American Dad

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The vent-hood in the kitchen above the stove/island is always disappearing and reappearing. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. The handles on the fridge/freezer also keep changing sides. Sometimes they are on the left, sometimes they are on the right. And the living room is always changing sizes. Sometimes they open the front door and the couch is right there, and sometimes it's several feet away from the front door.

Phantom of the Telethon - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: After Roger gets his organ, we see Stan by the totals display. However, the donations jump from 382,760 to 382,840 between camera cuts. When we see the donations rise normally, you see the figures morph into the new ones. This doesn't happen on this occasion. (00:10:00)

Camp Refoogee - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: After the last school day has ended, Stan chases Steve into a canyon Terminator 2 style to show him camp brochures. After Steve has a go at Stan about not wanting to go to camp, Francine enters the scene, knocking Stan's car out of the way. The car is almost ten meters away from Steve and Stan as she enters the scene. Francine doesn't move the car in the next shot. But in the next shot after that, the car is suddenly right next to Steve and Stan. (00:01:15)

Bullocks to Stan - S1-E9

Factual error: Steve and Roger make a prank phone call to Tony Blair at 4:30 AM GMT during sunset in Virginia (EST/EDT); because of the 5-hour time difference (4 hours during Daylight Savings), it would be 11:30 PM or 12:30 AM in Virginia, which would be nighttime.

Continuity mistake: After Steve accidentally jabs the wood burner into Stan's penis, he screams and a avalanche occurs. Then when Stan screams a second time due to putting the cream on his penis, the avalanche happens again but the same amount of snow is on the mountain even after a load already fell off it.

Continuity mistake: When the bus driver finds Roger, the Dignity Towers Retirement Home bus is only a few feet away from them. But in the shot where Roger says "How do I get home?

Stannie Get Your Gun - S1-E15

[The Smiths have just heard a news report on TV about a crime on their street.]
Stan: Right in our own neighborhood. Well it's clear the time has come for me to show you where we hide our guns.
[Pulls a gun out from under the table.]
Stan: Glock. Seventeen shots. [Takes pen from a pen holder.] Pen gun. Mightier than the sword. [Pulls sword out of knife holder.] Sword gun. Mightier than the pen gun. [Opens pantry door.] AR-15. MK-5. Mac-10. Paprika.
Francine: That's weird. I use that pantry a lot.
Stan: And the paprika not enough.
Hayley: I can't believe this house is teeming with guns. Guns kill.
Stan: Oh. Guns kill. Is that right? [Takes gun out of jacket and puts it on the table.] Well, let's see about that. Okay, gun. Kill. Go ahead. Kill someone. Don't be shy. See? Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Guns defend people against people with smaller guns.
Hayley: You're such a fascist.
Stan: Peace pusher.
Hayley: Murderer.
Stan: Hermaphrodite.
Francine: Stan!
Stan: I'm swinging wild, Francine.
