20 Best Family Guy Episodes

10. Airport '07

A real classic episode in which we have a fantastic main story, as well as a pretty brilliant plot set-up. It all starts when Peter decides to become a redneck, prompting him to come on to Meg, spit tobacco on the floor and eventually paint a graphic picture on his back windshield, leading him to crash into Quagmire's car. He then drives Quagmire to work and gets the idea that he could siphon jet fuel from the plane in order to fly his pickup truck, an idea only Peter could actually come up with, and one that is followed by an excellent nod to Top Gun. Obviously, it doesn't work, Quagmire loses his job, and comes to live with the Griffins, where he exhibits some of classic inappropriate sexual behaviour. Eventually the guys plot to get Quagmire his job back, although that goes a little awry too. There's plenty of "Airplane!" references here, as well as some great mocking of "Last Holiday" and some classic Quagmire sex quotes, with a guest appearance from Hugh Hefner. A barrage of jokes, some truly disturbing moments, and the usual amount of film and TV references in there too. Good times.
