It's been a banner year for "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane. Following the huge success of his first feature film, MacFarlane wowed audiences with a tremendous hosting stint on the season premier of SNL, all of which arguably led to him being tapped as the host of next February's Academy Awards--one of the highest honors in all of showbiz. 

As a tribute to all of his recent successes, we've decided to honor the comedic mastermind by paying tribute to the horse that's got him this far. Cutaway gags have always been a huge part of the show's success, so we decided to compile Peter and company's best. 

*Note. As you likely know, Family Guy is one of the furthest things from politically correct. No matter your nationality, race, or religion, prepare to be offended. 

**Double Note: Cutaway gags are defined as sequential break in the action. I.e, the "Chicken Fights" or "The Bird is the Word" are not considered cutaway gags.
