebody help! We're in here!"
Stewie: "No one's out there, Brian. They would have come in. Save your energy."
Brian: "Oh, my God."
Stewie: "What?"
Brian: "It's all on tape."
Stewie: "What's all on tape? Oh... Oh, my God, oh, that is gonna be on YouTube."
Brian: "Oh, God."
Stewie: "Everybody that works in an office is gonna say to their coworkers, 'Hey, type in dog, baby, heinie lick, Check this out.' And then the boss is gonna say, 'Hey, what are you doing there? Oh, yeah, that's funny. I saw that in my room. Okay, now type in Japanese, fish, ass.' "
Brian: "I am gonna be so humiliated."
Stewie: "Well, I could save you the embarrassment and shoot you in the head except there aren't any bullets in this gun."

There is more stretching and a commentary by Stewie in the Long Version: "I know what you're thinking. Stewie's so late to the yoga party. I'm not even any good. Right? I mean, I'm okay. You know, I'm not the worst in the class. I've even been singled out a few times. Probably because it's mostly pregnant women in the group. Still, Brody must see something. Although I certainly don't. But then again I'm not the instructor, am I?"

The Short Version features a shorter alternative ending of the animation, the following animation also starts later (when Stewie touches his ear).

Brian immediately takes the bar in the Short Version, creating 1,5 secs of alternative footage (no pictures).

In the Long Version, however, a debate starts.
Brian: "I don't like strawberry yogurt."
Stewie: "Oh, picky for someone who eats the same food out of a plastic bowl on the floor every night."
Brian: "Okay, I get it."
Stewie: "A bowl that starts in the kitchen at the beginning of a meal and ends up in the living room."
Brian: "Shut up."
Stewie: "And then forgets four seconds later that he ate it."
Brian: "Shut up!"
Stewie: "Ooh, harsh tone, you just got bumped down to coconut mint."
He puts the bar away and takes another one.

16:10-16:16

Alternative dialog when Stewie raises the question why Brian has a gun.

In the Long Version, Stewie diverts and gets into sexual territory.
Stewie: "Is it like a sexual thing?"
Brian: "No."
Stewie: "Oh, that's a relief. I hate the idea of you getting your thrills pressing a gun up against your crotch. Ugh, just picturing it gives me the willies."
Brian: "You know, I really don't want to talk about this with you, Stewie."
Stewie: "Okay, okay, I respect that."
Brian: "Thank you."
Stewie: "Are you sure it's not a sexual thing?"
Brian: "I'm sure."
Stewie: "Oh, good, 'cause that'd be strange if you had fantasies about pressing a gun up against your crotch and feeling your heartbeat through your balls. Please tell me why you have it."
Brian: "I said I don't want to talk about it."
Stewie: "But I want to know. Just tell me. Come on."
Brian: "No."


The short version ends the debate a lot quicker in an alternative animation.
Brian: "I said I don't want to talk about it."
Stewie: "But I want to know. Just tell me. Come on."
Brian: "No."

Stewie suggests alternatives to guns in the Long Version only.
Stewie: "What about pills? Even hanging yourself is better. At least then you might grow an inch or two while you're hanging there. Of course, when they find you, you might have those Illeana Douglas eyes."
Brian: "Hmm."
Stewie: "So, um, why the gun?"

The following animation differs a bit.

Long Version 12,8 sec longer




17:33

Some dialog in the middle is missing.
Brian: "And, you know, I'm not talking about purpose in the shallow, Rick Warren over-the-counter self-help variety because that's...that's just delusion. That's not real. I mean, is there ever a time when we're truly in the present moment and not looking toward the past or the future? I mean, right there, in the moment?"
Stewie: "I get that way when I watch Handy Manny."
