Context Recap / AmericanDadS5E20StansNightOut

Go To


1	Stan goes for a night out with his CIA coworkers, which takes one bizarre turn after another.
2	----
3	!!Tropes:
4	* AlwaysALiveTransmission: At the end of the episode, Stan and Francine are watching the garden show again. The host then goes to take a viewer call, who is Stan saying he's going to kill him.
5	* AsYouKnow: Subverted. After finding that the car and the kidnapped victims have been taken to Fernando Jaramillo, Stan's coworkers react with horror and he says that, since they all know who he is, he won't have to explain it. Then a janitor says he doesn't know who he is, so Stan explains it.
6	* ADayInTheLimelight: For Dick, Jackson, and Sanders.
7	* ChekhovsGun: Subverted. At the start of the episode, Stan watches a show that explains how to start a lawnmower on the first try. When he's captured by the crime lord, Stan bets him that he can start his lawn mower on the first try, using the technique he saw earlier. It doesn't work, but gets unexpected help from a mouse named Cheesers. At the end of the episode, Stan calls the host and says he's going to kill him for false or ineffective advice.
8	* EveryoneHasStandards: Stan is by no means a genius or a good person, but he shows that he's far more smarter and moral compared to how borderline psychotic Dick, Jackson, and Sanders are, and repeatedly tries to be the voice of reason as the night gets more insane.
9	* HenpeckedHusband: Discussed. Stan's coworkers accuse him of being this and he lashes out at Francine about it. Confused, Francine happily states she's fine with him spending the night with the guys from work if he wants and is surprised Stan thought she'd have a problem.
10	* NoodleIncident:
11	** All nights out for Dick, Jackson, and Sanders are this. During one, Sanders fought and killed a panda.
12	** While Stan is dancing at the restaurant, a young boy tries to dance close to him before his father tells him to stop because he gets molested on a regular basis.
13	* OffScreenMomentOfAwesome: Stan unleashes his pet mouse Cheesers on the crime lord, but he only runs away. The next day, Stan is fine because "Cheesers came back."
