"Run, Chris, Run" is the nineteenth episode of the fourteenth season of the animated sitcom Family Guy, and the 268th episode overall. It aired on Fox in the United States on May 15, 2016, and is written by Damien Fahey and directed by Julius Wu. The title is a play on the 1998 German film Run Lola Run.

During lunchtime at school, Principal Shepherd reminds the students to nominate for this year's Homecoming King. After a brief discussion, Chris is nominated by his only friend, Neil Goldman. At home, Chris announces the news to Lois, Brian, and Stewie, to Lois' concern. The next day, Chris unexpectedly wins the election, much to the surprise of Lois, Brian, and Stewie, who had come to console him after he lost.

Meanwhile, at the Drunken Clam, Cleveland leaves for a moment to go to the bathroom. Peter, Joe, and Quagmire head out, leaving Cleveland to pay the bill for the boys. Cleveland complains to Jerome, and they bond over more drinks. Later, Cleveland ditches his friends to hang out with Jerome, surprising them. Wanting to get Cleveland back, they decide to try and win him back through antics such as dancing foolishly on his lawn. All of these efforts are met with failure as Cleveland continues to spend time with Jerome.

At home, Lois and Peter give Chris plenty of respect and congratulations for his success, causing him to act like a King. Meg however is skeptical about the votes and believes that they are part of an elaborate prank. Brian and Stewie go to the school to clarify this. They attempt to disguise themselves and sneak in, but Brian gets distracted by two attractive teens and is subsequently thrown out of the school. At night, they see a news story about Chris, 'a fat spazz,' becoming homecoming king, and realize after hearing his interviewed classmates responses that he was elected because the kids pitied him. When Chris comes home he continues to believe he is a King of high importance and power, much to Stewie and Brian's irritation. The next day, as Chris continues to annoy them with his ego, an exasperated Brian reveals the truth to a skeptical Chris.
