Review EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS plz
"Why do selfish people have kids?"
1. Narcissists are shagging
2. Money/tax dollars
3. Support
4. Emotional support
5. Image
6. Control
The list goes on
Too lazy to reach for the condoms seems to be another. Or just assume since they get married kids are expected, as if it's some of tradition rather than responsibility.
Don't want the stigma of having an abortion
Too many people think that having kids = happy life, only to be disappointed and realize that 99% of the time having kids won't fix your already failing marriage/relationship
@@FangirlismDetected It doesn't help the confusion when delusional parents keep preaching that having kids was the best thing that ever happened to them, it gave their lives so much meaning, blahblahblah. The inherent flaw of that particular argument is the majority of parents who say that always _wanted_ to have kids and centered all of their life goals around that concept as if it were an inevitability, whereas other people who prioritize other goals and aspirations over having kids don't have that mindset and don't realize that the parents proselytizing procreation (unintended alliteration is TIGHT!) always planned to have kids. The result is someone who never wanted kids and who never had a plan to add kids to their lives finding themselves in over their head as they try to balance their previous life goals with the needs of raising children to chase some ethereal concept of "happiness" and not realizing that it's actually impossible to balance both things.
@@Dargonhuman Calling those parents delusional is wrong though, unless they’re claiming it’s also best for everyone else. If it was the best thing ever for them, then it still was, “for them.” Framing it as preachy sounds like a personal problem.
Rudi be like: I'm not like other women, I ✨ neglect my children ✨
Rudi walked so Lusamine could run
@Kh4Life arab moms abandon their kids?
@Kh4Life Um, don’t generalize my guy? I’m a arab and sure my mom isn’t the best but no mom is great. Don’t be like that.
@@sleepieststella *WHEEEEEZE*
It almost feels like the show is made for karen's, with Karen characters in it. I mean, they're narcissists, right?
"why would these selfish people have kids?" I wish I had your innocence, there's way too many parents like Rudi and even worse than Rudi than you think there are...
The art style looks like something you would see in the 2000s.
Reminds me of Detentionaire. Which was animated in flash. But it made up for the low quality animation with good writing and characters.
@@marschallblucher6197detentionaire was BANGER
"Why would these selfish people have kids?"
Let me tell you. I was a teacher for only two years, and my heart goes out to teachers everywhere, because one of the saddest things about being a teacher is realizing how many narcissists have children just so they can create mini versions of themselves. These types of parents often see their children as extensions of themselves instead of individuals.
Either that, or they often have this vision of "completing the set" as in to have a complete & full life, they often see kids as a part of that instead of just wanting them because they have a desire to be parents. It's sad.
Basically, narcissists are people who have problems and instead of trying to fix their problems, they try to do things that cause more damage than good.
They also want children to control them, to have someone fully dependent on them. Its gross
Your comment was very enlightening. As someone who periodically babysits, and who is around kids often I can definitely see what you're saying.
Yup, a show about parents that really want to just create glorified clones of themselves. Gross.
@Riorozen please don't remind me, I already know what you mean 😔
"Why would two individuals obsessed with themselves have children?"
Children of narcissists: 👀
Deadass why I won't have kids. Too damned selfish and in love with myself lol
@@Sleepy_Apocalypse bro I get you
Im going to cry :(
@@gorbsupreme7555 Respect brother. Love the name👍🏿💯
@@Sleepy_Apocalypse Okay, but you and Saberspark I think might be the only people with that presence of mind. To my point, May I present: most parents
I had honestly thought that "Mother Up" was going to be a series about a mom who constantly has to deal with her chaotic family.
I was dead wrong.
It could easily go into “boring mom and the adventures of her more interesting husband and kids”, like The Simpsons from Marge's perspective. I don’t know where the line between making the female main character a complete asshole and the boring foil for others adventures would be, but I'm not a screenwriter. I wish an actual writer would actually try to strike that balance and write a fun, adventurous mom with her chaotic kids.
Did you regret watching it?
I never did. This review is all I know of it.
