'Outmatched' Episode 2: Cay and Mike have the 'sex talk' with their little Einsteins and fans are loving it
This article contains spoilers for 'Outmatched' Season 1
Last week's episode of 'Outmatched' set the tone for the hilarity that fans could expect when it came to sexual innuendos, sarcasm and clever joke delivery. This week's episode did not disappoint either as this Atlantic family took on the awkwardness of having the "sex talk". Gifted children have a lot going on in their minds, and the simplicity of what a teenage mind would think of sex is dissolved in their ability to memorize unneeded facts about sex that most children don't know.
In this episode, we see Cay (Maggie Lawson) and Mike (Jason Biggs) take on the daunting task of having "the birds and the bees" conversation with their children. Although what they got was STD death statistics, a biology lesson and how sex is a power struggle from their three oldest — Brian (Connor Kalopsis), Nicole (Ashley Boettcher) and Marc (Jack Stanton). Leila (Oakley Bull), their youngest settled with no questions asked on the "stork dropped the baby off" story.
While the "sex talk" frustrated both the children and their parents, fans couldn't help but relate and laugh at the sarcastic jokes by tweeting the epic dialogues from the characters. Some of the favorites blew up on Twitter.
Brian and Nicole, who freak out about the awkward conversation realize that they must do something about the fact that neither of them has had their first kiss. Nicole decides on a candidate for her first kiss using a well thought out algorithm, of course, while Brian decides to print a "half-face" from a 3D printer to practice on. Referring to his love for "half-face", fans were amused at his admiration.
"'I want her to be happy. That's why I printed her with a smile.' @ConnorKalopsis #Outmatched," tweeted a fan with his favorite Brian quote.
"'I couldn’t kiss the half face. I’ve been woo-ing it for two days.' @ConnorKalopsis #Outmatched" tweeted another fan referring to Brian caving in to the pressure of not being ready to have his first kiss.
When Nicole decides the "half-face" could help her, a fan tweeted love for the agreeably best line in the episode: "'Not kissing the same thermoplastic half-face as my sister, that’s weird.' @BoettcherAshley #Outmatched."
Although, like most sitcom endings, the parents and kids make it out of the unnecessary mental pressure of sex-related antics. Cay and Mike, who had their kids fact sharing get in their heads, went from eight weeks of no sex to spontaneity and acceptance of sparse times. Their youngest got the hint. "'They just storked.' It is barely the second episode and I already found my favorite line. #Outmatched," tweeted a fan referring to when little Leila realized the real reason as to why her parents were happy.
The theme of the episode was also appreciated. "#Outmatched Awesome episode on sex education for both teenagers and adults," tweeted a fan.
Outmatched airs on Thursdays at 7.30 pm CST on FOX.
