American Dad!

Stan has his heart set on speaking at the Republican National Convention on behalf of the Langley chapter, but when they pass him up for another candidate, he accepts the only endorsement he gets from the local chapter of Gay Republicans. While the people around him disapprove of his new lifestyle choice, Stan decides to follow his heart to speak on their behalf.

Overall, a fair episode, but it is possibly offensive to gay people

A 6 out of 10

Correct me if i'm wrong, but hasn't American Dad already played the whole homophobia, homosexuality card. This show is struggling no doubt about it. Sure Stan is the protagonist and sure every now and then he pulls out some classic one liners but he is becoming heavily overused. He is funny but he's no Peter Griffin. Less Stan Smith i say. Where is the world was Roger, Klaus and Hayley? Steve just annoys me when his with Stan. It's like he is just Stan's puppet. The very last scene of this episode almost made me puke while cringing. Where was the season one banter between Steve and Roger, Francine and Klaus, Hayley and Stan? Now that was American Dad at it's best. For god's sake, pull your socks up!

A funny episode, but could get a little boring at some parts, but the majority of the episode was very good. This episode had a good plot and it was funny. What more could you possibly ask for?

Stan being a homophobe, who is ignorant that certain people are homosexuals in an episode with gay stereotypes has been done in The Simpsons a decade ago, but this episode was dealt in a very different way, and while it isn’t quite as funny as Homer’s Phobia, Lincoln Lover is still hilarious, with Stan’s musical, his speech about being tolerant about certain orientations and focusing hat on another party, the fact that he has an annual gay bashing meeting and the straight questions.



This episode is funny, stereotypical and a great plot with a brilliant moral and memorable moments with Stan’s intolerance and confusion, making for a great instalment of American Dad.

This episode was well done even in its normal mentioning of actual figures in American Politics. The Gay man who was escorted out of the "Straight GOP Convention" at the beginning looked suspiciously like the brilliant journalist Andrew Sullivan. Andrew Sullivan is a Gay Republican who works for Time and the republican publication The New Republic. His blog even mentions this episode: http://time.blogs.com/daily_dish/

Overall, I thought this was a really funny episode, but some of the singing parts were annyoign and dragged out. I know singing is a big part of thsi show, but it was just really boring and uneventful to me. However, this episode brings up the fact, that even if people are different, they deserve equal rights as us, and shouldn't be ostracized just because of thei sexual orientation. My favorite part of the episode, is when Stan talks to Francine while she's ont he toilet. Overall, this was an excellent episode.

This episode is very timely given the propositions on gay marriage in several states ballets this week. This episode uses humor to dispel misconceptions and stereotypes. It is also takes some great jabs at the apparent paradox of being gay and republican. It drives home the point that hate is taught. It uses Stan's "naiveté" to drive home the point that being gay is not a choice. It was funny to see Stan "try" to be gay only to discover he could not choose to be, even if Francine's "bat cave" occasionally grosses him out.

I happen to like "American Dad," but not this episodes. I got a few laughs, but this episode didn't go far enough. therefore, I had to turn it down. But I enjoy the jokes being aim at both the Democrats and the Republicans. One joke in the beginning in the headline which reads that a vote for democrat would kill angels. it's very funny, depending of what party you belong to. I think the show along with "Family Guy" has tackle the subject matter to many times and they should go on to other things. "american Dad" should cool it on gay iksses and go on to something else.
