Peter Griffin, World Warrior
April 11, 2011
Family Guy racked up one of its most memorable video game references on this week's new episode, "Tiegs For Two", when Peter Griffin and his Chinese dry cleaner decide to settle their disagreement over a missing shirt with an old fashioned arcade street fight. Via Hulu (and YouTube if you can outrun the lawyers), here's Peter filling the role of Ken Masters and Mr. Washee Washee as Edmond Honda in a Street Fighter II battle royale complete with authentic strategies, special moves, sound effects, limited animation, and visual cues. I laughed so hard at this that I had to rewind my DVR and check it out again, and then later a third time. It's just so well done that I can't help but be impressed by the attention to detail.
