American Dad/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

** The end of "The Unbrave One". Francine steps into Steve's room drunk, and Roger walks in and sings a song. Then a random guy on the street and his lady friend come in and they all start singing along, with the last line being sung by the woman. [[Vocal Dissonance|And she's got the voice of a man.]]

** It was Witches.

* [[BLAM Episode]]: ''Hot Water'', the Season 7 premiere. It's a hip-hop musical/horror story about Stan buying a hot tub that turns out to be sentient and a serial killer, and by the end it kills {{spoiler|Principal Lewis, Francine, and Stan.}}

** [[Word of God]] says {{spoiler|the episode was written because the writers thought that ''[[American Dad]]'' was going to get canceled, so they made this episode as a series finale. When news hit that the show wasn't going to be cancelled, they made this the season premiere}}.

** ''Tearjerker'', a [[James Bond]] spoof with all the family members playing different characters.

Line 55:

{{quote|'''[[Family Guy|Peter Griffin:]]''' [[Lampshade Hanging|Classic American Dad.]]}}

** Hell! Stan throwing the harpoon at Francine in the first place. [[Everything's Worse with Bears|Even the bear that was attacking them]] [[Even Evil Has Standards|paused to show his disgust.]]

** The teachers beating up Steve in "A Ward Show", when Principal Lewis wasn't around to protect him.

*** Though it leads to a [[Moment of Awesome]] for Roger.

** '''Everything''' about ''Bully For Steve''. Except maybe ''Stelio Kontos!''

* [[Ear Worm]]: Stelio. Stelio Kontos.

** Guns make holes in your body, through which you can't potty, just your blood and guts spill out! Bambi's mom could still munch grass, Tupac would be tappin' ass, if you hate guns!

** We're red and we're gay, we're red and we're gay, we're red and we're gaaay!

** OOOOOLLIE NORTH! -bum- OOOoOLLIE NORTH!

Line 83:

*** The end of the episode shows that {{spoiler|they both died in 2067}}.

** The implication that if Stan took control of parenting Steve, he'd turn out ''just like [[Complete Monster|Steverino]]''.

*** The episode, of course, argues that Steverino just came out wrong. Even when Stan shows him kindness, he's a sadistic attempted murderer.

** Also counts as Fridge Squick, but imagine how long Snot must have been stuck under Mr. Tuttle.

* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] - [[Lampshaded]] in the commentary for "Irregarding Steve", where Stan says "Death has better things to do, like remembering Tony Curtis already." The writers said that they prayed that Tony Curtis wouldn't die any time near that episode's airing.

** But now Tony Curtis is dead as of 2010, officially making that line this trope.

Line 124:

** In "Cops And Roger" Roger kills dirty cop Chazz, resulting in his head ''violently exploding'' with blood flying everwhere, complete with a [[Gross Up Close-Up]].

*** It actually ''imploded''. Which is ''worse''.

** [[Evil Twin|Steve]][[Ax Crazy|rino]].

** Hayley's flashbacks to being brainwashed as a child.

** The second part of the Golden Turd saga. It's just...creepy.

** From ''Toy Whorey'', Stan takes Steve down to Mexico so he can lose his virginity and become a man. One of the brothels they visit houses a man with hand puppets, dolled up like prostitutes. {{spoiler|One of them has an actual mouth full of teeth and slithers its tongue in a seductive manner.}}

* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: A very intentional line from ''"Hurricane!"'': "Remember when everyone when was worried about anthrax and dirty bombs a few years ago, even though they should be far, far more worried about it now? Trust me, I know what I'm talking about."

* [[Rescued ~~From~~ the Scrappy Heap]]: Klaus wasn't well-liked early on. However, after "Finances with Wolves," his crush on Francine and his creepy pervert side was dropped and his [[The Woobie]] traits were played up, making him much more bearable.

* [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap]]: Klaus wasn't well-liked early on. However, after "Finances with Wolves," his crush on Francine and his creepy pervert side was dropped and his [[The Woobie]] traits were played up, making him much more bearable.

** People seem to be tolerating Reginald more, probably because his appearances are now brief and infrequent.

* [[The Scrappy]]: Reginald the Koala, due to his [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]] tendencies, being written like a bad fan-character, and general unfunniness.

Line 147:

** Here's two; Francines tearful regret of her lack of a tighter family in "Vacation Goo" and Roger's song in "AT the Abusive Terrestrial". For the first, the fact that many families drift apart from one another very much is really a downer and very relatable. The second, much like the first, is also relatable. Also McFarlane's singing really sells this.

*** Roger's song is downright ''heartbreaking'' if you've lost a friend, or have grown apart from one. And it's coming from ''Roger'', of all people.

*** It's a parody of a song from [[Toy Story|Toy Story 2]], what did you expect?

*** It's a parody of a song from [[Toy Story (franchise)||Toy Story 2]], what did you expect?

*** Being Roger, he ruins it. "Well, that didn't solve anything. Guess I'll go get hammered."

** In the episode in which Steve and Roger go to New York, there is a very strange subplot featuring anthropomorphic squirrels. However, this subplot takes two turns towards [[Tear Jerker]]: first, the mother squirrel yelling at one of her sons ("Don't you yell at him, Gilbert! He's your brother! Ya have to take care of your brother!") and said squirrel's subsequent expression when his "special" brother is described as his mother's "knight in shimmering armour". Secondly, the squirrels' mother {{spoiler|dying}}. ''Ouch.''
