April in Quahog is the eleventh episode of the seventh season of Family Guy. It is the one hundred and fifty-third episode, overall.

Synopsis[]

After it’s announced that the Apocalypse is coming in 24 hours, everyone in Quahog tries to live out their last day to the fullest.

Plot[]

The local news reports that Stephen Hawking has discovered a new black hole at the edge of the Solar System, but the Griffin family pays no attention to the announcement. Peter then alerts the family that he has been selected for jury duty, which he believes is an exclusive experience. After Brian informs him that everyone serves jury duty at some point, Peter tries to be kicked out of court by annoying the others, expressing fabricated prejudices, singing "Surfin' Bird", and attempting to discuss the trial outside of the courtroom. When Peter returns home that night, the local news announces that the Earth will be destroyed by the newly discovered, and continually expanding, black hole within the next 24 hours. Frantic over the news, everyone in Quahog attempts to live out the best last day possible. Herbert finally attempts to have sex with Chris and Quagmire has sex with Bonnie.

Peter, instead of hanging with his family, at first does the things he wanted to do, including stealing a lion from the zoo and saying the "you-know-what word" in a black neighborhood (and becoming well respected as a result). However, when he attempts to hang with his friends, none of them want to hang out. And when he asks Fargus to hang out one more time, Fargus declines and says he's going to leave to find another universe to live in. Since he thinks this will be the last time they'll see each other, Fargus gives a heartfelt speech to him about how he wished he had his family due to being very lonely apart from a wife and how he should spend his last hours with them. Inspired by the speech, Peter decides to take the family to do family activities together. Around the mark where a few hours remain, Peter rents a motel and the family spends the last hours talking about fears and the feeling if their lives will be worthless. As the countdown reaches its final second, immediately afterward the news anchors reveal the black hole report was an April Fools' prank. With the apocalypse being a news hoax, the family groans and drives home. With an uncomfortable feeling being felt.

In the stinger, it reveals that Channel 5 News is getting heat for the whole "black hole" prank and the building is getting attack by angry Quahog residents.

