Brian's speech patterns are interesting. Occasionally he has these little flights of unusually formal phrasing. Like "Fortunately for me, the lad's a genius." (Rather than something more like "the kid's fucking smart".) Or his addressing Ted as "Theodore". Or "I'll be around to provide the masculine influence so important in a young boy's life".
So that phrase kind of grew out of that awareness of Brian's little foible. If that makes sense.
