Seth Macfarlane. Episode "Friends Without Benefits" of Family Guy. TV Series. Fuzzy Door Productions: 1999-.

The episode features a cutaway gag in which Peter compares an upcoming family move to the sacking of Troy. The scene depicts the Greek force pulling a giant wooden horse to the gates of Troy, while the Griffin family is depicted waiting inside an actual live horse.

Peter: "Just think of this farm as our next great adventure - like when we tried to invade the city of Troy."

Lois: "Peter, I don't think this is the right horse."

Peter: "I am 100% positive this is the right horse."
