5In this ''Family Guy'' spin on the movie ''Film/{{Taken}}'', Meg and her friends go on vacation overseas, but when Meg gets abducted in order to be put on the sex slave market, it's up to Brian, Stewie, and their particular set of skills to rescue her.
6
7!!"Leggo My Meg-O" contains examples of ([[YMMV/FamilyGuyS10E20LeggoMyMegO YMMV goes here]]):
8
9* AesopAmnesia: Connie still bullies Meg (this time by having everyone throw dodgeballs at her in gym class). Despite Connie receiving a brutal TheReasonYouSuckSpeech from Brian in "Barely Legal" and (temporarily) losing her popularity after Chris dumped her in "We Love You, Conrad", she hasn't changed her bullying ways one bit.
10* AffectionateParody: Complete with lots of LampshadeHanging.
11* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite returning to being {{Jerkass}}es at the end of the episode Peter and Lois seem genuinely concerned for Meg when she's kidnapped.
12* ComedicSociopathy: Brian gets high on adrenaline after gunning down two {{Mooks}} and shoots a server on a passing boat [[ItAmusedMe just for fun.]] Ironically, this random act of murder saves him later when he gets cornered and the other boat turns around and shoots the guy about to kill him as "payback".
13* CreepyGymCoach: Meg's gym teacher makes the girls kiss him (on the lips) before leaving at the end of class.
14* DisguisedHostageGambit: Brian and Stewie dress up as an Arabian businessman and a new victim respectively to infiltrate the auction. Unfortunately, Brian is forced to buy Stewie to stop him being sold off.
15* DodgeballIsHell: The episode starts with all the kids in Meg's high school ganging up on her in a game of dodgeball.
16* GenreBlindness: Peter's advice to Meg includes: "Pay no attention to detail ... and hide under the bed but leave your feet sticking out".
17* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Lampshaded by the Arab guard who Stewie and Brain easily overpower by freeing themselves from the pipes, saying they have a jail cell to put prisoners in.
18-->'''Arab Guard:''' We have a jail cell. [[IgnoredExpert I]] always tell them, "Put the prisoners in the jail cell," but they always say, [[ContractualGenreBlindness "Just chain 'em up to a pipe."]] Idiots.
19* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Stewie does this to Meg.
20* ObviousStuntDouble: The last command on "car chase GPS".
21* PaletteSwap: Ruth's clothes are slightly different in this episode, for some reason.
22* PetTheDog:
23** Brian and Stewie head to Europe and rescue Meg.
24** A minor one, but Connie DID include the disabled girl in [[ExactWords picking everyone]] during dodgeball expect Meg.
25* PintSizedPowerhouse: Stewie has no problem fighting off large amounts of sex slavers.
26* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: The two don't trouble themselves to save any of the other kidnapped girls, even as one begs for their help. Not to mention poor Ruth...
27* SexSlave: Meg and Ruth are victims of this. Meg is sold to a handsome Arabian prince who wants to propose marriage, before Brian and Stewie step in. They also manage to rescue Ruth too, but not before her tongue is ripped out. (Fortunately, this show makes good use of the ResetButton.)
28* TongueTrauma: What happened to Meg's friend Ruth...
29* WholePlotReference: The plot is a reference to ''Film/{{Taken}}''.
30* YankTheDogsChain: Just when it looks like Meg is about to live a happy life with a kind and handsome Arab prince, that opportunity is taken away from her in a flash, poor Meg.
