Coinciding with the 2024 AP® Physics 1: Algebra-Based exam, Roof Shopping Cart Analysis is the finale to AP Family Guy. It was made as the viral video final project for the AP Physics class. In the video, Lois Griffin walks outside to see her husband Peter is up to wacky antics once again--this time, he is attempting to ride a shopping cart off his roof in the name of AP® Physics 1: Algebra-Based. From across the street, Logan, Grayson and Jake see these events unfold and watch Peter's unfortunate accident; Peter's neck gets moved up a couple notches. The only way to save Peter--and to see if this experiment would be possible to survive in real life--is to have the action explained, which Jake does, discovering that over 6,000 Newtons are exerted on Peter's neck on impact. They give Peter the solution to his injury, "ice now, heat later," and then ensure their result is correct by trying the experiment out in real life. This unfortunately leads to their inability to take the 2024 AP® Physics 1: Algebra-Based exam.

Trivia
Until website version 13.2.0, the video was called Roof Shopping Cart Analysis - AP Family Guy before dropping the "- AP Family Guy". It is still called "Roof Shopping Cart Analysis - AP Family Guy" on YouTube.
The YouTube reupload was initially given the title of "Roof Shopping Cart Analysis - AP Family Guy [Reupload]".
There was originally going to be a clip of Logan on his roof before the off-screen injury, but was cut for time constraints.
In the blooper video, Logan Bauer makes a reference to A Difficult Game when he says "a preponderance of evidence," quoting the lawyer from the film, and also a line said by Grayson Beckham in mock trial.
