American Dad is superior and always has been even with the recent drop in quality.

>>277175

anything made by seth is trash.

Man, this thread is even worse than that one about Paul Masson's Californian Wine.

It's more suitable for anons whose level of literacy is Donald Duck -tier?

>>277176

He's hardly involved (or was hardly involved) which is largely the reason American Dad was actually good. I was put off watching it for a long time due to the outward similarity with Family Guy but I gave it a try and haven't regretted it yet. As I said recent seasons haven't been quite as good (indeed they moved networks as a result iirc) but the first 8-9 seasons were great).

Are you actually claiming Family Guy requires a high level of literacy? American Dad is dumb cartoon comedy done right.

>People giving serious replies to such obvious shit

>Obligatory American Dad defense force soon to start rambling about no cutaway gags as if that's the sole reason Family Guy is shit

Every single time a Family Guy thread is made. I suppose it's fitting that such shit shows have shit threads.

Did uncle seth parody something you're a fan of? Son, you have 15 years you should know that everything in this whole wide world can be made fun of.

I watched 1 episode of american dad so i'm not quite equipped to reply.

>muh strawman

American Dad is an improvement in more ways that just removing cutaway gags faggot though that's a major improvement in and of itself.

Consistent main characters, actual fucking plots, side-characters that have at least some mild depth (Patrick Stewart and Principal Lewis being prime examples) and a lack of reliance on pop-culture for a start.

Farce/surrealism/satire and plots are the source of humour which is more than 'just' removing cutaway gags.

It also does a solid job of not pushing liberal ideologies (or did until S10): plenty of times Stan's views are shown to be right and Haley is shown to be a useless SJW shit. Sometimes he's wrong sure but he isn't completely incompetent and putting his family first is always a point.

Even the running jokes are better because they are understated, limited in number and don't rely on MUH RANDOM CHICKEN FIGHT. Some of them could even be considered plot arcs with actual goddamn changes in the show.

Seth's influence is more or less only as a voice actor, the one area he isn't completely incompetent in.

Granted the show never reached the highs of golden age Simpsons but it's a lot closer to that formula than it is to Family Guy.

Also Roger is a completely degenerate gay character rather than some idealised 'look how normal he is' bullshit.

Everything and anything can and should be mocked. This is a fundamental rule of a good society: nothing is sacred.

Seth's problem is not his humour being controversial its his reliance purely on randomness/controversy over actual content.

>>277203

Well I like the randomness.. he's also very smug and swag IRL, he definitely knows his value

>i like it because it pushes my fake ideology instead of fake librul ideology, which would be wrong

>gays are degenrut and wrong lol

>things i believe must be reflected in all fiction or else it's evil

You need to separate your ID politics from entertainment mate. Although it's true, AD was way better show in general than FG. at least FG after the revival.

>>277284

Not what I said anon though I'll admit my post wasn't that well written.

Plenty of times Stan is also shown to be wrong. The show does a fair job of showing how silly both sides can be which is a rarity nowadays. Compare this to the modern treatment of Lisa in the Simpsons, for example, or how often even the better episodes shilled for vegetarianism/veganism.

Stan is also not a completely incompetent father whose wife has to do everything (indeed his wife is as flawed as he is). I'm sick an tired of >muh deadbeat white dad shit.

And I didn't mean that all gay characters have to be degenerate it's just that it would have been very easy to make Roger an 'ideal' gay character without flaws. Greg and Terry are also solid examples of gay characters who are more than just into cock.

I'm not even a /pol/ack I just like balance in my comedy.

kill yourself, op. seriously do it.

I'm going on 19 now, and I remember watching Family Guy in 3rd-5th grade along with South Park.

A child's mind can find it funny. I don't know how any self-respecting adult would watch the show.
