Seth MacFarlane is one of television animation’s most pioneering innovators.
He gave us that programme about the family with the talking animal and the overly intellectual baby. Then there’s that other programme that just started with the family, a talking animal and an intellectual baby except this time they’re black – genius!
If one thing is certain, it’s that American Dad bucks the trend. Sure, it has an American family and a talking animal, but this time there’s an alien. To celebrate the release of American Dad Volume 5 on DVD, we’ve compiled together some of the show’s most audacious quotes.
We would have loved to have put video with it but Fox wouldn’t let us, so instead we’ve provided pictures that you can cut out and animate yourself while repeating the dialogue out loud. Honestly, we’re too kind. Check it out after the jump…
10. When Francine misses the taste of greasy food, anything goes. Not anything, just what seems funny. A cute toaster wouldn’t have had quite the same effect.
Francine Smith: “Aww, what a cute little bunny! I’m going to pop you straight in the deep frier!?
9. Do you know what we love about this quote? Seriously. That was a question!
Avery Bullock : “A machine that turns water into cocaine… I’ll just hold onto this…”
8. Women take a lot of shit in cartoons but they are always the worst characters as well, so it’s justified.
Francine: “You ruined everything!”
Stan: “Everything? (Imitates police siren) Oh, that’s the Hyperbole Police coming to take you away, and lock you up in Exaggeration-traz. I think I made my point. Eloquent.”
7. So much?innuendo here that we’re just going to ignore it.
Avery Bullock : (To Stan, after riding him) “Silence, man-horse!”
6. Did you know that Steve Smith is voiced by Scott Grimes? He played Malarky in Band of Brothers. That knowledge alone makes this show 14.7% better.
Steve Smith: “Did anyone else get a boner when Akiko slapped me?”
5. German stereotypes, you can’t beat them. Probably because they’re true. That’s why Klaus is so unfunny through most of the show.
Klaus: “We have a saying in Germany… Don’t blame the fish!? But then we have other sayings too, mostly involving genocide.”
4. How do you make a comical alien in a hit animation show funnier? Make him gay. See, this show tackles social boundaries as well.
Roger: (On the computer) “Fine! If I can’t get to know Jeff in person, then I’ll develop a relationship with him like fat people do. Through the internet!”
3. The last three quotes we’ve picked all relate to vaginas. We’re childish like that.
Stan: “I’m… I’m not gay. Sure, Francine’s bat-cave grosses me out once in a while…”
2. Roger decides to finally confront fruit’s biggest taboo.
Roger: (When holding up a pomegranate) “Look at this thing, it’s like a woman’s baby cannon.”
1. And finally we decide to use a quote that insults the fairer sex. If we didn’t know better, we’d say that this show just objectifies women. Oh, wait, it does… and that’s why we love it.
Stan Smith: “Son (Steve), feelings are what women have. They come from their ovaries.”
For more hilarious quotes like these ones you just done gone and read, check out American Dad Volume 5 which is available from 14 June.

My favorite quote, when Francine is wooed by a version of Stan who came back from the future.
Francine (to present-day Stan): “I’m leaving you for you. In the future. Now.”

How could you forget “With Friends Like Steve’s”, when Steve says “Sure, you can shoot me with your gun, but are you willing to try something elaborate and unneccessary?”

Francine Referencing Her Vagina after birthing Hayley: “Hey I just checked myself out in the mirror, and it’s not ruined… I mean, it’s not great, but it’s not ruined.”
When Roger and Stan are on a deserted island, Roger gets a feathered companion: “Cause we’re optimistic… Ira and I.”
And upon thinking of these quotes, I laugh and laugh… quietly to myself anyways.
Joel says
“You’re my friend, right?
“Yeah”
“Then let me shove a fire cracker up your ass!”
– Steve
“It’s the only picture where you can’t see vag. Ah vag the little Filipino boy”
– Stan
Hahaha, brilliant.
Rudy says
“And look at my pendulous nads.
Every time I walk, it’s like a game of Gnip-Gnop.”
-Steve Smith in “1600 Candles”

How do you like your French toast dear – Smelly and ungrateful

Mine is when Jeff explains that he doesn’t have a family except for his dad because his mom ran away before he was born, and Stan is like- “Uh, what, how… how is that possible?” WTF

“I apologize… to the maids at the Red Roof Inn who had to clean the curtains after I wiped Hayley’s excitement all over them” – Avery Bullock, 100A.D.
