I don't own American Dad or any of the clips or images used. All copyright belongs to the respective owners, I merely claim Fair Use for the purpose of criticism.
I love how Roger is canonically so lonely he used his personas to make connections and KEEPS UP WITH THEM--but he's also so fickle that he makes a new one when he loses interest.
one of the things I wonder about amarcin dad is what happened to the nabors of the smits you know the one with the wife with a thing for Francine probably taken out of the show the same as apu was removed
we need more American Dad videos more then South Park
rickey spanishhh
"tell them how you killed our baby" is the best fucking line of the show. The delivery, the build-up, and the execution of the voice actor(s) was just perfect.
Fun Fact: At Comic-Con 2013, it was announced that Roger would possibly have a spin-off movie set on his home planet, however in 2022 this was revealed to be cancelled
Tbh I never really enjoyed the episode he actually went back to his home planet with Haley's boyfriend(I forgot his name, it's been like 3 years since I saw the show), like the entire appeal of Roger is that he is a crazy Alien on earth trying his best to be a crazy human
@@govardhanposina17Jeff is Hayley's husband. They became husband and wife in season 6.
@@icecreamhero2375 right I forgot, like I said,been 3 years
Yeah part of Roger's charm is how well he plays off of the Smiths
In the newer seasons one particular episode covers Roger's backstory and sets up a spin-off series
Roger is the drag queen we all need in our lives.
We all know if he was in our life our lives would be ruined XD
Hell noooo😂
We all need genocidal, rapist, abusive and imortality drag queen? K den
@@bricedbeginnerwhy not he looks better

