Are you sure New Brian killed himself?

edit

Are you sure Stewie didn't kill him and made a fake suicide note? My description looks more accurate. Not trying to brag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.50.53 (talk) 22:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

can you people stop changing the image!!!

edit

I'm the one who uploaded this image Image:Family_guy_TMWTB.jpg

I just got this one from the preview!!!


SO, I change it to this one Image:Family guy themanwithtwobrains.jpg

Because its so much better! because it actually shows that Brian is not the one being loved anymore!

SO PLEASE STOP CHANGING THE IMAGE!!!!--Witchy2006 (talk) 16:46, 17 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

You need to fix your fair use rational for your image. It is clearly stolen from the image for Baby Not On Board. CTJF83Talk 16:58, 17 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fixed everything. Better image (similar to Fox.com picture), better quality, fixed rationale. Done.The Phantomnaut (talk) 07:42, 19 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

OK

edit

at one point in the episode New Brian plays a song on the flute,(not sure what it is), but you should incluse that in the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.102.146.203 (talk) 17:08, 19 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Morning mood by Grieg, which you can hear on YouTube. No source, but I just saw the episode. 67.158.43.41 (talk) 10:41, 30 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Will Sasso

Okay, who the heck did Will Sasso voice? I can't figure it out for the life of me. With all due respect, BrianGriffin-FG (talk) 23:58, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Title reference

edit

Friendly suggestion: Reference should be made to the episode's title paying homage to the similarily-named film (I'm sure that's what the writers had in mind when the chose the title). Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 23:52, 9 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Not without a source. Doniago (talk) 15:53, 10 April 2011 (UTC)Reply


Sorry I find that ridiculous, I've just had an insert similar to what Ruby 2010 was saying removed without explanation. Of course it's a pastiche of the film title The Man With Two Brains, there's no need to be pedantic about it, surely?...Martyn Smith (talk) 18:38, 22 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
See my edit from just now. I have been careful to not state that that's where the episode gets its title from. Can we possibly remember the spirit of Wikipedia here and not be pedantic about sources. This is not an article on quantum physics...Martyn Smith (talk) 18:49, 22 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
This isn't about pedantry, it's about original research. I don't believe it's appropriate to claim that one WP article is necessarily more "important" than another. Please provide a source to establish that the creators' named the episode after the movie rather than making a (likely but unverified) assumption. Per WP:V truth isn't enough (and you haven't proven that it's true in any case), we need verifiability. Thank you for your understanding. Doniago (talk) 19:16, 22 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

The title of the episode is a reference to the film The Man with Two Brains. Drsruli (talk) 07:03, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yes, this was discussed in the text right above your comment. DonIago (talk) 19:23, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

IMDb for this minor (common sense) reference: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1317902/trivia/?ref_=tt_trv_trv Drsruli (talk) 20:37, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

WP:RS/IMDb. DonIago (talk) 20:45, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yes, it's not outright banned. There's some wiggle room. In THIS case, considering "common sense and editorial judgement" clause at original research, I think that it should be sufficient and permitted. Drsruli (talk) 20:57, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

If it's so obvious, then surely there's a more reliable source that's discussed it? DonIago (talk) 01:39, 4 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yes, we should add or replace the source with a better one, when it is found. (In some cases, when it comes to obvious title references, they seem to be permitted on Wikipedia with no source at all ("common sense"). For example: Pain & Gain.) Drsruli (talk) 04:14, 4 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

That nobody's challenged that doesn't mean that it's great the way it is without a source. Frankly, I'm tempted to tag it. DonIago (talk) 05:29, 4 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

It's just one example. Drsruli (talk) 00:58, 5 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
