The majority of the humor in AD came from character interactions within the cast, and callbacks/callforwards.

That line- "Ultimate Evil. But I got better." Sums up for me the WORST

How would you have known?
Read the review before you comment. Always.
I'm with you, sir! The show fell into that "the female characters are always right and the male characters are always idiot man-children" hole after a few seasons, but 8 was pretty damn funny.
The Roasts have been awkward ever since they stopped being Friar's Club Roasts. The Roast in one of the latest episodes of American Dad was better than any of the recent roasts.
Freaking airlines. I wish they gave peanuts. Half the time nowadays it's like a little packet of "Party Mix" with a stale pretzel, and maybe some kind of sharp-edged cracker that cuts your mouth open and then when you spend too long a time in the airplane restroom trying to staunch the bleeding the stewardesses get…

Duplos were awesome. I could build giant robots with like 30 blocks. 30 Legos can make one giant robot SHOE.
Mine scroll-and-load just fine.
Wait, shit. I want to see what he said.
