Peter wins a year of unlimited gas, and Brian suggests that the family use the funds to take a road trip to the Grand Canyon. So the Griffins pack up the car and hit the road, but leave some very precious cargo at home.

| Fozzie: "I once knew a guy who was so Arab..."
Sword Wielding Saudi Man: (angrily) "How Arab was he?!"
Fozzie: "Uh... He was so Arab that everybody liked him and there was nothing funny about him at all."
This joke is taken from 1979's The Muppet Movie but instead of "Arab" Fozzie says "Fat", and instead of a sword wielding Arab, a fat sailor threatens Fozzie w/ a broken bottle.

The Muppet's Fozzie Bear performs for the Saudis
