[Stewie] Ha! What is this? It’s incredible. It’s like, I mean, one must presume the car was on the way to eat at home, but, you know, because restaurants have a reputation of convenience and deliciousness, the driver was forced to veer away, putting other drivers at risk. But that just underscores how much better restaurants are than home. That’s what makes it funny. That’s why we’re all laughing.

[Brian] Have you never seen a meme?

[Stewie] A meme? What the devil is that?

[Brian] People take an image and put some stupid little text on it and think they’re funny. Memes are basically Mad Libs for personality.

[Stewie] [chuckles] Take it easy. They’re free.

[Brian] No, they take zero thought or effort, like movies for Kevin Costner.

[director] Okay, so your character’s in a cowboy hat looking way off in the distance.

[Kevin Costner] What if it’s just kind of off in the distance?

[director] Uh, sure. And you’re having a really hard time.

[Kevin Costner] What if it’s just kind of a hard time?

[director] That should work. Oh, and the leading lady is young, but I’m guessing you prefer kind of young?

[Kevin Costner] Nah, I won’t push back on that one.

[Peter] Ah, never gonna have a better opportunity. Excuse me, sir. Okay, you’re out on the water. Settle a bet between me and Cleveland. Is the Little Mermaid black?

[sailor] I don’t know about that, but I’m a Navy SEAL, so I’m legally required to inform you that I killed bin Laden.

[Joe] If that’s true, what’s his first name?

[sailor] Osama.

[Joe] This guy’s the real deal.

[Peter] Do you think whales ate him by now?

[sailor] Actually, based on where we dumped him and the way the ocean historically moves, he could be near Quahog.

[Peter] Wait a minute. Guys, if we got a boat and found bin Laden, we could charge people five bucks to kick him in the balls.

[Joe] Or the butt.

[Peter] Yeah, sure. Balls or butt. Who’s in?

[Joe] In.

[Cleveland] In.

[Quagmire] In.

[Peter] Thank you for your service.

Oh, I’m not a sailor. I’m just a Brazilian guy in my everyday clothes.

[Peter] Oh. Then thank you for your outside dancing.

It’s nothing. I’ll see you outside. Samba, samba, samba.

[Stewie] Hey, Brian, are vegans known for like always talking about being vegans?

[Brian] Uh, yeah, I guess.

[Stewie] [chuckles] Click on that.

[Brian] This makes zero sense.

[Stewie] No, because vegans are always, like, telling you they’re vegan, right?

[Brian] Okay.

[Stewie] And see, it says “nobody” because, like, nobody asked, right? But this guy, our protagonist, he doesn’t care. No, no, he doesn’t care about the nobody. He’s just gonna jump on in there and give you his two bits. But like nobody asked, right? That’s why it says “nobody” up top. Isn’t that hilarious?

[Brian] Yeah, I’m trying to work.

[Stewie] Yeah, I should get back to work, too.

[Brian] Forwarding memes isn’t work.

[Stewie] Well, the Internet begs to differ. I’m getting a lot of likes on my posts.

[Brian] They’re not your posts. You’re not doing anything original.

[Stewie] Says the guy writing a script called Barbie 3.

[Brian] Yeah, because somebody’s probably already doing Barbie 2.

[Stewie] Yeah, I think we’re doing the same level of original. [laughs] Look at this one. It… It’s based on the game, “Rock, paper, scissors.” That’s why it’s funny. But this baby, like, I’m already laughing. Can you even?

[Brian] [sighs] So this was your idea?

[Stewie] No.

[Brian] But you found the pictures?

[Stewie] No.

[Brian] Well, you must have come up with the text.

[Stewie] No, but I knew the perfect time to hit send. That’s what it’s all about.

[Brian] You didn’t do anything.

[Stewie] No, no, Brian, it’s like this. The meme is the plane and I’m the pilot, right? So sometimes the plane goes on autopilot. But I’m still at the controls drinking Diet Cokes.

[Brian] So you’re the autopilot of comedy?

[Stewie] I get you from not laughing Rhode Island to laughing Rhode Island.

[Brian] It takes one hour drive diagonally across the entire state.

[Stewie] Oh, I should have said Texas.

[Peter] You know, Lois said it’s stupid to look for bin Laden’s corpse because a drunk guy at a bar said to. But look at us!

[Joe] I’m getting kind of hungry. What’d you bring for eats, Peter?

[Peter] Wheat Thins and Costco muffins. That’s all guys need.

[Quagmire] Peter, that is a home run.

[Cleveland] Out of the park.

[Joe] I was smiling as soon as you said it.

[Peter] Lois looked sad when she saw the food.

[Quagmire] No, it’s good food. You did really good.

[Peter] Wives just want us to do what they want.

[Cleveland] Say less, King.

[Peter] You know, it’s so easy and fun with you guys out here. Sometimes I wish the world was just guys.

[all scream]

[Peter] Oh, my God! We’ve been struck by lightning!

[Cleveland] I think I possibly took the brunt of it.

[all screaming]

[all gasping]

[Peter] Oh, my God! The boat!

