Jillian remains a fan favorite

Jillian Russell first showed up as a love interest for Brian Griffin (MacFarlane) on Spooner Street in the "Family Guy" Season 5 episode titled "Whistle While Your Wife Works." And even though Jillian has long since moved on with her life, fans still vote for her as Brian's best girlfriend all these years later. "Sweetest girl," Redditor u/STEALTH_Moles posted. "[I] was sad when they broke up."

u/CrazyaboutSpongebob concurred. "She had the most personality." Redditor u/LNERA1 then immediately poked fun at Jillian's — shall we say — lack of intellect: "Yea and that was kinda all she had." When Brian first met Jillian, he went out of his way to hide the fact that they were dating from the rest of the Griffin family for one simple but ridiculous reason: She's a dullard.

But despite Jillian's simple nature, Brian continued to date her because of how attractive she was. "'Brian had sex — with a really dumb girl — now he's taking his friend Stewie — to get some ice cream — in his car,'" u/NoNewPhriends quoted the song Stewie sang to Brian (set to the music of Gary Numan's "Cars") after Jillian slept with Brian. Despite her not being the brightest person around, Jillian still became a larger-than-life recurring character during her relatively short stint on "Family Guy," thanks to Barrymore's performance. And that's likely why fans loved her so much.
