"Killer Queen" is the sixteenth episode of the tenth season of the animated comedy series Family Guy. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on March 11, 2012. When Peter and Chris go away to fat camp, they cross paths with a serial killer who targets overweight teens. Meanwhile, Stewie is traumatized by the cover of the Queen album News of the World. The title of the episode is based on the Queen song of the same name which plays during the end credits.
This episode was written by Spencer Porter and directed by Joseph Lee. It features the guest performances of H. Jon Benjamin, Jackson Douglas, Christine Lakin, Jeff Ross, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Oliver Vaquer, and Robert Wu, along with several recurring voice actors for the series. The episode received fairly positive reviews from critics.
Peter and Chris learn of a local hot dog eating contest on the local news, so Peter enters Chris in it. While Peter and Chris try to find an old possession in the attic for $50, the amount Chris needs to enter the contest, Brian comes across News of the World, a 1977 album by Queen. Stewie is immediately frightened of the giant robot on album that is pictured just having killed the members of Queen, so Brian pays Peter and Chris $50 for the album to be able to mess with Stewie's head. But when Stewie attempts suicide, Brian convinces him that it is just an album and that "most" of Queen are fine today.
