<!-- %% One quote per page -- see TipsWorksheet. Please use the quotes page. -->

== Anime and Manga ==

* Akane Tendo from ''[[Ranma One Half]]'' says that it wouldn't be fair for Ranma and Akane to get married because she'd be emotionally crushed, but feels that it's alright for Ranma, Ukyo, and Kodachi to be emotionally crushed because it's not her.

* Leonard Tessarossa from ''[[Full Metal Panic]]''. He makes a big deal about how he's a perfect gentleman, and is shown to constantly [[Green-Eyed Monster|get jealous and angry]] when people like [[Magnetic Hero|Sousuke]] more than him, wondering ''why'', since Sousuke is far less [[Men Are Uncultured|"cultured"]] and [[Sociopathic Hero|directly killed]] more people than him. Unfortunately, as much as he likes to think so, a gentleman he is not. No gentleman would (knowing [[Sacred First Kiss|how important it is to a woman]]) force a kiss on a girl who likes someone else, give the girl an [[Armor-Piercing Slap]] when she tells the other guy she loves him,just a matter of scale. or try to brainwash her so that she "won't resist him" any more (to the point where she eventually softly asks him if he "won't be violent" any more). Combining all this, there ''is'' a reason why Leonard is one of the most agreed upon [[The Scrappy|Scrappies]] in the series.

** The dub changes his motivation, he wants to sever the link between humans and Pokemon simply because he thinks all humans treat Pokemon as tools. And of course he is using Pokemon as tools to accomplish this.

** Played for laughs in the ''Best Wishes'' series: when Ash messes something up (sometimes by accident) or says something out of place, Iris would often call him a kid...even though SHE'S a kid herself! However, it's more like a sister teasing her brother than actual taunting.

* ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' has Blue Cosmos. Their main goal is to kill all of the [[Designer Babies|Coordinators]], and how do they do it? By kidnapping children and conditioning them into Artificial Coordinators, which is the only way they could possibly stand a chance in 1 on 1 combat against ZAFT. It should be noted that the process used to create these "Extended", which involves [[Psycho Serum|drugs]], mental conditioning, torture, and memory tampering is far, far more invasive than the process used to make Coordinators.

** ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'': Shinn Asuka is horrified when he finds out about Stella's backstory as a [[Tyke Bomb]], disobeys orders in order to save her, and is outraged when Kira Yamato cuts her down while she is rampaging through Berlin. In an earlier episode, Shinn had killed Stella's fellow [[Super Soldier]] and Tykebomb, Auel. In a later episode, he kills her other partner, Sting. In both cases, he is fully aware of who they are and what he's killing--and treats them like monsters who deserve to die.

** There was also a terrorist group called La Eden, who bomb numerous cities, their reason was to stop Celestial Being from their military interventions. They state that their actions weren't evil, however there actions hardly considered to be anything but evil.

** And of course there's Light himself. Ryuk tells him that even if he succeeds in killing all the evil people, he'll remain as the only evil person, and Light refuses to consider what he does evil.

** Also Near, if {{spoiler|Matsuda}}'s theory {{spoiler|that he wrote Mikami's name in the Death Note to verify it was real, thus enabling him to expose Light as Kira}} is true.

** Also, according to Kimblee, Pride is this, as he {{spoiler|insults humans and states his desire to [[Grand Theft Me|steal Ed's body]] in the same breath}}. It's why Kimblee decides to {{spoiler|help Ed}}.

** Ed, Winry, and Al believe that Scar should be punished for the murders that he committed against Amestrians, but don't believe that Mustang, Hawkeye, and the rest of the Amestrian soldiers should be punished for doing the same thing to Ishvalans. Ed argues that the Amestrians were manipulated by the Homunculi, but Riza, one of the soldiers who fought in Ishval, does not believe that excuses them.

** Scar can be considered this, as he, an Ishvalan, hates alchemy, but uses the deconstruction part of it to kill his targets. {{spoiler|When he comes to terms with himself and realizes what he's doing is wrong, he gets a tattoo on his other arm and starts using alchemy}}.

