History YMMV / AmericanDad

** For some it's more a case of TheyChangedItNowItSucks. Reginald was cool when he first appeared with a smooth baritone voice and his own theme song. In his subsequent appearances they replaced his original voice actor with a less charismatic sounding one. It's Reginald was once Isaac Hayes being and now he's Marlon Wayans!

** Here's two; Francines tearful regret of her lack of a tighter family in "Vacation Goo" and Roger's song in "AT the Abusive Terrestrial". For the first, the fact that many families drift apart from one another very much is really a downer and very relatable. The second, much like the first, is also relatable. Also [=McFarlane=]'s singing really sells this.

** OOOOOLLIE NORTH! -bum- OOOoOLLIE NORTH!

** The reveal of Francine's face which had been horribly damaged after Lorraine threw acid at it in "Flirting With Disaster".

* DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck - Pretty much the entirety of "Bully for Steve." In order to teach him to stand up to bullies, Stan spends the entire episode beating the crap out of him in such a way that should have had him locked up for child abuse, assault, battery, and any number of other actual crimes, and [[MoralEventHorizon absolutely deserve it.]] Physically abused Tropers agree - [[DudeNotFunny DUDE, NOT FUNNY.]] Of course, it makes the first EarWorm mentioned below much more glorious...

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: The reveal of Francine's face which had been horribly damaged after Lorraine threw acid at it in "Flirting With Disaster".

*** The close-up of Francine's disfigured face in "Flirting With Disaster" is an even worse example of ''BodyHorror''

* CompleteMonster: Jeff's father [[spoiler: framed Jeff for smuggling pot. Later, he even tried turning him in because he wanted the bounty on his head.]]
** Francine's birth parents. [[spoiler: The gave her up just because children weren't allowed on first class flights.]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards Klause was even disgusted.]]

** The 1000th vagina joke, to an extent. where the heck did that come from.....

* DorkAge: Averted. Fleshing out the characters and changing the focus away from national security has [[MultipleDemographicAppeal widened the potential audience]]. And the original continuity has been respected, for the most part.

* HilariousInHindsight: In "Daddy Queerest," a drunken Stan mistakes Nelson Mandela for Morgan Freeman. It ''is'' somewhat funny due to Mandela's and Freeman's similarities in appearance, but it really becomes HilariousInHindsight when you realize that the episode came on seven months before the release of the movie ''{{Invictus}}''. Take a wild guess as to who's plays Nelson Mandela in that movie.

-->'''Allison''': Al is short for Allison. Were a lesbian couple
-->'''Stan''': Love the long hair look on men. Jesus had long hair but his breasts weren't as luscious...holy s**t your a woman!

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Roger's bad tortillas cause him to evacuate 'a turd of solid gold' which becomes the MacGuffin in a very bad B-movie - causing two overly long scenes in unconnected episodes where characters we've never seen before kill each other for said golden turd. Fans generally have found them confusing rather than funny.

* TheScrappy: you'll find very few people who likes Reginald the koala.
** [[ArchdukeCthulhu I like him...]]
* SeasonalRot: An increase of RefugeInVulgarity and lesser talented writers for season 6 make this frustratingly happen to the show.

* TheScrappy: you'll find very few people who likes Reginald the koala.

** Stan's flashbacks to Hayley when she was a child.
