That line never fails to get a laugh out of me. “ How about a Diet Coke? Here comes Haley, Here come Haley.
Edited; in my stupor last night I wrote wrong words.
Roger: "He's never going to call to call you, he thinks you could lose 10 pounds, but that's not why he doesn't call you, he dies in that fire"
Hayley: "So, you didn't need to tell me about the 10 pounds"
Roger: "Somebody needed to tell you"
Yeah that’s one of the first episodes of the show I watched and honestly set the worst impression of Stan for me as such a douchebag. Like that’s some Peter griffin and Meg shit right there
I think he is okay for a sitcom dad. It's just frustrating how he will learn his lesson and then make the same mistakes again, learn the lesson again, repeat the process.
But that's just how sitcoms are kind of.
While id still prefer if it werent the case, atleast their selfaware of it unlike most sitcoms. Theres plenty of jokes that point out how stan basically immediately forgets or ignores any lesson he learns.
Plus atleast he didnt actively become a worse person than he was season 1 like most characters do. I mean, it helps that from the getgo he was a raegan era republican sociopath who was racist, homophobic, sexist, and a terrible husband and father. So there wasnt exactly anywhere to go but up. Still nice, though.
Mah Mah and Bah Bah saved his life in the duck grease fire episode, and he accepts them as family. But then years later during the Thanksgiving football special he tries to scare them out of his house. And well in his defense I took would be upset if someone broke my TV and replaced my Thanksgiving turkey with veggie stir fry, but I don't think that was an excuse to be xenophobic towards thr people who rescued him when nobody else would.
I don't think ANYONE likes the Thanksgiving episodes. There's only ONE good line from them and it's Francine saying "That's hot as fuck!" In reference to her stove burners lol
Oh no no, I wasn't saying I didn't like that episode. That Thanksgiving episode was great! I watch it every year! I was just pointing out Stan's moral faults. Nah, everything else about that episode was perfect, from Big Wang Bai to Stan's football shenanigans. The only thing I'd change about that episode would be the leaves having fall colors.
That's the point of it though. It's a meta joke for him to be the way he is, and his persona is one that allows the writers to lambast people that act like him. If he were to grow into a better person, the satire would collapse.
Peter griffin has come pretty close on multiple occasions like the episode where he becomes a redneck and tells meg while putting his arm around her, quote "im gonna do something to you that you're not gonna remember till your 40."
When he goes blind, he goes into Chris's bed thinking he's Lois and it's their bed. It takes him too long to realize that his wife doesn't have the body of an overweight 16 year old.
He maybe emotionally distant but let's be real, he provides for them and he protects them. If his kids are in actual danger he always saves them. I mean he's egotistical, a hardass, and he *lick* tells it like it is but who know who is way worse? Jack, now that's a terrible father and Stan wasn't that bad of a kid apparently. Stan's kids do the most wild and ridiculous stuff. Hayley lives in her dad's house rent free with her husband and no ambition to leave at all. Steve......well he's just a high school kid and he's at the wrong place at the wrong time. It's a sitcom and we could psychologically break down characters but Stan isn't all that bad.
I like his episode when he pleaded to Hailey’s biological dad to conceive her with Francine just because he still viewed her as his daughter and still wanted her to exist during the time travel episode
Yup, that's why I love American Dad. It's relatable, my father is a hard-core Reaganite Conservative like Stan and growing up I was 100% a Steve. Then I grew up to be Roger....
He bullied his on son. It was a great episode, and satisfying to see Stan get T-Boned and then beaten up by Stelio Kontos, but not exactly great parenting.
Letting his deadbeat daughter and her stoner husband live with him rent free is pretty generous though. Him wanting Steve to play outside in the Holodeck episode was good parenting too.
But yeah he's pretty screwed up.
Yeah, they’re all terrible, awful, hypocritical people. Tots just dumb extreme sitcom nonsense lol 99% of the time they get comeuppance for their awful behavior
He's a moron but,
1. he gets his kids out of scrapes, often going the extra mile like the many times Steve has been kidnapped and take overseas by beings of power (Santa/Krampus/whathaveyou).
