I’m not all caught up, recently started, I have no idea if I’m supposed to dislike him. Like it feels like I should for some reason, but I don’t at all and he’s great as you said.
Stewie DOES TRY to be Kendall's friend. He tells him again and again, "Dude, just be a rich kid. Stop trying to be a big businessman and just go be a rich guy." But, Kendall can't hear him, and when Kendall gets screwed, he's going to blame Stewie.
Stewie is genuinely upset because Kendall is still a Spoiled Daddy's rich boy. He tried to help Kendall to break his cycle of abuse from Logan. Him and Naomi see that Kendall is totally broken in Season 2 and they know, Logan was the one who control Kendall.
why i love Stewy, he's the only person who doesn't romanticize, distract or lie to themselves about their world. He gets it's just turning $1.00 into a $1.10.
Honestly I always thought about Stewie as just some finance douchebag but this is so true. He will tell you straight to your face “do not have faith in me, do not trust me, I am out here for me and me alone but I will help you if you help me” and that’s more truth than basically anyone else in this fucking show Honestly I think that’s why Logan never likes him is because he can’t just jerk him around like a lost puppy. Stewie will tell him to his face that nobody likes him lol
My head canon is that Stewy is a very well-adjusted and kind person in his personal life but he can just turn on this mode when he needs to deal with the Roys. I'm not sure why I feel this way, he's just extremely charismatic.
Nah, he's a massive shit like the others but doesn't ever pretend to be anything else. That and his self-possession are why he's such a cool character.
I agree....😂😂😂😂😂he's the only one who stands up to Logan and says his mind despite being his children's friends...even the kids are scared of L0gan 🤣🤣🤣🤣but he is unabashed....kind of makes me think is why Logan tolerates his presence and secretly respects him for it😂😂😂😂
Stewy was never trying to be the CEO. Stewy can’t be written out of Logan’s will. If a business colleague doesn’t like you, it’s not the same as your dad not liking you. Logan doesn’t have the same leverage over Stewy that he does his own kids.
As my man Mark Baum (Played by Steve Carrell in The Big Short) said about Jared Vennett.... "You can't hate him. He is so transparent in his self-interest, that I kinda respect him."
He's a great character because he knows the family inside and out but can still be objective. He's one of the few sympathetic people on the show because he's an outsider and can stand in for us and can say "WTF are these people doing."
@@theguyman21 no I think it's fair to say he's sympathetic for a lot of viewers bc he's fun and doesn't technically hurt anyone in a way that matters. He would not be sympathetic irl tho, but literally none of them would be.
I feel like Stewys parents also actually helped him with making buisness decisions and teached him stuff, instead of waiting for him to prove himself like Logan.
It's his fault that the original deal fell through. He knows Kendalls issues with coke and he ploughed him full of cocaine at his most vulnerable moment which lead to Kendall crashing the car and falling back into Logans hands killing the takeover.
Stevie and Caroline's interaction is so minor, but significant at the same time. They're two of the only characters in the series who say exactly what's on their mind without bullshitting, lying to themselves or acting nice to save face (Caroline kind of breaks this mold later but she's still one of the more honest characters generally speaking). He says probably the rudest thing you could possibly say to the mother of the bride at a wedding (calling Shiv a slut) and she immediately likes him for it because it's the truth and he actually had the balls to say it.
@@MrShahid0072 he implies. And it's not entirely fair. She cheats on Tom with like one other guy, but she doesn't exactly sleep around. And it's not even the worst thing she did to him lmao.
favorite moment might be the confused looked he makes at "not good if they're smiling". Even the true disciple of capitalism that stewy is, is taken aback by Wasytars pathological need to be cruel.
There are two cold capitalist reasons to chisel someone out of the TV stations. The first is just rent-seeking (You could have gotten a better price and are just leaving money on the table by not offering a lower price), but the other is adverse selection. Think of buying a used car. If you buy a used car from someone on Craigslist and the the seller smiles when you agree to a deal, what does that tell you? It for sure tells you that you offered more than the minimum he would have accepted. It also tells you that he might know something about the car that you don't that, had you known, you would not have paid the agreed-upon price. So why is the owner of the TV stations so happy to sell his TV stations? What does he know that he's not revealing?
Such an underrated moment. Like even he’s shocked at how petty and vicious Waystar is. He’s just there for the bag and these people are like ‘He should be eviscerated before he gets anything’
Despite he's not working with Logan anymore, he's still addressing Logan as "Sir" showing that he's still respecting him while most of the people calling Logan by his name.
the lines that get me: Stewey: "Your COO is a fucking joke" Roman: "whoa whoa" Stewey: "Bro, that's what people are saying, who cares if its true" LOL.
"This is a family buisness, but the family is fucked and it's hurting stock" Stewy may be a dick sometimes, but he give very clear, punctual comments about what the outcome of all the family infighting is: bad press, bad blood and worst: a loss of money. Ah man and i love when he flips of the Roys with his neglect for theire petty remarks. xD
Funnily enough, just like with almost everyone else in this show, his words contradict his actions, but actually in a good way. He calls himself untrustworthy and morally bankrupt, like a Roy, but there he was, at the end of season one, ready to take Kendall to the top, after having helped him time and time again. And the funniest thing about that is, that was his only mistake, believing in Kendall.
4:12 I love this scene. I think the reason why I like his character so much is that he's so genuine. He can admit he's scared unlike most of them... also his humor doesn't feel forced like Roman.
Another great scene was at the Summit and the stand up comedian comes up and starts bringing up the cruise allegations and Logan walks up and passes Stewy and says "it's funny because it's true" to Logan and all Logan can say is his infamous two liner phrase.
Stewy: T....V... I remember those, we still have it in my gym Logan: It's so great to have the wisdom of my son's college drinking buddy in the room Stewy: I just love the way he asks me for money This show's dialogue is a masterclass on witty insults
“I can promise you that I am spiritually and emotionally and ethically and morally behind whoever wins” is the most honest line in the entire series
he’s incredibly intelligent,, people.. it would scare them if they knew how smart he is
My favorite stewy line in the show
And Kendall still stupidly trust him
I love him for that reason
This line is absolutely iconic.
He’s so good in this show. He’s like if Kendall had 100% more self-awareness.
He is at least twice as smart.

