Family Guy Guys

Family Guy Season 2 Episode 6 "Death Is a Bitch" recap and review: Jason, Tyler, and Collin are joined by guest Matty Francis to break down Peter faking his own death to dodge a hospital bill, the Grim Reaper spraining his ankle chasing him, and everybody on Earth going immortal while Death recuperates on the Griffin couch.

For fans of U Talkin’ U2 to Me?, Doughboys, The Sloppy Boys, and Cumtown: three longtime improv-comedian friends using a Family Guy rewatch as an excuse to escalate bits, spin off into our version of cutaway gags, and occasionally discuss the episode.

Family Guy Season 2 Episode 5 "Love Thy Trophy" recap and review, with special guest Sallie Bowen, the first woman ever allowed on Family Guy Guys. Jason, Tyler, Collin, and Sallie break down the Who's the Boss float, Meg's Prada purse crisis, and the golden trophy whodunit, and then Jason hits the wrong button and kills the recording mid-episode.

The neighbors build a float Peter can't stop winning with, Meg lies her way into a waitressing job, and Stewie gets cranked on pancakes while everyone accuses each other of stealing the trophy. Along the way they get into Lacey...

Family Guy Season 2 Episode 4 "Brian in Love" recap and review: Jason, Tyler, and Collin watch Brian piss on the carpet, frame a baby for it, and finally admit he's in love with Lois, which is the most plot this show has committed to all season. The ratings land all over the map, so one (or two!) of these three men is wrong and the other two (or one!) are never letting him (or them!) hear the end of it.

The guys get into Gary Janetti's return as the show's resident dog boy, a Mr. Rogers cold open...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Family Guy Season 1 Episode 6, "The Son Also Draws," gets the Family Guy Guys treatment: On the Family Guy episode, Chris wants to quit scouts to focus on his art, we find out Hot Lois is a degenerate gambler, Peter goes on a (pretty unearned) vision quest, and the episode treats Native Americans with exactly as much care and respect as you probably would expect.

On the pod ep, Jason, Collin, and Tyler discuss the episode's surprisingly decent early gags, a suspicious "Love, Actually" sign connection, the eternal quest to find out whether Stewie is (literally) understood, ANOTHER...

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<...

Family Guy Season 1 Episode 4 "Mind Over Murder" recapped by Family Guy Guys podcast: Peter builds an illegal bar in the basement, ignores Lois completely, and somehow turns her into a local piano star.

Jason, Tyler, and Collin break down the Mentos cold open, the weaponized incompetence angle, and Stewie's time machine subplot, then hand out this episode's ratings. Would it surprise you to hear this was a divisive one?

Family Guy Guys is a rewatch podcast. Three lifelong improv comedians going through every single episode of Family Guy, one gag, one bit, one therapy session...

Family Guy Guys returns for Family Guy Season 1, Episode 3, "Chitty Chitty Death Bang." Jason, Tyler, and Collin revisit Stewie's first birthday, Peter's party-planning disaster, Meg's strange new friend, and one extremely committed cult.

This week: crotch cams, an AI that fact-checked itself into oblivion, and Louis C.K. ruins our playthrough of a video game called Good Cop, Bad Brother. Is Stewie gay yet? Is Brian still a dud? Will we hear another ex-wife story? Tune in and find out on this episode of Family Guy Guys.

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 of...

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 lo...

Three lifelong friends explain the premise of Family Guy Guys, a podcast where they rewatch Family Guy episode by episode and immediately talk about it after. Jason, Tyler, and Colin lay out the real concept: a rewatch show that also pays homage to Family Guy's own cutaway gags, complete with random detours like Gary Coleman and Stewie's confiscated foreskin. The three of them are longtime improv comedians, so the conversations after each episode run unfiltered and off the cuff, less like a review show and more like the same riffing they'd do after any set.
