In the Petarded episode of Family Guy, which is the sixth episode of the fourth season, Peter discovers that he is mentally disabled and files for disability benefits. After taking an IQ test, Peter is deemed mentally challenged and is awarded a large sum of money. He starts to irritate everyone by constantly calling people up and telling them things that he's discovered.
As the episode goes on, Peter's friends and family become increasingly worried about him and the money he's received. They try to help him by taking him to see a doctor, but Peter is convinced that the test was wrong and refuses to believe that he is mentally challenged.
Meanwhile, Lois becomes obsessed with becoming a reporter after being praised for breaking a story about an accident. She starts to follow Peter around with a camera, hoping to document his behavior and get a story out of it. However, this only adds to the tension in the household, as Peter becomes increasingly paranoid about being watched.
As the episode comes to a close, Peter's friends and family stage an intervention to try and get him to see the truth about his mental state. They plead with him to give up his disability benefits and stop acting like a fool. However, Peter refuses to listen and insists that he is perfectly fine. The episode ends on a rather somber note, with Peter still denying the truth about his mental condition.
Overall, Petarded is a classic Family Guy episode that showcases the show's sharp humor and satirical take on modern life. It explores themes of disability, mental health, and the lengths people will go to in order to get what they want. With its memorable characters and sharp wit, Petarded is a must-watch for any Family Guy fan.
