'''''Unidentified Flying Outrage!''''' is a book which [[Bart]] bought at [[Books! Books!

Bart became interested in [[UFO|UFOs]] when he thought he saw one outside his bedroom window and asked his parents to investigate (interrupting them in the middle of a romantic encounter). [[Marge]] found that the "UFO" was an old golf umbrella stuck in a tree, but Bart still wasn't convinced. He asked to sleep with his parents, to which Marge quickly said "no".

The next day, the family went on a book-shopping trip to Books! Books! And Additional Books!, and Bart bought a copy of ''Unidentified Flying Outrage!''. He started reading the book and quickly became interested in conspiracy theories involving UFOs. His interest was fueled by the suddenly-appearing behavior among the town's adults of rushing home and immediately going indoors (which was actually due to the introduction of [[Simpson & Son Revitalizing Tonic]]). Bart and the neighborhood kids, however, knowing nothing of the tonic, developed an elaborate theory involving the {{w|RAND Corporation}}, the "saucer people" and "[[Made-up words#Reverse Vampires|reverse vampires]]" to explain the adults' behavior.

The outcome of the kids' investigation isn't known. Presumably it dissolved after Bart finished reading ''Unidentified Flying Outrage!'' and after Simpson & Son Revitalizing Tonic's initial wave of popularity died down.

The Road to... episodes, also known as the Family Guy Road shows, are a series of episodes in the animated series Family Guy. They are a parody of the seven Road to... comedy films, starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour, which were released from 1940 until 1962. These episodes usually involve talking baby Stewie Griffin, and his anthropomorphic dog, Brian in some foreign, supernatural or science fiction location not familiar to the show's normal location in Quahog, Rhode Island. The first, titled "Road to Rhode Island", aired on May 30, 2000, as a part of the second season. The episodes are known for featuring elaborate musical numbers, similar to the original films. As of 2011, there are six Road to episodes. The newest, "Road to the North Pole", aired on December 12, 2010.

The Road to episodes contain several signature elements, including a special version of the opening sequence, custom musical cues and musical numbers, and parodies of science fiction and fantasy films. Many of the episodes are popular among television critics, and have been nominated for several awards. In 2000, "Road to Rhode Island" was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award in the "Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour)" category. In 2009, "Road to Germany", along with two other episodes from the seventh season, were nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award in the "Outstanding Comedy Series" category, the first time in 48 years an animated series was nominated for the same award.[src]
