Jonathan Weed was a character in the animated television series, Family Guy. His voice was played by Carlos Alazraqui. His role in the series was as the boss of the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory, where Peter Griffin worked.

Mr. Weed died at The Griffin's home when he choked to death on a dinner roll. Before his death Brian asked why his last name is 'Weed". He replies his father changed the family name on Ellis Island after his real last name was "Bermuda Grass". After his death the toy factory was demolished to make way for The Happy-Go-Lucky Terminal Disease Institute. He played and managed the company's baseball team named the "Quahog Toy Boys".

Although never stated, jokes about his homosexuality were frequent and he hired a lawyer named Guillermo who may have been his boyfriend since Jonathan knew he was allergic to penicillin and white zinfandel, and he appears in Jonathan's video last will and testament. Apparently, Guillermo taped half the video will over to show Mr. Weed cooking breakfast in his underwear, only to have Weed blush and say "Please, turn that off! I don't have my face on, I am ugly!" Also, after a stone penis from the Statue of David is thrown into his house, he picks it up, strokes it, and proclaims "I shall call you Eduardo!" He also takes Peter's suggested toy at a conference, called Mr. Zucchini Head (a joke on Mr. Potato Head), which resembled a penis that vibrated, carrying homosexual connotations, into his office with him.

Exactly why Seth MacFarlane decided to kill off Mr. Weed is not known, although in DVD commentaries MacFarlane and his staff describe how they originally planned to have Peter get a new job every season. Killing off Mr. Weed and thus demolishing the toy factory may or may not have been a way to force Peter to get a new job.
