“Family Gay” – the full episode and review

Okay, so what did you think of “Family Gay”? I have to admit I thought it was one of the weakest Family Guy episodes EVER. I don’t think I laughed even once, and that’s pretty rare for me.

The episode started with Peter buying a “special” horse that ate up all their extra money, so Peter decides to work for some extra money by participating in a medical experiment. He’s injected with the “gay gene” and fully embraces this new persona, moving in with his boyfriend Steve, cooking, not having sex with Lois, and a whole bunch of really stereotypical gay jokes that really fell flat.

Finally, Brian takes pity on Lois and him and Stewie kidnap Peter and force him into a straight camp, where he’s told to beat up a fellow camper with baseball bats. Pretty much goes on in the same vein from there, with predictably Peter recovering from the gay gene right in the middle of a gay orgy.

Honestly? The whole thing felt recycled, with even the same cancelled Fox shows joke at the beginning. This could have been so much better.

    I’m sick of all the gay episodes. Stop the liberal agenda and just do comedy.

    My fiance and I are Family Guy addicts. We have been obsessed when way way back in the day, before it was cancelled the first time. We also thought it was one of the weakest episodes thus far. I also thought they pushed it a bit far for TV.

    We all know that Family Guy is adult humor. Personally, that is why I like it. I am rarely offended or shocked by things on the show. I did, though, think that they pushed this a little too far. Plus, it just wasn’t that great of an episode.