"Why would these selfish people have kids at all"
Saberspark you know what an "Accident" is, right?
İ dont know man.Some gay people try to look homophobic so it will hide their gayness
@@catinamask5019 what does that have to do with anything
@@neksnek2032 same
@@catinamask5019 what
@@intellectualbug7423 what?
It feels like they set themselves up perfectly for the "celebrity adopts minority/impoverished child for publicity" route but then just didn't.
I feel like that premise works better if it’s live action, since you have the cute kids as a selling point
That's what I was thinking too. It would have tied in perfectly with the controversy that made her have to retire.
@@Mangacide And by the end of season 1, she realized that she genuinely cares, and starts to actually TRY being a good mom, possibly turning down a way back in to the industry. Boom! You have a character showing growth, reflection, and compassion. Things that shows like Family Guy and Simpsons can't/won't do as they are now consigned to plot of the day episodes before hitting the reset button at the end.
I think Allen Gregory kinda kneecapped that possibility
@Josh the Joshey Boii what does that have to do with the comment
If your show is a “female version of X”, “male version of X”, “gay version of X”, etc then it’s doomed from the start. Don’t make shows solely to be a ripoff, at least try to be original
Would this include fanfiction?🤔
@@animelover_1012 yes
At least fanfics don't try to make money with it...
Only if it's not very unique
@MR.CLAW97 nope, most gay people do notice it, (the high praise comes from media) as there's literally a term for it "queerbaiting" as it's called,
"Why do selfish kids have kids?" Because they are selfish! They don't care like the guy who had 40 kids!
Excuse me he had *HOW* many?!?!
Was it with some person, multiple people, adoption? No matter how you see it it just asks more questions
@@tinle9 this shouldn't be that surprising, there was someone who had literally 69 kids
(haha nice)
BUT STILL IM NOT KIDDING
THESE PEOPLE BE POPPING OUT DEMON SPAWNS FROM THE CROTCH BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE IT-
"There's no female presence in animation"
*stares in magical girls*
Yes.
Every bandori character is female
Not in US-centered adult animation, like Family Guy
Powerpuff Girls, She-Ra, Teen Titans had great female characters, etc...
For the next 200 years that saying will probably stick no matter what.
"Theres no female representation in adult animation, so we made one"
"She has a very male energy"
I just... how did she not hear herself?
Either she was trying to appeal to a perceived audience that would want a female lead with "male energy" or more likely she wasn't really thinking when she said that and just kept going.
@@somercet1 why bring feminism apart of this?
@@garnetBUNNIES These kinds of people are always obsessed with feminism. Must be so much fun at parties.
I think that she had.. SOME kind of idea... Like she knew she wanted to break the mold of what female characters in animation are supposed to act like... and peoples' first idea of how to do that is to make them act like men for some reason.
@@garnetBUNNIES It's already a part of it the moment they took a show type that's not inherently gendered and then say "it's like x, but for women!". Case and Point: Roseanne. I know she's all canceled and shit these days but that was a fantastic family oriented sit com that managed to both be pretty real to life alot of times and also still be remarkably entertaining and it was female led. The family sitcom is not a gendered genre, live action or animated either one.
usually when shows or movies are advertised as "the female version of _____" or focus on gender/sexuality instead of what makes it original/different, they pretty much always fail
Most shows and movies fail anyway so that doesn't really mean anything
You hear about Q-Force? Awful.
Girl Ghostbusters.... RIP
Well, I think advertising something by directly referencing another property tends to be a bad idea in general. Not only does it do a disservice to the creative crew, it turns away some people from the get-go.
- If someone likes the original property, why would they watch (possibly inferior) clone of it, when the original is right there?
- If someone doesn't like the original property, why would an imitation catch their interest? Logic would follow that if they dislike the original, they'll dislike the copies as well.
- If someone is a fan of a given genre, but does not like that specific franchise, then why would they watch an imitation that'll be inflicted with the same flaws as the original?
