Anyone find it odd they never did a Trump episode?
>>153483308noamerican dad long became a less politically minded show and was all the better for itthey have had appearances and mentions of different political figures but thats very very few and far between episodes of klaus saying bro
They did had a episode of stan running for mayor that had a slight resemblance of stan campaign cap being a maga red cap. But other then that the episode is your standard run for mayor episode.
>>153483308This show was much smarter than Family Guy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNw52xkGurw
>>153483308They did a not subtle allegory involving Stan enthusiastically campaigning for like a train or something. He specifically had red baseball caps for his followers. Whole point was that he was over zealous and in over his head but not malicious since iirc it was early in his first term
>>153483308everyone kinda' understands trump is, like... Making jokes about him is a trap. Don't do it.
>>153483308it would be to easy. Also is better to not get in currect politics at least directly, if they are subtle then yes go ahead.signed: Portugal
>>153483308No, they don't need to. And the show is infinitely better for it. Look at what happened to South Park.
I have no idea how this show survived beyond the W administration era it was parodying.
>>153484130Its so insane to think that this show was originally supposed to be a satire of a Bush-Republican suburban family but that idea got tossed by the second season and they just did whatever Paid off well
>>153484073Stop being so deep state numbnuts
>>153483308 I believe Stan Smith believed convicted felons should serve the prison sentences instead of being off the hook for running for office.
>>153484130It can be insanelly funny at times. Which is 1000x more what you can say about Bob's Burger.
>>153483308No. Even Seth has prolly realized how droll making fun of Trump is anymore. All the jokes have been done, and at this point, you either already hate the guy, or you slavishly love him. Plus Family Guy is his dumping ground, so he can just do all the jokes there since Family Guy is already a trash fire as it is.
>>153483308I can imagine such an episode going something like this>Stan is a Trump supporter>Haley is a raging liberal but is more annoying and preachy than usual>Stan accused Haley of having TDS>The CIA assigns Stan to meet Trump for some meeting>Stan sees that Trump is kind of a retard>He and Haley settle their differences>The B-plot involves Steve and Roger, Roger is a Trump supporter, but mostly for superficial reasons because he likes the aesthetics, and disguises himself as a caricature of the average Trump voter so he can get on some podcast or something, it backfires somehow and now there is a witch hunt of Liberals with actual TDS that want him dead, Steve tries to be the voice of reason and gives some speech about how both sides extreme tendencies are dividing this country or something but that also backfires in Steve's face if nothing else than for comedy>The episode ends with Roger declaring that he's going to vote for Vivek Ramaswamy next time
>>153484130Because they dropped that after the first season and just turned it into a bunch of individual vignettes where basically whatever the fuck they wanted to happen would. Hell even in season 1 they were already planting the seeds for that, Stan of Arabia is basically the first American Dad episode in the way people think of the show today.
>>153483800Then why does almost the entire world, except a steadily shrinking percentage of Americans, make fun of him anyway?
>>153485300LOLLMAO
>>153485300You got a source on this or is your basis for this statement literally just anecdotes and vibes?
>>153485105Guest Appearance by Vermin Supreme
>>153485300Hard to resist laughing at the retard, even privatly. But there's a difference between "I don't like Trump" and "I don't like Trump, and I'm going to spend alot of money just to preach to the choir about not liking Trump".I'm not defending Trump, but I just wish after his term was up he's just scuttle under a rock at Lar-Margo and fuck off.
>>153485335Trump's approval rating was down to 35%, last I looked. As for the rest of the world? Well, I'm Canadian. You do the fucking math.
>>153485517>Oh I don't like that Trump, but I'm sure I'd have a beer with him, don'chaknow. Maybe even share some Timbuts before da Hockey game. Still a total HOOSER tho.
>>153485335Is this the TDS thing I hear so much about?How're those gas prices going, champ?
>>153483308trump isn't funny, it's mostly just sad and disgusting.
>>153485587Bitch, I've had my elbows up for 2 years and counting.
>>153483308Have they even mentioned that Trump is the president?Maybe they're in a different timeline now without Trump as president.
>>153483308Given Stan is an old school republican, no way he'd fly with selling out America to Putin. So unless you have a season long plot line of him resigning/getting fired and trying to adapt to civilian life. Which means less Patrick Stewart.Unacceptable.
