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.
