American Dad "Failure Is Not A Factory Installed Option" Talkback

[Neo Ultra Mike]

There's a new AD tonight and the last new one till November so hopefully this episode will make up for the month long wait.

"Stan loses his confidence, and his job, when a car salesman gets the best of him in a negotiation. Meanwhile, Roger and Steve set up a makeshift drive-in to try to get to first base with popular schoolgirls."

Enjoy!

 

[Space Cadet]

When Stan said, "I got mindraped!", I thought of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Stan got owned.

And Steve owns himself. You'd think he'd have thought that through ahead of time.

But Roger accidentally saves him.

 

[SirLemming]

The timing was just plain perfect on Stan's second-act return to the car salesman.

 

[Classic Speedy]

Loved Roger reciting the last lines from The Breakfast Club. I also liked:
Steve: Chicken pot pie! My favorite!
Francine: Actually it's turkey.
Steve: Gross! Why don't I just eat a big pile of vomit?

 

[tb4000]

I guess Debbie won't be in continuity anymore as Steve's girlfriend. She may pop up as an in-joke maybe.

 

[NickWhiz1]

Wow, they actually decided to continue this joke.

AWESOME.

 

[FerrariCake]

UGH, sensei is a JAPANESE term. >>
But other than that one nitpick, this is a cute episode.

Whoa, letterboxed!! OMG it's the gold poop again!! XDXDXD

 

[Swordfish_II]

HAHA! Yes!

 

[Space Cadet]

Woah, the golden turd came back.

 

[Don_East]

I knew this would continue!

 

[FerrariCake]

Who's doing the voice of the old cop dude? He sounds familiar.

 

[FerrariCake]

Holy beans, Stan planned everything. o_o

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Wow, it was all just an act.

Second week in a row I've been surprised.

 

[The Myst]

THEY FINALLY REVISITED THE GOLDEN TURD STORY FROM THE EARLIER EP! YES! THAT MADE NO SENSE BEFORE! And... it still makes little sense. But it kicked ass.

Greatest ending ever!

RATING: B+ (Just for the ending and the revisit of the golden turd thing.)

 

[SirLemming]

Holy crap; the return of the holy crap!


This was another funny episode. Not quite as good as last week's, but last week's was amazing.

 

[Space Cadet]

Wow, it was all just an act.

Second week in a row I've been surprised.

Wow, not even recent manga chapters of Naruto and One Piece surprised you.

 

[Nin-Nin69]

What a fantastic episode.

The Golden Turd returns!

Yet what was on Hayley's shirt at the end?

 

[Classic Speedy]

Great to see the continuation of the golden turd thing. It's just more proof that the show is capable of going for a few minutes without any jokes and it can still hold one's interest.

kind of like last week, I was actually entertained by the episode somewhat, which is usually

@ the turd made of solid gold