>>153483308And risk getting sued or have the network's license revoked or billion dollar deal fall through?
>>153485105>>153485613I'm intrigued at how the Epstein class is still trying to force TDS, like it's a magic card that absolves all the actions that have weaken and made America worse off.Either way, because Stan is in the CIA, you can't talk about trump without also bringing up Jeffery Epstein, which is the real reason why Seth Macfarlane avoids it. I'll let you interpret if it's because of Macfarlane himself, or the executives at Fox scalping him.
>>153485417>but I just wish after his term was up he's just scuttle under a rock at Lar-Margo and fuck off.He can't run for president again even if he wanted too, and he's old as fuck and barely coherent now as it is. >>153485517Well my retarded leaf friend, for you see, Presidents usually have negative approval ratings regardless of their political standing. Obama's approval rating dropped to 38% at their lowest>>153486851I diagnose you with TDS
>>153486958Point proven.
>>153486851Trump had a whole term where his connection to Epstein wasn't being memed as hard as it now though and the show didn't mention him. The show has never been interested in referencing him period and it's been for the better
>>153485300Third worlders really can't seem to grasp that we do not give one half of a shit that you're "laughing" at us. You're laughing out of pain because there's a VERY good chance your own shithole is imploding even faster than America, and the only way you can cope is by using the States as a scapegoat for your own failures.
>>153487110Yes, avoiding trump is probably better for the show. BUT if you're being picky about keeping it to shit that went down in the first term. Challenge accepted.Since Stan is in the CIA, they could have easily gone with trump being putin's cock holster leading to Stan trying to sabotage things, since Stan's the type of guy to see the Russians as the soviet union still, leading him to getting fired from the CIA. Yes, Stan was fired once already in Permanent Record Wrecker, but this could be turned into a multi episode plot line.
>>153483308Trump doesn't scream lovable goofball like Bush did, nor does he have Clinton's and Obama's cool demeanor. He's just that that angry, often full of himself guy, which is something that Stan Smith already represents, so including him in the show is kinda redundant too.
>>153487429Trump is actually funny and goofy though. I know TDS is a meme but a lot of you guys really just fucking hate the guy
^
>>153487541It's just weird to only be able to conceptualize a parody of trump being purely negative. That blind hatred is why he won
Your pretentiousness is so thick, I could cut it with a butter knife.
>>153487590Weird
Facts are facts kid.It's a nice night for Taco, I might have some Nacho too.
>>153483308No, but I find it odd how they treated George W. Bush, and it's something I never see anyone bring up.American Dad! was created due to Seth MacFarlane and Matt Weitzman being angry about the Bush administration, and the election of George W. Bush as president. Per Seth's words:>"Me and co-creator Matt Weitzman were so frustrated with the Bush administration that we would just spend days bitching and complaining, and we figured we should channel this into something creative and hopefully profitable."Now, when creatives don't like someone, they typically portray them in the worst light possible, reducing them to a caricature they can belittle. This isn't a modern thing, either—commentary, especially political commentary, has always been like that. American Dad! does this in its pilot episode, but given the pilot itself feels more like Family Guy than anything else, we should probably ignore it. Regardless, when American Dad! announces it's going to have an episode focused on George W. Bush, a man the show's creators very much despised, you'd expect the episode to do the same as before, and portray George W. Bush as the world's biggest idiot, a warmonger, a charlatan, etc. etc., all in the name of commentary and the writers and showrunners venting their frustrations.That's not what really happens in the episode. George W. Bush in American Dad! IS kind of a buffoon, sure, but there's more to him than that. He's portrayed sympathetically; a man who was forced into politics against his will, got in over his head, and is aware he's a flawed person and not the best one for the job, but is trying his best. They aren't anywhere as "mean", for lack of a better word, to him as you'd expect, and he even patches things up between Stan and Hayley by the end of the episode. It's bizarre.
>>153487271Ah, American Exceptionialism at its finest. See, the 'third world countries' don't have a term for how THEY strut around thinking their shit doesn't stink and that they're the greatest country in the world. It's funny that you mention your country collapsing. It's good to hear at least a little self awareness from you. I've never seen anything fall apart and go to shit quicker than America has, and it's frankly fascinating and hilarious. Or at least, it WOULD be hilarious, if it wasn't for all of your people who are going to die as everything goes belly up (many of which already have). I'm not heartless, but you're going to pull your head out of your ass one day, and maybe then you'll be able to smell the ashes of the once great country you live in.
