Dr. Hartman (Seth Macfarlane) goes to check Meg’s abbreviations during the inspection only to start repeating real grammatical abbreviations in a typical Family man fashion. Of course, any preview of the show would be incomplete without showing the antics of patriarch Peter (MacFarlane), who is shown in another clip with fireworks, eagles and blowers strapped to his body in an apparent attempt to take flight. Like most things in Family man, however, the plan goes awry and Peter ends up cascading through the house.

One of the clippings shows Peter eating edible underwear in what he calls a “non-sexual situation” during a prison execution. However, the punch line of the cutaway jokes is clearly Peter describing “the most unprofessional set since they filmed Timothy Chalamet V DuneThe scene then cuts to an animated Chalamet giving a monologue on the desert planet Arrakis, only to be blown away by a strong gust of wind. Peter is then forced to take Chalamet away, angrily stating that he “shouldn’t be in windy movies!”
