The Family Guy Character Who Has Never Actually Been Seen

Redditor u/Some_Aside6292 is craving information about Gary, Glenn Quagmire's (Seth MacFarlane) brother. "Glenn has mentioned him a number of times, but he has yet to appear on screen," they point out. The majority of fans replying to the thread have taken a decidedly cheeky tack in answering u/Some_Aside6292. But some fans did respond thoughtfully to the notion of seeing Gary in the flesh. 

"[T]hey mentioned Quagmires sister and then she appeared in the next season, they might be keeping a Gary story in the back pocket," said u/abundanceofb. They added that it's possible the show's writing staff didn't want to overextend themselves. The subreddit's members harkened other little-seen characters to mind. "I still wanna know what happened to Lois' Sister Carol's baby boy," said u/TheCewwwn. The infant hasn't been seen onscreen since they were born, though Carol has popped up in occasionally and even married Mayor West (Adam West) before his death. Two members jokingly suggested that Gary's already on the show's radar. "Plot twist — it's the greased up deaf guy," said u/Chromattix, a notion u/eggtada agreed with.

"My first thought was Sleepy Gary from that episode of Rick & Morty. But we all know what happened to that guy," said u/TheTattooOnR2D2sFace. For those not in the know, the character was an alien parasite who invaded the Smith family and helped cause chaos in the household but was ultimately killed, in spite of his initial apparent niceness and harmlessness. "Ask Seth," said the more practical u/Wurre666, which caused other members of the subreddit to point out that MacFarlane is busy with other projects these days, such as "The Orville" and a new "Ted" TV series.