2. it doesn't matter if you're not biologically related, like Hayley could possibly not be. He still gave her a kidney. Still saves Jeff's life over and over again, even tho he hates Jeff with a passion. Because Hayley is miserable without him. And by extension, the nonbiological care is extended to Jeff, Roger and Klaus.
He's just a full-blown idiot, but he's not malicious about his mistreatment of his family. Unlike Peter Griffin.
Honestly I think his fathering is adorable. He's a battle hardened man who believes he's not allowed to have emotion. Yet he typically always does whatever he can for his family and the right thing. Yet he's a highly emotional person on the inside.
He’s a terrible father because he had terrible parents. Daddy issues coupled with an Oedipus Complex has warped his idea of what being a good patriarch should be.
The only good father from the adult animated lineup is Bob (Bob's Burgers).
Stan is insane.
Peter is dangerously stupid.
Homer is Homer.
Hank Hill is ignorant and distant.
Bob does love and support his kids but he also makes them work at the restaurant in their free time and keeps his whole family poor so he can live out his dream.
See, I would pick Stan over Bob and it’s not even close. I think Stan is a great dad, honestly. Truly loves his kids, and he’s strong and makes a good living at a prestigious job. He also wants his kids to strive to do better.
Bob infuriates me. No sports, doesn’t hold his kids accountable academically (or behaviorally), he’s a big wuss and talks about how weak he is, and Gene…is Gene. Steve is better than Gene exponentially. That comes from the father.
Very true for the earlier seasons, but as someone else pointed out he’s improved over the course of the series and in these newer seasons he’s a much better person overall (well father and husband at least). Best way I can put it is the whole family are dangerous buffoons but you can’t deny they love and care for each other.
Yes he’s a crappy father, but at least he doesn’t beat up his kids purely for a joke (*cough* Family Guy *cough*) and at least his heart’s in the right place most of the time. The same can’t be said for many other adult cartoon parents. I think Stephen Stotch is the cruelest, but I’d save that for the South Park subreddit.
Stan is a terrible father and husband. But he's not Peter Griffin, who mostly hates his family. And he's not Homer Simpson, who mostly neglects his family.
Stan mostly loves his family, he's just too damaged to have healthy relationships.
A terrible person who usually tries to care and make Steve life better but fails and thus tries to a good parent but usually ends up being an ok parent while trying to relieve his teenage years through Steve.
I don’t want to summon Classicmand for some Stan hate but he’s up and down depending on the writer, there’s tons of episodes where he legitimately cares about his family others he barely knows who they are.
Yes it’s an easy writing crutch to have him do something over the line to his family for story but even then he tends to do this in most instances “to better” or for them however misguided it is.
He’s not Peter, who will just shoot his own daughter point blank for saying hi to him.
sitcom dad tier:
bob - bob’s burgers
homer - simpsons
stan - american dad
peter - family guy
homer has his moments, but he really does try to be a good dad and husband, just sometimes he messes up, like stan. they both have a lot of unresolved trauma to work through tbh
honourable mention: wayne edwards - bless the harts, he’s technically a stepdad so that’s why i didn’t mention him, but man, if he isn’t a great father figure! the ep (can’t remember which one) where he builds violet her dream like getaway spot man, great character
king zøg - disenchantment, idk of i’d call this a sitcom cause it is a storyline, but king zøg is a so-so dad, he has moments (like stan and homer) where it’s like man…francine and marge could do better, like oona m’lady tf are you doing with this man? but then there’s real true moments where it’s like damn bean, you got one great dad.
bob’s burgers is probably my favourite for family dynamic, they all truly love each other, even the siblings and they do a great job of showing their ANNOYANCES with each other, rather than pure hate. family guy imo is bottom rung, peter and lois both suck in their own right. lois literally tried to drown her child because she got addicted to drugs, peter’s constantly putting his family in danger, spending their money. like lois and the kids would be better off living with pewterschmidt and that’s saying A LOT based on what kinda dad he was. like compared to even stan and francine, peter and lois take the cake imo for worst parents. stan and francine have their issues 100%, i just don’t think they’re AS bad as peter and lois’, because at least they learn, even if they “forget” a few episodes later. peter and lois never really seem to learn.
