Summary

Possibly the best character on television - period. From Family Guy

Stewie!

Stewie is extremely intelligent and speaks with an affected English accent. His Machiavellian ambitions include world domination and matricide. His personality and mannerisms have been compared by Seth MacFarlane to those of a Bond villain. In the commentary of one episode, MacFarlane reveals that Stewie's evil personality is a result of Lois smoking marijuana while pregnant with him, as is mentioned in a dream sequence in the episode "Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington" (although the episode "Chitty Chitty Death Bang" shows his personality as sinister even while existing as Peter's sperm).

And, as is usual with this unpredictable character, he flip-flops his sociopathic edge occasionally to reveal a warm talented side, particularly for members of his family. He discovered he loves and misses his mother when she spent all her time running for school councilwoman, singing "Accustomed to Her Face" from My Fair Lady. When Brian, in the grip of a cocaine induced dementia screams violently at Megan's unasked-for comments, Stewie rebounds with "Just because you can't feel your teeth doesn't mean the girl can't feel your insults". He admits his affection for his father after being saved from enslavement at Disneyworld's Its a Small World ride. He is a flawless musician, with skills at the piano, banjo, guitar, and tuba; a noteworthy singer/dancer; and can provide answers to complex, university level examinations in seconds. Stewie has also been shown to have certain athletic prowess that is normally unattainable at his age, such as walking and being able to lift or move objects of greater weight than himself, such as dragging away a seven year old bully in "The Kiss Seen Around the World", though this is never really mentioned by anyone on the show.

Stewie's sophisticated attitude/nature and mannerisms are juxtaposed with typical childish interests and drives. He reads literature such as Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus and Sun-Tzu, and cites pop culture references that date much further back than his age would permit; however, he is also fascinated by Raffi and the Teletubbies. In the episode The Road to Europe he travels to the BBC in England, in order to meet Mother Maggie, who is the host of a children's television program.

Stewie succumbs to other weaknesses of children his age, such as when Peter plays 'Peek-a-Boo' or when Lois subdues him by blowing on his stomach in "Emission Impossible". MacFarlane has stated that Stewie is meant to represent the general helplessness of an infant through the eyes of an adult.

Stewie's mastery of physics and mechanical engineering are at a science-fictional level. He constructs a laser, advanced fighter-jets, a mind control device, a weather control device, robots, and even a time machine. Stewie employs these to cope with the stresses of infant life (such as teething pain, and eating hated broccoli) and to kill Lois with no success. Stewie seems to be constantly carrying a concealed firearm, which he whips out whenever he wants to.

Stewie's personality has changed significantly over the course of the series; he has gradually grown away from the matricidal tendencies and diabolical genius that so dominated his character during the show's first few seasons. He has also developed a friendly rivalry with Brian, the family dog.