Never has an episode gone by when I didn’t say I wish there was more Stewey.

But, Kendall can't hear him, and when Kendall gets screwed, he's going to blame Stewie.
Well Kendall is richer than ever at the end. Mission accomplished!
Stewie is genuinely upset because Kendall is still a Spoiled Daddy's rich boy. He tried to help Kendall to break his cycle of abuse from Logan. Him and Naomi see that Kendall is totally broken in Season 2 and they know, Logan was the one who control Kendall.
The best of it all is that he’s honest as hell.

@@theprimaryread8081 “you can’t cheat an honest man” is an old adage.
Honest, it doesn’t say anything about a “good” man.
I agree. He was the only one who impressed Caroline when she asked "how long do you give it?"
Stewey calling Sandy an angry vegetable will never not be funny
Belligerent zucchini I mean ffs why even? 😂😂😂
My head canon is that Stewy is a very well-adjusted and kind person in his personal life but he can just turn on this mode when he needs to deal with the Roys. I'm not sure why I feel this way, he's just extremely charismatic.
Agreed.
Yeah I love him
he seems to have his shit together more than anyone else in the show
AGREED SO MUCH
Nah, he's a massive shit like the others but doesn't ever pretend to be anything else. That and his self-possession are why he's such a cool character.
There needs to be a spinoff just following Stewie doing whatever deals he's working on outside Waystar Royco.
I'd actually watch the shit out of that, no joke
An hour of him and Adrien Brody hanging out would be sick
I'd watch it purely for the pep talk he'd have to do before dealing with the Roys. "Ugggggh not these drama queens again. Fuuuuuuck they're so dumb"
Better Call Stewie
@@brendanlittle2498 Yes! I loved Adrien Brody's character!
I loveeeee Stewy what a transparently transactional bastard.
Also the only guy who gets to rough up Logan 😂

Stewy is like Kendall but without any of the insecurities, false bravado, addiction issues, or daddy issues.
So basically nothing like Kendall lol
@@verbalkint4258 Kendall’s polar opposite lol
Which is a funny observation as they introduce him in the series by trying to goad Kendall into doing coke w/ him in a bathroom stall.
He’s Kendall without the same amount of abuse and trauma that has splintered off his ability to have real self confidence and a life.
@@kimberquirky Stewie’s still a card lol.
As my man Mark Baum (Played by Steve Carrell in The Big Short) said about Jared Vennett.... "You can't hate him. He is so transparent in his self-interest, that I kinda respect him."
Man, that is the exact line I thought of when I first saw Stewy.
Everyone is selfish in the end lol they just hide it when you can just be like Jared or Stewy and the transparency is almost a sense of relief
He's a great character because he knows the family inside and out but can still be objective. He's one of the few sympathetic people on the show because he's an outsider and can stand in for us and can say "WTF are these people doing."
I think the characterization of him as sympathetic is a bit of a stretch.

