Peter becomes convinced that “dthrip” is the single funniest sound ever made. He starts inserting it into everyday life—replacing his car horn, his text notification, even his belch. Lois is annoyed but tolerates it until Peter hires a struggling sound engineer (a deadpan, Seth MacFarlane–voiced hipster) to make “dthrip” the official town alert system.

The town splits into “Dthrippers” (who play the sound at all hours) and “Dthripped-offs” (who smash any device that makes it). A massive brawl erupts at the Clam, set to a chaotically looped “dthrip” beat. Peter, realizing he’s caused a civil war, tries to undo it—only to accidentally replace “dthrip” with an even worse sound: “flump.”

Back at the living room, Peter plays the new “flump” on his phone. Lois silently pours a glass of wine, drinks it in one gulp, and walks out. Stewie looks at the camera and says, “And that, children, is how democracy dies—to a flump.” Cut to Brian sighing into a pillow.

When Peter discovers a bizarre, forgotten noise from his childhood—the “dthrip”—he becomes obsessed with bringing it back, only to unleash a chaotic trend that threatens to tear Quahog apart.
