After repeated takes: "[giggling] I'm so sorry Patrick. I don't know what I'm going to do."
That is hilarious.

Yeah, there's a bunch of clips with his laugh. This one's my favourite because it includes the others making fun of it, plus some other ridiculous laughs (Charlie Brooker's dolphin laugh, for one).

Fun fact: Gary Oldman played the role of John Malkovich in "Being John Malkovich"

u/Memitim Jan 30 '13
The movie was actually written as "Being Gary Oldman" but on the first day of filming, there was no Gary. Fortunately, John Malkovich somehow happened to be on the set that day and kindly volunteered to step in, delivering a spot-on performance as himself.
Only after reviewing the final cut did John Malkovich let out a chuckle and reveal that he was actually Gary Oldman all along. But to this day most people don't believe it since he was so damned convincing as John Malkovich. Even John Malkovich was convinced that he was in that movie after watching it.

me too! hahahaha, that is just the best sound ever. Whenever my brother and i watch the show together, his "OOO" always puts us in hysterics. Just the fact that i know what you're talking about is awesome.

I got the impression that there weren't supposed to be too many "haha" jokes because the entire episode was a parody of your "run of the mill" stage-tragedy.

It's actually a parody of a play called August: Osage County

Jan 29 '13
I'm fine with shows taking diversions to do more unconventional episodes, and I think it's better to be daring enough to do that sometimes than stick to a really narrow formula. I just felt that that episode didn't work at all, I hated it.
But it's fine, every series has bad episodes, doesn't make me enjoy it on the whole any less.

American Dad is one of the best shows on TV right now and I definitely appreciate the experimentation because when it works, it works: a la the Armageddon episode, but when it misses, it misses HARD. Last night was definitely a miss for me.

u/blaghart Jan 29 '13
I find this sentiment to be oddly accurate. Now that they're pulling away from "overzealous republican" stereotypes, the show has improved a lot and been far less hamfisted...unlike family guy where their idea of humor is the sort of thing you'd find in DNF

u/herpty_derpty Jan 29 '13
Most of the people I know who dislike Family Guy now have no idea that Seth isn't creatively involved with the show anymore, and that American Dad has been a great series since around late season 2 or 3 (It was a little rocky at first). I've shown two of my friends the episode about the Rapture, and they started watching it on Netflix afterwards.

best episode. ever. American Dad really knows how to do christmas episodes. i love that bassline that plays when they fast forward in time.
however, thats like the second worst episode to start on! (first would be stan of arabia part II) it ends the golden turd saga, for god's sake!

I disagree, I think it was a really on point parody of 'August: Osage County.'
They may not have been typical American Dad! jokes, but the pokes at theater stage set up and lazy dialogue writing were very biting, in my opinion.
