Road House is a 1989 American action film directed by Rowdy Herrington and starring Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliott as bouncers at a seedy roadside bar who protect a small town in Missouri from a corrupt businessman. It was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Picture, Worst Director and Worst Actor, all losing to Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.[1]

In "Brian's Got a Brand New Bag", Peter Griffin buys the DVD from a going out of business sale at Quahog Video. After watching the film, Peter begins to believe that all of life's problems can be solved by kicking. After kicking his target, he would say the film's name as a catchphrase of sorts. The episode was dedicated to Swayze, having aired only 47 days after Swayze's death from pancreatic cancer. He would say the film's name in the same manner in "Business Guy" and "Trading Places".

In "Family Guy Viewer Mail No. 2", "Neville", the British Peter repeats "Row House" in reference to their home.

After experiencing explosive diarrhea in "Call Girl" he declares "Brown House."
