The new episode of Family Guy, titled Lower G.I. Joe, takes collecting to an extreme level. During a colonoscopy, doctors find a G.I. Joe action figure lodged in Peter Griffin's intestine. The piece turns out to be a rare collectible, and the reward for selling it sparks a conflict between Peter and his friends. The episode airs Sunday, April 26 on FOX. 🎬
The technical process of intestinal animation 🎨
Produced by 20th Television Animation, the episode required detailed animation work to depict the inside of Peter's colon. The technical team used precise digital models to simulate the organic environment and the embedded action figure. The voices of Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Seth Green, Mila Kunis, and Arif Zahir bring the characters to life. Showrunners Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin oversaw the production, ensuring the medical sequence maintained the series' absurd tone.
Collecting with gastrointestinal risks 🚨
If you ever thought paying too much for an action figure on eBay was a bad decision, consider Peter's option: having it lodged in his intestine for years. The clip Peter Had a Gi-Joe in His Colon shows that, to get a rare piece, some are willing to do anything. That said, next time you lose a figure, don't look for it in your digestive system. It's a storage method not recommended, even for obsessive collectors.
