    There’s a whole ass Home Movies episode where they keep saying “you don’t have to say www” in reference to how ubiquitous the web had become that you could talk about a website without needing to reference the www prefix.

        Pretty sure it’s a different episode, but there’s a credits joke of Coach registering “fenton’s naked mom dot com.” From Season 3, episode 1 “Shore Leave.”

        I’m having trouble finding the “you don’t have to say www” episode and I’m not gonna rewatch a bunch of every episode to find it right now ha.

        Actually, nevermind, just found it. Season 4, episode 1 “Everybody’s Entitled to My Opinion.” The episode starts with this discussion about the www.
