I seriously would like to know how you can't enjoy this show as a fan of comedy.

I liked it better when Stan was a pompous ultra-conservative that did every fucking thing wrong to achieve his goal. It's still okay but they've toned Stan back a ton and pushed Roger out a lot more and I'm not all that interested in seeing which personality Roger's gonna take on today
>>
>>66627522
Haven't watched this for years, the last episode I remember had Roger take over the neighbourhood with some sort of redneck landlord persona?

Anyway, is it still on and still good? What seasons are worth watching?

I enjoy it quite a bit

Best characters are in this order:
>Roger
>Stan
>Francine
>Steve
>Snot
>Principal
>Haley
>Jeff
>Klaus
>>
>>66627775
Nah. Stan was Seth McFarlane's dumb strawman to bounce his political beliefs off of. He's much better being an atypical doofus.
>>
>>66628023
I don't care about the politics of the show but the situations they used to write Stan in to and then see how Stan responded were continuously laugh out loud hilarious. Really just haven't laughed at much of the recent stuff and I don't care too much for Roger or music video sequences

God tier show, it always makes me laugh. After it got bought by TBS the writing was like, noticably off, but i think it still holds true to the original

Between Snot and the Principal

that episode where he kills a woman and Stan convinces Francine she did it is fantastic

it doesnt really have seasonal rot at all its like all the good writers from 90's simpsons and 00's family guy pre cancellation all funneled into the show.

Nothings really pop culture or current event based

ive seen so much AD from adult swim reruns that now I just watch background characters
>>
>>66627751

it's on its 2nd or 3rd tbs season right now. they're okay. not as good as before it left fox, but watchable. honestly the worst part of the show now is the intro doesn't start til a few minutes in after a "big" joke. but the show clearly isn't written for it and it always fucking breaks the flow and just doesn't work at all

at least Kyle can have episodes about himself. Klaus can't because he's in a bowl. I mean i like the set up, but other than when he gets his body back, he doesnt do anything.

Stop it. Download stuff if you need to.

Not HUGE, just noticeably different. They seem like they're trying a bit too hard to be edgy now, they were doing just fine before. They use "shit" like once an episode now.

The show was better when Stan was competent and didn't lose every single fight/argument. He was an extremist wuth a good heart doing over'the-top right wing action movie shit.

When that changed and he ws retooled into another Peter Griffin, I started to lose interest. That koala agent is the worst too, came around the same time. Right now AD is about as bad as Cleveland Show.

Have you ever even watched this show? She's a pathetic burnout, failure who's just as stubborn and foolish as her dad.

Seth only voices for it now, he doesn't d much else with it since tbs bought

>>66628895
Did anyone else notice that they changed Reggie's (the koala) voice actor like 3 fucking times
>>
>>66628938
American Dad went out of its way to lampoon both liberals and conservatives. Apparently /pol/servatives are just extra sensitive and don't like being made fun of every now and then, but I hate to break this to you but the show also lampooned liberals just as much. It made fun of gays, blacks, white men, everyone. And Stan is hardly a buffoon, he is often the sanest, most intelligent character in the family

>>66628979
Brickleberry makes Bordertown look like Citizen Kane

>>66628968
>forgetting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhI904iejqQ

Also If ceelo actually did a fullt song then he would be #1

but steve and krampuses duet is still better.

is she not enough is third b12 is fourth
>>
>>66628965
To be fair, that poster wouldn't have liked it later on either. The left wing messages get stronger by season 3 and soon enough Stan gets nerfed as fuck.
>>
Why is Francine the only funny "mom character" in an animated sitcom?
>>
For me, the only inherently bad episode since the tbs switch has been the Fung Wah episode. But even that episode was styled to be bad on purpose
>>
>>66628957
>it gets more and more pro conservative as it goes on stop being such a bitch and enjoy the comedy
Them point me to where it gets better you AIDS ridden cunt
>>66628965
The 1st season is important, it sets everything
>>
>>66628275

maybe he was commenting on being blindly committed to ideology by showing zealots from both ends of the spectrum. I guess that would interfere with 4chans Seth Macfarlane meme narrative
>>
>>66629015
Except when they dedicate whole episodes to shit on him and say nothing he does work or helps ever, like the one with the flood where they said it explicitly.
>>
>>66629038
Early Marge was hilarious.
>>
>>66629025
Dont get me wrong, I like that one, it's just that it isnt a winner for me.
Also he did do a full song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6f69l4xV_A
>>
>>66629070
Except that has nothing to do with his conservativism, it was about him always thinking he had the right idea.
>>
>>66629046
>Fung Wah episode
yeah that was fucking terribad but on purpsoe
>>
>>66629050
But shows change, especially shows like this. The first season is just supposed to hook you. Shame it didnt work for you, but the show grew since then.

Is Rapture's Delight the best episode?

Because I think it is, even with the weak middle act.

>>66629038

because she's a charming, sweet, supportive, funny doofus and not the cunty voice of reason wife like in most sitcom.
>>
>>66629050
there will be a little bit of downtime before your asshole stops hurting
please wait warmly

>>66629109
It was in reply to him being portrayed as the sanest/not a buffoon. Early Stan was a good character. Stan now is just Peter with a different pain cry.
>>
>>66629103

oh yeah that is pretty good. like you said its just personal preference, krampuses voice just gets me.
>>
I just finished watching this show, the first TBS season was definitely off but that's about it. The first season also had some political stuff it tried to get into and I'm glad they didn't keep going with that. Also I got tired of Bullock and Lewis pretty quickly because their jokes are 'I'm a drug addled sexual deviant' and Roger does that better. How's the new season so far?
>>
>>66629223
The novelty of Patrick Stewart saying outlandish things wore off early.

I do love The Complete Cognitive Redaction of Avery Bullock by the Coward Stan Smith though.
>>
>>66629150
nah. the more out-there non-canon episodes just aren't as good because AD doing its normal thing is AD at its best

Less Money Mo Problems is the best episode. It's an ordinary AD episode, which is to say it has some really bizarre flourishes that fit within the correct tone of AD

YOU ARE MY QUEEN REBECCA

Independent Movie was a great episode. I wish it was longer though, it wrapped up in the really wierd, American Dad way but still felt rushed.

Literally the best mainstream cartoon for the longest time.