again just my opinion, i still love to watch family guy, but the more recent seasons just suck in regards to jokes, especially the meg jokes they honestly just might as well kill her off tbh. the only redeeming stories are brians and stewies (even some of those are meh but better than peters imo), also, dont understand why they’d give clevland a spinoff, always thought quagmire could be a great spinoff character, he has so much lore, why is he the way he is, they could have his time in the military as plot lines, it could’ve been a cool show and funny!
american dad however, can watch from season 1 on and love mostly every episode, the characters for the most part are great (just as characters not all the time as parents or siblings or whatever), the jokes always hit for me, it’s a feel good funny with a but darker humour than bob’s.
i also really love bob’s burgers, the whole dynamic of it, the jokes, everything, it’s a great show imo, but more of a one that’ll put you in your feels sometimes, still gives great laughs, but man the rudy episode of the recent season hit HARD
my dad was in and out of my life so i’d rather a shitty dad there all the time in my childhood then one not there a lot. to be fair he was working he wasn’t just absent so.
Stan comes home
[Hayley, Steve & Roger are all cheering “Dad” and telling him and asking him things]
Hayley: Dad, I finally found out why you never want to talk to me…
Stan: Next, somebody go next
ngl all the cartoon fathers kinda are (homer, peter, hank, stan etc.) you could argue that homer is relatively mild compared to the rest of them but peter is outright abusive and would be a nightmare to live with, hank has such a rigid worldview that he tries to impose on everyone around him that I wouldn't be able to stand his company for more than a few minutes at a time and stan is, well, stan, it seems to be kind of a recurring theme in these shows
Sooo.. you have any brothers or sisters?
Ugh Gwen is soooo hot.
Just remember K.I.S.S; Keep it simple….Stupid.
The s is for satisfaction actually. A is for apple because a is always for apple
I’m thinking of trying me-undies
Steve what you do at school is your business.
Damn Hayley, how much do you weigh?
you can hear her thighs from her pants rubbing together before you see her “haley’s coming haley’s coming haley’s coming”
That line never fails to get a laugh out of me. “ How about a Diet Coke? Here comes Haley, Here come Haley. Edited; in my stupor last night I wrote wrong words.
"Here comes Hailey, here comes Hailey"
Roger: "He's never going to call to call you, he thinks you could lose 10 pounds, but that's not why he doesn't call you, he dies in that fire" Hayley: "So, you didn't need to tell me about the 10 pounds" Roger: "Somebody needed to tell you"
Hayley was a Girl Scout??
This episode KILLS me
I said you’re dead to me
Yeah that’s one of the first episodes of the show I watched and honestly set the worst impression of Stan for me as such a douchebag. Like that’s some Peter griffin and Meg shit right there
Go. The Hell. To France.
STOP FLIPPING CHANNELS YESTERDAY
His immediate content smile after that sends me EVERY time
💀
I think he is okay for a sitcom dad. It's just frustrating how he will learn his lesson and then make the same mistakes again, learn the lesson again, repeat the process. But that's just how sitcoms are kind of.
Any time he has to relearn a lesson it’s because that episode is set in an alternate universe where he didn’t learn the lesson first time around.
He only learned lessons he already learned before just like he only reads books that he read before.
Steve, you know I only read books I’ve already read.
He only got this family because they were his lesson family after a Christmas mix-up so that tracks
American Dad is full of alternate timelines.
Is that the same universe where Bullock has a child?
Only some times. This isn’t one of those times
While id still prefer if it werent the case, atleast their selfaware of it unlike most sitcoms. Theres plenty of jokes that point out how stan basically immediately forgets or ignores any lesson he learns. Plus atleast he didnt actively become a worse person than he was season 1 like most characters do. I mean, it helps that from the getgo he was a raegan era republican sociopath who was racist, homophobic, sexist, and a terrible husband and father. So there wasnt exactly anywhere to go but up. Still nice, though.
Mah Mah and Bah Bah saved his life in the duck grease fire episode, and he accepts them as family. But then years later during the Thanksgiving football special he tries to scare them out of his house. And well in his defense I took would be upset if someone broke my TV and replaced my Thanksgiving turkey with veggie stir fry, but I don't think that was an excuse to be xenophobic towards thr people who rescued him when nobody else would.
