Tired of Family Guy crap yet?

Maybe we were all too grossed out by the idea of Brian actually eating Stewie's crap to notice something Brian should have realized long before putting his nose to the diaper:

Remember how in "Breaking Out Is Hard to Do" the Griffin household degenerated into a pigsty when Lois went to jail? Peter, Brian, Meg and Chris are sitting on the couch, looking all dirty, when Stewie comes in, pleading for someone to change his diaper. "I can't fit any more in there," the poor baby says and then just falls down face flat on the floor.

Let's not forget that Brian has a long memory. There was an episode in Season 4 or 5 in which Brian got back at Peter for something that happened in Season 3. And if Stewie really is still 1-year-old, shouldn't Brian remember that Stewie survived the ordeal of Lois's incarceration despite so few diaper changes?

It was painful to watch that scene when Brian actually eats Stewie's crap. It felt very wrong. Now that I remembered these scenes from previous episodes, I understand why it felt so wrong for the character.
