"Jungle Love" is the 13th episode of the fourth season of Family Guy. The episode originally aired on September 25, 2005 and was written by Mark Hentemann and directed by Seth Kearsley. Chris runs away from his home after getting hazed on his first day of school and joins the Peace Corps, after which he is dropped off in South America. Peter gets a job at the Pawtucket Brewery, where the beer is free as long as employees do not drink during their shift.
Chris is excited to become a freshman at the local high school, until Joe warns Chris about the Freshman Hunt, a hazing ritual in which the freshmen are beaten with paddles by Upperclassman, and even school staff. When Chris shows up at school Lois, after falsely assuring him it is not real, shouts "Freshman!" to lure over other students. After a short chase Chris is caught and paddled by several people, including Mayor Adam West (a parody of a scene from the film Dazed and Confused, complete with Alice Cooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy" playing). Chris asks Brian for advice on how to cope, and Brian tells Chris about his time in the Peace Corps. Chris decides to join the Corps and goes to South America, where he becomes popular with the natives. When he leads the tribe in a dance ("Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go"), he unwittingly marries the chief’s daughter, as dictated by the tribe's customs.
In the meantime, Peter, who has been unemployed for some time, goes to work at the Pawtucket Brewery, where the beer is free as long as employees do not drink during their shift. However, Peter cannot control his drinking and he is demoted to the shipping department (where drinking is not permitted), where he ends up as a subordinate to Opie, an intellectually disabled but somewhat more qualified man who speaks in unintelligible babbling.
