* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Meg Griffin has been described by Brian as "far sweeter and kinder than the typical American girl" and has put up with a lot of abuse these past couple of years. However under the right circumstances, Meg could unleash [[Unstoppable Rage|her repressed rage]] on anyone that [[Not So Harmless|pisses her off enough]] or have prison life [[Took a Level In Badass|turn her into]] [[Tranquil Fury|hardened badass]] [[Who's Laughing Now?|that her whole family]] [[From Nobody to Nightmare|is DEATHLY afraid of]].

** Also barely contains his fury at Brian for accidentally mistaking his niece for a boy, as she lost all her hair through chemotherapy. One gets the impression that if it wasn't christmas and they were in line to see Santa, Quagmire would have beaten the living daylights out of Brian.

* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: In the episode "Jerome is the New Black," Quagmire gives [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|a spectacular]] one to Brian, who has spent the entire episode trying to be his friend. It helps that the points he makes are quite valid [[Take That Scrappy|as they were based on complaints viewers had been making about Brian for a good while]]. However this also had the effect of making Brain look more sympathetic especially considering later episodes.

{{quote|'''Quagmire''': OK. I'll tell ya. You are the worst person I know. You constantly hit on your best friend's wife, the man pays for your food and rescued you from certain death, and this is how you repay him? And to add insult to injury, you defecate all over his yard. (getting angrier) and you're such a sponge. You pay for nothing -- you're always like "Ooh, I'll get you later," but later never comes. And what really bothers me, is you pretend that you're this deep guy that loves women for their souls, but all you do is date bimbos. Yeah, I date women for their bodies, but at least I'm honest about it. I don't buy them a copy of ''[[The Catcher in The Rye]]'' and then lecture them with some 7th Grade interpretation about Holden Caulfield is some profound intellectual, he wasn't. He was a SPOILED BRAT. And that's why you like him so much -- he's YOU. GOD, you're pretentious. (brimming with indignation) And you delude yourself by thinking you're a great writer, even though you're terrible. You know, I shoulda known Cheryl Tiegs didn't write me that note... she woulda know there's no "A" in the word "definite." And what I think I hate most about you, is your textbook liberal agenda. How we should (mockingly) "Legalize Pot, maaan..." How big business is crushing the underclass, how homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America... well what have YOU done to help?! I work down at the Soup Kitchen, Brian... never seen YOU down there... you wanna help? GRAB A LADLE. And by the way, driving a Prius does not make you Jesus Christ. Oh, WAIT -- you don't believe in Jesus Christ, or any religion for that matter... because "religion is for idiots." Well who the HELL are YOU to talk down to anyone?! You failed college TWICE, which isn't nearly as bad as your failure as a father -- how's that son of yours you never see? But you know what? I could forgive all of that... all of it... if you weren't such a BORE. That's the worst of it, Brian. You're just a big, sad, alcoholic BORE. ''Sigh...'' Well, see ya, Brian. Thanks for the fucking steak.}}

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Many of his recent rants (see [[Self-Deprecation]] and [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]). In addition to the other examples under this character sheet, Quagmire has complained about never being given his own spinoff unlike Cleveland, to which Peter in response lampshades that Quagmire is a [[Memetic Molester|convicted rapist]].

* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: Seems to be evolving this way against Brian. While more a one-sided amnosity the majority of times early on, Brian has gradually given more retaliation to Quagmire's bitterness towards him, reaching to the point of a rather even handedly vicious [[Escalating War]] in "Tiegs For Two".

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: He may go after any attractive woman that catches his eye, but several episodes show that he has a unhealthy obsession with Lois.
