New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski moves to Quahog while Brian and Stewie go into the beekeeping business.
Tropes:
- Adam Westing: Rob Gronkowski voices himself.
- Artificial Human: According to Rob's father (real-life name Gordon), Rob and his brothers aren't actually normal humans at all, but the result of him "blammin'" onto a large side of beef.
- Breakfast in Bed: A Cutaway Gag features Peter having "breakfast in bread"—eating breakfast in bed while most of his body is in a giant loaf of bread.Peter: Hi, Lois. It's a great morning, no matter how you slice it.Lois: I don't know what this is, Peter, but we're four months behind on our mortgage.Peter: Well, that's odd. It's not like we're short on dough.Lois: I'm taking the kids and I'm staying at my parents' for a while.Peter: That's the yeast of my concerns.
- Butt-Monkey: Unsurprisingly Meg, Stewie uses her to distract the bees in order for him and Brian to escape the latter's car when the bees surround them.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Once Gronkowski wears out his welcome with his nonstop partying and their attempt to get him to leave fails, Peter and the guys try to kick his ass. Keyword being "try", because four middle-aged men (including one who's paralyzed from the waist down and one who's pushing 62) picking a fight with a professional football player who's built like a tank goes about as well as you'd expect. In fact, Gronk beats all four of them with ease with one arm, while scarfing down Subway sandwiches with the other.Joe: That's his third sub!!
- Dumb Jock: Gronk mistakes Peter and friends for dogs, calls everyone "Grover" instead of their real names, thinks leprechauns are real, and doesn't know the word "alphabet".
- Exit, Pursued by a Bear: Gronk flees the neighborhood after a queen bee lands on his body and all the other bees in the hive begin chasing him down.
- Groin Attack: Gronk does this to Peter with a towel whip when Peter tries to get him to wrap up his party. He does it again in one of Peter's cutaways.
- Product Placement: Gronk's house is filled extravagant luxuries provided to him by various corporations, such as a hot tub filled with coffee that you can dip donuts into (sponsored by Dunkin' Donuts), a swimming pool filled with alphabet soup (sponsored by Campbell's Soup), and a shower that sprays Ultra Sunrise Monster Energy Drink (sponsored by Monster Energy Drink).Cleveland: Why do you keep saying what things are sponsored by?Gronk: My manager said if I don't, I won't go to Heaven. Sponsored by SMS Audio Sweatproof Sport Headphones.
- Scary Stinging Swarm: To speed up honey production, Stewie uses steroids on the bees, resulting in him and Brian being faced with a horde of pissed-off killer bees.
- Weaksauce Weakness: The incredibly tough and strong Rob Gronkowski turns out to be terrified of the common honeybee (these particular bees were actually steroid-infused monsters, but he didn't know that), and both him and his family flee town.