@@Nakia11798 I did and I Hate it
i used to watch this show when i was around 9 or 10. the fact that even a 9yr old couldn’t laugh at this either is sad
I’m in my 20’s and I think the show is great. You shouldn’t use your personal experience as a blanket statement for a tv show
@@TStamp-lw4ku i didn’t??? it’s literally a opinionated statement and i thought i made that obvious
@@fayeissilly222 you used your own experience to legitimize the Criticism that the dude making the video was making by implying that if a child and an adult didn’t like it then it must factually be bad. You can pretend this isn’t what you were doing but it’s obvious
@@TStamp-lw4ku uuh???? ok ur making me uncomfortable imma stop interacting
@@TStamp-lw4ku That's how art criticism works. It's very subjective. The fact she was 9 watching a show aimed at adults may be why she didn't enjoy the humor.
However, you shouldn't expect objective critiques in a comments section. It's a place for people to give their personal opinions or experiences, and that's what was done.
You likewise are welcome to leave your opinion of the show in the comments.
Saberspark going off on a rant about lawnmowers is so damn funny to me for no reason
"Why did these self centered people have kids?"
They use kids for attention, as accessories, some weird idea that kids are pets 2.0, investment in their retirement by hoping one makes it big, couples think it's the "next step", to gain a one up on their family and friends, etc etc
Oh shit, how do you know my parents!?
So you mean I should return the leash and collars for my kids?
Sounds a lot like my cousin
Don’t forget the smooth brain Midwesterners that think babies save relationships.
@@Kygaahh right idk why people think that
Jesus, Saber, you asking "Why did these self-centered people have kids?!" has led to so many sad and revealing comments down here.
Yep, it's kinda a hellhole down here.
I cant imagine parenthood being anything other than a completely selfish endeavor.

“When your SHOW gets CANCELLED after ONE SEASON, what will you HAVE?”
“Y-you, Peter...”
“Heh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh... we did the thing from the show.”
Saber's rant about the lawnmowers had me rolling lmao.
Honestly, I feel like this could be a lot funnier if Rudy had adopted the two kids for a better PR move. She's not retiring/quitting her job, she's only taking a break until media outrage dies out. Put her agent as a character who insists that Rudy has to raise the kids in order to get the media back on her side
See, that idea works a lot better. It sounds like a natural premise for Rudi.
Rudy ends up loving the kids and she doesn't want to admit it. She can commit to horrible actions but she'll never hurt her kids. And she'll threaten anyone who hurts them. This makes Rudy redeemable so it gives as a reason to root for her. And if you're main character is going to be an asshole they need someone to care for. Just to show they're not devoid of empathy.
@@HannahDecember that will be key; no matter what Rudi does, she would NEVER intentionally harm either child. In addition, Rudi and that blonde chick (I forget her name) could bond and become actual friends over time.
add character arcs that pay off and I'm sold
@@Jonkin715 I think it would really pay off too if she started as an asshole who's abrasive, is out all night partying and drinking, all in all neglecting the only thing that can save her job. Have one of the kids do something that sets her off and as she storms to her room she talks to the agent/bodyguard about a terrible experience from her childhood that she feels blame for because she did the same thing. The kids overhear her and understand her more, and the agent gives her the levity that the kids are innocent and not responsible for her past, and that she's responsible for their futures. She starts trying to better herself and even starts going to AA meetings for stability. Let her stumble, let her fail, but always let her learn after she does. Give the kids depth and make their reactions to the situation reasonable, including their initial joy and hope only to be reluctant and doubtful, to then grow slowly into trusting her as she's growing to care about them. People don't need to be perfect, they just need to be real. The world is full of moral ambiguity and I think a portrayal of this could be so good. Especially at the inevitable end, where she gives up on the career and takes a humble job to have a real family without the glitz and glamour. After a cool arch as well Agent ends up becoming their significant other since the kids basically view them as a parental figure to begin with (given they're the only responsible one, even if they're cold).
"Is that how kids talk??"
Me listening to every American cartoon show voice acting.
Probably a very unpopular opinion but that’s how just about every Rick and Morty character sounds to me
i had moments were i yell/talked because i couldn't figure out the volume yet
@@heatherfarewell6851 that’s a actual design choice and makes sense for most characters like morty
@@heatherfarewell6851 same. I honestly kinda dislike that show?
