"McStroke" is the eighth episode of season six of the Fox animated comedy series ''Family Guy''. The episode follows Peter as he saves the life of the owner of a fast-food restaurant and the owner gives him a lifetime supply of free burgers. After eating 30 burgers in a row Peter suffers a massive stroke and tries to take revenge on the restaurant. The episode was written by Wellesley Wild and it was directed by Brian Iles. This is one of the episodes that did not have show creator Seth MacFarlane's work in post-production because he was participating in the Writers Guild of America strike. The episode guest starred Max Burkholder, Denis Martel and Ricardo Montalbán. Recurring voice actors Alex Breckenridge, Phil LaMarr, Ralph Garman, Mark Hentemann, Danny Smith, Alec Sulkin, Lisa Wilhoit and John Viener also made appearances. It received mixed reviews from critics. ==Plot summary== Peter Griffin starts collecting Cleveland Brown's mail while he is away ("black guy mail," as Peter calls it). After looking through one of Cleveland's magazines, Peter decides to grow a mustache. Peter sees McBurgertown on fire, to which he says "With great mustache comes great responsibility." Peter runs inside of the burning fast food joint and rescues the owner/manager from the fire, but Peter is devastated to find out that his mustache was torched in the fire. When Peter is back at home, the manager of McBurgertown shows up at his door to offer Peter a lifetime supply of free food as a way of thanking him for saving his life. While at the grand re-opening of McBurgertown with Peter ingesting his free burgers to take his mind off losing his mustache, Peter suffers a massive stroke that paralyzes the left half of his body. Peter is unhappy about the pace of his recovery, so he walks inside of a stem cell research center; he is cured of his stroke in only five minutes. Peter then tries to sue McBurgertown because of his stroke (although Brian points out that it was Peter's own fault due to his eating so many burgers), but instantly loses the trial because the company has more lawyers than he does, and because his side presented no evidence that McBurgertown might have been at fault. Still searching for retribution from McBurgertown, Peter (accompanied by a reluctant Brian) goes to the corporate headquarters. Peter claims that he and Brian are wealthy Asian businessmen, and asks for a tour. The company grants his request, and Peter is on the lookout for evidence of wrongdoing that he can use to take down their business. The tour guide conveniently has to take a thirty-minute bathroom break in the middle of the tour, and leaves Peter and Brian alone. So Peter and Brian sneak into a room that is off-limits, only to find that it is a slaughterhouse. There they befriend a talking cow, and they make an agreement that, if they set the cow free, the cow will help them publicise the truth about McBurgertown. Peter, Brian, and the cow get out of the building, after a madcap chase scene that parodies an episode of ''The Monkees'', set to the group's song "Pleasant Valley Sunday". The cow's comments about McBurgertown's practices and the bad health effects of its food are covered by the media, and the company suffers a blow from which it might not recover. Meanwhile, Stewie and Brian wager that Stewie can disguise himself as a high-schooler and become the most popular kid in less than a week. Taking on the name "Zac Sawyer", Stewie starts hanging out with Connie D'Amico and her friends and easily wins them over, thus winning his bet with Brian. Connie and "Zac" drive to Anal Point to have sex; but, when "Zac" takes off his pants, Connie laughs at the size of his penis and drives off. The next day at school, Stewie is ostracized by the popular kids for his "baby penis", ending his reign of popularity. Realising that Connie was the one who revealed this to everyone, Stewie approaches Connie and concedes defeat. He asks Connie for one last kiss, and Connie accepts. But when Connie's eyes are closed, Stewie takes off his clothes and kisses her, thereby making her look like a pedophile. Connie is arrested by school security, as Stewie has his revenge for her destroying his popularity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「McStroke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
