"Fighting Irish" is the seventeenth episode of the thirteenth season of the animated sitcom Family Guy, and the 248th episode overall but it is advertised as the 250th episode. It aired on Fox in the United States on May 3, 2015, and is written by Jaydi Samuels and directed by Brian Iles.

In the episode, Peter's friends grow tired of his drunken boasts that he can beat up Irish actor and former amateur boxing champion Liam Neeson; when Neeson finds out, he promises not to beat up Peter if he becomes his personal servant. Meanwhile, Stewie becomes jealous of the attention Lois gives to another boy.

Glenn Quagmire holds his Quagfest to celebrate his 1,000th sexual conquest, which turns out to be with a largemouth bass. After Peter learns that Irish actor Liam Neeson is making a film about a vengeance-seeking Albert Einstein in Waterbury, Connecticut, his repeated drunken boasts about how he can beat Neeson in a fight exhaust the patience of Quagmire, Joe, and Cleveland, who decide to arrange for Peter to prove himself in a battle against Neeson. Peter tries various ways to meet Neeson. His first attempt was to dress as Mrs. Potato Head to lure him out – only to attract Colin Farrell. Then he sets up a fake confession booth, which draws Neeson, who confesses to killing hundreds of wolves and stealing items from 7-Eleven. When Peter states his reason for being there to security, he is arrested. While his friends work to raise his bail money, he is bailed out by Neeson, who is angered by Peter boasting he can beat him up. Peter hits Neeson with a metal food tray, only to have the tray dented and Neeson uninjured. Before Neeson can take a punch at him, a flinching Peter offers him his services, to which Neeson agrees.
