Recap / American Dad! S4E16 "Spring Breakup"

Go To

Francine leaves Stan for a week to take care of her father, as she has grown tired of his childish humor. During this, Roger transforms the house into a spring break destination.


Tropes:

  • Didn't See That Coming: Carmen Selectra announces that Roger is the king of spring break, but he declines as he feels something is missing. Because the entire point of the MTV show was to declare Roger as the king of spring break, Carmen notes that the producers are going to have to sort something out to deal with this unexpected event.
  • Do Wrong, Right: Francine might be frustrated with having to clean up Roger's party, but as a proud former party animal she comments on some of the partiers being lightweights.
    Francine: Who's the prom queen who can only handle half a Cider Jack?!
  • Embarrassingly Painful Sunburn: Hayley falls asleep in the sun and by the time she wakes up, thanks to Stan throwing a beach ball at her, she is completely red and covered in a clearly painful burn.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Roger at one point calls Francine for help regarding a drunk guy humping their garden gnome, stating it was funny at first but is getting too inappropriate.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Steve might be desperate to lose his virginity, but he won't give it up to someone without a clean bill of health and natural breasts.
  • Kevlard:
    • Roger is surprised when his taser proves to be a No-Sell on a fat guy's gut, so he bashes the guy in the head with his staff.
    • When the stage collapses and Carmen Selectra is killed, people bemoan the fact she would have survived if she had some form of padding in her chest, indirectly referring to her removed breast implants as a form of artificial Kevlard.
  • Ridiculously Fast Construction: Lampshaded. Roger manages to convert the entire house into a beach resort during the time it takes Stan to walk Francine to the car, something Stan is completely stunned by.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Snot, Barry, and Toshi flee when the college girls make it clear that they're not just going to get boob, but drunk, sloppy sex.
