Cookie Monster could have invented Facebook.' Mexico could be the world's dominant super power. Who knows what unforeseen consequences are awaiting us? Saddam Hussein could be president. And given how often Gibson has had public meltdowns in the years since, this episode has only become more appropriate.

Rarely has a celebrity been more successfully lampooned on the show. In the end, Gibson is destroyed by his own hubris. Desperate to reclaim his stolen reel of The Passion of the Christ 2: Crucify This, Gibson kidnaps Lois and drags Peter through a Hitchcock-inspired thrill ride. But the real fun in this episode comes from Peter's war against Mel Gibson. It's funny to see the two quickly settle into the role of a quiet, suburban married couple and do all the things parents do, like planting cocaine in the school locker of Chris' upside down-faced nemesis, Jake Tucker. Much of the show's best material comes from the Brian/Stewie pairing (a fact that will be reiterated many times on this list), and this episode is no exception. After poking fun at their own cancellation in the opening moments, the writers launched right into a new adventure that saw Peter and Lois take a romantic vacation to rekindle their marriage while Brian and Stewie babysat Chris and Meg back home. The show didn't seem to miss a beat, luckily.

'Christians don't believe in gravity.''North by North Quahog' marked Family Guy's big return to FOX after several years of slumming it on Cartoon Network and racking up DVD sales.