@@ashleysewell5959 Bruh did you even watch the show? Every character is an unlikable trash in your logic
@@beyreli3988 if you say so
I like how Stewey remains respectful of Logan despite trying to take him down.
" logan , for tonight "
It's the Persian way
respect your elders
"Can I trust you?"
"No"
"But like with money stuff?"
"No"
*proceeds to trust him*
My all time favorite Kendall move is when he walks away patting himself on the back from an interaction that absolutely did not go in his favor
Still in the end...he stuck with Kendall more than anybody in his family ever did.
The best of Stewy is basically all of Stewy Hosseini. Even when he's just in the background.
I like that you include scenes in which he has zero lines and just looks hot
should edit the title into “all stewy succession scenes” instead lol
Best part is him shitting on Roman. It’s normally Roman dumping on people but Stewy owns him every time lol
He seems to be the only person who has solid economic and financial training. Ken’s all abt the surface and Logan is abt his gut.
And what’s Roman about?
@@genxx2724 his pee pee
@@genxx2724 His crotch
@@arv9993 hahahahhahahaga oml
@@genxx2724 he’s also gut but now that he’s in corporate daycare he might actually become copybook corporate.
Stewy is like if Kendall (or any Roy children) was raised by parents who weren’t afraid to show him love and admiration whenever it was deserved
I feel like Stewys parents also actually helped him with making buisness decisions and teached him stuff, instead of waiting for him to prove himself like Logan.
He’s the winning version of Kendall
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I agree.....
It’s kind of hilarious how Stewy Consistently tells Kendall not to trust him Over and over but he refuses to listen to his friend giving him an out
He reminds me of a smart, savvy, cutthroat version of Jean Ralphio.
"I can trust you, right?"
"No."
"Sure -- but on money stuff, I can trust you?"
"... No."
felt very Jean Ralphio to me
I respectfully propose a spin-off for Stewy. He hits it outta the park in every damn scene.. which is simply not enough! I need sooo much more stewy!
He’s the most secured and level headed character. He genuine wanted Kendall to succeed and work together but has been burnt. Love him.
It's his fault that the original deal fell through. He knows Kendalls issues with coke and he ploughed him full of cocaine at his most vulnerable moment which lead to Kendall crashing the car and falling back into Logans hands killing the takeover.
he genuinely wanted himself to succeed
He’s also the best dressed character on the show apart from Shiv.
@@lilze Ken’s an adult. He made his choices.

"the truth"
Hope there's enough truth for mansluts (see how that word doesn't exist for a reason)
Does not call her "slut"
Yee he basically calls her a cheating whore not a slut. Let's get that straight
@@MrShahid0072 he implies. And it's not entirely fair. She cheats on Tom with like one other guy, but she doesn't exactly sleep around. And it's not even the worst thing she did to him lmao.
Marcia was the one who called Shiv a slut, not Stewy.
Lol I never trusted him for a second but the truth of the matter is he was 100% transparent the entire time
favorite moment might be the confused looked he makes at "not good if they're smiling". Even the true disciple of capitalism that stewy is, is taken aback by Wasytars pathological need to be cruel.

I have used the “it doesn’t work for us” line twice since that episode and both times, I got what I wanted 🥳
Listen I need the back story to this, I'm way too invested. 😂😂
I wish to see him more in the upcoming seasons. He barely appeared in the last one, and is one of the best characters in a magnificent show
I challenge anyone to find another character in television history who could make the word "pusilanimous" sound as devastatingly insulting as Stewy.
Homer Simpson.
@@woozertoo 😂
Stewy is the most competent character in the show. Endlessly watchable.
Him calling Sandy “the angriest fucking vegetable” killed me.
he made caroline chuckle, that's A LOT
the best man in Succession!
literally. definitely not lacking killer instinct
He needs to be in more scenes in season 3. Especially with Roman
Sex scenes. Lol
The friend we all wish we had but will never deserve.
Despite he's not working with Logan anymore, he's still addressing Logan as "Sir" showing that he's still respecting him while most of the people calling Logan by his name.
His condescension toward Roman is the most hilarious thing he did
The combination of all logan children into one character.... just brilliant.
Without daddy issues
Looking back at it Stewey literally said you can’t trust me and Kendall went on anyway
“Who cares if its true”
Successions tagline
the lines that get me:
Stewey: "Your COO is a fucking joke"
Roman: "whoa whoa"
Stewey: "Bro, that's what people are saying, who cares if its true"
LOL.
Underrated character
"This is a family buisness, but the family is fucked and it's hurting stock" Stewy may be a dick sometimes, but he give very clear, punctual comments about what the outcome of all the family infighting is: bad press, bad blood and worst: a loss of money.

I love how destroys Roman and he cant even come back at him
He is one of the few "real person" in the show
As an Iranian i love how he looks iranian and has an Iranian name and is played by an Iranian actor. Kinda cool
He is Iranian character

he needs to be a main cast hopefully after his recent emmy nomination (possibly in s5 since they’re currently filming s4 now) and gets more screentime
If only he had some coke that one time things would've probably turned out much better for Kendall
I have such a crush on him, since day one
Stewy is so fun to watch in 99% of the scenes he's in
I love how he roasts everybody 🤣 Thats power
1:15 he sticks by this line, despite voting against gojo, he sticks behind mattson as soon as lukas wins the takeover
I can't believe people are saying Stewie is like Kendall without "...". Kendall can't even follow through his own plans
“Can I trust you?”
“No.”
Best Stewy line in the show. And Kendall thinks he’s joking before learning later on that he’s not
Only sane rich guy in this show.
He is the smart version of Roman.
100% the best non-Roy in the show
I wish Stewie and Logan had more dialogue together in the show. Their dynamic is hilarious.
"is this goo? is this delicious fucking goo?"
is somehow one of the funniest bits in the series
Stewy: T....V... I remember those, we still have it in my gym

Stewy: I just love the way he asks me for money
This show's dialogue is a masterclass on witty insults

not if you whats good for you
Reminds me so much of Jason Mantzoukas, who would probably slay in the same role.
