Plot Overview

The character of Jesus makes his return in this episode as a central character, his first since "I Dream of Jesus" (from Season 7). Here, the Griffins meet Jesus at Quahog Mall, learn that he is a virgin, and become determined to help him meet women and have sex with them.

Notes

"The 2,000-Year-Old Virgin" was named the Parents Television Council's "Worst Show of the Week" for its plotline involving Peter's attempt to get Jesus to lose his virginity. In receiving the "honor," this was the 50th Family Guy episode to be named "Worst Show of the Week." The episode, and Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane, received extreme criticism for mocking the Christian faith and setting it to a holiday theme, one that has deep religious meaning to billions, and depicting Christ as a sex-crazed, foul-mouthed pervert. L. Brent Bozell III, founder of the Media Research Institute and one-time member of the Parents Television Council, expressed similar views, criticizing the episode's depiction of Jesus as ignorant and depraved, and having a dysfunctional relationship with God, who is seen with a scantily clad woman in at least one scene in this episode, and has been portrayed as a pervert in earlier episodes. Other Twitter posts about the episode varied, ranging from positive to extremely negative.

Trivia

Allusions and References

• The 40-Year-Old Virgin and The 2,000-Year-Old Man: The 2005 romantic comedy starring Steve Carell and the name of the comedy character created by Mel Brooks combine to form the title of this episode.
• "Jesus, Take the Wheel": The 2005 Carrie Underwood song is re-written to take on a literal meaning; Carrie asks for Jesus -- her "boyfriend" -- to take the wheel so she can fire a shotgun back at police officers pursing her speeding vehicle she is driving.
• Parents Television Council: The scene where Peter encourages viewers who are offended by the episode to mail complaints to an organization called the "Family Television Council" is a jab at the entertainment watchdog group and one of the show's most vocal critics.
