Recap / Family Guy S 20 E 18 Girlfriend Eh

Go To

Peter and Chris take a road trip to Canada to prove the existence of Chris' girlfriend, while Lois and Meg compete for the attention of a handsome handyman.

Tropes:

  • Abusive Parents: Peter is not only skeptical of Chris' girlfriend, he openly mocks the notion of Chris being able to ever get a girlfriend because he sees Chris as a "fat loser". This drives Chris to tears.
  • The Art of Bra Removal: Peter questions Chris's knowledge of this. When Chris responds "You just start blindly tugging until they sigh and do it themselves," Peter considers this the correct answer.
  • Crush Filter: Lois does this when she first sees the handyman.
  • Double Entendre: Jamie the handyman keeps doing these, especially his use of "caulk."
  • Girlfriend in Canada: Literally. Chris announces that he has a Canadian girlfriend, Peter thinks he made her up, so he and Chris drive to Canada to prove she's real.
  • High-Voltage Death: Jamie (the handsome handyman that Lois and Meg were fighting over) ends up getting flung into some power lines by the duo's antics and electrocuted to death.
  • Overly Long Gag: Jamie's death sees him bounce between two power lines for several seconds and then get run over by a truck.
  • Real After All: Chris's girlfriend, who goes by the name of Jennifaire, turns out to actually exist.
  • Take That!: One of the gags involves the fictional Pixar film Sweaters while taking a swipe at Pixar's declining quality.
  • Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Chris discusses this while at the strip club with Peter after Peter insists he and Lois are about on the same level.
  • Urban Legends: A Cutaway Gag references the Richard Gere gerbil urban legend.
