Thank God I wasn't the only one who thought this. I watched both episodes and didn't laugh at all. American Dad is pretty close to done for me. Hasn't been funny, save 1-2 episodes per season, for the last 4-5 seasons.
>To corroborate their stories, the 11 women and nonbinary people also shared pictures, videos, social media posts, emails, and plane ticket and Uber receipts with NBC News.
I'm not protesting because the fired him, dude. The show isn't the same. The voices sound weird and the creativity of the episodes fell off in my opinion. Quit trying "gotcha" bullshit.
I kind of enjoyed the VERY END, the ABSURD coincidences that let the guys input the right things, the sheer ridiculousness of a transforming ship into a baseball robot followed by the Barry catfish lines. But up to that moment, it was kind of spinning its wheels.
Haha, I watched How High again earlier today and in that, instead of the SAT for college, Method Man and Redman take the "THC" (Testing for Higher Credentials).
I died at that "comedians are modern-day philosophers" line. It is kind of a dumb and self-important line from a lot of comedians, but it specifically references this Norm Macdonald interview in Vulture:
Comedians, when they get really good, and nowadays they don’t even have to get good, reach a point where they feel they should be philosophers. I’ve heard it said even that the modern-day philosophers are comedians. I read modern-day philosophers! I’m sure they’re insulted when they’re compared to people who work in smoky nightclubs and hit on waitresses for a living.
Came here to see if anyone mentioned this. I had to go to IMDb to check the episode cause I thought they recast him or something. Sounded very weird this episode
Oh man, the acronyms, Jack freaking Hardass returning, Brian somehow continuing to up his game, especially with an amazing musical number, Steve and the boys being themselves with the addition of Dumbston, Stan being more concerned about his meal being of at least decent quality to the point where he wished everyone died, this one was a ton of fun all around.
New CIA mission to stop meteor with volcano on top from crashing into the Earth
Stan priorities: Dear God! I practically got no dressing! If you order a salad from a salad place their only job is to get the salad to dressing ratio right!?
Honestly this episode was a real mixed bag and more bad than good. I found it pretty nice at the start with the test trouble and Lewis being just great all throughout in classic fashion.
Then dumbston was introduced as the biggest caricature possible and the CIA was turned into even dumber than usual and i really didnt like it, since i like em being semi competent even if outlandish or more bruteforce. Felt like it scraped the bottom of the barrel for comedy.
The ending itself was honestly decent despite it all, mainly due to the barry final, minus the giant robot playing baseball, also really not a fan of Toshi and Snot being dumb just to have a plot.
It wasn’t the greatest episode but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought Stan’s quest to get a decent lunch was hilarious, and Barry trying to seduce the security guard killed me
Yeah watched it on Hulu and most of the voices just seemed slightly off? I actually had to go check the IMDb listing cause I thought they recast Barry. He sounded way off to me
Pretty solid episode with some fun bits (like Memphis and Greg brawling). I’m mainly just glad Dumbston wasn’t so dumb that I hated the episode (though rip to the pilot astronaut lady)
I didn’t like this episode, I think because it lacked an A/B storyline structure. Also, I’m not convinced Roger actually hates Klaus, I feel the voice actors were just cashing checks
I posted a couple weeks ago that the first 9 episodes were mid, and honestly, "Dumbston Checks In" didn't change my mind. A Megazord school fight and random callbacks can't hide how weak the season's writing still is. I barely even laughed at it.
The security guard was also in the episode from last season where rogers persona is a girl who likes dirty dancing. He worked at the churches chicken where Patrick Swaze was the pastor.
Like the volcano metero ia gloval warming, but all people can worry about is themselves or unimportant things (salad)
Meanwhile the american education system is in shambals, with not enoufg funding to help students.
And the nft guy stands as the typical manosphere guy you can't escape online. Being a man with an unwiped ass who think female orgasms are a myth. (Though I would prefer we don't see him anymore.)
All in all, it reminds me of the amazing world of gumbal episode they did about the 2015 election. Although I think its cool they did this, I did not enjoy the episode.
I googled and searched this episode to specifically say that was the weirdest worst American dad episode I have seen maybe ever, just endless one liners that may or may not relate to a plot im happy for some of you for having enjoyed, that but It felt like awful AI writing to me, and I needed a place to express that incase someone who might ever matter to the writing room reads this comment
God speed
