American Dad

I love this show and the theme song is catchy.

Two thumbs up.

The scene in "Homeland Insecurity" where the two guys find Roger's gold turd is one of my favourite animated bits I've seen in all my years.

I like the one where Stan stages a purse snatching so Steve can retrieve it and impress some chick at school but Stan ends of botching the whole thing because he goes overboard as if it was an actual CIA operation. Haha. He runs off breaking through windows and jumping off a building with the bag and poor Steve can't and doesn't catch up to him.

It was alright when it was called Family Guy.

Hahaha! I love that part, too. Stan is so fucking funny when he gets all CIA.

This is a great show. Infinitely funnier than Family Guy.

Agreed.

I don't see where people think Family Guy is better. It has annoying flashbacks that people don't get and its a bit overrated. Idk I think only certain people "get" american dad

Man fuck this show. Everyone should be celebrating the return of SUPERJAIL!

I was actually just talking with someone about how American Dad is by far my favorite Seth McFarlane shows and how we don't understand how people can like Family Guy the best out of the three shows when American Dad is so obviously superior (at least to us). It is one of my favorite shows on TV. No offense to anyone who LIKES either of Seth McFarlane's cartoons better. It's a taste thing...It's just weird to me that I was literally just having this conversation with someone.

I really liked that more recent episode where Stan and Francine got those extreme friends and got them pregnant. Or the one where Roger was a dirty cop...I have Vol. 1-5 on DVD, it frustrates me that (at least I don't think) they are divided by season.

What's to get? They're non sequiturs.

I love this argument. That just because people don't like something, that means the don't "get" it. No, I get it. I just think it's stupid.

I prefer Family Guy, personally. BUT: Did anyone else see the "Tears of George Clooney" episode? Where Francine and Stan move to Italy for like five years specifically to make George Clooney cry?

Those people don't "get" pop culture, jeopardy, trivial pursuit, politics, religion, or facts either.

Those jokes and flashbacks aren't exactly advanced trigononmetry, they are designed for mass appeal.

Yes, and I don't understand Francine's complaint. I don't recall George Clooney ever doing that looking up thing. Maybe I haven't seen enough of his films.

Easily my favorite episode of American Dad.

On a much broader and more violent level, this explains every religious extremist and right wing activist.

People assume that others don't understand, and feel pressured or compelled to correct this. It's not that we are in capable of understanding someone else or their views we would just rather assume they are wrong or don't get it because we don't like their way of thinking.

* I read too much into the entire thing.

Ah, I see what you're saying. I agree.

I feel I'm pretty liberal actually. As for being an extremist yeah maybe, I'll upload a picture once I get an American Dad tattoo this week. American Dad is pornography for the ego. I can't explain its just an amazing show.

It's a comedy. Stupid things are funny, and that includes stupid points of view. The Coen brothers take full advantage of this idea. It's not thought of as good because it's stroking our ego. It's good in that it unites us in our ridicule of ridiculous perspectives.

Roger's awesome.

American Dad is funnier because Seth McFarlane has little creative control over it.

I don't usually bash on other people on the boards, and you seem like a lovely person. But every time you write it reads like a third grader's letter to Santa. I don't know what it is exactly, but you are the first person I've ever read in monotone.

Maybe I come across as monotone because I am scared to fully "be myself" on these boards, because I am a sensitive person and I have been attacked on past occasions/other sites for some opinions. Lately I have been holding back and getting a feel for things and people around the site(s) until I feel more comfortable. This was somewhat discouraging. Also, one thing I can't stand about writing on the internet is the complete lack of syntax.
I don't know what to say to that other than that it makes me not want to post in the forums and just stick to the writer's workshop.

How many of my posts have you read?
"I don't usually bash on the other people on the boards and you seem like a lovely person..."...Well, I'm glad I could be one of the exceptions for you. And while I may seem like a "lovely person", I can't think of anything more offensive on a writer's workshop page than to tell another aspiring writer that the way they come across through their writing when communicating is "like a third grader...". I honestly don't know how you expect me to respond to this.

*Edit- To clarify, "Past occasions" does not mean on this site, I realized after I posted it came across that way. I have never had someone be negative to me on this page until you.

Hahaha that's the guy who said, "Your dad has arms. Oh snap!"

I'm not even gonna waste my time explaining everything that is wrong with your opinions on anything; to simply state it, your kinda of a douche...a major douche

Who??

Thanks for speaking up for me!

My sensitivity made me react way too much to that comment, I was thinking of avoiding the forums but changed my mind because I am not going to let people being negative to me (even if it is completely unprovoked) affect me and what I do any more. Even if I stupidly initially let it hurt.

