It wasn't even sad. It was so poorly executed and it didn't really deliver. The whole episode was blah, but that's expected when you watch Family Guy. I already said this, but Family Guy should never do a serious storyline.
This.

Family Guy just got really stupid when they tried serious stuff. It's suppose to be a comedy, and not to say it's impossible to do serious stories, but the way they present them and the way the "humor" is ran through an episode, they just can't execute it right.

Not to mention it is meant to be shock-comedy, which they also fail at. They seemingly try to mix South Park with Simpsons but fails at being neither. Peter is some Blue mix of Randy and Homer, without either's lovable goofiness or redeeming features.

It's just difficult in general to take a show that's already based on comedy and make it serious.

Peter is Blue but as you said, has that lovable feature.
Chris has the same features of Peter. Blue but lovable, but seems more shy and a bit more serious at times.
Meg is a normal teenage girl that trys to get with every boy due to lack of attention at home.
Brian was just a drunk and smoker, which was fun until they turned him into a fucking politician.
Stewie was the baby who could talk(yet few people understood him) and was bent on killing his mother with these wacky inventions for a baby. Now he's just....well gay.

Brian fuck sucks too, every episode he has is some politic boring crap.
Wow, thanks for the 1 dimensional perspective bro.

What I liked about Brian was he had an extra dynamic that many of the characters didn't, to me show went into its decline after season 7. Yet he was the only 1 who's character was still thoroughly entertaining. To be fair, Seth created the character Brian in his image, implementing a lot his personality traits into the Brian character, so I would suggest never becoming friends with him.

I'm not saying your wrong; opinions and all that, but it just sounds like your being very closed minded on the character from your 'political crap' comment.

I said Peter isn't lovable.

Really? He seems pretty lovable to me though, just a bit to silly at times but he also has his moments where he shows he cares.

Far and few inbetween. Peter is arguably the worst TV dad of all time. Homer and Randy always redeem themselves in the end of their hi jinks whilst it is seldom that Peter truly redeems himself. Most of the Griffin household lack redeeming qualities and in the one episode they acknowledge it (the hurricane one) they shit it all down the drain by the end.

Peter can't be worst than Goku in terms of father :hmm:

At the end of the day, he is there to tell them that he loves them still. He also is legally Blue....

He admitted in an episode that he doesn't love them. In fact he hates spending time with his children.

I'll be honest, the part where the car hits Brian made me laugh the most. The rest of the scene was meh. I still watch Family guy, but it's mostly hit and miss with the show nowadays. Vestibule Peter? WTF was that about?

I don't even really watch this anymore. The only reason I saw keeping Brian around was to be Stewie's right-hand..man..dog. Yeah, dog. Man-dog?

Brian was the most normal next to Meg (scary how many kids live her life) but he was very preachy, so I can understand people not liking listening to him.

According to producers they chose to kill off Brian because it was the most logical thing to do. It's much more common for a family to lose a pet than a child or something like that.

Yeah, I understand. But the whole writing concept of it was so bad.

From 1999 to 2013, they kill off a main character with a random car pulling out of his drive way and running over Brian?
Why didn't Stewie go to kill the man who ran over Brian?
Why didn't Stewie continue going on search to find the part he needed to build a time machine?
I mean, if he was his best friend, why not?
Within the first 15 minutes they killed a main character and by the last 15 minutes, he has been replaced and possibly forgotten.