[Joe] Yeah, we might be out here for a while, so someone needs to carry the conversation. Did you guys know that Triscuit is short for electric biscuit? Also, there are no raccoons in Alaska.

[Peter] Let’s just all drown quietly to ourselves.

[Peter] [groaning] I’ll start. Joe was a true friend.

[Cleveland] I’m gonna miss him so much.

[Quagmire] And we should probably start sorting out who’s going after Bonnie.

[Joe] Nice try, wisenheimers.

[Peter] Joe! How’d you make it in?

[Joe] My chair floats. How about you guys?

[Peter] We clung to old graduation balloons and one turtle who was caught in the ribbon.

[turtle] A little help with the ribbon?

[Peter] We’re not supposed to touch you, because then your mom won’t take you back.

[turtle] My mom died before America was formed.

[Peter] Oh, yeah. You guys live a long time, huh?

[turtle] Yeah, I was in the turtle brigade in the Civil War.

[Peter] Which side?

[turtle] Don’t ask which side.

[Peter] Does anybody’s phone work?

[Quagmire] Nah.

[Cleveland] Nope.

[Joe] Negative.

[Cleveland] We need to find shelter for the night.

[Quagmire] Oh, my God! A house!

[Joe] Whoa! It looks like a villain’s lair.

[Peter] Yeah, it’s like RoboCop’s beach house from the ’80s future.

[Quagmire] Word of caution. If you run around in socks in this place, you are definitely slipping, my friends.

[Joe] I’m zonked. I’m gonna crash.

[Peter] Yeah, me too. I call the master bedroom.

[Cleveland] It’s called a primary bedroom now.

[Peter] Oh, I’m so sorry. I’ll be in the bedroom primary-bating.

[Tom] Good evening. I’m Tom Tucker. Coming up, one side of a local news station, falling into a sinkhole. But first, wreckage from a Quahog boat was just spotted a few miles off the coast of famous gay party spot, Fire Island.

[Lois] [gasps] I wonder if that’s Peter’s boat! Damn! Right to voicemail.

[voicemail] Hey, this is Pete. Single and ready to mingle.

[beeps]

[Lois sighs]

[panting]

[Brian] There we go. That ought to break someone’s ankle this summer.

[Stewie] Dogs and holes. Name a more iconic duo. I’ll wait.

[Brian] What?

[Stewie] No, I’m just saying. This is a mood.

[Brian] How is this a mood? Elaborate.

[Stewie] No, I’m just saying I was today years old when I learned dogs are vindictive.

[Brian] Why are you talking like that?

[Stewie] I’m in my meme phase, Brian. When I can’t see them, I talk like them.

[Chris] My man talks like a Internet now.

[Brian] Well, stop it. It’s stupid.

[Stewie] Cranky writer upset at friends’ fun. Didn’t have that on my 2026 bingo card.

[Chris] Bingo card is so good! [laughs]

[Brian] What– What– What bingo card? Show me the card.

[Stewie] Well, it’s more about what’s not on the bingo card, so…

[Chris] Yeah, it’s what’s not on there, Brian.

[Brian] Also, don’t bingo cards just have numbers and not entire phrases?

[Stewie] Yeah, you kind of… you kind of have to be funny to get it.

[Brian] All right, I’m going in. You’re making no sense.

[Stewie] I think what you mean to say is “The math ain’t mathing. Period. Full stop.”

[Brian] Yeah, you don’t have to say full stop. That’s… that’s what a period is.

[Meg] Yo, we talking about periods?

[Joe] Let me let you in on a little toothbrushing secret. Crest.

[Peter] How is Crest a secret?

[Joe] Shh.

[Quagmire] This was all there was in the closet.

[Peter] Yeah, same here. Do we look chic? What’s chic?

[Cleveland] O-M-G! Look at all us chic ass boys.

[Quagmire] I’ll check on our phones. Still nothing. I can’t believe this.

[Cleveland] Wait. Do you hear that?

[♪ house music playing distantly]

[Peter] These must be the island natives. They clearly have a proud culture of music, dance and flavored vodka.

[Quagmire] Wow. Everybody’s just doing what they like. Those hefty bearded guys are watching the Mets game.

[Joe] And those shiny little jacked guys are playing underwear volleyball.

[Peter] Yeah. Everybody else is drinking, dancing and horsing off in the pool.

[Joe] Is it possible this is Kokomo? It’s checking too many boxes.

[Peter] [gasps] Wait, don’t you see? On the boat, I wished for a world that was just guys. And then we got struck by lightning. I manifested this place into existence. Come on. We gotta fit in with the locals.

[Peter] Hi, I’m Peter. Our boat crashed here, and we slept in a future house with black toilets and white couches.

[Julian] Julian. We all get to the island in our own way. But you’re here and you belong.

[Peter] Are there any women on the island?

[Julian] Just one. Her name is Molly, and she sits in your mouth. Say “Hello, Molly.”

[Peter] Hello, Molly. My God, it feels like Christmas morning.

[Julian] On Fire Island, every day is Christmas.

♪ Spike the drinks with pills of Molly ♪
