Episode notes
Family Guy Season 2 Episode 3 "Da Boom" recap and review: Jason, Tyler, and Collin watch the Y2K apocalypse episode people love, and it causes the biggest ratings split in show history.
Two of the guys land on the love side of the split, with Collin pointing at Mila Kunis showing up as Meg for the first time as a possible factor. Tyler describes the whole thing as pure uncut gag. Jason, who watched the episode in a hot car while his daughter napped, calls it "not my cup of piss" and declares it a Gagger's Delight, which is somehow an indictment.
Along the way they get into the first chicken fight, Peter in Lois' color-swap dress and "unzip me," Stewie as a gay Neil Armstrong, the Tom Selleck beans, the Randy Newman song Jason can still recite from memory, Twinkie the Kid, Quagland and Loretta in New Quahog, and Patrick Duffy washing the entire episode away as a dream. Plus the Stewie Gay Watch gets its biggest movement of the season, the "Oof of the Ep" award splits the room, and Bob of Bob's Artisanal Jib Jabs of Maine keeps derailing the episode to talk about baby Timothee Chalamet.
Family Guy Guys is a comedy rewatch podcast where three improv comedian friends watch every single Family Guy episode in order, clip by clip, with zero pretense and even less structure. New episodes drop on YouTube.
