3. The Shawshank Redemption
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9uiVvFjOZc The Shawshank Redemption has been paid homage to at various stages throughout Family Guy's run, with episodes such as "Play It Again, Brian", "Sibling Rivalry", "Model Misbehavior" and "Three Kings" referencing the classic 1994 film. In the latter of those episodes, which not only parodies the Shawshank Redemption but also 'Stand By Me' and 'Misery' in a three-part mini story, Peter Griffin plays Andrew Dufresne, Cleveland Ellis Redding, Seamus Byron Hadley and Carter Warden Samuel Norton - all characters from Stephen King's original work in a terrific episode which lampoons the drama film wonderfully.
