Does the Family Hear Stewie?

Understanding Stewie
There is much debate over which characters in Family Guy can understand Stewie. ... MacFarlane went on to say that Brian always hears Stewie, and more recently so does Chris, but the writers usually strive for Peter, Lois, and Meg (apart from Leggo My Meg-O) not to hear him.

Why can't family hear Stewie?

A running gag has occurred over whether or not the family can understand Stewie's speech, especially given his tendency towards homicidal remarks. The Griffins appear to ignore most of what Stewie says, though on occasion they have responded to his speech. This has been referred in "E. Peterbus Unum" as a meta-joke.

Can the family hear Brian?

Originally Answered: Can the family hear Brian talk? Yes, the family has understood Brian for the entire show. However, the family sometimes doesn't understand Stewie. It is rather confusing, as in some episodes they'll understand him, but in others they won't understand him.
