Top 10 Best Mayor Adam West Moments on Family Guy

Top 10 Best Mayor Adam West Moments on Family Guy
VOICE OVER: Alexander Cometti WRITTEN BY: Garrett Alden
These Mayor Adam West moments were almost as ridiculous as real-world politics. Our countdown includes Adam West vs. the Noid, tomato, wizards, and more!

#10: Trying to Get Superpowers
“Family Guy Viewer Mail #1”


In this episode, we follow several vignettes about the “Family Guy” characters. In one, the Griffin family gets superpowers from toxic waste. However, these abilities soon go to their heads and they begin to use them for personal gain and to essentially terrorize Quahog. At a town meeting, Mayor Adam West promises to try to fight back by getting superpowers himself. After literally rolling around in toxic waste, the results are less than helpful – instead of supernatural abilities, he gets cancer instead. Fortunately, West teaches the Griffins a valuable lesson about responsibility and they help him through this difficult time. West’s deadpan delivery makes the whole escapade pretty funny too.

#9: Adam West vs. the Noid
“Deep Throats”


When Meg Griffin gets a job at city hall, Mayor West has all manner of strange requests for her. One of the oddest is his insistence that if Meg sees the Noid trying to ruin the freshness of his lunchtime pizza, that he’ll snap the Domino’s Pizza mascot’s neck. However, West’s instruction proves prophetic as the weird, red rabbit man soon arrives to stomp on the mayor’s lunch. This prompts West to follow through on his earlier threat and the giggling character ruins his last pizza. The Noid gets destroyed! This is what happens when you annoy Batman!

#8: Mayoral Debate “
It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One”


After experiencing pollution at the local lake, Lois is disturbed when she learns that Mayor West allowed dumping waste there in exchange for oil. Determined to make changes, she runs against West in an election. At the debate, Lois manages to learn how to manipulate undecided voters on the fly, but Mayor West is already a pro at it. When Mort Goldman asks him a question, Mayor West gives a spectacular non-answer, sits in his lap, and kisses his forehead. Somehow, we feel like he has a different definition of what constitutes “voter outreach.”

#7: Tomato
“You May Now Kiss the... Uh... Guy Who Receives”


Mayor West isn’t exactly known for spending taxpayer money wisely. To honor fallen soldiers, West decides the best way to honor their memory is with a solid gold statue – of a cereal mascot. When angry protesters congregate outside his office, he decides that he needs to distract them from this blunder. While he has many options to choose from, his first choice is to jingle his keys at them. When this admittedly brilliant tactic doesn’t work, he gets a brick to the face and discovers some disturbing information – [“My God – I’m a tomato!”] It’s this kind of bizarre conclusion that makes us want to see what it’s like inside that head of his – even if it’s made of produce.

#6: Stealing His Water
“The Story on Page One”


Speaking of Mayor West’s misuse of taxpayer funds, Meg uncovers a particularly egregious example when she tries to interview the kooky man. While trying to find a story, Meg sees West flip out at water going down his drain, as West believes someone is “stealing” his water. It turns out he’s used funds for the city to solve this mystery. Thankfully, Luke Perry seems like he has a solution to Mayor West’s conundrum. And even then, it doesn’t matter that Meg wrote her story – she’s just a figment of Mayor West’s imagination anyway!

#5: Cat Launcher
“Prick Up Your Ears”


While enjoying some questionable entertainment on TV, Mayor West answers the door and receives the pizza he ordered. However, the pizza is not entirely as he ordered it – he got Canadian bacon instead of bacon! To punish this heinous crime, West decides to exact revenge on the delivery man using a most unusual weapon – a crossbow that fires cats. The image of Mayor West chasing a pizza guy in his underwear and launching cats at him is hilarious enough, but his retrieval of his “spent ammo” is even funnier. West’s amusement at his own cat’s name, Paul, is infectious. It’s a person’s name!

#4: Eye for an Eye
“Perfect Castaway”


A trip on Peter’s fishing boat leads to all manner of shenanigans for him and his friends, but also to the foursome getting lost at sea. While the guys all manage to land on a small island, the rest of Quahog believes them to be dead. At a memorial service, Mayor West delivers a speech, citing the Bible’s principle of “an eye for an eye.” To take revenge on the sea for taking the men, West proceeds to literally stab the ocean with a knife. That’ll show the world-spanning body of water!

#3: Escaping Meg
“The Story on Page One”


As we mentioned earlier, Meg goes to Mayor West hoping for a story to write for her school paper. However, their first encounter isn’t everything she hoped for. Mayor West begins the meeting in typically bizarre fashion by wondering how she speaks his language, as well as mistaking her for Sarah Connor. But things really turn south when he learns she’s “with the press.” Reasoning that she can’t interview him if he’s dead, West jumps out his second-story window. The whole sequence encapsulates West’s wacky behaviors wonderfully and is pretty darn funny too.

#2: Wizards
“Thanksgiving”


Thanksgiving at the Griffin house sees Mayor West attend as well, since he’s married to Lois’ sister. In the backyard, everyone gets together for a friendly game of football. Joe decides to be a captain and makes Mayor West one as well. However, Joe objects to West’s first choice – Joe himself. In a future cutaway, and elderly, bearded West tells his grandchildren that he respected Joe for standing up to him. After one of his grandsons objects to the story, an even further flashforward sees West praise his grandson for standing up to him. When a great-grandkid tells him he doesn’t like the story, West turns him to dust with lightning – confirming what we’d always hoped, that future elderly people will be wizards!

Before we get to our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions:

“WHAT?!,” “Go, Stewie, Go!” & “Brian Writes a Bestseller”
Mayor West’s Random Commentary Moments Are Hilarious

Adam West Song, “Brian Sings and Swings”
Who Knew He Was So Musically Talented?

Beware of Dog, “Petergeist”
And Here We Thought You Could Use “One Way” Only “One Way!”

Falling in Love, “Brothers & Sisters”
Talk About a Cute Meet-Cute!

Adam West vs. Orion, “April in Quahog”
If Anyone Can Show Space What-For, It’s Mayor Adam West!

#1: Adam We
“Breaking Out Is Hard to Do”


After Lois goes to prison, Peter manages to smuggle her out, prompting a manhunt when the Griffin family goes on the run. Mayor West calls Joe, apparently concerned with the police retrieving them. However, it turns out he was talking about his missing Lite-Brite pieces, and not the Griffins. His name is missing the “S-T” part of Adam West. Amusingly, this sends West into an existential crisis, wondering if he is indeed “Adam We.” These random thought processes helped make the character so entertaining. Rest in peace, Mayor We.
