"Peter Griffin: Husband, Father...Brother?" is the 14th episode of the third season of Family Guy. During the closing credits of this episode, the beginning theme song is redone in a hip-hop/rap style sung by Peter. This episode is rated TV-14-D.
When Chris starts speaking in ebonics after being towel guy in his school's predominantly black basketball team, Peter tries to get Chris to connect with his Irish heritage, and a trip to the genealogical library reveals the Griffin family has a black ancestor, Nate Griffin, who was a slave owned by the Pewterschmidt family. Meanwhile, Stewie becomes obsessed with the cheerleaders at Buddy Cianci Junior High because he believes they have mind control powers, and begins following them and listening to their conversations to learn about their techniques on how to pump up the audience during basketball games.
After Peter finds out about Nate, he decides to reach his black roots by going to a meeting with Cleveland, but fails. Cleveland got reparations from a family that used to own his ancestor, but the family has since become poor white trash so all he got was Rice Krispie treats. When Carter appears to inform the children of the Pewterschmidt side of the family after hearing of Peter's lineage, it is revealed from a photograph that the ancestors of the family kept Nate Griffin as a slave. Peter demands Rice Krispie treats from Carter Pewterschmidt, who offers him $10,000, then gives him $20,000 because he assumes "Rice Krispie treats" is black slang for money. Peter squanders the money to convert the den into a replica of Pee-wee's Playhouse, which angers Lois.
