Background
Ernie The Giant Chicken is a recurring character on the FOX animated comedy series, Family Guy. He appears in several episodes and the recurring gag involves the storyline of the episode being interrupted while Peter Griffin goes into a lengthy fight scene with the chicken. These fight scenes involve the pair travelling across the whole city as the fight unfolds and there are some scenes which are more violent than those normally seen in a cartoon show. The scenes resemble a Blockbuster action film with several dramatic explosions and fight scenes which parody the likes of Die Hard. The episodes which feature Ernie have become popular with fans of the show and there are plans in place for him to feature in future episodes.

First Appearance
Ernie the giant chicken first appears in Family Guy episode FG203 Da Boom when Peter refuses to accept a coupon from a man dressed as a chicken saying he wouldn't accept coupons from giant chickens "not after last time". At this point he has a typical family guy flashback sequence in which we see Peter attempt to use a coupon given to him by Ernie as Ernie watches through the window. The cashier informs Peter that the coupon expires at which point Peter turns round angrily, jumps throught th window and starts the long fight scene with Ernie. The fight becomes increasingly far fetched, starting with a fist fight and escalating to the pair jumping from a bridge and continuing with the pair fighting on top of a moving truck. This goes further still with The truck falling from an open draw bridge onto a ship while Peter and Ernie continue fighting on a helicoptor. This leads to the pair continuing to fight even when they crash into an office block. Peter thinks he has killed Ernie having hit his head with a photo copier and announces to the stunned office workers "Chicken, gave me a bad coupon" at which point Ernie jumps on Peter and the pair fall through a window with Peter landing on top of Ernie, ending the fight. As Peter walks into the sunset victorious the viewer sees Ernie open his eyes in a prelude to future fighting between the pair.