[on the news with Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons]
Tom: Good evening, I'm Tom Tucker. Our top story tonight, scientists at NASA have made a fascinating new discovery: the first directly observable instance of a black hole, which appears to be located just outside our solar system. Tricia Takanawa has the story.
[cut to Tricia Takanawa with Stephen Hawking]
Tricia: Tom, I'm standing here with Stephen Hawking, the first white man I've ever met who knows math better than me. [to Stephen Hawking] Mr. Hawkins, what does the discovery of this black hole mean to you and your research?
Stephen Hawking: [in a computerized voice] I am overjoyed. This is the crowning achievement of my career. It validates the work of a lifetime.
Tricia: It certainly does. Back to you, Tom.
Man: [off-screen] All right, we're clear.
Stephen: [standing up from his wheelchair, throwing something from his ear and talking in a normal voice] I'm telling you, man, this shtick is getting so old. That chair smells, dude.
Man #2: [off-screen] Hey, Steve, surf's up! [tosses a surfboard to Stephen]
Stephen: All right! [to Tricia] See you, bitch!
[Peter enters the house and confronts his family]
Peter: Everyone, guess what.
Stewie: Guess what? The fact you're getting a divorce?
Peter: I have been selected.
Brian: For what?
Peter: Oh, nothing too important, just jury duty! They have summoned me. I am part of an elite group of individuals deemed intelligent enough to decide the fate of a fellow citizen.
Meg: [laughs]
Peter: Ah, the amused laughter of the envious. You know, they don't just pick anybody for this job.
Brian: Yeah they do.
Peter: Brian, perhaps I have not made myself clear. I have been entrusted to pass judgment upon others.
Brian: Everybody gets called for jury duty, you stupid idiot! I've been called! The only reason you've never been called is that they use the voter registration list, and this past election is the first time you ever voted.
Peter: I voted before. I stuffed the ballot box at the Oscars.
[cut to the Oscars]
Anne Hathaway: And the nominees for Best Actor in a Leading Role are: Grover from Sesame Street, Bluto from Popeye, a red guy, a boob, and Daniel Day Lewis. And the Oscar goes to...a red guy.
Peter: Wait a second. Y-You're saying that everyone is asked to do jury duty?
Lois: Yes, Peter.
Peter: So then, I'm not special?
Man: [off-screen] Everyone's special, Peter.
[the camera zooms out revealing Tommy Lee]
Peter: Rock drummer Tommy Lee?!
Tommy Lee: And if your wife ever tells you that you're not special, punch her really hard right in her hepatitis.
Peter: Thanks, Rock Drummer Tommy Lee!
Tommy: Hey, and you know what else is cool? Having sex with sunglasses on.
Peter: I've got a lot of things to try now!
[at the Drunken Clam, Peter is talking with Quagmire and Joe]
Peter: I don't want to go to jury duty. Turns out it's not a special honor at all. It's lame. And the worst part is, they try and trick you into getting excited by putting "duty" in the title.
Joe: So, you were excited when you thought there was fecal matter involved?
Peter: What the hell is fecal matter?
Joe: Waste.
Peter: Huh?
Joe: Doody.
Peter: Ha-ha!
Joe: Peter, jury duty is an important cornerstone in our democratic society.
Quagmire: Yeah, that's what separates us from the monkeys. That and the armed guards at the zoo. [quietly] Man, they got some sexy monkeys down there.
Peter: I don't care, jury duty sounds boring. I'm gonna get myself kicked out. Just like I got kicked out of Coldplay.
[cut to Peter practicing with Coldplay]
Peter: Guys, guys, I got an idea! How 'bout we do a song that's not whiny bullshit?
[at the courthouse, Peter is sitting with the other people who are summon for jury duty in the jury box]
Man: All right, ladies and gentlemen. We're gonna ask you a series of questions to determine whether or not you can be impartial jurors. First off, do any of you have any prejudices you feel the court should know of?
[Peter rises his hand]
Man: Yes, you sir.
Peter: Ants. I hate ants.
Man: What?
Peter: That's right, you heard me. I'm an ant hater. Just like my daddy and his daddy before him. So, if this is an ant trial, forget it. Now way I'm gonna be fair. Always making those cocky little hills. Moving around all single file and stupid. All ganging up and walking my pie off the picnic blanket.
[cut to Peter as ants take his pie away]
Peter: [gasps] 'Twas my pie gone missing!
Judge: All right, now the prosecution is about to show you items pertinent to this case that have been entered into evidence. It is vitally important that you look, but don't touch as any fingerprints could contaminate them.
Man: Exhibit A: One bloody Slinky.
Peter: Aww.
Man: Exhibit B: One semen covered View-Master...
Peter: Awww!
Man: ...with the reel of the Grand Canyon.
Peter: Awwww!
Man: And a blood-splattered Mr. Potato Head.
Peter: Awwww!
Man: And those socks you really need.
Peter: Awwooh..!
Lois: How was jury duty, Peter?
Peter: It sucked, Lois. Even the vending machines were out of order.
Brian: [wearing a pilot's helmet and goggles and wheezing a la Muttley from "Dastardly and Muttley and Their Flying Machines"] Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!
Tom: This is Tom Tucker with some breaking news. NASA have made the alarming announcement that the newly discovered black hole at the edge of our solar system appears to be expanding. Neptune and Pluto have already been consumed and scientists estimate that the even horizon will reach Earth by tomorrow.
Diane: That's right, Tom. Which means that all life on Earth will be destroyed within 24 hours.
Lois: Oh my God!
Meg: Mom is... is this for real?
Lois: Well, it sure looks that way, sweetie.
Brian: It's... the end of the world.
Peter: Holy crap!
[A knock on the door is heard, and Chris answers the door and finds it is Herbert in his underwear]
Herbert: Seems like I've run out of waiting time.
Tom: But it looks like Nicole Richie's baby is gonna be just fine. Also, in the news, the doomsday clock is ticking with less than 19 hours to go before our planet is consumed by an expanding black hole. As Americans everywhere face their last day on Earth, one can only imagine how they're spending it.
[Jesus walks up to Mort's house and rings his doorbell and Mort answers the door]
Jesus Christ: Hey Mort. Now that the end of the world is here, i just wanted to say no hard feelings, huh?
[Jesus shakes Mort's hand, but is pranked by Jesus' joy buzzer]
Jesus: Psych! Ha-Ha! Embedded in the hand! Have fun where you're going.
Lois: Peter, where are you going?
Peter: Last day on Earth, last chance to do this. I'm going into the inner city and I'm gonna yell the N word.
[After that a corresponding neighborhood is shown, rap music is playing in the background and Peter is going to speak. Return to the Griffins' kitchen, Peter comes in completely beaten to a pulp]
Peter: They respected me for saying it.
[Randall Fargus is sitting on the couch with his wife and son]
Anthony: Dad, what was it like when you were young?
Randall: Oh, Anthony, those were crazy times. My friends and I were out of control. We used to give each other wet-willies and funny-arms. We'd play dandy-balls and legs-a-spread and penis-butt.
Eliza: Randall, that sounds kind of gay.
Randall: It was gay! Everyone was! But back then we were called pole-fancies. It was real, good old-fashioned "grab the nearest tree and hold on for dear life" gay, not today's fancy, feather-bed, thread-count gay. People got hurt back then, damnit!
Anthony: That's gay.
Randall: Yeah, it was pretty gay. I think I played those games with a kid called John, and he acted very strange around boys.
Chris: This can't be the end. I never jacked off to pretty woman. I never jacked off on a woman. I never even found out what jacking off is.
Meg: Really, Chris? Those are your big dreams? What about graduating college, or getting that big break you've been waiting for? Meeting that dream love and getting married?
Chris: You really think someone will marry me?
Meg: Well, someone's gotta be out there that will wanna marry you if you're multiple girlfriends mean anything.
Chris: Oh, that's the sweetest thing you've ever said to me.
Meg: Well, you should know that even though you're annoying, you're my brother, and I love you, Chris.
Chris: I love you, too... Meg.
[Brian looks at the Channel 5 News on the TV after finding out the truth about the 'black hole' story]
Brian: You...dicks!
Peter: I am so fucking ready.