@@JackieMReacts Felt that. I was born half deaf and learned to talk when I had to yell to hear myself. Even though I no longer am hearing impaired, I still do speak loudly just naturally. I suck at judging my own volume, which can be frustrating and drives me crazy in choir when I'm supposed to sing out.
Here’s how you fix this, have the dad be a semi-decent person who loved his kids and split with the main character to raise them by himself, but he dies before the start of the series. It works for bachelor dad comedies, it’ll work for a bachelorette mom comedy
I'm damn happy I have the most loving mom I could ask for. She raised us very well and shows us nothing but kindness
Now I want Saberspark to do a video on Spongebong Hemppants, it was a blast, for 3 episodes...

@@ARCtheCartoonMaster well that was no a big no
But that was how his parents treat cartman so that how cartman grow
It’s super sweet that you’re confused about two incredibly selfish people having children. That does not surprise me at all, but I work at a public school and at LEAST 80% of parents, probably closer to 90%, seem like they could star in this show.
I feel like Hulu really needs to push their animated content more. I seriously didn’t even know that this show existed. This is a chance for other platforms besides Netflix to blow up.
"There are lots of bad fathers in television and, you know what? We'll show them that women can be assholes too!"
-The producers probably, not noticing the problem
Lmao
Well then ig they didn't know Karens exist
Hah.
"Why did these self-centered people have kids?!"
Unplanned pregnancy, my guy. My wife's parents would tell their own children to their faces that they never meant to have them.
My parents told us that we weren't planned specifically, but that they were ready to have children. And they really were. They brought us up right.
Wouldn't abortion be an option?
Thats dark
That explains the first accident with "Chad the boring assed Venture Capitalist"...but two back to back, with the same dry, uninteresting narcissist as a sperm donor? Not buying it for a second. Maybe if the ridiculous rapper stereotype fathered one of the unwanted progeny, during a coke and Crystale fueled one off romp with his overpaid self serving promoter...that might work!
@@celticfury7328 True, I always think the first child can genuinely be a surprise but not the second

That rant was amazing
It's lawnmowing time *
Whenever anything is called "This thing. But for women" it makes it seem like the original wasn't already for women. And that's just bizarre to me.
I'm not a fan of Family Guy like, at all, but I've never heard anyone from the fandom or even who make the show ever say anything exclusionary about their women fans. I've talked to just as many women fans of the show as I have men fans and not one of them has ever complained about inclusivity or problems with representation. So for a "clone show" to lean on that "...but for women!" marketing smells to me of virtue signalling and so-called "woke culture" that never really seems to find much success.
esp considering lois nad francine arę better characters than Peter griffin.
It's kind of insulting too, like it's implying that women are too dumb for Family Guy, so we need our own Family Guy, * For Her *
Yeah it's weird
I'm just here wandering, why women would even want to have "their own Family Guy".
I love that he’s been reviewing adult animation. Hopefully one day he’ll do the Venture Bros.
i actually used to watch this a lot when i was little and i completely forgot it existed. thank you for bringing back these memories
Well, them having kids could be an optics things, as they say. They didn't have kids because they cared about having kids; they had kids because it was good for their image.

"Theyre either the wife or the mother"
Idk man, to me Marge is a character on her own, not just "homer's wife". And more times Than not she shines as a model of independent woman.
exactly
I was gonna say
The thing is that in cases like "Family Guy" and "American Dad", the husband was the main character, but the wife became her own entity, able to even be the lead in several stories.
@@Jonkin715 One of the greatest episodes Family Guy of all time is Customer of the Week. Also Last No L.
But a lot of the time, her character gets retconned, forgotten, or ignored since no sane “independent woman” would stay married to someone like Homer. How many times has Marge gotten a job, hung out with a new group of friends, and picked up an interesting hobby only to reject all of that because she wasn’t giving 100% of her attention to her family and Homer is literally too incompetent to be by himself?
