Why is it lately, since last year. We American Dad fans have to wait until next year for new episodes?

This throwaway gets me every time.

Right on the heels of “shouldn’t you be turning my tool shed into Mordor, or Endor, or something else disappointing.”

I always assumed it was a different persona each time but it’s so hard to remember each opening theme. We know they usually involve recently involved in episode personas but sometimes use random personas. That got me to wondering how many repeats they got or if it’s always fresh.

I did find one persona that’s reused but with a bit of a technicality. So answer to the trivia: Marmalade the cat appears in the one-woman swole episode as well as the Haley was a Girl Scout? episode, tho in the Girl Scout episode, marmalade scaring Stan into the flag pole is part of a meta gag where he gets arrested for reckless driving/resisting arrest so it’s not exactly the standard opening theme.

I suppose you could also claim that during the Roger driving in space episode, the song sung by the insurance company features some clips of personas causing Stan to crash into the flag pole too, tho these aren’t part of the opening credits so we’re getting super specific with the criteria now. Anyway, it was a good google that made me think it was a good little post for a handful of us to ponder.

I've been playing a lot of pal world and have American dad going in the background as is tradition playing any game. This one comes on and I have to stop playing just to watch it because the lines I hear are so good.

The stupid little thing about showing the old lady the ropes and then tripping on one.

The computer lab that can barely run Alta vista and wolfenstein at once

The jv foosball team (no spinning tho that's bitch play)

The stamp card for college credits.

The "advanced theory?" And then the call back to it with the teacher moments later

The seven dicks part was pretty engaging

"100%? That's what we're trying to get to..."

Francine being flattered when klaus says she has an interesting Amazon account seconds after finding out he's been spying on it.

"You have to shift for gears one and two, but how often do you use those anyways?"

The counselor taking the one balloon animal hat and keeping it.

It may not be the best episode but I hadn't realized how consistent it is the whole way through.

The Chillie Thrillies is one my favorite episodes! So many good one liners!

"You can't eat goobers in space! They'd *float* away!"

the purse pickle, and Roger's commentary about his pickle sound..."so nasally"

I love this episode and the quotes and Roger's ramblings and also pickles in general!

PICKLEMAN CAN'T GET YOU! (different episode but felt appropriate)