>>153487835NTA but I don't see any other countries sending humans to the moon. Just saying
>>153483308No, they had him pop up a couple times in one Season 1 episode, but that was pre-2016 Reality Show Trump.
>>153487793I wouldn't be shocked if they had to run and get everything approved by Fox and they were forced to take that route. Honestly smart politics on MacFarlane and Weitzman if they could get Fox to go.>Don't clown on our political leader so hard and we'll just continue to rubber stamp renewing your shows
>>153487859>USSR>China>Japan>The EU>IndiaHonestly, really not that impressive by this point.
>>153487888>but that was pre-2016 Reality Show Trump.Trump always floated the idea of running for president but he flip-flopped between Independent and Democrat for much of his early political career before settling on Republicans
>>153487911None of those countries sent humans to the moon. Are you actually retarded dude? In fact, the EU, despite having a space program, has never once even sent humans to space.
>>153487835The Internet was invented by the US Department of Defense back in the 1960s. Like it or not, you're posting on an American exceptionalist internet
>>153487937Oh, were humans the stipulation? Missed that part. Still not impressed. Still doesn't make my life or the lives of very many other people much better off. But hey, if you think walking on a desolate rock makes you a better country, I'll just fuck right off.
>>153485517Aggregated polling is showing his approval is hanging around at 40% which is definitely the lowest for this term so far. Still higher than your assumption.https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating
>>153487955I'm still not seeing how the achievements of a few individuals make your country that great. Plus, that's all besides the point. I'm saying that America sucks NOW.
>>153487999Aggregate polling is an average. I was looking at his current numbers, which are lower because more recent developments are tanking his numbers further.
>>153483308Trump episodes are so fucking funny, makes me want to vote democrat
>>153484130Because it became an entirely different show, the writers got tired of the lazy political satire and realized that the main group was a good springboard for absurd comedy so they ran with that instead.
>>153487970>Still doesn't make my life or the lives of very many other people much better off.What utterly short term thinking"we shouldn't be going to space because it doesn't benefit me immediately!"
>>153483308Did they ever do an Obama episode? Or Biden, for that matter?
>>153484837True. Most everyone can find at least one American Dad joke that really made them laugh, and they're usually just absurd rather than meanspirited or too real-world which gives it staying power and cross demographic appeal. My fiance doesn't really care for these types of shows but she'll still sing: "Girl! You need a shot of B-12!" to herself every so often.
>>153485105I feel like it would make more sense if somewhere in the middle Sran and Haley somehow switched due to circumstances and Haley started being a huge Trump supporter and Stan a huge TDS advocate before they makeup.
>>153489403I didn't say we shouldn't go to space. There's just not much reason to go to the moon once you discover that there's not much of value there. If we could get to another habitable planet, now THAT would be a worthy goal.
>>153485517You said the whole world, is this a global approval rating?
>>153487503>but a lot of you guys really just fucking hate the guyCould it have something to do with him being a malignant narcissist whose decisions as president are hurting millions of people and doing damage that will take generations to repair in the best case scenario? Naaaah, that's just silly, must be TDS. Orange daddy good, Fox News said so.
>>153489788Do you think the entire rest of the world likes how he has spent the past 16 months fucking with the global economy with his trade wars and ever changing tariffs, threatening to invade Greenland and Canada, starting a war with Iran that has skyrocketed oil prices for lengthy period of time now? His second term has been nothing but endless barrage of economic instability and chaos to the globe.
>>153489941But that mean... orange daddy bad? No, no no no... orange daddy good... orange daddy good... please love me, daddy...
>>153486958>He can't run for president again even if he wanted too, and he's old as fuck and barely coherent now as it is.Exactly. I'm just really tired of all the chaos of the 2020s.
>>153489788No, if it was global, it would be much lower. Trump has the lowest approval rating in his own country than any other president throughout American history. Worse than Biden, worse than Nixon.
>>153490014Good, because there's even more chaos coming in the 2030s!