My husband n I actually liked this show. It wasn't a masterpiece or anything but it was watchable.
Love your videos
If Mother Up came out today I feel like it would be more popular especially with Karen’s and stuff becoming mainstream
Also one of the production companies for this show was Mass Animation which at one point was working on a blazing saddles parody for kids
Don't forget all the #girlbosses and other trendy buzz words that invoke female empowerment that we'll all cringe at in 5 or more years
I see mother up, picking up and possibly getting rebooted on adult swim.
" Karen’s" don't exist, it's something the internet made up.
Nah id get torn apart for trying to portray a horrible wine mom stereotype. The only reason family guy has gotten that far is an established base of oh its just like that but any show that attempts the same humor gets booted immediately

I think the problem is when shows say they want to be “Family Guy: for X” instead of trying creates stories on their own merits. I don’t think people want “Peter Griffin, but a lady”. One is enough for all of television lol

Got cancelled after 4 seasons so I don't think the problem was a black Peter.
0:16 F is for family and family guy are two completely different types of tv shows. Just because they both have a family in them doesnt make it a clone. They have 2 completely different tones and styles of comedy. Also, king of the hill came out 2 years before family guy. So family guy would really be based on the simpsons and king of the hill. Not the other way around like you mentioned.
Yep. If anything, F is more like Bill Burr's take on King of the Hill.
Shire of Frodo forever!
At least f is for family is good show and humour isn't same as family guy
*I REALLY wish Saberspark would review the Canadian sitcom, "Fugget About It". It only had three seasons, but is really enjoyable and is also a Family Guy copycat. I recommend it.*
"why would these selfish people have kids?"
having grown up with a narcissist mother while also being engaged to someone in the same boat, there's really only one word for it: power. narcissistic parents often feel the need to control something or someone, thus they control their children just so they can have that sense of power.
granted, i am not a parent and certainly don't speak for all [good or bad] parents out there, so i can't outright declare that narcissist parents don't love their children. it's very likely they do, but that's not the issue. the issue is how they tend to use said love as some kind of guilt trip when you realise the kind of abuse they put you through, and potentially the abuse of others around you. they clamour on about having done the bare minimum (clothes, food, etc) and fail to realise that if they hadn't, they'd go to jail. worse yet for them, their children would be taken away from them, and they would ultimately lose the only person(s) they could completely control. i cannot tell you how many times my parents have used that shit on me.. and how meaningless it actually was each time as i got older. for the longest time, i believed the only way my mother expressed her love for me was through gifts; she couldn't be bothered to hug me when i got older.
and just recently, she had the audacity to ask me to lie on paper for her (saying i live with her despite kicking me out when i was 16) just so she could buy a house, claiming it would be a better future for my brother. it made my stomach turn: my mother needed me, and my brother was depending on me.
except that wasn't the case at all. when i finally told my dad and stepmother about it (who are just as bad as her), they were pissed. i'm only turning 19 this august. if i cosigned this, my life would be ruined; my credit score would plummet. finally, i stood up to her and said no. she hasn't spoken to me since, which is fine.
*** tl;dr, selfish, narcissistic parents only want children so they may control them for their entire lives, and may even go so far as to use them just to save their own asses.
Glad you stood up for yourself. It's a tough road surviving narcissistic families and lovers. I left my abusive relationship with my mother and family 7 years ago. I'm 27 going on 28 in a few months from now. I didn't think I would be free but I did it. So congrats, it's one of the toughest things to overcome.
@@the90sbrain thank you so much. i don't know if i can ever leave her though, at least not any time soon. i have a little brother, but neither of his parents are great. his dad was sent to prison a week before he was born, so. i plan to stay in touch until he has his own phone at least.
and i'm really happy to hear you got out of that situation as soon as you could. you deserved that liberty.
@@waterdhavian_wizard thank you. It's thoughtful of you to stay in touch with your brother until he is set at least. Narcissists love isolating and brainwashing their victims to be pitted against others, especially someone like you, who fought back. My mother and her sisters turned my entire family against me when I took my last stand.
