"The Peanut Butter Kid" is the eleventh episode of the fourteenth season of the animated sitcom Family Guy, and the 260th episode overall. It aired on Fox in the United States on January 10, 2016, and is written by Artie Johann and directed by Greg Colton. In the episode, Stewie becomes a star in a commercial for peanut butter to help the Griffins who are struggling financially.
When the mail arrives from the bank, the Griffin family prays to God for forgiveness for cyberbullying a girl to death and beg for an expansion of funds as well as a snowmobile. After the prayer, they find they are still low on funds. Lois worries about Stewie's college fund as it is too late for Meg to go to college and Chris is too dumb to get in anywhere. Although Lois comes up with reasonable ideas, Peter decides to search for funds with a metal detector. Upon finding a metal detector in the ground, Peter turns both of them on and finds himself in a white void. He finds Mayor Adam West who asks "Did you also call into a talk show without turning down your radio first?" Soon, Peter finds himself in big trouble when he takes things from other people like Purple Hearts from a military graveyard and stuff at the beach. Lois tells him that his misuse of a metal detector is over and they will be returning the metal detector for the cash.
At the mall, they find auditions for a national commercial for "Scooter's Peanut Butter" is going on and they decide to enter Stewie after Joe Swanson and Bonnie Swanson are planning to enter Susie Swanson in the audition. His teasing of Brian catches the eye of the executives and he is chosen to be the spokesperson. The family friends and neighbors then gather for the premiere of Stewie's commercial and it goes over well. He later receives a check for $2,000 which Lois wants to put away for him, but Peter thinks they should keep a little to celebrate.
Taking the family out to a fancy restaurant, Brian is unsure about exploiting Stewie, but finds he is already lined up for another commercial audition for a cough syrup. When they arrive, they find that the competition has been ratcheted up. Placed on the spot for a quick demonstration of his acting skills, Stewie hurts his balls and finds his parents are not so forgiving on the ride home for his failure.
