Here at Family Guy, about
every ten years or so,

we do an episode called "Viewer Mail,"

where we try out story ideas

that fans have submitted in the mail.

Lately, we've been getting
a lot of DMs from fans

asking what mail is, and
also suggesting story ideas.

Like this one from viewer Derek...

- It's usually dudes.
- ... who writes,

"Didn't Chris used to
wear an earring one time?

- Where'd it go?"
- Well, Derek,

thank you for your question.

And, as it happens, we
have an answer for you.

An answer in the form
of three epic films

crammed into six minutes. Enjoy.

♪

[LOIS] It all began
in the land of Mordor,

forged in the fires of Spencer's Gifts,

Sauron created the One
Earrig to rule them all.

What followed was a massive
w*r of elves and orcs

that will someday cost Amazon Studios

two billion dollars,

just to get review-bombed by racists.

And also, this happened.

[announcer] Call of Gardening:
Modern Shrubbery. Begin.

Yeah. Awesome. I'm growing
the crap out of this fruit.

- You have unlocked: Barley.
- Sweet.

I'll share it with my neighbors
'cause hobbits are a friendly,

peaceful folk you can root for.

Also, the last people

who would ever go on an
adventure, that's for sure.

Frodo, I need you to go on an adventure.

It's a very heterosexual quest

with guys who call each
other "my dear" a lot.

Where's your season one earring?

Hang on, Gandalf, I think
I got it here somewhere.

Sorry my hobbit hole is so tight.

- Mm...
- But it's the hole

I was given at birth.

Just, uh... just get
that earring, please.

The truth is my hole
doesn't get many visitors.

Aah!

How we doing on that earring?

Here it is.

Oh, and it's hissing some
kind of devil talk at me,

and there's stuff on here
about unlimited dark power.

Ah. Go pack your underthings
while I practice saying,

"You shall not pass" in the mirror.

Thank you, everyone, for
coming to the Council of Elrond,

a meeting that I called
and then named after myself.

Cool. If there's one thing
that's awesome to show

in a big action movie, it's meetings.

Where are we on the agenda, by the way?

And also, what's the Wi-Fi password?

Just use "rivendellpublic".

Okay, is that what-is
that what you're on?

Don't worry about what I'm
on. Use "rivendellpublic".

I feel like you're
probably on a faster one.

Look, we're here because
Frodo has the One Earring,

and it must be destroyed by returning it

from whence it came: Into
the fires of Mount Doom.

Yeah, "rivendellpublic"
is super slow, man.

Anyway, you guys have
to help Frodo get there.

I think we're all in agreement

that one simply walks into Mordor.

But aren't there... I like
that reference by the way...

aren't there giant
eagles in Middle-earth?

Can't Gandalf just fly me to Mordor

- on a giant eagle?
- Nah, you got to walk.

Hey, I like being part of
this group, but I don't like

that you all put your
backpacks on my lap.

I'm not a chair. I'm...

I'm kind of a chair.

Thanks for escorting
me to Mordor, everyone.

You bet. And what's great is that,

since the soundtrack in
these films is so forgettable,

we can basically run any
movie music we want here.

♪ Holiday road... ♪

♪ Holiday road ♪

♪ Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh. ♪

Well, you're on your own from here.

What? Y... You're
leaving, Viggo Mortensen?

Yeah, sorry, I got to
go be in two more things

and then no more things.

I also have to leave,

but not to go check in
with my parole officer,

if that's what you're wondering.

Yeah, and my beard kind of
got caught in the spokes.

I think I have to unspool
it all the way back

to where we started.

Ah, that's worse.

And I can only poop in my
own apartment in Lothlórien.

Didn't know we were
gonna be out this long.

Oh, hey, I can tag along

with you and the precious...
I mea... I mean,

that earring that I don't
have big feelings about

one way or the other.

[SIGHS] Friggin' great.
So, how do we get there?

Well, let's check the map.

[CHRIS] This, um, this
map is not very detailed.

[STEWIE] Okay.