* Touga from [[Revolutionary Girl Utena]] fits this. He mistakenly believes his sister Nanami is a lesbian and gives her a lecture about why homosexuality is wrong. At this point, he's sleeping with {{spoiler|Akio}}

* ''[[Togainu no Chi]]'': Akira becomes this at the end of the anime series. {{spoiler|When he saves Rin from Shiki, he tells Rin to forget about killing Shiki because it's not worth it. Later on, Shiki kills Keisuke and Akira tries to kill him. [[Ironic Echo|Rin tells him the same thing.]] Akira doesn't listen to him at the end and returns to Toshima to kill Shiki.}}

** Lelouch is a hypocrite, too, but the big difference between him and Suzaku is that [[Hypocrisy Nod|he hold no illusions about that fact]].

** Ohgi believes that soldiers should not be used as pawns, which he holds to... until {{spoiler|he uses Kallen to bait out his leader who he intends to turn over to Schneizel in exchange for Zero}}. Also, he contradicts his bitterness over Lelouch's disappearance during the Black Rebellion, both by his abandonment mid-season, and {{spoiler|the aforementioned trade made without the UFN's consent that would have left its member nations abandoned}}.

* [[Bleach]]'s [[Master of Illusion|Aizen]] is a major one, despite being noted as a figure of fearlessness and doesn't depend on anyone {{spoiler|the fight leading to his defeat has him using a literal plot device to save himself whenever he's about to die and his over-dependence on it results in it rejecting him once Ichigo (after a special training session) kicks him around town. He also tells Ichigo to abandon his arrogance, in spite of growing more obnoxious ever since his last fight so far}}.

 

 

== Fan Fiction ==

* In ''[[Oh God Not Again (Fanfic)|Oh God Not Again]]'', Harry (affectionately) thinks this when {{spoiler|Sirius}} insists Snape should really let go of his resentment. Because {{spoiler|Sirius himself}} [[Sarcasm Mode|is quite mature in those regards]].

* Many "Alternate Universe" ''Harry Potter'' fanfics have depicted Harry being Sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor. In almost every single one of them, Harry becomes a pureblood bigot, subscribing to and even championing Slytherin House's philosophy condemning Muggles and Muggle-born wizards as inferior ... despite the fact that ''Harry's own mother,'' who sacrificed her life to save Harry's, was Muggle-born.

 

== Film ==

** In ''First Class'', Shaw says that "We don't hurt our own kind." {{spoiler|A few scenes later, he kills Darwin.}}

** Charles uses "mutant and proud" as part of his pick-up lines, which are basically a very erudite variation on "you have pretty (insert trait here)", in the presence of his adopted sister, who has been actively discouraged by Charles from taking any pride in her mutation.

* Jigsaw/John Kramer from the ''[[Saw]]'' saga. A terminally ill cancer patient, he puts people in ''deadly traps'' for them to appreciate life. And if this is not hypocritical enough, hear this: in Saw III, Jigsaw preaches about giving up revenge, because it only hurts everyone. Yet the ''whole'' main Saw VI game is one big freaking revenge against {{spoiler|the man who denied him coverage}}. A great example of such hypocrisy is the Hanging Trap, in which no matter who {{spoiler|William}} chooses, an innocent will die.

** The films also make a point about how Jigsaw is "technically" not a serial killer, as he does not directly kill anyone -- a distinction about as convincing as dropping a safe on someone and then claiming the safe is guilty. In ''Saw III'' Jigsaw flat-out states that he despises murderers, which is why he turns on his protege` Amanda. [[Blatant Lies]]- in the first ''Saw'' alone the central character is basically given two ways out: kill his fellow captive, or cut through his own feet, and likely bleed to death. Amanda's own first test required her to find a key to her headlock deathtrap ''inside a mans stomach'', and he even provided her with the knife (though the guy appeared dead at first, it turned out he was merely drugged). At the end of the film Jigsaw himself {{spoiler|''leaves Adam there to die'', and he '''is''' dead because we saw the body in the next film}}. The sequels can be just as bad.

** Later in the film he discovers that she has become a prostitute following the death of her husband...but apparently hasn't changed her way of thinking. As she complains to Jack, "This life is not only wicked and sinful, it isn't even any fun. If I was married and could come here once or twice a week, it might be fun." She also admits that when Jack was living with her and the Reverend, she would watch him sleeping and be tempted to wake him up. "I wish that I had," she says. "It would have been ''deliciously'' wicked." Apparently Mrs. Pendrake is the kind of person who genuinely believes that certain activities are immoral...and gets off on them for precisely that reason.

