    Stan needs to stop Roger, playing an evil director who is planning on making a movie that is so sad, anyone who sees it will cry until they are dead! Will Stan be able to stop Roger before it is too late?

    Good episode. I know it is a spoof of James Bond movies, but truthfully I have never seen a 007 movie. So references were lost on me. But there still were some funny parts, and parts I liked, like Stan's way of beating Roger, Steve's gadgets, amongst a few other things, so overall this is still a great episode and my grade is going to be an A+.moreless

    I have changed my mind this is the best American Dad episode ever! It was hillarious right away when Stan Bond's snowmobile landed on James Bond while they were parachuteing. I was laughing so hard when you saw Stan walking in that eye thing and it shot him mutiple times. It also had a great action scene in the begining with Stan,James Bond,and those guys shooting at them. Roger was hillarious when he kept complaining about the contractor but his funniest part is when he screamed mike your the worst contractor ever! This episode was much beter then Mcstroke the Family Guy episode that aired the same day as this.moreless

    This episode of American Dad is the best one I've seen so far! Very cleverly plotted with extremely funny gags. Before I seen this episode I considered American Dad to be an average show but now it's fantastic. This episode changed my entire view on this show! Characters that were normally not very funny were surprisingly hilarious. I am a James Bond fan myself which made this episode alot funnier but some of the jokes were truly awesome, for example, I felt one of the funniest bits was with Steve playing as S, (just like Q the gadget maker in James Bond), and just giving Stan gadgets that would make woman's breasts larger. I would say this is going to be har to beat from the american dad writing staffmoreless

    "I've had sex with a lot of women, and let me tell you, you... Should probably get tested." LMAO! Best line ever! American Dad! can be funnier than Family Guy sometimes. I like the little James Bond spoof. Steve's breast-enlarging pen was hilarious. Then the cell phone makes girls' boobs bigger, too! Matthew McConaughey was shirtless in this too... Shocking. LMAO! A robot McConaughey... Wow. I loved Matt Damon's impersonation of Matthew McConaughey. "The contractor who built this place screwed me good!" LMAO! So funny. Smith and his boss dress up as Asians... Secret Asians. LMAO! Very clever! I love Seth MacFarlane. Best animator ever!moreless
