Have you learned about sarcasm yet?

Read it again.

Yep, first three seasons are classics. Especially season 2 and 3, which had a really strong run of great episodes. But then again they actually had talented writers then who cared about story, character, and creative jokes.

Terrible episode. I hate the ADD plotting of the show and that episode is a perfect example. Alright, so Peter becomes obsessed with Bird Is The Word, that's cool (although not really), but when Stewie and Brian break his record, he goes to the record store to get a new one, and guess whos working…Jesus! Time to…

Actually the way it's worked is Mike show runs half the episodes in a season and Matt does the other half. In later seasons they stopped doing commentary together and only on the eps they oversaw so you can get an idea who did what. I'm sure there was some input from each other on every ep but at the same time I think…

Yeah I was gonna point this out, although it is his first solo outing. This is def one of his best, behind the ep you mentioned, "In Country…Club". I think they "Hot Water" too, which is another stylistically different ep.

Love how Snot used the term later to describe his relationship with his dad. Perfect capper for that joke.

It was certainly an odd structured episode. But the varied narrative devices this show uses are part of why its so good and well written.

One of the best moments was Barry trying hard to keep up his smiling at Snot while also having to awkwardly keep his eyes on the road.

"I've even heard rumors of people running it under hot water and using it on ice cream cake!"

The fact that he was self-aware about the indie aspects of the trip made his mentioning the MPDG make sense to me. He recognized the trope and called it out.

The scene of them looking over a cliff at a mountain range was probably the most gorgeous shot I've seen in the show.

I love how she dried off with a stuffed animal. Such a nice little touch.

Poltergasm probably wins for me too, but every episode sans last week has been pretty much consistently funny and on the mark. The humor has been pretty varied as well and not reliant on the same thing over and over (for instance very little Roger and his personas, which can be good or bad based on your opinion on…

Yep…episodes like "Lost In Space", "Blood Crieth" and "Hot Water" are some of the most polarizing episodes of the series. Some people just hate to see a show take chances, and with those episodes it's easy to miss the point if all your looking for is huge laughs. For others like me and most folks here, these episodes…

Yes, this totally made up for last week and was just completely genius. Not only an A episode of American Dad, but an A episode of television. This fucking show man, the best thing people know about but inexplicably ignore.

It's so odd that every episode this season has had an end tag (mostly related to said B-plots). Did FOX cut episode lengths or something? Usually we get one or two a season.

Yeah, and we all know it can never be as cool and kickass as Jeff's storyline in AD. It kinda feels like that's what they're going for by doing a story-arc kinda thing (I assume) and shaking things up, although they're retreading their own ground here as well with New Brian part 2.

Are you seriously suggesting they weren't? They used to be endearing and three-dimensional (remember when Chris was more than Peter Jr. and was into art and stuff, or when Meg was written as an actual teenage girl) and weren't just mean, one-note gag machines. Sure Brian and Stewie could be considered an exception,…

Voice actors will be the same. Animation budget might be less…who knows. As for writers, this season already has a whole slew of new writers. This very episode (which could explain it) along with "Buck, Wild" (which on the other hand was quite good) were written by AD first timers. But on the other hand AD veterans…
