It is the 24th episode of ''[[Family Guy]]''. [[Jay Mohr]] guest stars in the episode.', 18 => '', 19 => '==Plot==', 20 => 'When [[Brian Griffin|Brian]] catches fleas, the house becomes infested. The [[Pest control|exterminators]] come, armed with military weaponry rather than conventional extermination equipment, and shoot up the house, while hunting the fleas. Brian puts the family up in a fancy [[hotel]] while the house is closed for repair and renovation. Peter makes a [[Diving (sport)|cannonball]] in the [[swimming pool]], and Brian knocks Stewie in the pool when he refuses to get in. [[Chris Griffin|Chris]] becomes self-conscious about his weight when the staff and guests make fun of him. He starts a diet and exercise regime, but it fails to yield results.', 21 => '', 22 => 'Lois makes the family [[meatloaf]], but Chris gets a steamed [[vegetable]] plate since he is trying to go on a diet. Chris denies the meal, but Lois tells him that vegetables are good for him. Peter takes him to the [[gym]] so he can get some exercise. He finds a [[plunger]] with a [[Twinkie]] attached to it. Chris walks on the [[treadmill]] and runs outside and tries to get the Twinkie, and eventually he catches the Twinkie. After a visit to [[Cleveland Brown|Cleveland]]'s brother [[Broderick]] to discuss [[liposuction]], Chris decides against it, but [[Peter Griffin|Peter]] surprises his family by taking advantage of the option himself, and comes home thin.', 23 => '', 24 => 'Meanwhile, [[Stewie Griffin|Stewie]] takes advantage of Chris' hard time with his diet. He attempts to spite him via eating an overabundance of the fatty food that Chris has been trying to avoid. He eventually takes it too far and he suffers from [[childhood obesity]]. He seems to suffer from an [[eating disorder]] as well, eating as much as possible. When his weight gain begins to show, Lois notes this, saying he is "getting a little Buddha belly". He eventually becomes immobile, and must be either carried, or ride on a [[toy wagon|wagon]]. It seems at this point, Lois ignores Stewie's gaining, for she seems to show no concern anymore. Because of this, Stewie becomes too heavy for his high chair to support him, and he crushes it and is unable to get up, so Brian takes the liberty of having fun by spinning him around, since his hands and feet cannot reach the floor. It is not long before Stewie cannot fit into his clothes anymore, or reach his face with his arms. (Incidentally, this plot line is never resolved; he is back to normal for the final scene, with no explanation.)', 25 => 'After Lois reprimands Peter for his behavior, he completely misunderstands and then gets further improvements, like becoming muscular and getting a new [[buttocks]] because Peter claims "[his] old one had a crack in it." This makes [[Lois Griffin|Lois]] much more attracted to him, even though she is conflicted with her objection to Peter's actions, and also gets him invited to the Quahog Beautiful People's Club. Chris, however, is not considered a "beautiful person" and has to wait outside, and Lois is furious that Peter would not do anything for him.', 26 => '', 27 => 'After an argument with Lois, Peter goes for a drive but cannot stop admiring his own reflection in the rear view mirror, and ends up crashing his car and falling into a vat at a [[lard]] factory, where he consumes so much before escaping that his body is back to its old shape. Surprised that they stood by him despite his behavior, Peter apologizes to his family, especially Chris. Lois asks him if he has learned a valuable lesson from his experience, but he replies with "nope," promptly ending the episode.', 28 => '', 29 => '==Reception==', 30 => 'In his 2009 review, Ahsan Haque of [[IGN]], rating the episode a 9/10, called the episode a "memorable classic" with a storyline that has "no redeeming moral value whatsoever" and "preaches all the wrong things, but does it in such a tongue in cheek manner that hopefully most of the show's audience is intelligent enough to realize it."<ref name=ign>{{cite web |author=Haque, Ahsan |title=Family Guy: "He's Too Sexy for His Fat" Review |publisher=IGN |url=http://tv.ign.com/articles/100/1005324p1.html |accessdate=2009-12-07 |date=20 July 2009}}</ref>', 31 => '', 32 => '==References==', 33 => '{{Reflist}}', 34 => '* S.