How Dare You Say That Dont Be So Raven Transphobic 🤬😡😠
Roger is a villain he pretended to be a woman's son and her long lost husband at the same time just for fun
Lmao yes I remember 😭😭😭😭😭
Ricky Spanish is his most dangerous persona.
Lies, clip clop is by far the most dangerous
According to Rodger, Jeanie Gold is the only persona who can rival Ricky Spanish
@@thedarknight307 yeah and that's a two for one if you don't get the right wedding gift she sends her enforcer
@@byronrush9802 My guess she uses Valik because she wants to keep her reputation. Seeing she runs a respected wedding planner and is a mom. Valik is ust her muscle. We saw when p*ssed she will smack a bitch up
My scar burns! He's thinking of me!
OMG that episode with Roger and Francine being the fake couple and trying to one up eachother like a couple of nuts is seriously a favorite of mine - so so good! 😂
Roger is by far one of the best, most iconic characters in television history!
Epic pfp
@@TerrafiedMossThanks!
@@MarxistMomentum
Your Welcomes.
I’ve been saying this for years, he transcends the show and is basically the perfect “sitcom” character!
The part that I question is Roger is an adolescent by his species' standards, but sometimes it feels like he's mentally older, especially with some of the sex crimes he commits.
Honestly Jeanie Gold being the sister of Ricky Spanish wasn't too out of left field given how hard they went in her debut episode.
"Listen to Jeannie or I cut you!"
I love your theory that his boss knows, he probably let the alien live at stan's place because he thinks it's funny. To be honest if he really wants roger, he would have sent teams to find every globe to find this gray skin or send the task force.
I love the Roger rabbit holes, where one persona leads the family [usually Steve] on a wild Roger chase from one persona to another. I wanna say one went so deep it overflowed back to the first persona.
Roger is great but Francine is easily my favourite AD character. I like all the character generally but Francine is my hilarious, drug/alcohol consuming, dumb/smart queen
smart, but not very
@@enter_eaglei love how she is academically smart but makes dumb life decisions
She's homegirl
@@jessicakakern4571 she's such a fun character. she just wants to get high and slam a 2 liter of fanta
@devioncummings5238
"Stop that you're white"
"... I'm homegirl"
I predict that in the series finale, it will be revealed that all the characters except Jeff Fisher have been Roger in disguise.
Everyone but Stan and Jeff, Roger and Stan have been married the whole time completing the shipping arc
As messed up of a character as Roger is, I do gotta admit I find almost all of his antics hillarious, even the ones I shouldn't lol
Speaking of which, how come nobody is respecting Klaus, but they respect Reginald?
I mean, it's always "Shut up, Klaus. You're just a fish!" and not "Shut up, Reginald. You're just a koala!"
Probably because Reginald is an agent and isn't stuck in a bowl on top of seemingly everyone in Langley Falls likes Koalas
Klaus is a sympathizer of HH
Cause Reggie’s 🎶cute as a button🎶
@@laurorrichie7788 and he gets women also there's all the koala puns he can sing
@@DodgeHammercock 😂My dumbass said, "HH Holmes?!"
ive been watching this series again recently, it is definitely better then family guy, much more enjoyable honestly
I love that half of the show’s characters are just roger’s personas and that most of the time he’s the driving force ((good example being legs and wheelman,where every single case they’re on it’s revealed Roger was the one who did it))
Roger is my favorite Seth McFarlane character he is by far the epitome of what makes Seth's humor so much better than Matt Stone and Trey Parker want to recognize. Consistent chaos.
BTW *whispers* Ricky Spanish *whispers*
matt and trey don't really have a problem with the humour, it's about how it''s delivered. basically, they think having random cut away gags is a cheap way to add humour to a show, they think humour should come naturally from the story of the episode and honestly i agree with them. that's why i like american dad more than family guy, with american dad i remember entire episodes but with family guy i just remember certain gags, but i couldn't tell you what the plot of the episode was
@@666FallenShadow I don't blame you for seeing American Dad as better because it is. But while I agree mostly with the premise of the cutaways being lazy it's only become lazy since Seth stopped writing for the show. It was much better specifically in the first 3 seasons. The first 3 seasons of Family Guy might be some of Seth's best work ever.
@Buddha_Gotama yeah, there is quite a difference between the early seasons and the later ones. In the early seasons the story of the episode actually mattered and the family felt like a family. Later on, they all pretty much hate each other. I especially miss early seasons Brian who was a cynical alcoholic rather than the dumb caricature we have now.
@666FallenShadow Agreed. I never really enjoyed Family Guy because the cutaway gags were brutally unfunny, the characters often annoying, and the humor offensive (unfortunately not the entertaining kind of offensive that challenges you. More like offensive to the audience's intelligence). American Dad sometimes has similar problems but the humor comes more naturally and Roger literally carries the show.
To be fair, Seth McFarlane's humor isn't really my taste but Roger and his countless personas are his best creation so far and they have endless potential
@@NoxAtlas to be fair i don't know how much of the humour in family guy comes from seth, he's only credited as a writer for a couple of episodes and i doubt he has time to write for two shows, i think nowadays he mostly just does the voices
I love his cat costume he wore when they raided Stan’s half brother Rusty’s mansion in Arizona (thanksgiving episode).
and in the battle royal episode
I grew up in Wisconsin and there was this tanning place called "Jamaican me tan". Deadass.😵
*Roger* is one of my Top 5 favorites characters of all time. 👽💓
😆 I like that at the beginning, his personas were merely disguises to get out of the House, but then later seasons basically retconned it that Roger was always into making Personas. Even the writers realized it was more fun that way to tell stories about Roger before meeting the Smiths (like the episode were Roger met Stan in the past)
I would say roger is super important because he sets up the plots and other characters phenomenally, but for some reason the one-liners and jokes they give him are not nearly as funny as the rest of the family
Roger is half of the human population in American dad
I never realized they didn’t know Dr Penguin was Roger. I thought they all knew and just accepted it.
I feel like rogers definitely talked about being doctor penguin to the family? Something in one episode about not remembering what his reason for not being there was supposed to be?
@@maddieclarke258I feel like he's transformed into the doc in front of a few family members.
There is an episode (s20 I think) where Hailey goes to Roger and demands to see Doctor Penguin
@@igloo3252it's the episode where the family were all lying to each other and Klaus had to intervene. The family definitely knows Dr Penguin is a persona.
@@notyourfrind9415It’s sorta of like with Max Jets, they know it’s a persona but it treat Roger as if it’s a different person
That's definitely what I love about American Dad is that there's always a story someway. And the music is phenomenal. Especially when Steve sings lol
in some ways I'd still find American Dad so much better written then Family Guy in so many ways with there characters
roger is a perfect character for any kind of series- you can really just make him/them do whatever hell he/they feel like doing in any plot whatsoever. (cant wait to see you at ctcon btw)
I'm surprised you didn't mention the recent America dad episode that covers the backstory to Rogers personas that also leave into a spinoff
_R i c k y S p a n i s h_
*L i c k y A n u s*
I would love an American Dad movie with every persons living in town like the 400 episode.
I love ur video essays! Also I voted for the crossing guard persona since i love seeing Roger be both sweet and unhinged, so it'd be fun to see him be overprotective to kids while also being absolutely scary to the drivers.
A drag queen sounds fun, but that sounds like a persona they'd do eventually because of how popular they are and how roger is known for his drag.
“dc metro area” virginia representation takes a L once again but i understand 😔
There is a episode where everyone sees Roger as a human where the Smiths have a disguise they can not see through
Two favorite jokes they did with the Roger Personas I liked was when Roger and Haley kept interchanging role plays until they were each other and Haley snuck some sort of benefeit from it when they role plays as each other. The other was one of the end of the world episodes and ALL of Roger's personas were individuals that was caused from Roger climbing into some advance science tech.
Im praying the cartoons gods that this video passes the Dagmar test. American dad is right after southpark in my long running animated show list. And of course, Roger is just hilarious 80% of the time for me and has such an interesting story so great choice for the first video about the show 😁
Talking about the personas with out talking about the post apocalyptic episode where all 200 get released in the world
Sidney got someone else to kill Roger because he is a pasivist. He didn't want to get his hands dirty.
Even though I didn’t see what big deal with Roger dressing up as drag queen as Roger has had meny other female personas over the years but the main reason why people were up set about Roger dressing up as a drag queen is because at the time of the episode being made that it was stated that drag queens are illegal in schools meaning that are not allowed be in schools at all hits when WBD go wind of that the episode itself was pulled from all broadcasts as result of this but that everything that I know about that topic.
jamaican me furry
Great video! I might be wrong on the timeline, but doesn't Stan first claim to be a killing virgin AFTER he's been rebooted into his personal heaven reality after the apocalypse and rapture? I think the inconsistency also occurred to me, and I reasoned that in his new reality he had purged his killing past, as most of those casual kills happen early on. This is also how I explain the sentient spa death, and the occasional reveal that they're filming a tv show. Stan is just secretly his own mini god now. I love the creativity AD has shown over the years, it needs a lore dive just on the nature of it's reality.
As a furry, you are a furry. The end
It's okay to pretend you were named after Abigail Marston
Ima just say monk WHO GIVES A DAMN YOUR A FURRY you still seem like a great person also i agree american dad is best

