20 Best Family Guy Episodes

19. No Meals On Wheels

In this episode, Peter and Lois come into some money, which they use to open a restaurant called "Big Pete's House Of Munch." All seems to go well for a while, until Joe and his fellow wheelchair bound buddies start to use the restaurant, much to Peter's chagrin, as he doesn't see the paraplegics as fitting in with the cool image he wants for his place. There are big laughs from the off here, with Peter buying a flannel pyjama set to wear instead of a suit, and creating a superhero named "Electric man" when he realises he can give people electric shocks using the static from the carpet. It's a well worked story, making this a hilarious introduction to form the main plot of the episode. There are some great gags here, mostly revolving around Peter mocking Joe for being disabled. When he calls him and his cop buddies "Parallelograms" it's fantastic, and the final fight involving the group of wheelchair using cops forming "The Crippletron" to fight Peter and Stewie is a wonderful closer to a truly offensive episode.
