80's Guy

Episode 4 of Family Guy season 20 (S20E04), the 373rd Family Guy episode overall. Written by Patrick Meighan and directed by John Holmquist. First broadcast on 17 October 2021.

Story

Peter lends Chris a stack of 1980s films as a guide to impressing a girl. The advice lands Chris in trouble with the police, and the family tell Peter that the decade's attitudes have dated badly. He sets out to defend it, then loses faith after killing the gopher from Caddyshack. Distraught, he is talked round by the programme's ghost of John Hughes, who casts the decade as a time of experiment. Elsewhere, Stewie and Doug race to the top of a climbing frame for a frisbee. Stewie wins but gets his foot stuck, and Doug's offer of help turns out to be a ploy to take the frisbee and the glory. Both fall, and by the time they agree to share the credit the children they meant to impress have gone. The two settle on friendship.
