Recap / Family Guy S 15 E 18 The Peter Principal

Go To

When Peter temporarily becomes the high school principal (after Principal Shepard has a mental breakdown over his wife divorcing him), Meg sees his power as an opportunity to get back at her bullies. Meanwhile, Brian and Stewie open up a bed and breakfast...then turn it into a brothel after noticing that their only customers are johns and hookers.

Examples:

  • The Dog Bites Back: The hookers turn on Brian and Stewie, taking over the house and intending to keep all the money for themselves, threatening to kill the pair if they try anything. Stewie responds by dialing 911 and reporting a brothel. He and Brian then settle in on a bench across the street to watch the hookers get arrested.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Stewie and Brian call the cops on the brothel women after they get kicked out
  • Papa Wolf: When a jock splashes Meg with grape juice, Peter threatens to knock the guy's teeth out and then forces him to lick the juice off the floor.
  • Pun-Based Title: The episode's title is a pun based on The Peter Principle.
  • Shout-Out: Brian recalls working the Night's Watch and repeatedly getting stabbed. Peter appears and refers to himself as "the boring storyline of the fat guy that's watching that girl.
  • Take That!: In the Night's Watch cutaway, Chris appears saying, "And I'm Ballers." He is immediately and aggressively stabbed repeatedly. He admits that this is the appropriate response.
  • Threat Backfire: See The Dog Bites Back.
  • Transparent Closet: How Brian refers to George Takei before he came out. The resulting cutaway is all him going on at length about how he's straight.
