"Boys Do Cry" is the 15th episode of the fifth season of the American animated sitcom Family Guy. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on April 29, 2007. The episode follows the Griffin family after Lois gets a job as an organist at the local church, and she insists that the rest of the family go to church with her. This eventually leads to Stewie drinking and throwing up the host during a sermon, which causes a mob to form around the Griffin household. In an attempt to prevent the town from supposedly exorcising the devil out of Stewie, the family escape and seek refuge in Texas.
It was written by series regular Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and directed by Brian Iles. The episode received generally mixed reviews from critics for its storyline and many cultural references. According to Nielsen ratings, it was viewed in 8.13 million homes in its original airing. The episode featured guest performances by Drew Barrymore, Bill Engvall, Gilbert Gottfried and Camilla Stull, along with several recurring guest voice actors for the series. "Boys Do Cry" was released on DVD along with four other episodes from the season on October 21, 2008.
Lois gets a job as the new organist at the local church, which causes her to force her family to start attending mass on Sundays. After Stewie mistakes Communion wine for punch, he drinks too much and throws it up, leading the citizens of Quahog to believe Stewie is possessed by Satan. When the priest wants to exorcise him, aided by everyone in town, the Griffin family escapes to Lois' sister Carol's house in Texas. Upon arriving at the home, Peter fits in well with the cowboys, but Brian is disgusted by the bigotry of the local residents. Stewie, disguised as a girl to protect his identity, begins using the name "Stephanie Griffin" and, after being convinced by Lois, enters a "Little Miss Texan" beauty pageant. Meanwhile, as part of an initiation into an after-school club, Meg and Chris sneak into George W. Bush's Crawford ranch to steal a pair of his underwear.
