Finally binged the rest of this season and it was still great. The multiverse/Shaggy and Christmas episodes were definitely the highlights for me.

Man I've forgotten just how amazing Tears Of A Clooney is. Really started the trend of knocking one out of the park to end the season. So much going on, and I love that they never ever say what Hayley had. It's like season 6 Simpsons good.

Milo and POTUS posted:Speaking of early seasons, who is that girl who occasionally is shown to be steve's friend, like in the moonbounce episode? I know she's just a background character and one who at this point has been put in the vault, but they also gave Parker a name so I wonder if she's got a fanwiki article too I just noticed this watch-through that Parker first showed up, name and all, back in Vacation Goo.

Is there a better B plot than Steve’s weird R Kelly song in Criss Cross Applesauce?

I'm fond of Steve and Roger in a clown-school homage to Whiplash. The scene with the clown legal team is great. It's my "aclowntant". You know, a clown accountant? He's got this giant calculator that only ever adds up to "boobs." Pretty funny, but, frankly, I think he's been stealing from me.

The best B-plot will always be Roger's Limo. Honorable mention to "Francine, I haven't been entirely truthful with you."

I'm still not a fan of it as I feel Roger works better when he's harmless and somewhat pathetic, like what made the "elbow dive that exploded a guy's head" gag funny was the reveal that Roger didn't understand that it killed the guy

Roger trying to get the Rain Duck wine from Greg and Terry. "Wait a minute... There's no Grey Goose event in Reykjavík this weekend!"

The best part of the rain duck incident was how it resolved, with Francine storming Greg and Terry's house while muttering about spending 600 dollars on dominoes.

I was thinking about the one that ended up with Roger starting a cockfighting ring. For some reason, I'll never forget the delivery of: "Females go to farm, lay eggs. Men get culled." "Ah yes... culled..."

I'm on Season 13 and just went through a stretch of episodes with great Roger B-stories. Roger is revealed to be an absentee state senator in Nevada...and the CEO of the chemical company that's poisoning the local water supply. Roger tries to go to college, but instead gets distracted by a student credit card offer and wants to earn reward points to get a branded jacket. Roger becomes obsessed with the "Dylan" card in Hayley's old 90's dating board game and tracks down the model as an adult. (There's also "Stan, comparison shopping for potential retirement homes, signs up for an overnight stay in one and is drugged into senility by an unscrupulous nurse" in there that's also fun.)Alxprit posted:I was thinking about the one that ended up with Roger starting a cockfighting ring.

One of my favorite things is the show is the family getting preemptively annoyed that someone they are about to meet is going to be Roger. One of the highlights is “of course I’m not him. I’m the dog” and then Stan’s “we’re going to get there and it’s going to be you isn’t it” “strong possibility” But the best has to be Steve describing the clown professor before, in stride, going “and ah crap it’s going to be Roger isn’t it” with the smash cut to Roger storming in with full clown makeup on paired with the severe black Whiplash outfit. The show really hit its stride when they embraced Roger being inexplicably magic and able to do anything.

There's a Tik Tok trend right now of people using Steve's lines from the clown college episode.

I love how many variations they've gotten out of that Roger bit you mentioned. Eight Fires with the airplane came to mind too. Ditto for riffing on the intro, like Dick crashing or Stan's DNA making a bunch of other people act it out.

In the episode where Steve gets put in the class for delinquents, he has a great "Ohhh, no." when Roger shows up as the "inspiring" teacher who isn't going to give up on these troubled kids. (Great episode all around.)

Has anyone ever written an essay or something on the style of this show's comedy? It's starkly different than similar shows, and honestly feels more Mr. Show than anything else with the way they commit to jokes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSoMdDu6ryI This clip has always struck me as a great example, in that it's just joke upon joke that builds on the previous one, and takes every single option into the weirdest direction.

Yeah everyone counts out American Dad as just Family Guy light but it’s actually some sort of absurdist self-aware magical-realism exploration of our culture that really doesn’t have any parallels. The show creatively just took off Season 4+ and never looked back

After that poo poo got weird and the show was better for it. The Francine Steve is the most perfect man-child depiction in media and its glorious.

At times it’s full on Dadaist surrealism and it works so well. And this moment especially is a real high point of the show for me.  Edit: Stan’s haunted little ‘NooOOooo’ gets me every time.

What I appreciate is them inventing characters for jokes that never have to come back, rather than relying solely on pop culture for their abuse. The aforementioned clip is a good example of that too - this sadistic employee person never reappears, and why should he? He did his job.
