In the chaotic and ever-changing world of Family Guy, one thing has remained constant throughout: Peter Griffin losing his mind whenever he catches even the slightest glimpse of Ernie the Giant Chicken. That's right, he has a name and everything. What followed was a battle of epic proportions that destroyed everything in its wake, from Ferris wheels, airplanes, and even Meg's spaghetti, only for both of them to forget their original quarrel!

The fights between Peter and Ernie have become a meme sensation, as no one really knows what could tick both of them off, and the quarrel could start at the slightest of things or even touches. They were always hilarious to watch. The recent episode of Family Guy showed a passing of the torch moment as Meg seems to have inherited his father's will.

Fans in stitches as Meg inherits Peter's beef with Ernie in Family Guy

The recent episode of Family Guy shows Meg squaring off against Peter Griffin's eternal rival after Peter’s too bloated from donuts to brawl. Ernie showed admirably foolish restraint at first as he refused to hit her on account of Meg being a girl. Cut to the next scene: Ernie is running like the headless chicken he was reduced to, and Meg storms off the scene while holding his head like a prized trophy!

In one fell swoop, Meg went from being the Family Guy's punching bag to the ultimate rockstar. This had the internet in a bout of laughter as netizens couldn't get enough of the clip that went on the internet. Fans couldn't believe their eyes and took to social media to express their shock and excitement at the absurdity of the situation. One fan (@YouKnowItsCap) joked that Ernie had it coming:

"He was too Chicken to hit a girl. Not a real Rooster", quipped the fan.
"So that’s where the term running around like a chicken with your head cut off actually applies", remarked another fan (via X / @Michael121150)

Say what you want about Ernie, you can't fault him for his persistence. Even after getting his head severed multiple times, he always finds a way to come back from any calamity that may befall him. Death? Divorce? It doesn't matter. It's like he has made his life's mission to haunt Peter even in the afterlife. Let's just hope Meg put a full stop to all of his shenanigans!

"…..wasnt he divorced and dying like….1 or 2 seasons ago?" pointed out another fan (via X / @QFlo_Msuic215)

Megan's heroic act in the latest episode of Family Guy earned her new fans as netizens gave her her flowers. Fans clamored for her to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and even compared her to an all-too-powerful Decepticon from Transformers:

"Megatron is scary man, she doesn’t have many moments like this but when she does it’s clean and with no remorse", joked the fan (via X / @KokopelleAZ)
"Meg for mortal kombat 1, let’s go! XD", demanded another fan (via X / @RakeshWoof)

Invariably, there were some Fortnite references too on the matter, as Ernie infamously joined the company of Fortnite characters who meet their maker, as one keen-eyed fan (@DatDarkerDragon) pointed out:

"First fortnite skin to be canonically decapitated if you ignore the like 12 others"

He must be smiling from ear to ear in Chicken Heaven that he wasn't the first on the notorious list while he plans his next escapade!


Meg was able to entirely change her perception in the eyes of the viewers with her latest episode. Frankly, it was about time that she snapped and taught the others a lesson. Poor Ernie must be cursing himself and wondering if only he had not touched her spaghetti that time...
