Meg and Quagmire (also known as Quagmire and Meg) is the tenth episode of the tenth season of Family Guy. It originally aired on January 8, 2012.
Plot
Quagmire kindles a relationship with Meg when she turns eighteen. Although Peter tries to keep his perverted friend away from his daughter, Lois does not believe anything will happen at first.
Why Meg and Quagmire Should Break Up
- Quagmire is at his absolute worst in this episode alongside "Bri-Da" as he starts dating Meg only to sleep with her, thus betraying his friendship with Peter and with the stupid excuse of that "she's legal so it's ok". It doesn't help to the fact that Quagmire had been planning to go after Meg once she hit 18. That's not just perverted, but it's just too close to pedophilia since he's apparently 61 years old.
- A random flatulence joke involving Quagmire tickling Meg which causes her to fart.
- The scene where the family looks at a stock footage of Bigfoot is dumb and pointless.
- Not only is Quagmire unlikable in this episode, but all of the characters except for Peter are unlikeable as well.
- Lois and Meg are just as awful as Quagmire.
- Meg keeps on saying that she's 18 so she can excuse her actions.
- Lois allows Meg to go with Quagmire despite Peter's warnings and acts like it's not a big deal.
- She even tells Peter to not push into Meg and Quagmire's relationship, then has the audacity to yell at him when he follows what she had told him to do. Though, to be fair, Lois does eventually regret allowing Meg to go out with Quagmire as she and Peter protect her from Quagmire in the end.
- Janine's boss is also unlikeable as he makes her sad by telling her to take her job seriously.
- Lois and Meg are just as awful as Quagmire.
- There are some very disturbing scenes where a bunch of girls inflict gruesome injuries on themselves after the Teen Choice Awards lineup is announced, which include punching and bashing their faces on the floor until their teeth and noses get broken, pulling out their hair, removing their eyeballs by their sockets, and giving birth to a baby and then twirling him around while still attached to her umbilical cords; however, in the DVD version, this was replaced with the girl peeing, along with Wilford Brimley killing the band boys and the audience in the DVD version.
- The host of Teen Choice Awards "Wavy Hair Douchedon" character design looks really weird and out of place, also he has no visible eyes.
- Additionally, it has no connections to the plot of the episode.
- Animation errors: The girl that gave birth to a baby, right when she's about to twirl him around, two other girls can be seen teleporting out of nowhere in the background.
- Missed opportunities: This would've been a good chance to write Quagmire off the show because there's no way in hell that you would still be friends with someone that tried to take advantage of your daughter.
Redeeming Qualities
- The unfinished road fourth wall visual gag was funny, as well as Chris turning into stone after seeing a Joan Van Ark "after" photograph.
- Decent ending: Peter and Lois caught Meg and Quagmire for trying to have sex, and Peter tells Meg to get in the car; she refuses and points out that she was 18, but Peter stands up for Meg and states that he's still her father no matter what age she is; at home, Meg thanks her parents for not allowing her to make a mistake with Quagmire.
- Quagmire also got his comeuppance by Lois confronting him and threatens to cut his "thing" off and feed it to Brian.
- Despite him dictating Meg's life, Peter is surprisingly likable in this episode. He actually cares about Meg and even stands up for her in this episode, and he isn’t flanderized like he usually is.
- Despite the Teen Choice Awards scene at the beginning being disturbing (mostly due to the scene where a bunch of girls inflict gruesome injuries on themselves) it is an accurate protayal of how most of Modern Teen Choice Awards since 2010s is, additionally the scene where the band sings "Ugh, feelings" is funny.
Reception
Despite it was poorly received and being controversial, Meg and Quagmire has a rating 7.2/10 on IMDb.
