Family Guy: 20 Cutaway Scenes For The Ages

Family Guy has been an American staple since the early 2000s. It allowed middle school boys to have something to quote all day, and gave thousands of carnival go-ers knockoff Stewie plushies to take home after winning the ring toss. The show revolves around the Griffin's life, but we all know the cutaways are the true heart of the series, and as the show has progressed the characters have become increasingly aware of the impact of the cutaway. Here are 20 of our favorite flashbacks and cutaways fresh from Quahog.
Conway Twitty
Perhaps the funniest running gag on Family Guy is the frequent reappearance of country artist Conway Twitty. I’ve no idea if this is just used to fill time for certain episodes or genuine admiration, but no one can deny that “Darth Twitty” is a hall of fame joke.

Redneck Science Video
As someone who grew up in the mountains of North Carolina, I can assure you that this sketch is 100% accurate. I had a teacher who incessantly drank Diet Mountain Dew like it was an udder and she was a newborn calf.

Will Smith’s Rap