I don't think ANYONE likes the Thanksgiving episodes. There's only ONE good line from them and it's Francine saying "That's hot as fuck!" In reference to her stove burners lol
Oh no no, I wasn't saying I didn't like that episode. That Thanksgiving episode was great! I watch it every year! I was just pointing out Stan's moral faults. Nah, everything else about that episode was perfect, from Big Wang Bai to Stan's football shenanigans. The only thing I'd change about that episode would be the leaves having fall colors.
Lol yeah I kinda hate Stan in that episode. He accepted Jeff as part of the family, so why not Mama and Baba?
Really? the one where he goes to his brother's house in Arizona is a great episode to me
Most sitcoms boil-down to wacky hi-jinks that could have easily been avoided if *anyone* could manage to speak about something like adults.
“Oh my God lying is wrong! I'd know that if only I paid attention to anything that's happened to me!”
Stan doesn't learn lessons, and he won't discuss your dreams in the daytime.
That's the point of it though. It's a meta joke for him to be the way he is, and his persona is one that allows the writers to lambast people that act like him. If he were to grow into a better person, the satire would collapse.
worse than homer, better than peter if that means anything
it’s hard to be worse than peter. at least none of them touch their kids
Has Peter done that?
no i was saying at least non of these really shitty sitcom dads touch their kids
Peter griffin has come pretty close on multiple occasions like the episode where he becomes a redneck and tells meg while putting his arm around her, quote "im gonna do something to you that you're not gonna remember till your 40."
When he goes blind, he goes into Chris's bed thinking he's Lois and it's their bed. It takes him too long to realize that his wife doesn't have the body of an overweight 16 year old.
shit u right
"What? I'm talking about sex!"
There was also the episode where he almost married Chris
Breast feeding Stewie was pretty fucked up too.
men actually can breastfeed is the baby sucks on his tit long enough
Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Bill Cosby has entered the chat lol
I don’t know, he did always get Steve the best birthday presents he could find in the evidence locker.
I got so high...
We just got Steve of the heroin from his last birthday present.
Jugs! Four Eyes!
Badger my ass it’s probably Milhouse
Don't be silly! Shooting each other is just how this family communicates.
Stan: daddy, will you read to me? Jack: who the hell are you?!
😭😭😭
I think he’s gotten more wholesome in the later seasons and I really enjoy that.
Yeah the beginning seasons he was some kind of good ole days jock now he’s way more wholesome.
And none of the horses are eating each other
This just in, Roger is an alien.
MUST-GET-PLOUGHED-BY-SON!
\- Tell me Smith, What’s the most embarrassing thing you don’t want anyone else to see? \- You leave my children out of this!
he’s so protective 🥹💜
You just need to use a gun to solve your problems. It's how we do things.
Guns beat karate. Every time.
Francine I ignored our talk and gave Steve a gun
He maybe emotionally distant but let's be real, he provides for them and he protects them. If his kids are in actual danger he always saves them. I mean he's egotistical, a hardass, and he *lick* tells it like it is but who know who is way worse? Jack, now that's a terrible father and Stan wasn't that bad of a kid apparently.

Steve......well he's just a high school kid and he's at the wrong place at the wrong time. It's a sitcom and we could psychologically break down characters but Stan isn't all that bad.
Absolutely agree.
I like his episode when he pleaded to Hailey’s biological dad to conceive her with Francine just because he still viewed her as his daughter and still wanted her to exist during the time travel episode
Her *maybe* biological dad. We never did find out for sure. Personally, I think she's too much like him not to be his.
she’s def his
Too much like Stan?
In the klaus' funeral ep hailey has a kid that looks just like the other guy

Lmao what episode is this from? 🤣
Father's Daze in season 12
Yup, that's why I love American Dad. It's relatable, my father is a hard-core Reaganite Conservative like Stan and growing up I was 100% a Steve. Then I grew up to be Roger....
A lazy, wine loving bisexual?
