After season 10 I stopped watching this show for 2 years, kept meaning to come back to it and finally did this weekend and it just makes me laugh and laugh. How is this show still so funny after so long?

I remember I just used to let it run on Netflix in the background, the humor in the show just keeps working on me. Not sure what my favorite bit in season 11 is yet but I'm partial to the Roger persona whose twin brother isn't Roger but their mother is also Roger, and the CIA's plan to get Stan into the baseball stadium.

quote:

On this episode of American Dad, the Smiths meet Roger's new persona, Pete Duncan. Pete is a juvenile delinquent from Texas. In order to help his fellow delinquents turn their lives around, Pete asks the Smiths to sell ads on YouTube, allowing him to earn money to send back to his family in Texas. One would assume that the money Pete earns on YouTube should be deposited into an account in Texas, but instead it is deposited into Roger's account.

That sounds like Roger alright.

e: fixed the bolding, and I just realized this is a Texas Pete

I forgot to keep up with this show for a couple years until last year around this time when I started up again and You Gotta Strike For Your Right became one of my favorites for the B-plot where Francine keeps making increasingly ridiculous leaps of logic and being consistently 100% correct.

A friend of mine and myself saw that episode and then decided to watch American Dad in reverse order and it was a fun time, I think we started last April and finally finished up in like December.

Hayley is very intelligent just not book-smart so it's not out of character of her to be able to fail a test in a funny way when she hasn't really focused, prepared or applied herself. She tends to do much better with social intelligence or coming up with plans, like the episode where she fakes going into a coma using Jeff, then disguises herself as her own doctor all to get revenge on Stan.

I suppose going waaaayyy out of the way for the sake of a plan/scheme is becoming a bigger part of Hayley's character in later seasons. The only time I can ever really remember it coming into play before was when she tricked Roger into signing her internship completion form, and even then, it was Klaus who gave her the idea.

She also conspired with Jeff to toss those paralysis drugs into Lewis's mouth when they were trapped in his messy apartment, although Lewis's willingness to take any rug whatsoever undermined her plan anyway.




She and Klaus also conspired to convince Steve he was having a lucid dream when he was awake.

The Steve/Steve Gutenberg/Gutenberg jokes were pretty great.

"Oh yeah... This is Jeff's van."

My favorite is when he gets frustrated at the list of characteristics that spell out "STEVE" and throws his coffee, which then drips down the board into the shape of Steve's face.

"Scientists mystified by paper rain", man I miss the days when Family Guy was basically just a Cartoon Network show but with more cursing, violence, and just a touch of T&A rather than what it is now, American Dad also departed from that direction pretty early on, but it handled it much more gracefully

One of the things I like about American Dad in particular is I don't think there's ever been a really serious episode. Like there's that episode where Stan blows up and tells the family exactly what he finds wrong with them and instead of a big dramatic speech we don't get to hear what he actually says and he makes a lot of out there gestures and we just have to use our imaginations as to what it's all about.

It's shockingly bad. The only other episode that comes close to that bad is Seizures Suit Stanny. It's like American Fung was so bad that its awfulness trickled into the next episode.

I had to look up this episode because I couldn't remember what it was and after reading the synopsis I still can't recall this episode at all, but I know I have to have seen it, and I don't think any other episode of the show has that effect on me, it must have been that bad.

I rewatched Seizure Suit Stanny after that exchange last night and it was okay. I can see why I would've forgotten about it since the main plot wasn't all that strong but it still got some laughs out of me. I liked Francine having a full phone conversation before realizing she wasn't talking to anybody.

The problem with Toshi(and Barry for that matter) is that he's just too one dimensional of a character, he's not even particularly funny and his gimmick is arguably kinda racist anyways

Snot has more in the way of depth but he's an obnoxious unlikable dweeb who is nowhere near as funny as the show's writers think he is(indeed he's often downright depressing in a way that actively detracts from a scene's humor) and his involvement in Steve's plots often drags Steve down as a character in turn(indeed he's worse in that regard than Barry or Toshi are)

There were two jokes with Toshi's gimmick I found funny and they were his mother expressing confusion he that doesn't speak English and the random throwaway gag about him being able to see and talk to a ghost that speaks an older dialect that Toshi doesn't understand.

Thank goodness I thought it was just me.

I totally expected the b12 killings to lead to some kind of plot where steve and co get chased around and wacky stuff ensues and I do think it's funnier that instead he didn't give a poo poo and the problem was resolved by chance.

This episode had a lot going on and it got many laughs out of me. So glad this show is back.
