American Dad C&C - "Tearjerker" (1/13/08)

[jazzmahtazz]

Stan and the family are characters in a Bond-style spoof when Stan must stop Tearjerker (a.k.a. Roger), a diabolical film producer, who produces movies that can kill. Tearjerker?s fiendish plot involves abducting celebrities from his spa and replacing them with celebrity robots that make horrible movies, all in an effort to make his masterpiece ?Oscar?s Gold? the best and saddest movie ever.

It just started and I like it already.

"What the Hell? You're a gun? I thought you were an eyeball!"

A Spy Who Loved Me homage? FTW.

Klaus is freaky as a human though.

 

[Hayley Jonas]

"Sexpun T'Come". That's great.

Drink it like a bird!

I knew those celebrities couldn't possibly be human.

 

[Zanna]

This is cool, but I kinda wish it was an hour long.

 

[iRoCk:)]

The constant reminder of how crappily made Roger's lair is cracks me up.

"The tour ends HERE?"

 

[Kenzie Babie]

They got Don LaFontaine, cool.

 

[Mr. Moog]

Good thing I don't go to movies much these days.

"Is there anything more clarifying than a hovering blimp?"

 

[Kunmui]

I'm almost positive I know how they're escaping after that act break. Lets see if I'm right.

Thumbs up to the animators that worked on the Bond style opening credits. Very well done.

 

[vetech_61]

I loved the Tehran cutaway.

 

[Nova The Star]

I cracked up when the henchmen fell through the floor.

 

[Jeevs C]

Celebrity babies save the world as well as distract us from it.

Roger sucks as a Bond villain.

 

[icefox94]

Great episode, and loved the 'screw you' joke with the question mark fading in when Roger's hand came out and then fading out when it fell back in.

 

[iminlovewithsoccer]

not his fault, it's the contractor!!

 

[WindowsVistaTechMan]

That has got to be the funniest episode yet. Nothing missed a beat, and the boat tour ending in the office made me roll for a few straight minutes. Bravo to the crew for the creative opening credits, and the bond girl name was classic.

5/5

 

[amanduhh =D]

That was awesome. Tons of satires of James Bond cliches, my personal favorites being Sexpun T'Come and the skiing opening sequence/Bond-esque titles.

Roger had a lot of good lines throughout, complaining about the crappy work his minions did on his lair.

I also really liked how the device Steve gave Stan in the beginning, the breast expansion thing, actually was put to use in the finale as that got Sexpun out of the ropes.

American Dad's been solid lately, but I guess I'm still in majority that it's just not as funny as it could be -- I'd like to see less Roger in the future, especially after the last few episodes centering on him. I even thought Klaus was wasted in this. I was really looking forward to some type of dialog with him but he was mostly absent, which is such a letdown.

However, I liked a lot of episode and found most of it pretty chuckle worthy, but nothing laugh-out-loud like FG was tonight. The whole parody was spot on (if Fox actually advertised this episode, it would be a great viewer-grabber like Star Wars FG was... too bad they missed that boat, again) and I, like the poster above, liked the whole ring thing too, it was nice of them to kind of remember that and the fanservice wasn't too bad either.

This episode didn't do much for me, most of the parodies of James Bond used on this episode have already been done to death.