Got here late. Bullock doesn’t care about Roger because Ricky Spanish gives him great drugs. Not sure if you will mention it, but Roger’s costumes have an effect where even the family can’t tell who he is(Hulk Hogan episode)
Each member has 1 disguise they cannot see through.
Each family member has been blinded by at least 1 disguise. After that they're always able to tell.
Oh wow american dad!! Yay
Alas poor Sidney
How is being a furry problematic? There's a difference between furry and Zoophile
I just have one(1) thing to say………RAIDER DAVE!!!!!
Roger is truly a man of all seasons
the sydney hiring a a hitman thing sounds like a scene that ended up getting cut, tbh, lol
sux
I ain't like all that South Park stuff but American Dad sign me up for that
Good morning USA!!!
I have a feeling that it's gonna be a wonderful day
The sun in the sky has a smile on its face and it's giving a salute to the American raaaaace!!!

Thanks for another great and informative video. Also, i didn't know u havw a sister.

Love your video essays Kitty Monk!
You're totally a furry and you clearly have a fursona but if you don't want to admit it, that's okay, sometimes it takes people a while to come out of the furry closet...if ever.
BTW Furrys aren't problematic, it's Zoo's, Pedo's, and people who show off their kinks in public spaces that are truly problematic. There's just some bad apples that give Furrys a bad rep. The general consensus is that furrys are people who appreciate Anthropomorphic characters and the art surrounding them, it does not necessarily have to be NSFW as there are many in the furry fandom prefer to stick to the cleaner SFW side of things (especially because there are minor that are furrys too). Atleast that's how I've seen things... The actual history of Furrys is dark and messed up, but I think the fandom has moved on far past that.
American Dad is my #1 out of them all. It still holds up. Much thanks to Roger, but all the other characters as well. And let's not forget the longest running story of them all - the one of the Golden Turd! It spanned like, 15 seasons starting in season 1 (or was it first episode season 2?)
Roger is the funniest character in American Dad
I can't tell if you were actually correcting the sploding joke, it's a play on "splaining" like explaining. It's a literal play on words.
for some reason the only reason i listen to your content is because of HEARING your opinions but for some reason disagree with a partial amount of them
Boy im looking forward to future video's im with you kitty i love this more than family guy
I said it American dad is better than family guy i can't be alone thinking that
Max Jetts says the reason he has money is because he knows something about Bill Gates which, "the money faucet keeps flowing"
My real name is Roger so I always get called “Roger the Alien.” To be honest, I don’t mind.
The "Jamaican me crazy" joke lives in my head rent free, and I'm not going to lie the one in my head is way more racist sounding.
6:22 I'm half Jamaican but I won't turn my chance in I agree with your statement on those things and I would consider it to be too rude.
... it's not problematic to be a furry lmao, like yoy have a fursona or a main presenting anthro-cat it's okay to try to have mutuals within the community because despite common belief with the News Broadcasting most of the negatives [RainFurr, problematic other-such] but there is still artistic prowess and talent within the community to learn and grow from those mistakes.

Roger is Roger - that defines his charismatic persona
Oh thank god! Ive been wondering if you’d get into American Dad.
Really? We're at the point where "Jamaican me crazy." is considered horribly offensive?
Well it's not horribly offensive, but it's just a bit in bad taste for some. I may not understand but if actual Jamaicans are bothered by it we cannot say it isn't offensive to them. It's their right. I can't say what is and isn't offensive to a group I'm not apart of.
i shutter to think people are out there who watch comedy this literally....
"The guy f**k** a tree" Hey I did that once it was very romantic.
Roger is my favourite drag queen
The Jamaican joke is a pun. You don't need to be on eggshells about it.
