Why didn't someone tell me that American Dad was so funny? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9128)   ranked 133 out of 4,963 in watching television1 year ago

I just discovered American Dad episodes from an online
movie site. And it's so funny. Not for kids, though.
It's from the same guy that does Family Guy and the
humor is the same.

Have you seen American Dad?

I never saw the show when it was on FOX, cause we
don't have cable and our TV reception is not clear.

I think the alien is hysterical.

He reminds me of Samantha's cooky uncle on Bewitched.

The mom is funny cause she's the stereotype of the average
suburban perfect housewife.

And of course there's Stan. What more can I say about him.
He's so old fashioned and weird and funny.
A typical Republican guy.

The in-laws are funny too, cause they are always trying to
recycle paper towels by washing them.


Who are your favorite American Dad characters?

So, tell me what you like about the show!

I've never seen American Dad so I guess that's the reason I've not told you it is so funny.:-D

I love that show. I never was a big fan of Family Guy, but I love America Dad. I guess I love it so much because of the fun it pokes at the government. I think it's an absolutely brilliant show.


myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9128)   ranked 133 out of 4,963 in watching television  1 year ago

That's it! It does poke lots of fun.
I think the government always has room for
improvement.

The funny thing to me is that the guy really
believes in his job and the American way.

It's so stereotypical. Of course, it's way
overblown, noone is really that way.

Guess that's why it's so funny.

I love American Dad.
Roger is very funny. His voice does sound the same as the Bewitched guy doesn't he? I never really thought about it.
Patrick Stewart as Stan's boss is great.
I think my favorite eposide was when Stan and Roger got a massive contact high. I laughed so hard.
I don't know if I could pick out one character over the rest. They all compliment each other.


myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9128)   ranked 133 out of 4,963 in watching television  1 year ago

The Patrick Stewart character is so funny!
I had not realized that he was on the show, until
I saw an episode the other day.

He really adds something special to the show.

One of the funniest parts was when Stan
realized that he didn't have any friends.

So he went to his boss' house and knocked on the door
and asked if he could hang out with him.

And his boss put on a fake accent and acted like he wasn't there.
And, Stan said, "I can see you through the window!" And, you
really could. The guy was literally standing in front of the window
and eating Pringles!

I have watched American Dad a few time and it seems good but Family Guy is better. The baby Stewey is the high light of the whole show. I don't watch it all of the time but from time to time when I want a good laugh and it's on I will watch it.


myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9128)   ranked 133 out of 4,963 in watching television  1 year ago

Baby Stewie rules! I love watching the episodes
where baby Stewie and Brian are doing stuff, like
sharing an apartment or going cross country.

Then there was that episode where their hands
got super glued together and they ended up in a car
and got stopped by a cop, who had also been super glued
to his partner.

And, at the end of the episode when the glue finally
wore off, Stewie asked Brian if he wanted to hold hands
while they walked home.

It was funny cause a minute before he'd told him how
sick he was of him. Both are brilliantly funny shows.

From the same demented comic mind. So that could
explain some things!

You forgot about the one that Stewey shot the mom and no one knew what he had done. Now that was a real good one. I guess if the baby could talk these are some of the things that he would say. Have a good one.


myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9128)   ranked 133 out of 4,963 in watching television  1 year ago

That was one of my favorites!
I saw the first half of that and it
turned out to be a cliff hanger.

I had to search online to find the
last half to find out if he'd actually
murdered her and what happened after the trial.

Turns out pretty good with the scene in the
Whitehouse! She goes all Sarah Conner, Terminator
on him!

But then Peter shot him. That was pretty sad.

I was happy that he had not died.

Weird, I guess, considering that he's an evil
little monster.

But at the time I saw that he'd died, I felt so bad.
For him. For his mom. For everyone.

Then it turned out to be a simulation.

Figures! w00t

I blame my brother for this one. He told me to watch Family Guy, which was followed by American Dad. Now, I am hooked on the shows. I also like the Simpsons.

Why didn't we tell you? You didn't ask Queenie!
Sorry but its true!;p We are here for a reason, and its okay to ask about shows around here.

I like how it pokes fun of all aspects of the government and other aspects in society. One could argue it has some leanings, but in terms of entertainment it exaggerates a lot of the stereotypes and mindsets. Besides Stan and Avery, Steve and his dork group are also pretty funny. Don't get me wrong the other characters are pretty humorous too.