They took everything from me and abandoned me in the apartment my mother and I lived in, hoping I'd starve to death and give up since I was confined to my wheelchair at the time. I had to figure out how to do everything on my own in a short period of time with little direction back when Google wasn't as helpful as it became. After all these years we talked 3 times in 2018. Small forced banter and a laugh. Her compliment was, "I'm surprised you are still alive. You lasted longer than I thought you would". Confirming she was trying to indirectly kill me back then. I haven't looked back or yearned for her affection since.
@@the90sbrain it's fucking devastating and horrifying how real life villains exist in plain sight like this.
@@waterdhavian_wizard Yeah, it's even worse realizing how many people are like this today. It's a trend to be evil, fake, and apathetic. The more time passes on I understand why elderly people are accepting of death. It's a release from this Hell.
tuca and bertie is great :3
Absolutely. And way more empowering to women than this dreck.
hey shgurr!
Great to see you Shgurr, it’s been a while. Do you have plans to get your channel going again?
I liked it alot but I found the last 1/3rd of the season to be much weaker than the first 2/3rds.
@@lordfreerealestate8302 You like Bless the Harts
I actually really like the animation, especially in the intro.
LOLOLOLOLOL love the Vegeta impression :D
Drinking Game: Take a shot every time you see a Family Guy clone that has failed
We're not responsible if you have liver failure by the 4th show
This challenge should come with a warning label.
This is not a Challenge is a death sentense
@@CoolerMike liver failure makes more sense
Why make a game of it? The pilot episode of Mother Up made me want to drink more than your game would... "Black goat sucker"... I'm going to go drink vodka and get that out of my head.
"What if we did [popular show], but for [demographic x]?"
"You mean, 'what if we made an inferior copy of something because it's popular, limiting our viewership, and then limited it further by explicitly pitching it exclusively to a particular audience?' Capital idea. Someone buy this executive more drugs."

Perfection
Plenty of successful show started out as copies of another show.
I was watching this video in the background and thought that Saber's rant about lawnmowers was a clip from the show for a second
Yayy im glad you didn’t say bobs burgers was bad haha, I was scared for a second😂
Hey Saber! There’s this animated movie called Birdboy: The Forgotten Children that I think you might like. It’s right up your alley in terms of dark/adult animation :)
Oh jeez not birdboy
@@NoOne-yp8ot Is it bad? 🤔
@@thema1998 if by bad you mean depressing, then yea
@@thema1998 not AT ALL. Animation is unique and visceral (you'll get what I mean when you see it). The characters are interesting. But the movie is thoroughly depressing.
I'd recommend it if you're into more mature animation.
We should tell steve reviews to watch it. It's perfect for him
I thought she adopted the kids for sympathy. Trying to show she was a good person.
That too wouldve made more sense
Too easy bro, if she did adopt them she'd feel compelled to return them and that would have backlash
Omg evan that makes more since then them being her biological children
the mattress ad at the end was so funny for what 😭😭
Oh my god that's amazing. The "THINK RUDY THINK!" part is hilarious
I hated the "Family Guy" era. Where almost every show was similar or close to it
Family Guy is a terrible influence to the animation industry, for real.
Didn't help that half of them were made by Marfarlane himself. At least when Matt Groening makes a new show he does things to keep it seperate from The Simpsons.
I am the cool kid from Germany making videos for the USA and the rest of the world. I will make your day so don't say nay to me today, dear per
@@DonVigaDeFierro I remember listening to the commentary for the South park episodes where they mock Family Guy as a running gag parellel to the main plot, and Matt & Trey said they got thank you letters from The Simpsons/King of the Hill writers for doing it.
I draw cartoons and consider family guy one of my mild influences. I don't make anything raunchy or edgy. I love its laid-back doesn't take its self to seriously tone and the fast pacing. I might throw in a cutaway gag every now and then.
“why would either of these selfish individuals who are obsessed with themselves have children”
*first time?*
edit: typo also steven9567 could you go back to the 50s pls i beg of you
Saber is a sweet summer child sometimes.
Ha, right? There are so many people out there that have kids just to be fashion accessories.
