Cutawayland is the 1st episode and season premiere of the nineteenth season of Family Guy. It's the 453th episode, overall.

Synopsis[]

Peter and Lois accidentally cue a cutaway gag, which transports them into a cutaway that they get trapped inside of. Meanwhile, the rest of the family searches through assorted cutaway gags to look for them.

Plot[]

The Griffins spend a day at the beach, where Peter is frustrated in trying to have some private time with Lois, which continues upon their return home. In their frustration, they set up the same cutaway of an Australian buying a suit at the same time, and disappear in a blue flash of light. They find themselves actually inserted into the gag. As Lois tries to piece together what happened, she sets up another cutaway of an uptight guy at an Eagles concert and they are transported to the new gag. Lois surmises that it takes a simultaneous setup to get out, but only one to transport between gags. Looking at the bright side of things, they decide they can use the power to have their private time at last.

They send themselves to Tom Brady's locker room shower, but are turned off by his Donald Trump hat. In frustration, Peter send them to Charlton Heston's funeral where Peter takes a gun from his cold dead hands. Their good mood returned, Lois sends them to a spin class run by a giant pair of Swedish legs, although Peter transforms himself into a bicycle seat. However, this backfires when he is used by a middle-aged fat guy with dirty shorts. Back home, the kids try to file a report with Joe, who ignores it to have a Star Wars fantasy. Meg suggests they use their own alone time to throw a party, but Chris misconstrues her use of the word 'rager' as a euphemism for an erection.

Peter and Lois try to take a flight to Paris, but find themselves in the Robert Loggia gag from "Peter's Two Dads". Bemoaning the fact that this gag goes on for a while, Peter gets the idea of bringing his iPad to them that Chris took when they first disappeared where they find he was watching BBC 12. They then set themselves up in a 'fart air balloon' but Peter quickly changes it to a 'pancake ER,' although a nurse points out that they really need the wing for Covid-19 patients. Back at the kid's house party, Principal Shepherd is their only guest while Meg hurts her back dancing on a table with a bottle of whiskey, and is beamed up to an alien spaceship. Peter sends himself and Lois to an unlocked hospital medicine storage room where he hears "You Have AIDS" going on in the next room. By this time, Lois begins to miss the kids and is ready to go home, although Peter is resistant and sends them back to Tom Brady's locker. Lois' pleas finally reach him and they wish they were back with their family, but they end up joining them in the locker. While everyone is away, Principal Shepherd returns, and finding the house completely empty, uses it to throw his own successful Principal's party.

When they try to correct themselves, Peter and Lois discover they have lost the ability to leap out of the locker room. Peter tries to use the locker room phone to call Joe for help, but ends up getting the "Joe Is on a Vacation" voice mail gag from "Encyclopedia Griffin". However, Joe answers the phone when the song is over, and after verifying that Joe isn't simply another gag, he asks for help in getting out. After consulting an autistic fanboy's message, Joe sends them to the very first cutaway gag to kill Adolf Hitler. When Lois points out that their power is not working, Joe says that they need someone within the cutaway gag to trigger a cutaway gag to their destination. The Griffins harass a naked Tom Brady in the shower and Stewie takes some pictures of his penis. The Griffins try to lead him into triggering a Hitler cutaway gag but he instead tells them they should be in family jail, sending them and himself to a cutaway gag, where they go to Family Prison, in a cell next door to a man getting arrested for domestic abuse and getting put in the same cell as his wife and kids, where he beats them even more. Peter tries to get a guard to cue a cutaway gag to Hitler but the guard says that he needs to go settle the domestic dispute in the next door cell and compares their loudness to a bunch of cockatoos fighting, which sends himself, Tom Brady, and The Griffins to a cutaway gag about cockatoos in a cock fight. There, Peter shakes a Mexican guy and tries to get him to mention who the worst person in history is and he says Trump, cueing a cutaway gag to Donald Trump, cackling like a supervillain and sitting in an evil empire with a bunch of villains. Peter asks Trump who he's often being compared to and Trump says Jesus, cueing a cutaway gag to Heaven with Jesus Christ. Donald Trump freaks out and thinks he's dead but then Jesus tells him not to worry. If he was dead, he wouldn't be here. Peter asks Jesus to send them all to Hitler but Jesus says he's not actually Jesus. He's Weird Al Yankovic, revealing the stupidity of Trump's cutaway gag. Weird Al says that he understands the confusion as trying to tell the difference between him and Jesus is like trying to find the difference between the three male characters from Friends, cueing a cutaway gag to a Friends episode, where Chandler, Joey, and Ross all look exactly the same. The minor recurring Friends character, Steve enters, saying that with all the whiteness going on in the room, this coffee shop has more mental issues than a walrus with borderline personality disorder, cueing a cutaway gag to a walrus in a psychologist's office with a manatee psychologist. The manatee psychologist tells the walrus that most of the world's problems stem from poor self-image, finally sending them all to their destination.

Tom Brady, the prison guard, the Mexican, Donald Trump, Weird Al Yankovic, Steve, the manatee, and The Griffins go to Das Gym from the first cutaway gag of the series, where a scrawny Hitler is shown angrily staring at a muscular Jew. Lois debates whether it's ethical to take the life of another human being and Brian berates her for even considering showing decency toward Hitler and Chris in turn calls Brian out on his annoying liberal politics. The family's quarreling is interrupted by Meg, returning with the führer's severed head, having already done the deed. The family finally returns home and witnesses Principal Shepherd's principal party, where Principal Shepherd offers them a drink.