* Warden Norton in ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'' is one of the most hateful and finest examples in cinema. A man who claims to be a man of God but is incredibly corrupt and will resort to {{spoiler|murdering his prisoners}} to get what he wants.

{{quote| "''[[Villainous Breakdown|This is a conspiracy. That's what this is. It's one big damn conspiracy! And everyone's in on it!]]''"}}

* Dr. Frank N. Furter from the ''[[Rocky Horror Picture Show]]''. He sees no problem with people having random sex with one another... unless it's with Rocky. [[Berserk Button|He cannot]] ''stand'' [[Berserk Button|seeing anyone besides him with Rocky]].

* {{spoiler|1=DuPont}} in [[Equilibrium]] has created [[Utopia Justifies the Means|utopia]] by forcing all citizens to take emotion supressing drugs and destroying artwork in case it stimulates unnecessary emotion. {{spoiler|1=When Preston raids his office at the climax of the film, it's lavishly decorated with art that didn't get incinerated, and it's implied that DuPont and his [[The Dragon|second-in-command]] are sense-offenders who avoid taking the drugs.}}

 

== Literature ==

** And there's is [[Hiding Behind Religion|Alec, to a fair extent when he suddenly finds religion.]]

* Mr. Brocklehurst in ''[[Jane Eyre]]'' has the girls at Jane's boarding school, over which he is superintendent, fed meals lacking in nutritional value and given sleeping quarters that are less than fit for any humans, with the aim of teaching humility...yet his own children are comfortably clothed, housed and fed.

** And then we have [[Tyrant Takes the Helm|Umbridge]]. Although fans have [[Complete Monster|a lot of reasons]] to [[Hate Sink|hate her]] with [[Love to Hate|relish]], her hypocrisy is certainly one of the main ones. In her introductory book, she is seen as an agent of the Ministry, sycophantic to its causes and forcing tyrannical laws onto the school in order to get her own way, yet at the same time, she gleefully (although secretly) engages in activities that are highly illegal and certainly unforgivable, even by the Ministry. Worse, she punishes Harry most severely for asserting that Voldemort is at large, insisting that he "not tell lies", while aping the official Ministry line on Voldemort, which is patently and obviously false. In the final book, {{spoiler|she persecutes Muggle-borns for "stealing magic" which she should certainly know is a nonsensical charge, while claiming that the locket she took as a bribe is an old family heirloom supporting her own bloodline. The injustice and cruelty of this enrages Harry so much that he attacks her immediately without resorting to a more subtle plan.}}

* Sinclair Lewis' ''Elmer Gantry'' is a classic of the type. Although with a goodly amount of [[Snake Oil Salesman]] thrown in. It's hard to think of a Sinclair Lewis novel that ''wasn't'' populated [[Only Sane Man|almost to the point of exclusivity]] with these.

{{quote| ''"Really," said Gregory superciliously, "the examples you choose--"<br />

"I beg your pardon," said Syme grimly, "I forgot we had abolished all conventions."'' }}

{{quote| "We take a somewhat different view of hypocrisy,” Finkle-[[Mc Graw]] continued. “In the late-twentieth-century Weltanschauung, a hypocrite was someone who espoused high moral views as part of a planned campaign of deception-he never held these beliefs sincerely and routinely violated them in privacy. Of course, most hypocrites are not like that. Most of the time it’s a spirit-is-willing, flesh-is-weak sort of thing.”<br />

“That we occasionally violate our own stated moral code,” Major Napier said, working it through, “does not imply that we are insincere in espousing that code.” }}

* Julien Sorel in ''[[The Red and The Black]]'' idolizes Napoleon and dreams of being a war hero. But he figures he can earn both social status and a good income by becoming a priest, so he pursues that unsuitable vocation, fully aware of his hypocrisy.

* In the ''[[Everworld]]'' series, [[Manipulative Bitch|Senna]] tries to give David, Jalil, April, and Christopher to the local [[Complete Monster]], [[Norse Mythology|Hel.]] After the whole thing is said and done, they all give Senna crap for it, but she brushes it off with a really weak [[I Did What I Had to Do]] type excuse. Five books later, Senna's mother tries to give Senna to Merlin in order to make it so that Loki, Ka Anor, and the other gods can't use her as a Gateway and invade the real world. Senna [[OOC Is Serious Business|completely]] [[Not So Stoic|loses]] [[Emotionless Girl|her]] [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|composure]].

