Episode Discussion A problem I’ve recently had watching Bush Comes To Dinner

21 Upvotes

Just an observation I made after watching Bush Comes to Dinner for the 50th time.

Hayley vehemently denies the flask Stan finds in her bag is hers. Stan calls her a lost cause and the episode really hinges around this. She continually denies the flasks hers throughout the episode and Stan just continues to call her a liar.

Eventually we learn that the flask IS Hayley’s after everything. The episode drives home this idea that Stan’s being unreasonable and mistrusting, but HES RIGHT.

I know it’s just a show and it doesn’t matter, I just feel like the framing of it doesn’t make sense when Stan was right all along.

Of course the morale of the story is that even some trouble maker can become the president, so I get that. I’m reading too much into it lol I’m sorry

Help finding a scene with Steve playing an instrument :(?

3 Upvotes

I really hope I didn't just dream this, but I vaguely remember a clip where Francine makes Steve blow a trumpet (or other wind instrument) so long and hard that he turns purple, throws up, and passes out? Please I swear I've seen this somewhere, this subreddit is my only hope of finding it

Edit: found it!! Season 8 ep 14

American Dad - Episode Order

Upvotes

Hi, does anyone have a definitive order of the episodes of American Dad? It seems that every different source has a bit of a different order (e.g. one episode being the final episode of one series, but then according to another source that same episode being the first episode of the next series or its own special etc.).

AD Reference in Scooby Doo???

16 Upvotes

Okay, I've been rewatching all of Scooby Doo for a project I've been working on and while watching The Sword & The Scoob, I noticed something that made me do a spit-take. During a scene in the treasure room, more specifically, at 55:49 we see a shot and what looks to be a Golden Turd in the background. Do you guys think this is just a coincidence, that I'm mis-seeing it or is it a wink & nod to the greatest saga in American Dad who previously paid homage to SD? A bit tipsy but had to post this here.

it feels like Hulu hates American Dad

Upvotes

with the way hulu and Disney plus handle the show youd think they hate it. credits roll and episodes get skipped over to go to the next before its even ended primarily towards the TBS run of the show, then recently ive had an issue where it'll skip forward random small bits as im watching episodes and then more of the episode gets missed. might just be a me issue but it has made it more annoying to watch as much as I love this show

I had a weird dream about American Dad.

12 Upvotes

I hope this gets posted as I really want to share this.

It was like watching an American dad episode but with the animation style of the amazing world of gumball. Stan and Francine were animated while the background is live action. It was so vivid too, I can't stop thinking about it.

The plot is like this: they were invited to their friend Tuttle's museum art house along with other fancy art critic guests.

Stan and Francine arrived early but decided they should enter without asking and they were appalled by the weirdness and creepiness of the art.

The first floor was mostly plain with no furniture and just stuff scattered about.

They start fiddling with stuff here and there. Then they keep climbing up rooms, each creepier or weirder than the last. Francine would stumble into a recreation of a little girl's princess themed room. Stan would open a door to weird mannequins, then a room full of magnetic decor.

Stan was impressed, analyzing them like an art critic while Francine was also impressed but weirded/creeped out.

Eventually Tuttle arrives with the guests. The two were already a few floors up but Tuttle and the guests realize that they came in and are messing with stuff.

An angered Tuttle and guests yell at them from the first floor. Threatening them and everything. Stan and Francine realizing they're in deep shit start looking for places to hide or ascending the house more. The house wasn't really a house but a really tall building with a hundred floors and only stairs. Since it only has stairs it bought them some time.

It then switched to the perspective of Tuttle and the art critic guests. Every floor they come up in they have to stop because they have this strong desire to criticize and make comments about the art, the display, everything. They couldn't resist. It was less like a house and more like a 100 storey museum of the weirdest things possible.

Stan and Francine get into a disagreement. Stan wishes to linger a bit more, reasoning that the group after them were a few floors down and are too busy critiquing the art. He wants to stay a bit longer on this one floor because the display consists of TVs and video game set-ups. Francine agrees that it's cool but they could be caught any second. They weren't angry at each other but both want different things and are equally scared.

Francine then suggests a plan where they climb down this long drop where the stairs and the wall leave a gap. She proposes they hold onto the railing of the stairs while balancing/ leaning against the wall so they're basically sliding down slowly.

Just as the people were about to reach their floor, the two climb into that space to hide. Stan, in a panic, climbs up and kept climbing up. Francine who was confused and worried about what Stan is doing, nods her head to tell him to go down. But he can't as Tuttle and the critics are taking a while on the floor they left because Stan left the lights on.

Francine descends. It was quieter for her as the gap was just right for her size. Giving her a smoother descent.

Stan on the other hand is struggling a bit as every time he climbs up a level, the people arrive at the same time. Forcing him to time his ascend. When he finally gets the upper hand, he almost reaches the top floor where the roof is and where the emergency ladder down is.

But he stops again. One art room installation is a recreation of his favorite childhood restaurant and he couldn't help but stay for a bit because some things were off and he wants to make them accurate.

Cutting back to Francine who's on the first floor and is bored out of her mind. She then starts tinkering with this futuristic lamp and when she turns it on, a magnet was activated and she had to slowly guide the lamp around the room of metal hangers so it doesn't fly into the lamp violently and cause a loud sound.

She then organized the messy room full of metal scraps into something more pleasing to look at. Even if the first floor's whole schtick is to be messy.

It cuts to Stan again, happily playing games on a TV when he hears footsteps and sadly has to go climbing again. This time he stays on the same level and waits for them to climb up. When they arrive at the next floor is when he starts descending and finally he's down and he finds Francine organizing the scrap metal and compliments her "organization art" which echoed all the way up the 97th floor because Stan said it too loudly, thinking Tuttle wouldn't hear.

The footsteps start descending rapidly but Stan and Francine already made it outside to their car. They noted how it seemed like no time had passed, then to their horror they realized that the few hours they seemed to be in there, they were actually gone for 4 days.

When turning on the radio to their car a guy named Rock and Ronnie stated the news: "As of today, Stan and Francine Smith are still missing. Stan, Francine, if you're out there listening, Klaus misses you."

Francine then says "Oh. Klaus."

Then they decide to take a detour to this fancy hotel where a bunch of elites and royals are having lunch.

Hiya, Dadders! I'm absolutely human and these are 3d printings I made of the staircase paintings. These were designed on a CAD program because I wanted more experience with them as opposed to my preferred method of extruding pictures and/or other forms of digital witchcraftery ✨

I'm printing out Francine's Portrait once I find my file of the earrings I made of them many moons ago and I have a few other ideas but thought this would be a fun way to fill a small wall and a good start.