>>153490033>worse than NixonYou know you're a bad president when you make FUCKING NIXON look better by comparison. I'm sure old Tricky Dick is looking up and smiling. He wouldn't be looking down, obviously.
>>153490014Recent statements from him brag that he's been president for 3 terms already (and passed the cognitive test with flying colors that many times as well). He *actually* believes that he was still president while Biden was in office. He's delusional and demented, and he's been trying to get the nuclear codes.
>>153490041>He wouldn't be looking down, obviously.With any luck, he soon will.
>>153490061>and he's been trying to get the nuclear codes.Because of course he doesn't want the world to outlive him.
>>153490067Sure, at an even lower circle of Hell. Trump ain't gonna have to pack warm clothes where he's going, but if he doesn't go there, everyone who is there is gonna need warm clothes, and pork futures are gonna go through the roof, if you catch my drift.
>>153490089My dad actually believes he is the Antichrist. If I believed in that stuff, I'd agree with him. There aren't many people who have done as much harm to this world as he has, an yet no one has had the balls to put a bullet in his head yet. Evil wins when good men refuse to take action.
>>153490129Not from a lack of trying
>>153490129>My dad actually believes he is the Antichrist.I'm not even religious and I think he's the Antichrist too. I see it as like that whole mantling thing from Elder Scrolls: if Trump didn't start off as the Antichrist, he's doing everything that the Antichrist is said to do, so for all intents and purposes, he is the Antichrist now.
>>153490196The one in Butler was absolutely fake. Ear tissue does not regrow. Not sure about the one at the golf course. The most recent one was probably real, but everyone seems to be skeptical of it since everyone on the right immediately started to shout that they needed to let him build the ballroom. I think they're going to need more than just a lone gunman to pull it off. It would be poetic justice if they just pulled a Jan 6 on him.
>>153490206Yeah, that's why I say I'd agree with him. Even a quick Google of the signs of the antichrist will bring up a lot of worryingly fitting comparisons. "He will make it so none can buy or sell without allegiance to him" sounds shockingly similar to his tariff schemes. "He will work to remove all barriers to his lawlessness" seems like his undermining of the constitution and immunity from prosecution. There are enough similarities to make even the most rigid agnostic pause.

>>153485300because they're lazy, stupid, and boring
>>153490041>>153490206>>153490238>>153490332These are legitimately some of the saddest posts I've seen on /co/ funniest part is that you fags probably aren't even Americans lmao
>>153489929What president made decisions that didn't hurt millions of people? They all make decisions that help millions of people too. You only think trump is a narcissist because you think about him too much like all libs do
>>153490459>>153490623>>153490636Uh oh, the Russian bots are rallying.
No biden either and the reason is like >>153483353Politics are boring in muh comedy cartoon and the worst shit that ever happened were dipshits wanting their favorite comedian to dunk on politicians.
>>153490636So true, anon. A real narcissist would never make everything about himself and absolutely would not keep putting his face and name to all kinds of government stuff, like renaming buildings after himself, putting his signature on the dollar, force a photo of himself in national park passes, place a photo of himself on actual passports, drape his image in banners that hang from government buildings… You have never seen more noble and humble president than Donald J. Trump!
>>153490755Literally everything I was about to say. Trump checks every box on the narcissist checklist, and he's not just a narcissist, he's a malignant narcissist. He actively wants to hurt people because he enjoys inflicting pain, even upon those who voted for him. He's not a republican or a conservative, he's a sadopopulist, so all of the cruelty is intentional and the point, and not even his own supporters are safe because he hates them too. He looks down on them for being so stupid and easy to manipulate, and he was only putting up with them while they were still useful. He outright said "I don't care about you, I just want your vote," and they voted for him anyway, so now they're not useful anymore, and anyone who knows how Trump usually treats people who stop being useful to him could've seen everything that's happening now coming from fucking Mars.
>>153483308They dont want to be seen as funny so they avoid making fun of dictators
>>153484130American Dad was better developed than Family Guy from the start, McFarland simply had a bit more experience, and a better idea. As Family Guy exploded in popularity, where it was ground into the homogeneous sludge it is now, American Dad was below the nose of the networks, and attracted genuinely funny creatives who got experimental. McFarland’s superior archetypes paid off (Stan being CIA smoothes technobabble, Roger’s alien-ness allows for him to do basically whatever) and American Dad’s success compounded, the writers are fans and genuinely seem to enjoy writing new episodes.
