Re: American Dad - "May the Best Stan Win" - 02/14/2010

Funny episode. I especially liked the combined Mexican-Canadian slang from the future.

BTW, why is this show now in 16:9 format, but Family Guy is still 4:3?

Because American Dad is animated in HD and Family Guy won't be until next season.

I thought they were spoofing Jean-Claude Van Dammes' accent.

American Dad -- "Return of the Bling" -- 2/21/2010



Spoiler:
When Stan admits that his heroes include Ronald Reagan and the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team, including Michael Eruzione and Rob McClanahan, Roger confesses that he played on the team as Chex LeMeneux. But when Roger comes clean that he took steroids to win, they both lose. Meanwhile, Reginald tries to win over Hayley by taking her to a concert.

How the hell did they know that the "Miracle on Ice" plot would be relevant for today?

I don't think it was relevant for today specifically, but it was cool how they tied in the Olympics theme.

Loved Roger as Gollum.

Plus today is the 30th anniversary of the event.

Loved Roger in the dominatrix outfit seconds after the lights went out.

I fell asleep during the rerun of Family Guy and woke up when Haley was flashing her tits at a... Koala? Needless to say I'm still not sure if I was awake or just dreamt that.

I thought there was no new American Dad until summer. Did Sons of Tuscon get cancelled already?

I for one, welcome "AD!" back. It's far more deserving to be on the Sunday night line-up than "The Cleveland Show" or "Family Guy" for that matter.

On April 6, 2010 it was announced that Fox had cancelled Sons of Tucson after only 4 episodes,[4] the remainder of the episodes that were ordered (9) will be burned off beginning June 6, 2010 at 7:30 ET/PT.[5]

I thought this was a pretty decent episode. Even though the Hayley/koala bear storyline was a little weird.

Was the training montage set to Dirk Diggler's "The Touch" from Boogie Nights?

No, that was "The Touch" from the original Transformers Movie (1986)

And, yes this is the best McFarlane comedy out there right now. I now refuse to watch teh crap that is Family Guy these days.

Looks like it is both. I had to look it up. I wasn't aware that it was form the Transformers, but it is the song from Boogie Nights as well. Mark Wahlberg's mangling has left it burned into my brain forever.

I forgot that Marky Mark sang it in that movie.

The Stan Bush version is from Transformenrs: The Movie though. That and Dare are classic 80's movie rock anthems.

Thanks for the link. I came to this thread to ask if The Touch was a Dirk Diggler original. I always assumed it was. Now I go hunting for the original track for my ringtone.

I'm surprised fans of an animated TV show haven't seen the Stan Bush/Transformers music video.