** Later, David notes (in his narration) that while Senna believes that she can do anything to anyone, she also believes that anything done to ''her'' is unforgivable, and that this should not come as a shock to anyone.

** That's because from Senna's viewpoint, [[It's All About Me]], and everyone else is, at best, a tool or servant for her use.

* ''[[In Death]]'': Principal Mosebly is revealed to be this in ''Innocent In Death''. She claims to stand for the school and it's best interests. However, it turns out that she was not only aware that one teacher Reed Williams had been having sex with the parents of schoolchildren and engaging in sexual harassment, but she had sex with him in the pool and in her own office! She only took steps to have him resign when she found out that he had rape drugs in his possession and that he was the prime suspect of murdering a teacher in the school. Peabody refers to her as a [[Hypocrite]] at one point.

* ''Sisterhood'' series by [[Fern Michaels]]: Well, now! Prosecutor Jack Emery tries to have the Vigilantes arrested...at least until the book ''The Jury''. There he was, practically spewing about how lawbreakers should be punished, and yet he never seems to notice that ''he'' broke a thousand laws himself in trying to arrest the Vigilantes. Indeed, several authority figures pretty much turn into this in helping the Vigilantes, and said authority figures eventually resign from their posts. [[Double Standards]] rear their ugly heads more than once, by showing that men mistreating women is a terrible thing and that women mistreating men is a great thing. The books ''Deja Vu'' and ''Home Free'' show the consequences of this.

 

== Live Action TV ==

** The Cylons are hypocrites in an even worse manner, actually. Cylons rebelled against man to punish them for their enslavement and the crimes committed against them. The humanoid Cylons {{spoiler|promptly ''improved'' their ability to enslave Centurions and even went so far as to ''lobotomize'' their own brethren to keep them under control}}.

* Serena on ''[[Gossip Girl]]''. Standing there saying "My entire life I've been bending over backwards to avoid hurting your feelings!" to Blair when two years before she'd slept with her boyfriend and then abandoned her without a single word for ''a year'' while Blair's parents went through a public, traumatic divorce. And before that, Serena regularly showed up at Blair's house wasted and had to be taken care of by her.

* ''[[CSI]]'' - A suicide cult leader is found murdered outside the compound with his dead followers inside. It turns out {{spoiler|that he was a con man, and that this was not his first suicide cult. He was murdered by a devoted follower when she discovered him loading up the cult's collected possessions in preparation for fleeing. He'd planned to simply drug the followers so they'd wake up in the morning, but the follower went all the way but lacked the conviction to kill herself}}.

** In another episode we see a pimp giving a speech about breaking the bonds of slavery, where in the same episode the postitutes are kidnapped, raped, emotionally and physically abused, branded as cattle, traded and "cattle rustled" and then either killed or thrown out on the street with no means to support themselves.

* ''[[ER]]'''s Kerry Weaver and Mark Greene, who frequently made people's lives hell if they even ''thought'' about bending or breaking the rules, yet never had any problem bending or breaking the rules themselves. Kerry also made people's lives hell for the slightest of screw-ups, yet almost always acted as if her own screw-ups were no big deal.

** There's also the fact that her [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] personality makes her immediately dislike Isabella and insist that she's not trustworthy, when in her first appearance Kate deliberately betrayed Robin in order to secure the safety of her brother. To make matters worse, Isabella was fully on the outlaws' side until Robin breaks up with her ''on Kate's insistence that he shouldn't trust her.''

{{quote| '''Damar''': To kill her and my son... the casual brutality of it... the waste of life. What kind of state tolerates the murder of innocent women and children? What kind of people give those orders?<br />

'''Kira''': Yeah, Damar, what kind of people give those orders? }}

** Notably, this is actually part of his character development. Damar towed the line under Dukat and the Dominion, slowly being driven to rebel after seeing his people be pushed to the sidelines and sacrificed needlessly. It is this quote which helps him to realize what Cardassia was, and why it needs to change.

