SSSaaahhhhh

The Peter hurts his knee gag is a running gag on Family Guy. It often occurs when either Peter or another character hurts their knee or another part of their body, sits where they are, grabs that part of their body, winces, inhales sharply through their teeth, and repeatedly whines "Ah!" an excessive number of times. It has occurred five times in the show so far.

Peter's Silver Scroll

In the episode Wasted Talent, after Peter receives the last silver scroll in a bottle of Pawtucket Patriot Ale, someone tells him to run home as fast as he can. Peter does so a la Charlie from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory to the music of "I Got a Golden Ticket." When he finally gets to his house, he trips over himself and hurts his knee.

Peter and the Chumba-Wumbas

In the same episode, after being banned from the tour of the Pawtucket Patriot factory, Peter asks Pawtucket Pat if he even gets a Chumba-Wumba song. Pat obliges, but the Chumba-Wumbas only sing part of the song before kicking Peter in the knee.

Peter as John "Hannibal" Smith

In the episode Brian Goes Back to College, in the fake opening credits for the new incarnation of The A Team, Peter plays John "Hannibal" Smith. In his credit sequence, his jeep rolls over and he grabs his knee.

Lois and the Fox News Contract

In the episode FOX-y Lady, Lois is now the victim. After signing a contract with Fox News, her boss tells her to run home as fast as she can. This sequence is very similar to the gag in "Wasted Talent," except that when she trips, she actually grabs hold of her breast.

The Imperial AT-AT Walker

In Something, Something, Something, Dark Side, when an snowspeeder ropes an Imperial AT-AT Walker by the legs, it drops but then gets up and grabs its knee a la Peter. see the youtube trailer (something, something, something, Dark Side) at 1:29 to 1:44
