Jake Tucker, Upside Down Face Boy
Jake Tucker is Tom Tucker’s deformed son and Chris’ former classmate. He has an upside-down face. Due to this fact, Tom tries to make him feel as normal as possible and spoils him very much. (For example, when rejected by the judges of “Kids say the Darndest Things” audition, Tom decides to make up “their own show” although Jake does not want to).
In Season Five’s episode of Boys Do Cry, it is proven that he sees upside down. Jake auditions for the church organist by playing the William Tell Overture. He plays random notes in absolute discord until Tom flips the sheet.
Jake was framed by Stewie and Brian for drug possession out of revenge for giving Chris vodka and denying it afterwards and sentenced to 200 hours of community service.
In the episode It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One, Jake’s face is flipped right-side-up due to exposure to toxic waste, though he found himself horrified by his altered appearance rather than relieved. However, in Blue Harvest, when Jake made a cameo, his face was upside down again. This suggests that, although the story was obviously non-canon, Jake’s face is back to “normal” as well. - source
- Jake Tucker, son of famed baritone newsman Tom Tucker has a distinct characteristic: his face is upside down. Therefore, words like “freak” upset him quite a bit. An always rambunctious trouble maker, he attends Buddy Cianci Junior High School with Chris Griffin where he got young Chris in trouble by bringing alcohol to a dance. He later is arrested for drug possession and sentenced to 200 hours of community service due to a setup plotted by Brian and Stewie with help from the Greased-up Deaf Guy, after a talk with Tom Tucker, during the talk Brian Griffin inadvertently mentions his kids face but only Stewie Griffin notices it. Jake also never learned how to wipe because he does not have a bottom. He once went to audition for Bill Cosby’s “Kids Say the Darnedest Things,” but due to his appearance, he was skipped. This provoked Tom to promise Jake that they’d make their own TV show. He also can play the piano as he tried out for the organist in episode “Boys Do Cry”. - source

Jake Tucker quote:
Tom Tucker and son Jake with the upside down face are waiting to audition for “kids say the darndest things”, but due to his appearance, he was skipped.
Tom: [sighs] “You know what we’re gonna do? We’re gonna get the video camera out, and we’ll make our own show.”
Jake: “I don’t wanna!”
Tom: (firmly, pointing his finger at him) “YES YOU DO.” “YOU DO BECAUSE IT’S NORMAL!”
Then his lip quivers