Yeah literally what i thought. That just happens in real life ALL the time due to society's pressure that you arent a real married couple unless you have kids
apparently Saber isn't too familiar with how couples in real life can rush into having kids.
@@CreeketsCreek thats the point of marriage though
Omg you mentioned The Awesomes. Saberspark, that show is amazing and it reminds me of another show that deserved more seasons, Supermansion.
You made this on my bitheday
Mother up looks like a show that would play on tvs in grand theft auto
It really does
Or on the TV of the Sims 4
Horsin' Around seems to be a lot funnier than this show, i miss the 90s.
Remember that 2007 revival? Didn't work.
That's *too* much, man!
@@chrisbj5251 I thought the 2007 series was funny in a "so terrible it's hilarious" way if you catch my drift.
I don’t really like the guy that plays the Horse. Kind of a bitch
@@matt98785 I heard he allegedly enabled co-star Sarah Lynn's addiction. Pretty scummy guy if you ask me. Netflix was right to scrap plans for the reboot show.

I would love to see you do a video on Tuca and Bertie , especially since it got picked up by Adult Swim ! It's such a great show agh
The first Despicable Me movie is actually a solid movie, aside from the minions existing. You could probably improve Despicable Me by just cutting the less important Minion-heavy scenes.
Honestly not surprised, only "family guy Clone" I like is American dad, because at least the characters have there own personality- and I don't really think of it as a clone anymore tbh (btw for anyone I am calling it a "clone" because saber put it in the video)
Yeah American Dad really is a show on its own. It’s only similarities to Family Guy is a family and the art style.
I actually like American Dad more than Family Guy. It's more consistent to its overall story and feels more relevant to what story it is trying to say "American tropes and events" than Family Guy's randomness.
I prefer American Dad over Family Guy, AD characters are more than just foils for the main characters(in FG case Peter).
That show was good up until they just used Roger for every other character
I like American Dad because it’s turned into a show where literally anything can happen and hardly anyone questions it.
You seem like a very likeable person in your videos and for some reason I feel like you would be really fun to listen to in real life too :)
I just get that vibe.
Keep up the great work as a man in my 20s this is good stuff to watch after work.
Also I’m your Canadian viewer I’m proud you called us Can-Adia. It made me giggle.
You should try watching Duncanville, it's really funny and my family loved it! Also, Bless the Harts! Both are very funny and I would recommend!
Not even Dom Toretto would approve of this family and say family is everything.
Damn, that's the biggest insult you can give anyone
"Ohana means family". - Dom Toretto.
He would be disappointed in anyone criticizing these families
"I love Lucy" was good because Lucy represents the average hard working American with no qualifications trying to make money in a comedic manner by brilliant yet stupid.
Great example. Lucille Ball was brilliant, ahead of her time and a truly sweet heart.
It also worked because it literally broke the mold at the time. Women were portrayed in shows and movies as being beautiful and glamorous and Lucille Ball was willing to get dirty and ugly for the joke while Ricky played the straight man. It was honestly just.. a brilliant combination. And we can't talk enough either about Vivian Vance, who gracefully aided Lucy and acted as her best friend vs her miser husband, Fred Mertz.
Just a fantastic show and it just showed what an amazing talent they all were to make it work especially at the time.
Man, I learn new things everyday in UA-cam.
4:43 "she went to canadia"

You ever get the feeling, when the actors and producers are trying to pitch the shows in magazine interviews, the only time anyone ever reads them is for video obituaries like this one?
Yes
No
What does this mean
Perhaps?
you forgot about the granddaddy animated family sitcom -- the flintstones. flintstones did it.
I was looking to make this comment. Like, Simpsons was specifically mocking the Flintstones and the Jetsons in many respects. Sad that those two classics are often forgotten.
Flinstones did so much they branded vitamins.
I remembered this show in elementary school when I was in a townhouse I loved it lol, good times when it was musically instead of tik tok, and I played stick Page and watched tobuscus and got a phone from a friend that can only look up pictures and take videos of gumball lol
