The fictional version of Adam West on the animated television series Family Guy is a caricature of actor Adam West, who also supplies his voice.

Mayor West is an intense, soft-spoken lunatic whose delusional acts are often based on nonsensical ideas or thoughts and often come at great expense and sometimes risk to the taxpayers, such as using public money to fund an investigation into "Who's stealing his water" when it's added to flowers or poured in a sink,^[2] erecting a gold plated statue of the Dig 'Em Frog or dispatching the entire Quahog police force to Colombia to assist in the rescue of the fictional protagonists of Romancing the Stone.

In typical Family Guy continuity, his delusional reality spills into the reality of the show, such as when he warned Meg about Domino's Pizza's mascot the Noid really ruining pizza, then catches and brutally kills the Noid in front of Meg.

West does not appear to have family. His romantic entanglements include once having slept with Luke Perry, and an intimate but chaste liaison with then-intern Meg Griffin.^[2]

As Mayor of Quahog, Adam West is the city’s most powerful civil servant, able to spend the entire city budget on anything he sees fit. It is occasionally hinted that he may be involved in corrupt activity. He accepts bribes to allow Industrial companies to dump waste in public waters and fears a visit from the District Attorney.^{[citation needed]}

Despite his incompetence, Adam West retains his office. He has only been voted out of office once, by Lois in "It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One", however he is put back in office after Lois resigns.

Mayor west is also featured as Grand Moff Tarkin in the Star Wars spin-off episode Blue Harvest.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane wrote several episodes of the cartoon series Johnny Bravo. West played a similarly intense and eccentric rendition of himself in an episode written by MacFarlane, Johnny Meets Adam West, first broadcast in December 1997.^[3] In the episode, West's fictionalized persona displays similar delusional characteristics to the later Family Guy character, such as believing a race of megalomaniac mole-people live under a local golf course. Seth MacFarlane found Adam West's character and performance in Johnny Bravo so funny that he created a similar character for Family Guy.^[4]
