Possibly the funniest recurring character on American Dad. Voiced by Forest Whitaker, Turlington is a detective of various employers who speaks in a very low voice and is suspicious of nearly everyone. A running gag is that he is slow to react and forgetful of trivial items, which pertain no usefulness whatsoever to his investigation, allowing suspects to get rid of any incriminating evidence. He is also seen often during a time of distress or extreme relief engaging in a sorrowful, half-sobbing dialogue with one of his dead parents. Episodes of Turlington's apearence include: Chimdale, Live and Let Fry, and Meter Made.

Get the Jethro Tulling mug.Yet another classic word from the genius of Douglas Adams (read the books if you haven't already). "Turlingdrome" is a word known throughout the Galaxy as a grave insult, equalling the insulting insultiveness of such words as "swut" and "joojooflop." Thankfully, however, it doesn't even come CLOSE to that deadliest of all words: "Belgium."
Enlightened HG2G Reader: "See that guy over there? He's never even picked up the Hitchhiker's Guide, the turlingdrome. He probably doesn't even have a towel."
Random Unenlightened Non-HG2G Reader: "Er, pardon me, but what the hell did you just say?"

Get the turlingdrome. mug.Christy Turlington is one of the most beautiful souls to ever walk this Earth. One of the original 'Supermodels' of the 1990's (along with Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour and Kate Moss) she has graced over 500 magazine covers, numerous music videos, and demonstrated to the world that a career in fashion modeling need not lead to drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, scandal or self-destruction. By all accounts Christy Turlington is a loving mother (to daughter Grace and son Finn), wife (to filmmaker/actor Edward Burns) and advocate of spiritual awareness (born a Catholic she's also become a voice for Yoga) and social betterment (giving time and energy for many social issues beside friend Bono of U2). She's a joy and an inspiration to millions of fans and admirers, and typifies both beauty on the outside and beauty on the inside.
"She is a spiritus mundi, a soul spun of stardust, but it's what's inside that shines. She's a real Christy Turlington."
