Everything about Deep Throats totally explained
“Deep Throats” is the twenty-third episode of season four of
Family Guy. It was written by
Alex Borstein and directed by
Greg Colton. Appalled at parking charges introduced by
Mayor West,
Brian decides to expose the corruption of the Mayor, despite the prospect of potentially destroying
Meg's new career as the Mayor's intern. Meanwhile, Peter and Lois decide to participate in the Quahog community talent show with a
folk singing act, as they did in the 1960s, but the couple become largely reliant on
marijuana for inspiration, but eventually fail the competition for their poor performance, despite their beliefs they were singing well when under the influence of the drugs.
Plot
Meg is employed as an intern on
Mayor West. The family are impressed by this news, but
Brian feels pressured as he's becoming the "new Meg" due to him not having a job. Brian decides to become a
taxicab driver, but soon becomes intent on exposing the corruption of Mayor West after receiving a
$400 parking ticket. After discussing his corruption beliefs with Meg, she argues that he's a nice person and that he should drop it.
Stewie, after learning of Brian's intentions to expose Mayor West, decides to go with Brian and assist him. After meeting an informant in a parking lot, Brian discovers where Mayor West will be on the night, and follows him to a motel with Stewie.
They arrive at a motel, they spy on West through the wall, and discover he's involved in a relationship with Meg. Seeing this relationship as an ideal opportunity to take West down, Brian photographs the two together in romantic scenes, threatening to release them to Meg. After Meg finds out about this, she confronts West, who says he and Meg should separate due to the negative media images which will follow if Brian does release the images. After secretly witnessing their talk about the images, Brian realizes he's made a mistake and Mayor West isn't as bad as he thought, and subsequently destroys the images, and later apologizes to Meg
Meanwhile, Peter and Lois decide to participate in a community
talent show with a
folk-singing act they always used to do back in the
1960s. They are having a hard time, however, at writing new songs and start to smoke
marijuana, thinking it'll provide inspiration. Peter and Lois begin to behave bizarrely in their high state, which greatly disturbs the family. At the show, they initially appear to wow the entire crowd with their performance, but it later turns out that they blundered horribly and lost.
Chris, who was in the audience at the show, explains that they were completely oblivious to this fact in their high state and thought they were singing well. Peter and Lois are deeply ashamed of themselves, so Chris decides to lecture them about the effects of marijuana.
Production
It was originally intended for
Mayor West to beat Meg up when she's applying for a job within his office, but the scene was never used. The clay cars sketch wasn't animated by the regular show producers, rather it was drawn by Eileen Colehep, a woman who attended college with show producer
Seth MacFarlane. The voice of
Bruce the performance artist was performed by
Mike Henry, and was originally scheduled to last longer, but it was reduced for unknown reasons.
Peter singing "
Carol of the Bells" was shortened for the televised version of the episode, with an extended version on the DVD.
