Mayor Adam West
Mayor Adam West is a character voiced by actor Adam West on the animated television series Family Guy. He is the mayor of the town of Quahog, Rhode Island, where the show is set. He has appeared on a recurring basis since his first appearance in Season 2.
Mayor West is characterized as an intense, corrupt, soft-spoken crackpot whose delusions often come at great expense and sometimes danger to citizens of Quahog. His psychotic whims include dispatching the entire Quahog police department to Cartagena, Colombia, to search for the fictional character Elaine Wilder from the film Romancing the Stone, or wasting council money on a solid gold statue of the Dig 'Em frog and cementing coffins since he is afraid the dead will return as zombies.
In the episode "420", he legalizes marijuana after listening to a song Brian Griffin sings, only to re-criminalize it a few days later when Brian is forced to sing a song condemning the substance. He is also a brainwashed Russian sleeper spy activated by the phrase "Gosh, that Italian family at the next table sure is quiet". In the episode "Brothers & Sisters", he marries Lois' sister Carol. In "Road to the Multiverse", it is revealed that he is 95% helium. The episode "Dr. C and the Women" strongly suggests he's fully sane and his bizarre antics are actually a smokescreen to throw people off and cover up a dark, murderous side.
Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane wrote several episodes of the cartoon series Johnny Bravo. West played a similarly intense and odd rendition of himself in an episode written by MacFarlane, "Johnny Meets Adam West!", first broadcast in December 1997. In the episode, West's fictionalized persona displays similar deluded characteristics to the later Family Guy character, such as believing a race of megalomaniac mole-people lives under a local golf course. However, he dressed formally and behaved slightly similarly to his character in the 1960s series of Batman. MacFarlane found West's character and performance in Johnny Bravo so funny that he created a similar character for Family Guy.
