Recap / American Dad S 2 E 12 Its Good To Be Queen

Go To

Stan goes to Francine's high school reunion because she was prom queen, only to find she wasn't supposed to be. Meanwhile, Steve and Roger start following a charismatic and possibly biblical pizza delivery guy.


Tropes:

  • Chekhov's Gunman: Stan accidentally kills Jackson's CIA body double, and later uses his own double to distract Francine.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Stan reveals that he's used his double, Bill, to do things with Francine that he didn't want to. She's outraged that he set her up with a complete stranger, which Bill denies because they took a cooking class together.
  • Gilligan Cut: Roger is completely skeptical about Mitch until he is taken along on a delivery.
    Roger: (sarcastically) Oh this is gonna be totally life-changing.
    (cut to Roger and Mitch leaving the house)
    Roger: (wide-eyed) That was totally life-changing!
  • It's All About Me: Stan cares more about Francine being homecoming queen than even she does.
  • Messianic Archetype: Mitch resembles most depictions of Jesus and charismatically uses pizza to deliver his message.
  • Shout-Out: Stan's bullies tried to bathe him in pig's blood as a prank like in Carrie. However, one of them didn't finish reading the book, and so Stan has several live pigs fall on him.
    "You stopped reading after the word 'pigs'? That wasn't even the end of the sentence!"
