“Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington”
Season 3, Episode 3 (2001)
When Peter’s toy company is bought by a tobacco company, he confronts his new bosses about their new toy designs that are clearly meant to market cigarettes to children. In an effort to keep Peter quiet, the new owners promote him and give him the job as the CEO of the company, which comes with an array of perks. The company soon realizes that Peter is the perfect puppet for them to do their bidding and eventually send him to Washington to speak to Congress about a new bill.
Family Guy has a habit of spoofing classic movies and Season 3, episode 3, “Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington,” is an obvious parody of Frank Capra‘s Mr. Smith Goes to Washington starring James Stewart. While the concept is far from Capra’s plot, it does follow the same premise of people in positions of power taking advantage of those who are naive about their end game and have a welcoming image that resonates with the public.
