Ernie (Family Guy)

Ernie the Giant Chicken is fictional a character from the animated series Family Guy. In all of his appearances, he gets into a fight with Peter in some form or another.

In Da Boom
Ernie first appeared in the episode Da Boom. Peter has a flashback about Ernie giving him an expired coupon. Ernie & Peter have a colossal fight, destroying nearly everything in their path. It ends with them both falling out the window of a building. Peter lands on top of Ernie presumably killing him. As Peter walks off, Ernie's eyes open.

In Blind Ambition
The second appearance of Ernie was in Blind Ambition. Peter is talking when he is attacked by Ernie out of nowhere. They have another big fight that continues to an airport. Ernie doesn't see a plane coming & gets mauled by a propeller. As Peter walks off, Ernie's foot makes a fist.

In No Chris Left Behind
In Ernie's third appearance, No Chris Left Behind, he gets into another fight with Peter. It is the longest, most elaborite fight yet. It goes on for awhile before Ernie & Peter begin to wonder what they were even fighting about. Ernie invites Peter to dinner as an act of apology. All goes well until it comes to paying the bill. They argue about who gets to before getting into another fight (Peter actually pays for the bill). The fight ends with Peter splashing Ernie with hot grease and crushing his skull with a boiling pot, but as with every fight prior, Ernie is still alive.

Cameo Appearance
Ernie also had a cameo in Meet the Quagmires. Peter is dancing when he accidentally punches him in the face. If it weren't for his friend, there would probably be another fight between the two.

Trivia

 * Ernie seems to be an omen of destruction. Normally, whenever he appears, anything in his path is destroyed soon after.
 * There is another chicken in another episode. Peter tells of his small ancestor who participated in cock fights. It is unknown if this chicken is an ancestor of Ernie.
