Instead of going to his physical, Peter goes out with Brian, Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe to eat steaks. When Lois finds out, she takes him to the doctor herself. Dr. Hartman pronounces him healthy, but fat. Peter takes this badly, even accidentally smashing a picture of Lois' family. Trying to salvage it, Lois discovers another child in the picture: a boy. She telephones her father Carter, who tells her she doesn't take a brother and chop-chop terminates the call, but she persists: she breaks into her parents' house. She finally learns that her brother Patrick has been living in a mental infirmary for decades, ever since he suffered a nervous breakup as a immature kid, upon walking in on his mother having an thing with Jackie Gleason.
Meanwhile, Peter announces to the family that he is fatty and decides to create the "National Clan for the Advancement of Fat People" (NAAFP). Peter hosts the first meeting of the association, but it is unsuccessful due to those attending were making likewise much noise, such as breathing heavily, farting, and munching junk food the entire manner through.
Believing Patrick to be sane, Lois authorizes his release, and arranges for Patrick to stay with the family unit. Patrick soon announces he has a wife, Marion, although she is imaginary and nobody else other than him tin can see her. This leads Brian and Stewie to believe he is crazy. Lois attempts to overlook the evidence, and instead tries to persuade Peter not to encourage people to exist fatty. After Peter unintentionally frightens Patrick by dressing up like Ralph Kramden and repeatedly using i of Kramden's catchphrases "Pow, right in the kisser!" which brings dorsum memories of Gleason telling him to go out. This triggers Patrick to start killing fatty people.
Lois' male parent, Carter, calls her and tells her how fierce Patrick is, but she assures him Patrick is safe, although she becomes worried later on seeing on the news that a fatty man has been murdered. Lois remains in denial every bit more murders are committed, fifty-fifty though Brian tries to convince her that Patrick is the killer.
Peter brings the fat men back to his home to protect them, only after learning from Brian that Patrick is the killer, a hunt between the fat men and Patrick ensues. Brian, yet at the house, shows Patrick'due south room to Lois, where several of his victims are either deceased or had been left for dead, and photographic bear witness of Patrick killing them. Lois continues to brand exaggerated excuses, still wanting to believe her brother is a overnice person, only ultimately she snaps out of her denial and realizes that Patrick is a threat. Lois and Brian pursue Patrick and Peter into the woods, where Patrick is strangling Peter. Patrick quickly releases Peter after Lois threatens to stab Marion, his imaginary wife. Patrick apologizes, telling Lois that he never meant to hurt her, and the 2 agree he should be sent back to the mental hospital, where Lois and the family plan to visit him in one case a month.
Cultural references [edit]
The episode'southward premise (a pleasant uncle revealed to be a strangler) is similar to that of Alfred Hitchcock's film Shadow of a Doubt. Patrick was traumatized equally a kid by Jackie Gleason after seeing him seduce his mother, Barbara, in front of him.[4] While at the mental infirmary, Stewie makes a reference to the movie Sling Blade.[ citation needed ] Brian makes a reference to season-three Family Guy episode "To Love and Dice in Dixie".[4] Lois is shown watching the game show The Price Is Right.[iv] The cavemen who "invented singing" initially grunt "Mary Had A Little Lamb" before apace evolving into an a cappella version of Baton Joel's "The Longest Time."
Production [edit]
The origins of the episode and the character of Patrick began when Robert Downey, Jr. telephoned the bear witness product staff and asked if he could produce or assist in an episode cosmos, as his son is a fan of the show, so the producers came upward with the graphic symbol of Patrick for Downey.[five] Show producer Seth MacFarlane believes Downey "did a bang-up task," and brought a "very kind of half crazy, and maybe just eccentric personality to that character that actually worked out great."[iv] When Patrick makes his second appearance in season 10's "Killer Queen", he is non voiced by Downey. Instead, he is voiced by Oliver Vaquer. Bob Barker voiced himself presenting The Price Is Right;[four] only the actual sequence took years to make.[5] Barker has provided his phonation for the show twice, although MacFarlane has never met him.[four] John Veiner voiced Bobby McFerrin falling down a flight of stairs.[five] The ball-in-a-cup scene is commented upon by MacFarlane, where he states that "the phonation-overs work, the drawings piece of work" and that Walter Potato "did a not bad task of creating a piece of deliberately annoying music."[4] Several jokes had been pitched for Peter's words after killing an evil dragon, but all were dropped, equally they weren't deemed funny enough past production staff.[five] [6]
MacFarlane notes that he was surprised they were allowed to do the pickle gag, which consisted of Stewie placing a cucumber on the sofa where Patrick's imaginary wife is sitting, only inserting information technology into her imaginary vagina (to see if it would turn into a pickle),[4] but suggests that maybe dissemination standards did non fully understand the scene.[v] The music vocal by the overweight people at a funeral for a murdered obese man was only shown on the DVD version and not televised, for timing purposes,[6] and for potential boredom to viewers.[4] [6] The musical limerick was recorded at Fox studios on the Gary Numan stage.[4] [6] George W. Bush is portrayed hiding in a tree house and being informed by Brian of Hurricane Katrina. Bush was offered the opportunity to voice himself, simply declined.[5]
A deleted scene had been made which showed the family traveling on lath an airplane on which Peter, rather than using the airplane toilet as "he is too fat to get out of his seat,"[4] urinates in his seat, only unknowingly urinates on Brian in the process, as he is in a dog cage below Peter's seat. If this scene had been used in the episode, information technology was intended for Brian, later on throwing a rock aimed at Peter's head, to say "that'south for pissing on me!"[4] [five]
Reception [edit]
In a review of the episode, TV Squad commented positively most the storyline, noting that "Unlike The Simpsons tonight, Family Guy really did work their 2 storylines together. Their commencement big one, was about Peter'due south always increasing weight trouble. He skips out on going to his physical, so that he and Brian can become meet the guys at an all-you-can-eat steak eating place."[7] In a review of Family Guy, Volume four, Nancy Basile regards "The Fat Guy Strangler" as one of her favorite episodes, as well as "PTV."[8] Basile moves on to comment that "Being prejudiced against fat people simply isn't talked virtually, merely this episode sheds a harsh light on that trouble. At times the episode tries to show people who are fat equally being victims of unfair bias, but other times just out and out makes fun of them."[8]
