Recap / American Dad! S9E7 "National Treasure 4: Baby Franny: She's Doing Well"

Go To

Francine has a crisis when everyone remembers that she was rescued from a well as a baby, but hasn't done anything with her life.


Tropes:

  • Dramatic Irony: Before jumping back into the well, Henry asks Francine to provide a photo of her clevage once a week. Francine obliges for the rest of her life, unaware that Henry was killed on impact when he dived in.
  • Hard-Work Montage: Steve tries to help Francine accomplish something by having her solve the Yang–Mills existence and mass gap problem. She comes up with the answer "6"; however, an MIT professor tells her that the solution won't be a number but an entirely new concept in math altogether.
  • Overly Long Gag: The MIT professor calls out a student named Matthew for bluntly telling Francine that she failed, then sees a piece of the ceiling fall on his head, cries for him, and finally ends by saying "Math...you...can...under...stand is what I teach in this class."
  • Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: Combined with No Sense of Personal Space, Terry does this when he tries to get Francine to say what she's done with her life, leaning closer to Francine with each word until their faces are touching.
    Terry: Tell us. What. Did. You. Do. With. Your. Gift. Of. Life?
  • Wingding Eyes: When getting the idea for male stripper shoes, Roger's eyes turn into dollar signs with a "cha-ching" sound, but he collapses on the floor in pain and cries that it's happened again.
