If you’re at the stage in your life where seeing a Family Guy spoiler might send you in to a violent rage, then you might want to look away now. Also, consider getting a hobby. Hiking, knitting, voyeurism. Anything at all.
Family Guy fans are foaming at the mouth after Sunday night’s episode ?killed off a beloved main character without any warning at all. These are the fans that were obviously shielded from all the evil in the world when they were youngsters, that weird kid who’s parents told them that Bambi’s mom went to live on a farm and Mufasa was just sleeping. Welcome to the real world, kids. It sucks.
Brian, the Griffin family dog with a penchant for dry martinis and speaking English, was hit by a car on last night’s episode and went off to the great fire hydrant in the sky. All of this is despite the best efforts of a British toddler to rebuild his time machine, just like most of us did when our childhood pet died.
He’s going to be replaced by another dog straight away – again, welcome to the real word, kids – but that’s not stopping people taking to Twitter to express just how disgusted they are in Seth McFarlane and the whole debacle. Then again, when is somebody not furious with Seth McFarlane? It’s just a regular Monday for that guy.

You can tuck these safely away in the folder marked ‘First World Problems’, right next to the PDF file all about the time that Mummy and Daddy bought the black iPhone 5 when you specifically asked for the white one.
It gets even worse, because a bunch of people – at this point, 2450 people – with no actual real life problems have signed a petition to bring back Brian ASAP. If you really want to, you can sign the petition here, but please know that I’m judging you right now.
Rumours of Brian’s resurrection have already been swirling, what with all the people throwing their toys out the pram and sticking their fingers in their ears until that moment.
It’s not totally unfathomable that he might return at some point, because you know what?
It’s a fucking cartoon.