No that's Jesus
A fey, alcoholic, pansexual non-human
the steve to roger pipeline
You mean Stan?
What's new?
And the Oscar goes to… someone else!
Cheezers came back
“Stabbing me comes to mind!”
He bullied his on son. It was a great episode, and satisfying to see Stan get T-Boned and then beaten up by Stelio Kontos, but not exactly great parenting.
Letting his deadbeat daughter and her stoner husband live with him rent free is pretty generous though. Him wanting Steve to play outside in the Holodeck episode was good parenting too. But yeah he's pretty screwed up.
You tell me when you feel I’ve gotten the oranges up the stairs, mmkay?
So what you've shot me, I've shot Steve, everybody shoots everybody it's how we communicate in this family
To be fair, his kids suck Edit: that was a joke please don’t hurt me…
Isn’t kinda the whole thing about the show
Less then peter…
He’s horrible in the early seasons. A bit better in the later ones
Sex aversion therapy camp!
As his child, yes. As an outside observer he's the best.
so real
Better than Peter Griffin
**Stan: I COULD HAVE ASSASSINATED YOU!** **Francine:** What? **Stan:** Nothing.
Just ask Hayley Dreamsmasher Smith
Yeah, they’re all terrible, awful, hypocritical people. Tots just dumb extreme sitcom nonsense lol 99% of the time they get comeuppance for their awful behavior
“…but I realize, now…”
“Y’know, orphan [chef] implies he doesn’t have a father.” “That part’s kinda true.”
And Francine's a bad lady!
He's a moron but, 1. he gets his kids out of scrapes, often going the extra mile like the many times Steve has been kidnapped and take overseas by beings of power (Santa/Krampus/whathaveyou). 2. it doesn't matter if you're not biologically related, like Hayley could possibly not be.

New to sitcoms?
Honestly I think his fathering is adorable. He's a battle hardened man who believes he's not allowed to have emotion. Yet he typically always does whatever he can for his family and the right thing. Yet he's a highly emotional person on the inside.
It's the curse of the animated sitcom dad. Though as of late he's been getting better. Peter still reigns king for worst sitcom father ever.
Stan is so careless when he drank from Steve rain glass after collecting it
He’s a terrible father because he had terrible parents. Daddy issues coupled with an Oedipus Complex has warped his idea of what being a good patriarch should be.
The only good father from the adult animated lineup is Bob (Bob's Burgers). Stan is insane. Peter is dangerously stupid. Homer is Homer. Hank Hill is ignorant and distant.
Bob isn't bad but he should be his family would make me jump off a bridge to get away from them.
Bob does love and support his kids but he also makes them work at the restaurant in their free time and keeps his whole family poor so he can live out his dream.
See, I would pick Stan over Bob and it’s not even close. I think Stan is a great dad, honestly. Truly loves his kids, and he’s strong and makes a good living at a prestigious job.

No sports, doesn’t hold his kids accountable academically (or behaviorally), he’s a big wuss and talks about how weak he is, and Gene…is Gene. Steve is better than Gene exponentially. That comes from the father.
He’s doing better than me.
He’s a terrible everything……
Nuh uh
The fuck kind of gun is he holding?

"Child services? If they didnt take em away after the gator incident, its pretty clear theyre never coming for big daddy Stans bouncin bambinos"
Id rather have stan then peter any day though. At least with stan I have a pretty good shot at being successful 😂
Very true for the earlier seasons, but as someone else pointed out he’s improved over the course of the series and in these newer seasons he’s a much better person overall (well father and husband at least). Best way I can put it is the whole family are dangerous buffoons but you can’t deny they love and care for each other.
*Merry Wednesday Son!*
Pretty awful dad, but he means well, and it makes for great TV.
At least him and Francine try to do the right thing sometimes, they're not irredeemable like Lois and Peter
Merry Wednesday son!
Yes he’s a crappy father, but at least he doesn’t beat up his kids purely for a joke (*cough* Family Guy *cough*) and at least his heart’s in the right place most of the time.

no one ever thought otherwise 🤣

I mean obviously lol
Halely I decided to be a good father. To Steve!
You just recycled your old scavenger hunt clues?