** Gul Dukat became a leader of a Pah-Wraith cult, and tried to lead them in a mass-suicide. While holding their suicide pills, Kira tried to stop them and bumped into Dukat and the pill he was holding became scattered with a few hundred others. The cult got Kira under control but Dukat was frantically looking for the pill he had. Everyone realized that his pill was a fake; he wasn't planning on committing suicide at all. Needless to say, his influence on the cult fell apart pretty quickly.

* [[Degrassi]]: The Next Generation: Emma Nelson has done so many hypocritical things during her years on the show that she could be the [[Trope Namer]].

** The reason he hates magic in the first place is because he made a deal with a sorceress to concieve a son with his barren wife. Furthermore, he describes his deceased wife as "my soul" and yet we later find out that he had an affair with his best friend's wife, and that (as he says to his son) "I know about the temptations of serving girls."

* A notable example from ''[[Noah's Arc]]'' is when Noah enters a sex party to try and find Ricky, and a guy tries to aggressively flirt with him. Malik immediately steps in and tell him to back off, and that no means no. He then immediately proceeeds to flirt with Noah even more aggressively, as Noah says no.

* Dan Humphrey and Vanessa Abrams on ''[[Gossip Girl]]''. They spend half their time judging the UES kids for the things they do and the other half of their time doing the exact same things as the UES kids. In season four Dan even told his sister Jenny she would be better off leaving Manhattan because she sunk to Chuck and Blair's level by scheming against them, and in the very next episode Dan himself schemed against Chuck and Blair.

* While it isn't done on purpose, Kurt from [[Glee]] is a huge hypocrite. During the first season, he comes out of the closet and starts to get used to living as an out gay man, and he begins to assert that he was born gay, and that he can't change who he is for someone else...but at the same time, he tries to seduce Finn, who happens to be decidedly straight. Despite his own opinion that he is who he is and that that can't change, he constantly tries to get close to Finn and keeps telling Finn that girls are all catty and troublesome, and that he should go out with boys instead - in other words, he tries to turn Finn gay. The second season has Kurt act like a hypocrite as well - Despite Kurt's talks about how important LGBT rights are and gay visibility, the second that Blaine confesses that [[Bi the Way|he might be bisexual,]] Kurt has a huge rant about how [[No Bisexuals|bisexuals don't exist,]] and how they're all [[Unfortunate Implications|"gays who are too afraid to come out completely".]]

 

== Video Games ==

* Francis McReary from ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'' the Deputy Police Commissioner of [[Vice City|Liberty City]], who honestly believes that his status and position automatically make him a morally just person and acquits him of any crimes that he commits. You quickly see past this facade when he orders you to gun down people by the dozens in order to hide his corruption and more importantly, when he {{spoiler|orders you to gun down his own brother to save his career}}.

* Some accuse Yuri Lowell from ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'' of this. In-universe, Flynn [[What the Hell, Hero?|calls him out on it]] and stats that he is ''very'' close to [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]]. Out of universe, the debate is close to reaching [[Internet Backdraft]] levels. What most people forget, however, is that Yuri makes a [[Hypocrisy Nod]]:

* ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' - Franziska von Karma constantly refers to people by their full names. When she is called by her first name, she says that calling people by their full names is rude. Like father, like daughter, at least in regards to hypocrisy. {{spoiler|Case four of ''Investigations''}} has a great example of this:

{{quote| '''Manfred''': There shall be no yelling in this sacred hall of law! [Coupled with a loud cane slam and the sound effects denoting yelling.]}}

* The Ascalonians of ''[[Guild Wars]]'', and particularly Gwen, decry the Charr for destroying their country and killing most of them. Unfortunately, they then go on to try to commit genocide against the Charr. Since the RPG elements of Guild Wars Nightfall are gone by EotN, the player has no real choice but to go along with it.

** ''BioShock'''s Andrew Ryan founded the underwater city of Rapture to be an [[Ayn Rand|Objectivist]] utopia, where personal freedom and self-advancement were valued above all else. However, Ryan's desire to keep his city an Objectivist utopia eventually led to him taking dictatorial control over the city to prevent it from falling into the hands of his (much more competent) competition... exactly the way his own theory said it ought to. On the other hand, said competition was also a crime boss and Rapture would likely been a dictatorship under him anyway, so YMMV.

