Honestly, we're still confused about that 15 seasons later. We always get a kick out of the closing scene, where a futuristic classroom finishes learning about the story of Petoria, with their only question being whether the Griffin family can understand Stewie. This is also a case where the ending really ties the whole episode together. We got to see Peter make friends with the world's worst dictators and tyrants, annex Joe's pool and even bust out a catchy musical number in the form of "Can't Touch Me." And for an episode so old that Bill Clinton is still depicted as US president, the political humor feels surprisingly relevant even today. Here, Peter seized upon a clerical error that allowed him to secede from the United States and become ruler of his own tiny nation, Petoria. And like so many great Family Guy adventures, it all boiled down to Peter chasing one of his flights of fancy. Peterbus Unum" marked one of the earliest points where Family Guy seemed to find its voice and become more than just a Simpsons clone. Between a well-placed jab at the Baldwin family and some wonderfully awkward Lois/Brian moments, this simple premise really paid off. Who else but Quagmire?īalancing out the Quagmire storyline is an equally amusing look at Lois' futile attempt at weaning Stewie off of breastfeeding.
Case in point - his morbid request to Death. They also show a much darker side of Glenn Quagmire. His rapidly escalating attempts to end the relationship are hilarious. Naturally, it isn't long before Quagmire gets back in touch with his inner bachelor and tried to break off his engagement by any means necessary. From there, though, Quagmire takes center stage as he falls in love with Peter's overworked new maid and decides to settle down.

This episode fires on a number of cylinders, beginning with an entertaining Peter storyline that involves Quahog's dumbest inhabitant winning free maid service after an improbably Wheel of Fortune victory. Now I know how Alec Baldwin feels when he feeds his brothers." Breast-feeding's just so painful since Stewie's teeth are coming in. Brian and Stewie learned the lesson so many time-travelling adventurers have before them - you mess with the timeline at your own peril. Luckily, it veered in some pretty crazy directions once Brian warned his past self about the 9/11 attacks and history took a serious left turn at Albuquerque. If that were all we got out of this episode, that might not have been enough to make this list. This allowed the show to become even more self-aware and self-deprecating than usual, poking fun at the extremely dated animation quality and unrefined humor of Season 1.

The Dynamic Duo found themselves travelling back to the Family Guy series premiere. While Brian and Stewie's road trip adventures were nothing new by the time "Back to the Pilot" rolled around, this episode managed to put a clever spin on an old formula. Cookie Monster could have invented Facebook." Mexico could be the world's dominant super power. Who knows what unforeseen consequences are awaiting us? Saddam Hussein could be president. And given how often Gibson has had public meltdowns in the years since, this episode has only become more appropriate. Rarely has a celebrity been more successfully lampooned on the show. In the end, Gibson is destroyed by his own hubris. Desperate to reclaim his stolen reel of The Passion of the Christ 2: Crucify This, Gibson kidnaps Lois and drags Peter through a Hitchcock-inspired thrill ride.
But the real fun in this episode comes from Peter's war against Mel Gibson. It's funny to see the two quickly settle into the role of a quiet, suburban married couple and do all the things parents do, like planting cocaine in the school locker of Chris' upside down-faced nemesis, Jake Tucker. Much of the show's best material comes from the Brian/Stewie pairing (a fact that will be reiterated many times on this list), and this episode is no exception. After poking fun at their own cancellation in the opening moments, the writers launched right into a new adventure that saw Peter and Lois take a romantic vacation to rekindle their marriage while Brian and Stewie babysat Chris and Meg back home. The show didn't seem to miss a beat, luckily. "Christians don't believe in gravity.""North by North Quahog" marked Family Guy's big return to FOX after several years of slumming it on Cartoon Network and racking up DVD sales.
