Plot summary [edit]

At his high school reunion, Peter pretends to exist a hugger-mugger agent-astronaut-millionaire who wears a cowboy hat to impress his classmates, but the truth comes out when he meets Tom Brady. He later gets drunkard and has to make a run for the bathroom, knocking over anybody between him and the bathroom. Brady is impressed and gets Peter a spot on the New England Patriots football team as the starting center. Peter is before long fired for showboating in a game versus the Dallas Cowboys, driving on to the field then performing a massively-choreographed version of the song "Shipoopi" after scoring i touchdown. He is traded to the London Airheaded Nannies, who apparently take no inkling on how to play football. Peter decides to turn them effectually and challenges Brady to a game between the Silly Nannies and the Patriots. On the opening get-go, Peter's teammates become terrified of the Patriots rushing toward them and run away, leaving Peter to face up them solitary. He tries and is immediately tackled. However, Brady compliments Peter on having the nerve to stand up to them, having now regained respect for him.

Meanwhile, Stewie becomes a bookie and takes a $50 bet from Brian on a Celebrity Boxing match pitting Mike Tyson against Carol Channing. Brian bets on Tyson and loses, as Channing kept getting upward no affair how many times Tyson knocks her down. Stewie comes to collect, merely Brian laughs him off, so Stewie tells him to accept the money in 24 hours. After 24 hours, Stewie asks for the money owed, but Brian says he does not have information technology and to give him until adjacent Friday. Stewie reveals that he is serious most settling the bet and brutally beats upwardly Brian, breaking his glass of orange juice over his head, beating him with a towel rack, and slamming his head in the toilet. Stewie attacks him on another occasion, using such means as a golf order, shooting him in both knees with a pistol, and a flamethrower to coerce him into paying up. Subsequently this, Brian agrees to pay off the bet. After Stewie'due south bet is satisfied, he offers Brian an opportunity to get one "free revenge shot" to make up for all the torture he caused. Brian accepts the offering, but leaves Stewie in suspense every bit to when the free hit will be delivered, until Stewie is overcome with paranoia and starts beating himself upwardly in an attempt to satisfy Brian. After biding his time and making Stewie worry about what could happen, Brian—while the Griffins are in London, leaving the Patriots-Silly Nannies game—nonchalantly shoves Stewie in forepart of a moving bus.

Production [edit]

Mike Henry wrote the episode.

"Patriot Games" was written by Mike Henry,[two] and directed by Peter Shin, Pete Michels and Cyndi Tang.[iii] The episode aired on January 29, 2006, a calendar week before Super Bowl XL. Extra Carol Channing made a guest appearance as herself in a scene in which Brian loses a $50 bet on a battle match between her and professional person boxer Mike Tyson, though Tyson did not phonation himself. Sportscaster Bob Costas also voiced himself in a brusque scene in which he interviews Peter and Tom Brady. Much of the episode was scripted with Patriots motorcoach Bill Belichick in mind, but Brady was chosen to supercede him. Subsequently numerous requests for Brady to voice himself in the episode, he somewhen agreed. Comedian Jay Leno voiced himself in ii short scenes that show him, respectively, threatening and attempting to kill Brady.

Two scenes in which Stewie brutally beats up Brian using a drinking glass filled with orange juice, various household objects, and guns polarized people who viewed it. Several production members were offended. Cast members—as well as MacFarlane's mother and an animate being rights abet—enjoyed the scene; MacFarlane quoted his mother: "I don't run into what the trouble is? He (Brian) owed him (Stewie) money!", and so it was kept in the last cut. When Lois gives the finger to the photographic camera during the interview with Peter and Brady, her hand was blurred out on Fox airings of the episode. However, reruns on Adult Swim and TBS left the gesture intact.[5] The gesture was also left intact on the DVD of "Volume Iv"; the production team enjoyed having this level of liberty. After the initial airing of the episode, where newscaster Tom Tucker announces a written report on a fictional curse word, clemen, many viewers looked upward the word on the Cyberspace to try to discover a definition. MacFarlane stated in the episode's DVD commentary that if someone invents an obscene definition for the give-and-take, the show will have to stop using it (information technology has non been used since this episode).

In 2009, the bathroom scene was reused for a series of YouTube videos promoting the Primetime Emmy Honour for Outstanding Comedy Serial nominations that Family Guy received for consideration to voters for the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards. In it, Brian considers voting for the fellow nominees—The Part,[half dozen] Flying of the Conchords,[7] Entourage,[8] 30 Rock,[nine] How I Met Your Mother,[10] and Weeds.[xi] In the first 5 videos, Stewie brutally beats up Brian for his different votes, in their respective videos, asking "Where'southward my Emmy man?" and forces him to vote for Family Guy. In the concluding video, when Brian thinks about voting for Weeds, Stewie doesn't shell him up and instead says, "Oh, fuck this. I'm non doing 1 for fucking Weeds," referring to the declining quality of the show within its 4th season.

Cultural references [edit]

The episode features a two.v-infinitesimal rendition of the song "Shipoopi" from the 1957 musical The Music Man, conducted past Peter and performed by the Patriots and people in the stadium.[12] The rendition was directed by Dan Povenmire, who would later become on to co-create Phineas and Ferb with fellow Family Guy worker Jeff "Swampy" Marsh. The original number in The Music Human was performed by around 40 or 50 singers and around 80 other musicians, as estimated by MacFarlane. Family Guy 'southward rendition was recorded by an orchestra non as large as the original's, but 1 of the largest the show has ever used. Another musical number, in which the London Silly Nannies sing while dancing around a maypole, was taken from the Gilbert and Sullivan production The Sorcerer. A visual joke that shows Peter's $xxx,000 wax sculpture of Harriet Tubman "doing" a naked Gwyneth Paltrow originally featured the droid R2-D2 from Star Wars in place of Tubman. MacFarlane is a fan of Star Wars, and its characters are frequently featured in the series' jokes. A spoof drama programme chosen Condensation is shown on BBC Four, which is a BBC channel defended to the arts, civilization and factual programmes. The episode title is taken from the 1987 Tom Clancy novel Patriot Games.

Reception [edit]

"Patriot Games" was watched past 8.45 million viewers, making information technology the 55th nigh-watched program of the week.[1] According to MacFarlane, the episode polarized viewers, who either "hated or loved the violence". Ryan J. Budke from AOL'southward Goggle box Squad gave the episode a positive review, specifically praising the scene in which Stewie beats up Brian. Budke also said that it was "fun" and that you could tell the crew had a good time making it. Overall, he considered it "not a bad episode. The "Shipoopi" scene somewhen became 1 of the nigh popular videos on YouTube."[13] The episode ranked number ane in IGN's Top 10 Musical Moments in the show, for "Shipoopi,"[xiv] and Stewie'southward assault on Brian in the bath was named the 5th greatest fight scene in the prove on another list.[15]
