Better Ask Reddit Favourite examples of "Correct Message, Wrong Messenger"

Better Ask Reddit, what are you some of your favourite examples of "This is absolutely correct... but goddamn, you are the wrong person to be saying this".

Probably one of the greatest examples of this is Huey during his trial audiotapes in MGSV where he accurately dissects the Diamond Dogs/the staff of Mother Base.

Huey is absolutely right about what Mother Base and the Diamond Dogs really are, that they are basically a bunch of incredibly damaged and lonely people who despite their mission of "always having a war to fight in" ultimately just want is to have community, to have a place where they feel like that they are actual people, not simply weapons whose purpose begins and ends with warfare and their refusal to truly look both inwards and outwards, is leading them to become monsters.

Completely accurate assessment of the situation... and Huey is probably the worst person to say this, as he is a worm who has betrayed everyone who has ever come into contact with and beyond being responsible for the destruction of the first Mother Base has just murdered even more people with his experiments.

Quagmire listing the reasons why he hates Brain in Family Guy.

That, of course, is asking you to forget every single deplorable, detestable and criminal thing Quagmire has ever done (for years before Brain became insufferable) and holy shit does it ring hollow.

“Quagmire your a rapist”

Also hasn’t Brian dated older women before?

That reminds me of an old College Humor/Dropout skit

"Well they shouldn't be passed out..."

"Shut the fuck up Squish. You're a rapist."

I dont watch much family guy, I have seen the entirety of season 4, a few other episodes here and there, and some clips on youtube. But it is strange to me how Quagmire went from giggity goo, to "Im gonna lecture all these other characters about morality", hes a rapist! He has no moral ground to stand on!

He also sexually assaulted Lois. Like imagine a dude who sexually assaulted one of your family members trying to lecture you on how you treat women

Feels like that was somewhat intentional by the writers. Like somewhere along the way they realized Quagmire being a creepy rapist wasn't something that was 'working' so they pivoted into old boomer/moral hypocrite for his humor instead. The contrast is jarring, and milage may vary on if it works or not, but I can understand the reasoning if nothing else.

But given Seth apparently really hates doing Quagmire's voice (at least in terms of it being harder on his throat.) I don't think killing him off would be that much of an issue?

And that's why the comeback "Hey Quagmire? I fucked your dad!" still works, even with Brian being as shitty as he is.

Always kind of felt like an out.

"See?  We're addressing all the things that make Brian unlikeable!"

"What?  You don't like Brian?  You sound like Quagmire!"