>>153490738Kek cope >>153490755Yes Presidents get and put their names on shit. Tragic I know but you'll survive
>>153490923Look, I know why people like you can't accept that Trump is the worst president America ever had. Because if you accept that, you also have to accept that everything you've sacrificed for him was for nothing. You alienated your friends and family for nothing. You helped unleash immeasurable suffering for nothing. Everything you've ever said or done to support Trump was for nothing. And accepting all of that would destroy you, so you feel like you have to keep doubling down on supporting him. You have to hold on to the hope that your sacrifices will be validated in the end, because you've invested too much to walk away. And it's easier to keep investing than it is to admit that you invested so much into a man who never cared about you and never will. So on a completely unrelated note, how's your relationship with your father?
>>153487503Yeah but he's funny and goofy in a Chris-chan kind of way, if CWC held the power to control armed forces, mobilize police and execute people.
>>153484073>Signed: PortugalYou weren't even the first person from that country to comment here, you retard.Stop being an embarassement online.
>>153485300You want a list?
>>153491156And someone once wrote a story showing EXACTLY why someone like Chris-chan should never be trusted with real power.https://sonichu.com/cwcki/A_Girl_Who_Brought_Down_the_World
>>153491230>A Girl Who Brought Down the World is a novelette that serves as an allegorical moral tale for Chris, with hopes Chris would see some parallel to his own life and do something to correct it.That was definitely made out of a misunderstanding of what is actually going on in Chris' head. With him being in a much worse position of autism than some of us, Chris Chan may not be capable of properly comprehending the message, considering his delusions and what not.

>>153484130Because the neocons never went away
>>153491210Might be fun. Go for it.
>>153491755That doesn't matter, it's still an average, meaning it will always give a more favorable number as Trumps approval continues to plummet.
>>153492436This is true, but if you just call them out for the cult they are, they just stick their fingers in their ears and go LA LA LA, CAN NOT HEAR YOU, DADDY TRUMP REIGNS SUPREME, BUILD THE BALLROOM.
>>153483308I found it odd they just pretended kamala was president in that AI episode.
>>153490805I firmly believe the "drug boat" campaign of which he has not produced a gram of evidence was just an excuse for him and his cult to revel in murdering foreigners for its own sake
>>153492950The cruelty is the point. We have reached the age of sadopopulism. Making things better for everyone was lame and boring and hard and probably woke too. Trump's followers are happy to suffer and die as long as everyone they hate suffers and dies too. Spite and sadism are all they care about, and they'll sacrifice everything they have to "own the libs" because they'd rather have no world at all than one they have to share with everyone they despise.
>>153490041You think somehwere at 3am in the White House you can hear an "AROOOOOOOO" in the darkness?
People have been uploading episodes on Youtube. This shit has helped me fix my sleeping schedule. I'm able to wake up very early now. :)
>>153493126The ghost of Nixon haunting the halls that's why they demolished the east wing
>>153493028Psychology is going to have a field day with 'em as time moves on. I'm just glad I'm not where they are mentally. Like really, being sincere, I can't imagine waking up in the morning to go "time to be a huge asshole to everyone about anything".
>>153484073>it would be to easyIn this case, you'd use too, not to.
>>153493373>Psychology is going to have a field day with 'em as time moves on.If the world even survives that long. I wouldn't put it past Trump and/or MAGA to burn it all down out of sheer spite. Like I said, spite and sadism motivate them entirely. They want to hurt people, especially anyone who tries to stop them from hurting people, and they'll gladly hurt themselves in the process. Anything is better than admitting that they're wrong.
>>153490840Can we pls stop giving credit to MacFarlane for American Dad? The show was conceived by the other co-creators and MacFarlane had nothing better to do since Family Guy was cancelled
More important to have the best President get screentime. Also they only used Obama like once and Biden never.
>>153493821I doubt it. Much as it sucks there's still plenty good and good people in this crappy world. No one's going to just "let 'em have it" if they try. And as history shows, good amount of times, good still triumphs.
>>153483308Dropping politics was the best thing to ever happen to American Dad
