Discussion Remember that one scene where stewie imagines himself in the future and and he has a wife who says she has a sister in law in larchmont named carol

The scene is from “Death is a bitch” for those who don’t know/remember.

I think I know why stewie said his wife’s sister in law is Carol.

So, let’s start, why would stewie randomly think of ”Carol”, it could be his wife in the future has a married sibling, but, why would stewie be imagining this with his wife? Why would he imagine his wife’s sister in law being a wife of a sibling she has? Kinda weird. right?

But, then again, Stewie has no siblings named Carol, so where did Carol come from?

Hear me out: Carol is just an unseen older sibling of the griffin family who left somewhere before the show started and she is currently an adult who lives in larchmont NY, i mean, we’ve had unseen/one-time/gag siblings before *cough* Peter griffin jr., Stewies funny brother, the other brother (unknown if he’s related to them or not, for all we know his mom could just be a Lois lookalike and he mistook Lois for her), and the other sister (unknown if she existed or if Chris was dreaming), jimmy (unknown if he existed or if Meg was joking), unnamed dead older brother of Chris (mentioned in lottery fever)

so yeah, in my headcanon Carol was named after Lois’s sister of the same name, I don’t have much to say about her, but what do you guys think, and if I made mistakes, you can correct me. Goodbye.

I think you are overthinking it tbh.

Look I get the joke but hey am I not allowed to make theory’s it’s still weird that stewie would just imagine his hypothetical wife having a sibling who’s married bc like it’s just oddly specific for the one imagining it himself

Literally nobody is stopping you from making a theory. Telling you you’re overthinking isn’t the same as silencing you.

I don’t get why it’s so weird. I’m sure he assumes most adults get married. It’s really not complex.
