The Family Guy season 11 premiere episode is titled "Into Fat Air." The episode opens with Peter and the guys watching an episode of the popular reality show "Deadliest Catch," which inspires Peter to plan a trip with the family to climb Mount Everest in a similarly risky fashion. Lois is hesitant at first, but eventually agrees to the adventure.
The family starts their journey to the top of Everest, with Peter leading the way and insisting they take several unnecessary detours along the way. As they reach higher elevations, the challenges become more daunting, including a storm that separates the group and causes them to lose their supplies. The family is struggling to survive, but they eventually come back together and make it to the peak of the mountain.
However, the challenges don't end there. They realize that they are actually on a different mountain - a fact that angers Lois. In a fit of rage, she abandons the group and makes her way down the mountain on her own. The rest of the family follows, and they have several more harrowing experiences on their way back to civilization. By the end of the episode, they all make it back home safely, but they're left reflecting on their experience and whether the trip was worth it.
Throughout the episode, there are several comedic subplots, including Stewie attempting to find a suitable mate for his evil twin, Chris becoming obsessed with mountain-climbing gear, and Meg struggling to keep up with her family's antics. The episode also features several pop culture references and nods to classic adventure movies like "127 Hours" and "Touching the Void."
Overall, "Into Fat Air" is a fun, fast-paced episode that balances humor and adventure. While some of the plot points may be unrealistic, they still manage to create plenty of excitement and humor. The episode also features some great character moments, particularly with Lois and her frustration with Peter's reckless behavior. Fans of the show will enjoy seeing the Griffin family pushed to their limits in this high-altitude adventure.
