A cartoon about CIA agent Stan Smith and his family, (son) Steve, (daughter) Hayley, (wife) Francene, (alien) Roger, and (goldfish) Klaus. Despite being created by Seth Macfarlane, the way the jokes are played out are quite the opposite then that of family guy. While taking no quick jab at Family guy, most of it's humor is quick gag jokes, that do not fit the plot, and involve some sort of random flashback. American Dad, however, does not do this and it's jokes can easily be applied to the plot/characters.
Example of this: In American Dad, Steve's friend, Toshi, is often misunderstood as he speaks in Japanese. Thus, the characters interpret it to fit their own mind, and as it's normally the opposite of what he has actually said, it makes a simple, humorous joke without having to use a flashback to randomly go off the storyline.

Style of joke often limited to the dads of the world because anyone else would be able to see how embarrassing the punch-line and response will be.
>You know what a wok is don't you?
>(flatly) What dad?
>It's what you throw at a wabbit when you don't have a wifle. Hur hur hur.
>Ugh. Dad joke.

His kid got into a great college thanks to his step dad
But most of his pictures are fun places without his kids
That fool never showed up to my school once, facebook dad

When you have a few beers and get a nice buzz/warm blanket effect on your brain. Just like when your dad used to come home late after a hard long day at work, drink a few beers and fall asleep watching the TV feeling good.

An older, well-established man who is sexually appealing to younger women between the ages of 18 and 29. A hot dad does NOT necessarily have offspring, but needs to be at least 35 years of age or older in order to qualify for the title of ''hot dad''.