No, seriously. Why are there no roads?

And I guess these three wavy lines

are supposed to indicate a lake?

I mean, there's really
no detail on here.

This is basically a child's menu.

Who would be helped by this?

Look, this is the map,
okay? At least we know...

we go that way.

[THE MARCH FROM STRIPES PLAYING]

Why is they playing the theme
from Stripeses, my precious?

It's just...

it's just a joke from earlier.

Thanks, map. Thanks, great detailed map.

All right, listen. I wanted
to keep this a secret,

but I do know a shortcut into Mordor.

What? Where is it?

You just go through that tunnel.

See where it says "Giant Spider Hole"?

Is a giant spider in there?

No, th... that's just some
kids messing around.

[GROWLS, ROARS] I'm this!

Aw, frick. [GROANS]

What the hell, man? You
tried to get me k*lled.

That's it. I'm only
giving you 14 more chances,

and then you can't be
in my quest anymore.

There it is... Mount Doom.

Yeah, but how are we
supposed to get there?

This valley's full of trolls and orcs

and... oh, God, Mork from Orks.

h*, h*. Ladies and
gentlemen, Elvish Presley.

♪ Don't be cruel to the hobbits crew. ♪

Thank you. Thank you very much.

h*, h*. Gandalf the
Gray, or Gandalf the g*y?

[EFFEMINATE VOICE]
Hey, watch where you put

that staff, mister.

- h*! h*, h*.
- h*! h*, h*.

I... I can't go on.

I'm exhausted from all the riffing.

Plus, he did a "g*y" voice,
and that's not okay anymore.

It's over, Gollum.
We're not gonna make it.

We're all alone, and
our path is blocked.

And I forgot to turn on my step counter

before we left the Shire. Perfect.

We could probably estimate it.

Oh, what, using the map?

All right, if you're
gonna keep being like this,

I don't want to be your quest buddy.

Wait, look.

[CHANTING]

Where are all the
Robin Williamses going?

I wonder if maybe there are some
private school kids somewhere

not seizing the day.

[ROBIN WILLIAMS] Oh,
Sauron, my Sauron! h*, h*!

Okay, yeah, I think it's that.

[SAURON] Should I watch these hobbits,

who are probably coming to destroy me?

Uhp. Galadriel's showering.

We finally made it.

I know, and our faces and
clothes are much dirtier

than when we started,
so that means the journey

was lengthy and difficult.

Now we just got to throw
the earring into the fire.

[GRUNTS]

Oh, no. It's the one
true Lord of the Earrings,

Harrison Ford.

[MUMBLES INCOHERENTLY]

Yes, Harrison, throw it into the fire!

That's the last thing Sauron wants,

which is why he built
a convenient land bridge

to the fire.

[MUMBLES INCOHERENTLY] ...
earring... off of my plane.

- What?
- He's so stoned.

Aah!

It's done.

Hey, so, I kind of need to
go die with the precious.

All I ask is that my
death scene be accompanied

by a piece of very dramatic film score.

Welcome back. And big thanks

to all the viewers still sending us DMs.

Viewer Gayle K. writes,
"Have y'all been to space?"

Okay, now that's a bit tone-deaf.

Viewer Ryan asks, "How
did the Griffin family

get to Quahog in the first place?"

Funny story. The
Griffins' pioneer ancestors

actually traveled to
Quahog on the Oregon Trail,

the other way. Let's watch.

♪

_

Good evening, and welcome
to Channel Five News, Oregon.

Coming up: Moss, and lots of it.

But first, in summer trends,

there's an all-new race

to be unjustifiably prejudiced against,

and it's called "Chinese."

Man, Oregon sucks so bad.

For a state called the "Beaver State,"

this place is a sausage fest.

I'm with Pioneer Chris.

Having to pay for everything
in otter pelts is a hassle.

Also, the Megs keep dying.

[SIGHS]

You. You're the inside Meg now.

The rest of you, come bury
your sister very shallowly.

