A new monster roller coaster called the “Holocaust” opens up in Ohio, but Peter’s too fat to ride it, so he decides to go on a diet. But, even with Quagmire’s help he fails miserably so he just decides to wear a gurney to get by but of course that doesn’t work and it gets worse, on the way back they get a flat tire in “Amish Country”. It’s here we are introduced to Eli, a local Amish kid who takes a liking to Meg and vice versa. But, Eli’s dad disapproves, calling Meg a harlot and breaking her black heart. Peter opts to help, but fails when he tries to influence the Amish into liking rock and roll. However, JUST in time, the car gets fixed and the Griffins are OUTTA THERE! Surprisingly, Eli tags along which creates a feud with his dad Ezekiel. Peter declares war against the Amish but are no match for their advanced fighting methods until Peter breaks out the artillery. Once the odds are evened, a fist fight ensues!

Even though this episode of Family Guy was good, it wasn’t great but it definitely had its moments. Nothing beats Meg getting shitted on for a full 5 minutes by a horse but the real clincher was Peter taking on the Amish brandishing an arsenal of weapons that could make anyone playing Modern Warfare 3 a boner.
