Peter Griffin is a guy who loves to have fun, and in this episode of Family Guy, he takes his love for competition to a whole new level. After becoming the self-proclaimed champion of the local marathon, Peter is met with a new challenge, this time in the form of a local man named Joe, who was paralyzed from the waist down after a dangerous police chase.
Despite Joe's disability, Peter believes that his friend still has what it takes to compete and best him in the upcoming Paralympics Games, much to the dismay of Lois and the rest of the family. But with Peter insisting that Joe has the heart and determination to come out on top, he tries to convince him to train and participate in the games.
As Joe begins his training, he soon discovers that the events of the Paralympics are much more difficult than he anticipated, and he struggles to keep up with his competitors. But with Peter by his side, Joe refuses to give up his dream of winning the gold.
Meanwhile, Chris begins dating a girl who has a unique medical condition that causes her to constantly pass gas. While at first, Chris is embarrassed by his girlfriend's condition, he soon learns to embrace her for who she is and even enters a farting contest with her.
As the day of the Paralympic Games approaches, Joe becomes increasingly nervous about his ability to compete. But with Peter and the rest of the family cheering him on, Joe gives it his all and discovers that the events he thought were impossible are indeed challenging but not impossible to achieve.
In the end, as the family watches Joe compete, Peter realizes that the true competition was not between himself and Joe but between Joe and his own disability. With Joe showcasing his strength and determination, Peter learns a valuable lesson about the importance of never giving up on ourselves or those we love.
Overall, "Ready, Willing and Disabled" is a heartwarming and touching episode that highlights the importance of perseverance, acceptance, and love in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of the human experience and the power of the human will.