You know, I hear tell
of a majestic territory

somewhere out yonder called
"Quahog, Rhode Island."

Ooh, I've heard the same.

They say there's a whole
small world out east,

with minimal land, just
ripe for the taking.

Why, it's the American
destiny, Manifest Retreat.

Aw, Oregon's not so bad, guys.
What about the microbrews?

[GIGGLES] Silly beer.
We're staying in Oregon.

[TOM] And finally tonight, in sports,

hope is high for
Oregon's premiere athlete,

- Steve Pre-Pre-Pre-Prefontaine.
- We're leaving.

Ah, the journey begins.

And we've already lost
a Meg to dysentery.

Please, just don't put the
cause of death on my tombstone.

Nah, people need to know you died gross.

"expl*sive" feels like

an unnecessary detail.

How's the Oregon Trail

going for everyone so far, huh?

Are we having a good Oregon Trail?

Let me know when you need snacks.

Brian, does this Stewie

- want to k*ll Lois?
- Uh, I don't know.

Yeah, I-I'm not really
sure what the rules are.

I think I'm just gonna kind of
lay low until this one finishes.

Oh, no. We weren't
counting on this river.

Is there some way around it?

I don't know. Maybe
we could check the map.

Oh, yeah, let's check

- the very helpful map.
- Chris.

Hey guys, while you've been bickering,

we lost another three Megs.

I mean, I guess we could
use the dead Megs as a raft

and float across the river.
I'm being facetious, of course.

I don't think we should use the Me...

_

We're lost! What are we gonna do?

Hey, I think Chris is
starting to lose it.

He's over there hosting
a Real Housewive reunion

with snowmen.

Okay, let her talk.
We're gonna let her talk

and then we're gonna hear
what you're trying to say.

We're in real trouble, guys.

If we don't find a way off
this mountain, like, now,

we're gonna die up here.

All right, give me one second.
I'm gonna go pray on this

'cause human brains are stupid back now.

God, it's me,

Peter Griffin's pioneer ancestor.

My family is lost and we need your help.

Please send an angel who will deliver us

to safety in Rhode Island.

God, if you do this for us,

I promise to stop
kicking over grave markers

I see on the side of the trail. Amen.

Peter, I...

Aah!

Oh, boy.

Okay, God, if you could
just send one more angel.

Look, I'm putting the g*n down.

And maybe he could
come out in front of me,

where's it's not a surprise.

- Hey.
- Hey, man.

Look, just be cool, all right?

I-I'm just gonna do a pioneer miracle

for you and your family, all right?

N-Nobody else needs to get
hurt. Y-You already shot Jerry.

Aw, he had a name. Now I feel worse.

He-he didn't have a
family, though, right?

- Angels don't have families?
- L-Let's just do this.

There, that's Quahog, Rhode Island.

Sweet! Hey guys, come on!

I found Quahog all by myself.

Hi-ya! Ten points for Peter Griffin.

That puts Griffin at 620 points total,

a new Oregon Trail record.

[IMITATES CROWD CHEERING]

Well, family, we made it,

and with just one Meg to spare.

Welcome home, everyone.

Peter, doesn't this house
belong to someone else?

Not for long.

Hey, guys? You had 1,000
years to invent g*ns,

and you didn't, so... sorry.

I know, I know, this sucks,
but all of America did this,

so it's not just me, so it's okay.

Ah. Terrific.

Let's never teach about
that in our schools.

Oh, that's kind of a sad
ending for Native Americans.

Eh, it's not so bad. In 200 years,

what's left of the Doobie Brothers

is gonna play at their casino.

Well, it's good to finally
be settled in New England.

- Yeah, but you better get going.
- Why?

Because the only profession
in 19th century New England

is being soaking wet on a whaling boat.

Hey, there's a whale.

That's not the one specific whale

that made me angry a few years back.

Ah, God. New England
stinks until Tom Brady.

Welcome back. The DMs from
viewers are still rolling in.

since The Cleveland Show

"was such a big success,

"I wonder if you've
considered giving Quagmire
