->''"Victory shall be mine!"''
-->-- '''Stewie Griffin'''

''Family Guy'' is a {{Physical Pinball Table|s}} designed by Creator/PatLawlor, programmed by Creator/KeithJohnson, and released by Creator/SternPinball in 2007.

Based on [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy the popular animated show]] by Creator/SethMacFarlane, the ''Family Guy'' pinball game takes players through the memorable misadventures of the [[DysfunctionalFamily dysfunctional Griffin family]]. Fight the crazy monkey in Chris' closet, help Stewie start a Sexy Party, hit Brian's beer can to bring about Happy Hour, and get Peter into a Chicken Fight over a coupon. As you progress, Stewie will get to play his own mini-pinball machine, all part of his plan to take over the world -- starting with ''your'' table. The gameplay is accompanied by numerous voice clips from the show, supplemented with additional dialog by Seth [=MacFarlane=].

''Pinball/{{Shrek}}'' is a reskin of this table.

A modified version of this game appeared on Creator/{{ABC}} Television's ''Good Morning America'' on January 18, 2008, as part of a segment commemorating the 60th Anniversary of {{Pinball}}.[[note]]More accurately, the 60th Anniversary of the electro-mechanical flipper, as debuted on Creator/{{Gottlieb}}'s ''Pinball/HumptyDumpty''[[/note]] The TV Modes were replaced with GMA segments, and the Griffins were swapped out with photos of the show's hosts. The "Good Morning America" pinball machine currently resides in the Green Room of ABC's New York City studio.

!!The ''Family Guy'' pinball demonstrates the following tropes:

* AdjustableCensorship: The game's content levels can be set from "Adult", "Moderate", and "Family." The setting affects the voice clips and animations featured, and alternate labels can be applied to the playfield elements to match. However, even the mildest "Family" level will include some [[ToiletHumour fart jokes]].
%%* ButtMonkey: Meg, as usual.
%%-->'''Stewie:''' "I never thought I'd see Meg ''worth'' something."
* DarkReprise: One of the main theme plays during [[GameWithInAGame "Stewie Pinball"]].
* DialogDuringGameplay: The game has an unusually large amount of voice clips by pinball standards.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Hitting the Death drop-down target shows TheGrimReaper getting hit in the face with a pinball.
-->'''Death:''' "Great! Now the whole world is laughing at me."
%%* DoubleEntendre: It wouldn't be ''Family Guy'' without it.
%%-->'''Quagmire:''' "You must be a flipper, 'cause you can smack my balls around any time!"
* FartsOnFire: During "Fart Multiball", Peter shoots flames out of his rear.
%%* FatIdiot: Chris and Peter. Doubly so during "Lard Multiball", when Peter grows to grotesque size.
* FreakLabAccident: "Super Griffins", where the family gets super powers from toxic waste.
* FrothyMugsOfWater: On milder settings, the beer can is shown on the dot-matrix display as "Root Beer". The game includes a matching label for the beer can on the playfield.
-->'''Peter:''' "I'd like to think of drinking as a talent."
* GottaCatchThemAll: Stewie must get (in more than one sense of the term) the other members of the Griffin family.
%%* TheGrimReaper
%%* ManiacMonkeys: The Evil Monkey in Chris' closet. Hit him repeatedly to start "Crazy Chris" mode.
%%* RayGun: Stewie zaps the letters in PINBALL with one.
* SexComedy: "Sexy Party", where Stewie gets chased around the house by a gaggle of scantily-clad women.
%%* ShowWithinAShow: Stewie's pinball.
* SignatureStyle: Many of Creator/PatLawlor's unique design quirks appear here - more than two flippers (five, if you count Stewie's table), a mini-playfield, and dual inlanes for the left flipper.
* SpellingBonus: On the main playfield, spelling FART repeatedly starts Fart Multiball, while spelling PINBALL enables Stewie's pinball machine. Stewie's pinball has BRIAN, MEG, PETER, LOIS, and CHRIS.
-->'''Stewie:''' "The fat man can spell faster than you!"
* SkillShot: Shoot the "F" in F-A-R-T after launch. Alternately, immediately shoot the ball through the Super Jackpot tunnel for a Super Skill Shot.
* TakeThatAudience: Many voice clips insult the player directly. In just one example, if the player drains during Happy Hour:
-->'''Peter:''' "Only a jackass would leave Happy Hour early."
%%* ToiletHumor: True to the TV show, there's lots of it.
%%-->'''Peter:''' "Milk, milk, lemonade -- around the corner fudge is made!"
%%* VomitIndiscretionShot: "Ipecac Contest", and how.
* WizardMode
** The first sub-Wizard Mode is "TV Wizard", available after completing all five TV Modes. Hit the different Jackpot shots before the Jackpot runs out to score the current value.
** The second sub-Wizard Mode is "Stewie Multiball", which starts after Stewie gets all of the other family members in his pinball game. Play both pinball tables at the same time, collecting each character on both for a chance at the Super Jackpot.
** The Wizard Mode is "Sperm Attack", which can only be reached by playing well in six goals.[[note]]At least 5 Evil Monkey jackpots, 10 Crazy Chris shots, 15 Fart Multiball jackpots, all of the Beer Can awards, getting the Stewie Multiball super jackpot, and scoring 25 million or more in TV Wizard mode.[[/note]] The attack starts on Stewie's mini-pinball, but soon migrates to the main playfield; there are four balls in play, and the player must shoot as many jackpot shots as possible. Truly exceptional players can even restart "Sperm Attack" when only two balls remain, further increasing their jackpot rewards.