And for the record, I don't think that your comment explains every right wing or religious extremist. That was obviously trying to explain something by oversimplifying it, blowing it up just to try to veil an insult...I didn't see that that's what you were responding to when you said you considered yourself a liberal person.

I'm a little worried that if I ever ran across Seth McFarlane in real life that I would, like, black out and end up strangling the life out of him in a whirlpool of violence and then snap out of it, not even realizing what I had done.
As such, he's the only "celebrity" that I would be afraid of meeting in real life.

Absolutely not. The fact that so many people feel the need to have an all or nothing opinion without doing any research is reprehensible.

There's nothing wrong with having an all or nothing opinion on anything, even without bothering to do any research.
I got a lot of all or nothing opinions on things. Like with American Dad. I can find absolutely nothing redeemable about it even though I've never seen an episode, solely because it's from the same person responsible for Family Guy.
It's when people start trying to strong-arm other folk into they're way of seeing that it gets reprehensible.

You, sir, need to learn to quote properly before ever thinking of writing anything in a condescending fashion.

I'm not sure how that happened, but duly noted.

But in this instance, I wasn't trying to be condescending. I see no reason for her to stop posting because I don't like the flow of her conversations. I was just stating why I didn't like it, and to clarify it was not her; just the way in which her sentences read to me.

I don't think I agree. Uninformed people who are absolutely certain they are right is the reason we have bigotry.
However, informed people who refuse to sway are just as dangerous.

I love it when you guys argue about arguing.

For the longest time, I thought your avatar was a picture of Darth Vader.

.. You only just got here!

I saw Big S' avatar some time ago (not my first membership day), mentally appreciated the obscure Darth Vader drawing, and never paid attention to it again.

Honestly YOUR opinion should mean shit to me, and in a way it does, but in another it doesn't. It means shit because I don't know you or really care what you personally think about me. You don't know nearly enough about me to know me nor I you. However, it does matter because I don't have a lot of things I take pride in. My use of the english language is one of those small things. So, if someone attacks it, then yeah, it hurts. As for the choppy sentences, I have seen many others write just as choppy as or choppier than I do; and you said you don't usually bash people on forums, so why decide on me? My sentences are most likely short and choppy because I am trying to break a bad run-on sentence problem, which was my biggest issue in english classes and always has been. I am merely trying to correct a problem by watching for it when I am writing in the forums day to day. You could've just said this to me from the start, I don't really see the point, but still, I see less of a point in being rude. I admitted above, I am a sensitive person. This is the first time anyone has seen my writing in years (in the workshop) and I am just sort of finding my place on this site. I just don't see the point in being rude about it out of nowhere. I came here for, I'm sure the same reasons you did, to write and to meet like-minded people to share opinions with. An attack coming out of nowhere should mean nothing, but at the same time, it makes me wonder, why on me and what was necessary about saying it in such a way as to specifically make someone feel bad about themselves? Specifically make me feel bad about myself... And you can't tell me a comment like that wasn't meant to make someone feel bad, if it could, you already admitted it was rude. That's the one thing I don't understand. You could've come at me with "Hey, we're on a writer's webpage so I thought you might want to know..." and then go on with your constructive criticism about what you think of my "choppy sentences". Then there would be a point and no one being unnecessarily rude or mean...I will give you, you had no way of knowing that I am sensitive. But that's kind of my point, you don't know who's feelings you're going to be hurting. And yes, I need to learn to be able to just let those things roll off my back, and I am more and more. But with nothing to initiate it in the first place, to have it come out of nowhere (when you're already having bad days, bad weeks, bad months and the writer's workshop and forums are where you go to blow off steam) it can be hurtful is all I'm saying. I appreciate you responding with an apology as not everyone would do that. And no, I am not going to stop posting, I don't know if you saw my above post, but I am not going to let anything stop me from posting anywhere.
Please excuse any issues with sentence structure, spelling and/or grammar in this post. It is 11:08am and I haven't slept since yesterday.

Again, my opinion, and it should have absolutely no sway on you; having said that, I really appreciated this response. It shows inflection and provokes an emotional response when I read it.

I hope you enjoy your time in the workshop, it seems fruitful for most of the people there.

I ignored that because she did apologize and she seems nice enough, and apparently I've already muddled in her feelings enough for one day.

So, I'm just going to excuse myself from ridiculing anyone further today and go back to the cubicle thread.

They have like four seasons of American Dad on the instant play list on netflix. Watching those would be my research for my argument. Maybe thats a bit of a timothy leary approach but still, you won't know until your try.

Why don't you annoying twats go make your own private little thread where you all can bitch and moan at each other to your hearts content?

Less American Dad, More Tommy Wiseau

I like how his Wikipedia page doesn't have a place of birth listed.
