10 Best Family Guy Characters Only In One Episode
8. Nigel Pinchley
In the Season 3 episode, 'One If by Clam, Two If by Sea', the Quahog crew's favourite haunt, The Drunken Clam, is replaced by a typical British pub called The Clam's Head. Peter and the gang are scared away by the "superior linguistic skills" of the Englishmen who have taken over the place, and from there things only get worse.
Back at the Griffins' house is Nigel Pinchley, the hilariously posh and wonky-teethed owner of the Clam's Head, and his infant daughter, Eliza. While Stewie has his hands full trying to teach Eliza how to drop her abrasive cockney accent, Lois uses Nigel's infatuation with her to trick him into confessing to insurance fraud.
Yes, it turns out that Pinchley burned down his own bar for the £5M insurance money. In true Family Guy tradition, the English stereotype is punished in equally stereotypical fashion: execution via guillotine.
While Eliza could easily have made this list in his place, it's Nigel's textbook smarminess and brilliantly exaggerated accent that make the viewers wish he hadn't met his end so quickly.
