10 Family Guy Episodes That PISSED People Off

10. Peter Griffin: Husband, Father... Brother? (S3E14) 

Most of the episodes on this list have come in the latter half of Family Guy's run as the show found itself relying more and more on offending its audience. This entry from season three however comes much, much earlier.

There was one particular moment in 'Peter Griffin: Husband, Father... Brother?' that ruffled fans' feathers, coming after Stewie spent the episode infiltrating a group of cheerleaders in order to utilise what he thought were their mind control powers.

During a basketball game in which they were to perform, Quagmire stumbled across Cindi in her cheerleader costume, bound and gagged. His response wasn't to help her or to call the police, he instead thought he hit the jackpot. This and the disgusting grin on his face implied that he was about to rape this poor, helpless schoolgirl.

In spite of his womanising, deviant ways, Quagmire proved to be one of the more popular characters in Quahog when the show was first starting out. However, even though fans had come to know him as a gross scumbag, this took his character WAY past what was okay. This moment didn't even pertain to the story on the whole, the writers just included it because they thought it was funny. How wrong they were.
