    Holy Crap // "Rosie O'Donnell's WAP Era" | Episode #009 | Family Guy Guys

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Family Guy Season 2 Episode 2 "Holy Crap" recap and review: Jason, Tyler, and Collin break down Peter Griffin kidnapping the Pope to impress his terrifying Catholic dad, and the episode somehow goes off the rails from there. The guys meet Grandpa Griffin for the first time, voiced by two-time Oscar nominee Charles Durning, and watch Peter get desperate enough for his father's approval to commit a federal crime. Along the way they get into the Janet Jackson unc shooting poison, Rosie O'Donnell's 1999 WAP era, the concept of Ma, the 2026 Religion Draft, why Mr. Weed might be the best character on the show, Tyler's first Hinge date in two and a half years, the structurehead vs gagger divide, and whether Dick Van Dyke is swagless or still chopped. 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.

    Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater // "(Peter Griffin's) House M.D." | Episode #008 | Family Guy Guys

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Family Guy season 2, episode 1, "Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater": the Family Guy Guys kick off their own second season with guest Tim Brewer, who joined mainly because he wanted an excuse to watch Family Guy. Correct answer. Aunt Marguerite comes to visit and is immediately dead, which nearly breaks Tim. The Griffins inherit a Newport mansion, Peter bids $100 million he does not have at a charity auction, and Brian teaches him to be a gentleman via shock therapy, which works until it doesn't. Stewie makes the servants fight to the death, Brian gets fully drunk for the first time and smacks Lois's ass, and the guys ask the important questions: are vampires circumcised, why does everyone in this family have the same nose, and what do you do if your house dog smacks your wife's ass (you put him down). Also covered: the Trojan Horse had a door in its balls, Colin did not cry during The Passion of the Christ and is going to hell, AI episode prep gets gaslit again, and the number one listenership remains military drones. Family Guy Guys is three longtime improv friends (plus whatever guest they tricked this week) watching every episode of Family Guy in order, no breaks, for what could be ten years. Take the Myers-Briggs-style quiz at https://familyguyguys.com to find out if you're a Structurehead or a Gagger. Fellas, what are you doing if a dog walks up and smacks your wife's ass? Wrong answers in the comments. #FamilyGuy #FamilyGuyGuys #PeterPeterCaviarEater #Podcast

    "Brian: Portrait of a Dog" // "Brian Wants To Bang Lois" | Episode #007 | Family Guy Guys

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Family Guy Season 1 Episode 7 recap: "Brian: Portrait of a Dog," where Brian enters a dog show for $500, ends up in prison, and Peter defends him in court. Jason Hackett, Tyler Simpson, and Collin Brown are joined by first-time guest Danny Neely, who hasn't watched Family Guy in over ten years and jumps in cold on episode seven. Danny declares himself a structure head, then immediately gets tested by an episode with barely any Chris or Meg dialogue. The Dud-or-Stud rating system comes out for the barbershop quartet gag, Plessy v. Ferguson, and an ironically unplanned Roe v. Wade tangent. The guys argue over whether Lois is the one being weirdly horny in the leather collar scene, debate if Brian even deserves sympathy since "he doesn't do anything," and vote the deer-hitting-the-car gag the best joke of the episode. Stewie gets his usual Gay Watch check-in, Michael Ian Black's Cameo budget gets its own emergency meeting, and things end with an Inception detour that somehow results in Tyler getting fictionally pregnant. 00:00:00 – Cold Open & Guest Intro (Danny Neely) 00:11:49 – Housekeeping: Paywall, Where to Watch, First-Timer Recap 00:19:53 – Structure Head vs. Gagger, Episode Revealed: "Brian: Portrait of a Dog" 00:26:49 – Recap Begins: Heat Wave, Tom Tucker, Brian's Season-Long Attitude 00:47:06 – Dog Show Setup: Barbershop Quartet, Patreon Bit, Lois's Leather Collar 01:25:19 – Brian Runs Away: Water Fountain, Tennis Ball Search, Caught & Jailed 01:29:27 – Prison Arc: MacGyver Bit, Budget Meeting, Self-Suck Debate, Inception Tangent 01:44:28 – Courtroom, Ten-Dollar-Bill Joke, Season One Wrap-Up 02:00:56 – Ratings: Danny, Colin, Tyler, Jason, and Sign-Off Family Guy Guys is a rewatch podcast where three longtime improv comedians go through all 461 Family Guy episodes in order, arguing about whether a joke works, whether the show is secretly Seth MacFarlane working something out, and whether Brian has ever done anything for this family. Is Lois into Brian, or is he just projecting? Tell us where you land in the comments. #FamilyGuy #FamilyGuyGuys #FamilyGuyRecap #BrianPortraitOfADog #ComedyPodcast

    "A Hero Sits Next Door" // "Alan Orca" | Episode #005 | Family Guy Guys

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Family Guy Guys podcast recap: Jason Hackett, Tyler Simpson, and Collin Brown watch an early "origin story" episode of Family Guy with special guest Christian Hughes, who breaks in as the show's first ever guest. The guys cover Joe Swanson's introduction, including his wheelchair reveal, his softball ringer scheme against Guillermo at the Happy Go Lucky Toy Factory, and his wife Bonnie played by Jennifer Tilly. Christian weighs in on Stewie Gay Watch (still ruled very straight, very aggressive) and helps activate a brand new Mister Weed Gay Watch which is almost immediately successful and decommissioned. T he episode also gets a verdict on the bingo eye gag, we meet Collin's mom (very famous), and Christian's own breakdown of whether he counts as a "gagger" or a "structurehead". Somewhere in the middle, Peter's face turns into Mickey Mouse and Jason has to explain fair use to anyone watching this instead of paying for the real show. Family Guy Guys is a rewatch podcast where three longtime improv comedians go through every episode of Family Guy in order, arguing about jokes, structure, and whether Seth MacFarlane is working something out through Stewie.

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Family Guy Guys Episode 2: "I Never Met the Dead Man" — Peter teaches Meg to drive and immediately turns the town's satellite dish into scrap metal, knocking out TV for the entire town. Three comedians continue their in-order rewatch of every Family Guy episode, one disaster at a time. This episode: an AI tries to summarize the season for us and starts inventing cults out of thin air, a deep dive into Jedi semen retention, a brief and unearned Al Pacino tangent, and enough convertible stories to make your head spin. We also meet a Cajun guy, kill off a Wire Guy Guys spinoff idea because frankly they were rude, and go on the record confirming that Family Guy Guys does not tolerate a visible Adam's apple. If you have one, this isn't the show for you. Sorry. This is Family Guy Guys: a rewatch podcast covering all 461 episodes of Family Guy in order.

    "Death Has a Shadow" // "We Cranked Our Hogs Pretty Hard" | Episode #001 | Family Guy Guys

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Family Guy Guys Episode 1: "Death Has a Shadow" — the Family Guy series pilot, which aired January 31, 1999 right after Super Bowl XXXIII, to an audience of millions who had just watched the Broncos beat the Falcons and were not remotely prepared for what came next. Three comedians recap Family Guy from the very beginning, episode by episode, in order, for reasons that made more sense when we came up with the idea. This episode: the format gets introduced and immediately derailed, Stewie Gay Watch officially launches (verdict: not yet), Tyler reveals he watched the original 1999 broadcast at age eight and loved it, Collin didn't see it until middle school and we judge him accordingly, and Jason plays the theme song entirely too loud. This is Family Guy Guys: a rewatch podcast covering all four hundred sixty one episodes of Family Guy in order.
