"I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar" is the eighth episode from the second season of the FOX animated series Family Guy. It is the 15th episode of Family Guy to be aired. Candice Bergen and Faith Ford guest starred as Gloria Ironbox and Sarah Bennett, respectively.
This episode is included in the Freakin' Sweet Collection. The fact that this episode was first broadcast on March 28, 2000, the same day as the previous episode, "The King Is Dead", caused series creator Seth MacFarlane to be concerned the show was soon to be canceled.
Peter and the neighbors are notified by mail that they will receive free boats if they attend a timeshare sales pitch. However, during a high-pressure sales interview, Peter trades the boat for a mystery box, which turns out to contain tickets for a comedy club. At the club, Peter becomes drunk and attempts to tell jokes on stage. Before his brief performance, during which he mostly abuses the audience, he puts his beer bottle upside down in his pants from the inside, which spills down through his crotch. The audience, amused that Peter looks like he wet himself, laughs hysterically, leading drunk Peter to believe they liked his jokes. Peter thus believes his humor to be a hit.
Continuing his hubris, Peter tells a sexist joke at his job at the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory that offends female coworker Sarah Bennett, whose lawyer, Gloria Ironbox, offers to drop sexual-harassment charges if Peter goes to a sensitivity-training program. But since this has no effect, he's further sent on a women's retreat, where he continues to make insensitive comments until he endures pain comparable to childbirth: taking his bottom lip and stretching it behind his head.
