Remember “Wife Swap”?
That late 2000s show where two completely opposite families swap matriarchs and hilarity ensues?
We’re obsessed again now that it’s streaming.
The show originally aired on ABC for seven seasons between 2004 and 2013.
But sometimes things get real awkward real fast.
Unlike her home filled with organic groceries and fine art, the Longs enjoyed fast food and ATVs.
Opposites Attract?
You wouldn’t think a husband and wife would be this awkward with each other.
What makes this episode so awkward is the clear unaffectionate feelings between the Smoak spouses.
The couple instead opts to sleep on bunk beds.
Sexy stock music plays in the background, and the cringe intensifies as Glen glows with pride.
“I wish I had her as a wife,” Glen said in a confessional.

“I thought it was very inappropriate.
“Ideally children should always do what they’re told, but they don’t,” Paul said.
I don’t like it at all.”

Mom Stacy is immediately uncomfortable when she gets switched into the gothic home.
“They’re freakazoids,” Stacy said after a home walkthrough.
Stacy calls Eric an “idiot” and Eric at one point calls Stacy “a cancer.”
The parents, Delora and Steve, also get a little too unsavory on camera with each other.
Steve takes time again to remind us how much he despises non-natural scents.
“Shannon is wearing a lot of, I’m sure, expensive perfume,” he said.
“I prefer theau naturaleone hundred percent of the time.”
Tracy and Rob Robinson are cryptozoologists who spend all their free time and money monster hunting in Florida.

“Are you serious?”
Unfortunately, no swamp apes were found on this trip.
“He’s acting like a big baby,” she said.
Her parents keep a Christmas tree up all year long and even do her homework for her!
“I do feel sorry for people that are not gorgeous people,” Alicia said in a confessional.

She also claimed that the idea that she received daily presents under the year-round Christmas tree was a fabrication.

Long live King Curtis!
This includes allowing son Curtis (aka King Curtis) to eat all the chicken nuggets his heart desires.
What happens when a healthy mom with good intentions gets in the way of King Curtis' chicken nuggets?

Curtis says as Joy tosses the bacon away.
All hail King Curtis.
Raw Food Diet
This one isn’t for the faint of stomach.
They swap with the modern, city-dwelling Hess-Webb family, who do not anticipate the end days.
But just wait, it gets worse.