* Kreia of ''[[Knights of the Old Republic|Knights Of The Old Republic II]]'' will talk about how arrogant and closed minded the Jedi are and how they should be more open to other people's ideas. Of course, if you then point out flaws in ''her'' philosophy, she'll dismiss you as incapable of understanding it.

** In addition, Kreia despises [[The Force]] and those who are dependent on it, and {{spoiler|seeks to destroy it.}} However, all of her attacks are dependent on the Force, and she's too physically frail to fight otherwise. If the player calls her on this, she claims that it's because being intimate with the Force gives greater insight on {{spoiler|how to destroy it.}} But to her credit, she does concede that the player makes a good point, and may very well be right.

** The same could be said about Anders, who accuses her of going too far in her treatment of mages as dangerous people, yet he {{spoiler|proves just how dangerous and obsessed he himself is - ask the people in the Chantry he blew up}}. Not exactly the strongest point in making mages seem like all the other people.

** And Fenris believes Mages are too powerful to be trusted and will inevitably abuse their power, so they should accept being enslaved and controlled by the Chantry. He himself is an escaped slave with magical powers who is being hunted by his former master and will mercilessly kill those who are no longer a threat to him if they piss him off enough. Like Meredith he has a massive [[Freudian Excuse]], but it gets a little old when he spouts out reasons for mistreating mages that could just as easily apply to him.

* Isamu in [[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]] intends to create Musubi, a world of complete isolation in which all beings are self-reliant and allowed to pursue their own goals without any interaction with each other. He has to rely heavily on the Demi-fiend in order to bring about this vision.

* ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'' has Ghetsis, who {{spoiler|claims N is a freak without a human heart, when it was Ghetsis who was manipulating N the whole time. N is his ''son''. Cheren and Alder do note this, though. N was only trying to do what he felt was right, but Ghetsis is a self-serving monster.}}

'''Seymour:''' [[Establishing Character Moment|Then pretend I didn't say it.]] }}

* In ''[[Shin Megami Tensei I]]'', the Chaos Hero (one of the main hero's companions) leaves the group after defeating his nemesis Ozawa, since now that he's finally acquired real power, you'll just hold him back and slow him down. Nevermind that you've carried him for most of the game until this point, saved him, helped him get out of the afterlife and back to the living world, AND that his precious new power stems from him stealing your most powerful demon and fusing with it.

 

 

== Web Comics ==

* ''[[Goblin Hollow]]'': Gothchilde complains that people are hypocritical fakers -- while claiming to be a 300-year-old vampire.

* Cassie of ''[[The Wotch]]'' realizes this in [http://thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2008-12-09 here]

* In [http://mortifer.smackjeeves.com Mortifer], it's explained that demons get more powerful from certain emotions or lifestyles related to their power. While all of them become more powerful as they [[Power Born of Madness|lose their grip on reality]], {{spoiler|Zebidiah}}, as a shapeshifting demon, becomes more powerful the more hypocritical he is. {{spoiler|Which is why he works as a priest despite being a demon.}}

** In the mother Black Dragon's defense, V had just {{spoiler|[[Moral Event Horizon|committed genocide against the dragon's entire extended family line, killing hundreds of innocent dragons, not to mention UNBORN dragons.]] }}

** Another example is Redcloak saying that paladins are unnatural abominations due to their magical lack of fear. He even refers to himself as a "100% all-natural goblin" in his [[Hannibal Lecture]]. He conveniently leaves out the fact that he's wearing a magical artefact that has prolonged his natural lifespan by decades.

* In ''[[Sinfest]]'', [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1810 using Slick as a sounding board, Monique complains about being objectified and made to feel like a -- sounding board.]

* [[Zinnia Jones]]: ...[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZwaJMYbnqk Hypocrisy has it's benefits]

** Made even more blatant, when he claims that even if the iPhone counts, "[[You Keep Using That Word|At least I'm not a hypocrite.]]" The Critic is so irritated that he has to hand the conversation over to [[Jew Wario]].

 

 

** The fact that Quagmire gave that speech at all is completly hypocritical since he is guilty of almost every crime he accuses Brian of and more. Brian dating Bimbos and saying he loves a womans mind is pretty minor when Quagmire has commited 'every' sexual offence there is.

** He did once hold the Mayor hostage over the issue of same sex marriage.
