A Fistful of Meg is the fourth episode of the twelfth season and the
214th overall episode of the animated comedy series Family Guy. It
aired on Fox in the United States and Canada on November 10, 2013, and
is written by Dominic Bianchi and Joe Vaux and directed by Joe Vaux.
In the episode, Meg tries to get out of a fight with a tough bully
while Brian retaliates against Peter for posing naked.At school, Meg
hears about a new student named Mike Pulaski from her friends,
mentioning that he is an unstable bully, which Meg gets to see
firsthand when he turns Neil Goldman into a balloon animal and pops
him. While in the cafeteria with her friends, Meg accidentally spills
her lunch on Mike, prompting him to plan a showdown with her on the
coming Friday. Meg unsuccessfully tries to get out of the fight first
by asking Lois to transfer her to another school. The school in mind
is too expensive. The next day at school, Principal Shepherd announces
on the PA that he is accepting bets on who will win the showdown. For
her second attempt to get out of the fight, Meg intentionally released
a sex tape in an attempt to get expelled from school. It is only
watched by Stewie. Finally, Meg pays four of the toughest jocks in
school to beat up Mike for $1,000. Mike grievously beats them all and
writes "You're Next, Meg" on a hallway wall in their blood. Meg goes
crying to the bathroom where her friends decide to abandon her for
their own safety. While crying, Quagmire calls her into one of the
stalls that serve as his "base of operations" and admits to Meg that
he had been bullied by a girl named Tracey Bellings as a teenager over
preferring RC Cola during the cola wars. She then forced him into a
long and sexually abusive relationship. His reasons for helping Meg is
because he never stood up to his bully, and doesn't want Meg to go
through the same thing. After extensive training with Quagmire, Meg
faces Mike at school on Friday. Initially getting beaten up where some
of the punches to Meg's face causes it to switch between her normal
face (which is considered the ugly one) and the beautiful face, Meg
decides to kiss Mike grossing him out. Meg then further grosses him
out by popping a pimple onto him before finally lifting up her shirt
in front of Mike, while everyone else looks away. Mike, however, does
not look away, and is gruesomely melted, similar to what happened to
Major Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Although Quagmire tells Meg
that she will be alive to tell the story for a "long time," Meg
reveals in a narration that she dies a year later from septic shock
due to her body reacting to a frozen hot dog.Meanwhile, Peter casually
starts taking his clothes off in front of Brian while talking to him
about the Three Little Pigs as he sometimes prefers sleeping nude.
Brian is disgusted by it, although Peter points out that Brian himself
is typically nude, and claims that everyone undresses in front of
their dogs. After another encounter with Brian in the bathroom nude
after he has just finished showering, Peter realizes that Brian
doesn't like to see him nude and starts harassing him in the nude
including using Lois in a bait-and-switch tactic and even cutting off
his own penis and mailing it to Brian in a package (though Peter
collapsed from a lack of blood). After constant in-the-nude harassment
from Peter, Brian decides he can't bear it anymore. At Stewie's
suggestion, Brian decides to shave all of his fur off to give Peter a
taste of his own medicine. After falling into Brian's trap, Peter is
shocked at seeing Brian hairless, wrinkled, and with six nipples.
Brian is very affectionate to Peter scaring him even when he asked why
Brian has six nipples. Too scared at what he has seen, Peter agrees to
wear clothes at all times in front of Brian, having learnt his lesson
the hard way. Although Stewie's idea worked, Brian's fur won't grow
back for three months. In the meantime, Stewie allows him to wear a
pair of his own clothes in the interim to keep warm.Eric Thurm of The
A.V. Club gave the episode a D, saying "Pretty much the only saving
grace in “A Fistful Of Meg†is the B-story, in which Brian can’t
escape Peter’s nudity. There’s not enough here to sustain a whole
episode (though I guess this is Family Guy, so maybe there is?), but
Peter’s increasingly elaborate ways of getting Brian to look at his
junk were pretty funny comedic escalation. And Brian’s final
revenge, shaving off his hair until he becomes a horrible, wrinkled,
multi-nippled thing was equally funny and kind of nauseating. The
jokes in this plot (and some of the cutaways and throwaway lines)
aren’t half bad, but for the most part, the terribleness of the Meg
stuff makes it really hard to take the other, funnier bits out of
context to boost the standing of the episode. I feel like Mike
Pulaski: It’s kind of hard to pay attention to anything else when
there’s unholy, face-melting awful staring right at you." A Fistful of Meg Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
