He'd turned blue and wasn't moving. It was a visual gag that apparently a bunch of people missed (I saw the same question a bunch of times in the AV Club review comments).

I wanted a heavily 'musical' episode of AD for so long. This is close enough to my dream that it counts. AD Xmas episodes are just the best. This wasn't an instant favourite but I liked it a lot. I also thought it was cool how they explored an unusual theme for a Christmas episode. Also a lot of great gags. Both bits with different walls cracked me up.

I just recently started getting into this but that was one of the best Christmas episodes of anything I've ever seen. The magically alive knife being thrown into the magically alive wall was hilarious, and also the slitting of the trash bags neck hahaha. Also the music was pretty rad too

Yeah as far as AD Christmas episodes go I'd rank it fourth. Above the anti-Christ and time travel one but below Raptures Delight, Santapocolypse and the one where Stan goes to Heaven.

Aside from just a diss on Sarah Palin, maybe a dig at her son Trig who was the butt of a lot jokes there for a while in the media.

Speaking of the AntiChrist, I didn't notice this the first time I saw the two episodes with him, but on doing a "American Dad Christmas Special Re-Watch" this year I noticed it. After Nemo is given to Palin, he flips over his PJs to make upside-down crosses, and then his outfit when we see him as an adult is very similar:  Young Anti-Christ/Nemo  Old Anti-Christ. And his voice is basically identical, too. It even explains why Stan shot that kid when he and Jesus first get to the building. He sort of looks like Nemo, and that's the memory of the Anti-Christ Stan has in his head. Edit: Not actually the same VA, though. Andy Samberg guest-starred as the Anti-Christ in "Rapture's Delight," and Murray Millar did him as Nemo. DrBouvenstein fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Dec 30, 2013 |

This is not relevant all, but I really find it weird that the cross of St. Peter became a symbol for the antichrist.

Air is lava! posted:This is not relevant all, but I really find it weird that the cross of St. Peter became a symbol for the antichrist. If I remember correctly, its one of those things that Anton Levay took on as part of his Church of Satan thing. And Fundie Christians not realizing its just another version of Randism and thought it was literally a church of Satan, they see everything from it as being truly satanic. I could be wrong though, but most things thought of as Satanic today are more related to pop culture than any actual form of Satan worship, mostly because there has never truly been organized serious Satanic cults.

Air is lava! posted:This is not relevant all, but I really find it weird that the cross of St. Peter became a symbol for the antichrist. It's coincidence. The Petrine cross wasn't taken and it's meaning twisted to form a symbol for Satanism or the Anti-Christ, people really just said "OK, what's the anti version of the cross" and flipped it and by coincidence it's also the Petrine cross. The Petrine cross is more of a trivia fact today than it ever was because it's appeared in quasi-religious TV episodes or movies but decades back people weren't really aware of it due to it being apocryphal knowledge and not just openly found in the Bible and so when it first started popping up in the 60s-70s as a symbol for the Anti-Christ or for metal bands it seemed much more "offensive" than it does now. I know going to CCD classes growing up I knew of the meaning of that cross as being St. Peter's long before I knew it as it relates to the Anti-Christ but Peter is also a major figure in the Catholic faith so it's something certain Christians were more likely to come across than others before it became pop culture knowledge like today. e: of course context means everything now anyway. If you see it in an actual church it's clearly referring to Peter and if you see it on the PJ's of a boy parodying Damian from The Omen then, yea, Anti-Christ.

You're a carpenter and i'm not handy at all! I'm the ANTI CHRIST!  Man, that was such a good reveal. I remember a lot of people in the thread at the time expected it to be Stewie. I'm sure if American Dad was more closely tied to Family Guy, it would have been.

But on the other hand, Stewie and Brian met Stan when Stewie infiltrated the CIA to get access to the global power controller thingy and became emperor of the world...but then, that was a weird fantasy thing, so I guess it doesn't mean anything. But in The Hurricane Trilogy, I think Peter ends up in Stan's house?