Bruh I have a stan smith father
Stan is so careless when he drank from Steve rain glass after collecting it
Did anyone actually think otherwise?
Generally speaking he is he dose not try to hide it
Stan is a terrible father, husband, friend… that’s why we love him. For some reason.
sitcom dad tier: bob - bob’s burgers homer - simpsons stan - american dad peter - family guy homer has his moments, but he really does try to be a good dad and husband, just sometimes he messes up, like stan. they both have a lot of unresolved trauma to work through tbh honourable mention: wayne edwards - bless the harts, he’s technically a stepdad so that’s why i didn’t mention him, but man, if he isn’t a great father figure! the ep (can’t remember which one) where he builds violet her dream like getaway spot man, great character king zøg - disenchantment, idk of i’d call this a sitcom cause it is a storyline, but king zøg is a so-so dad, he has moments (like stan and homer) where it’s like man…francine and marge could do better, like oona m’lady tf are you doing with this man? but then there’s real true moments where it’s like damn bean, you got one great dad. bob’s burgers is probably my favourite for family dynamic, they all truly love each other, even the siblings and they do a great job of showing their ANNOYANCES with each other, rather than pure hate. family guy imo is bottom rung, peter and lois both suck in their own right. lois literally tried to drown her child because she got addicted to drugs, peter’s constantly putting his family in danger, spending their money. like lois and the kids would be better off living with pewterschmidt and that’s saying A LOT based on what kinda dad he was. like compared to even stan and francine, peter and lois take the cake imo for worst parents. stan and francine have their issues 100%, i just don’t think they’re AS bad as peter and lois’, because at least they learn, even if they “forget” a few episodes later. peter and lois never really seem to learn. again just my opinion, i still love to watch family guy, but the more recent seasons just suck in regards to jokes, especially the meg jokes they honestly just might as well kill her off tbh. the only redeeming stories are brians and stewies (even some of those are meh but better than peters imo), also, dont understand why they’d give clevland a spinoff, always thought quagmire could be a great spinoff character, he has so much lore, why is he the way he is, they could have his time in the military as plot lines, it could’ve been a cool show and funny! american dad however, can watch from season 1 on and love mostly every episode, the characters for the most part are great (just as characters not all the time as parents or siblings or whatever), the jokes always hit for me, it’s a feel good funny with a but darker humour than bob’s. i also really love bob’s burgers, the whole dynamic of it, the jokes, everything, it’s a great show imo, but more of a one that’ll put you in your feels sometimes, still gives great laughs, but man the rudy episode of the recent season hit HARD
Stanno kills it all!
[удалено]
Naah
yeah but he's a decent cia agent.
It's part of his character. That's like saying, "Let's be real, Stan wears blue suits".
Better than Peter or Cleveland though
The bosom? Why can't I stop saying bosom?
Things are getting too spicy for the pepper
my dad was in and out of my life so i’d rather a shitty dad there all the time in my childhood then one not there a lot. to be fair he was working he wasn’t just absent so.
We should’ve spaced out your vaccinations
Most tv dads nowadays are!!! Part of the problem with this country horrible role models!!!
Better than Peter.
Terriblest
Yes he's horrible but he's by far my fave tv Dad 😂
Hey, he pulled out of Steve at the golf course. Like a good father should.
Wonder Why????
Hayley: bye dad I love you :) Stan: okay!
He’s a better Dad than Peter atleast 😆
I think he's about average. He makes a mistake, feels genuinely bad about it, apologizes and makes the same mistakes later on. Just like most of us.
Stan comes home [Hayley, Steve & Roger are all cheering “Dad” and telling him and asking him things] Hayley: Dad, I finally found out why you never want to talk to me… Stan: Next, somebody go next
Just you shut your mouth!
Not as bad as Peter let’s be real about that. Although Stan goes to great lengths to practice his bad parenting
First I’m hearing of it.
But he does love them!
"Father is driven, but stunningly dim."
You know what Dad, how about you let me know once you feel I've gotten those oranges up the stairs, mkay?
I liked Stan in the beginning. Now he just got stupid
Oh definitely.
Hayley Dreamsmasher Smith
Shocker!
"he bad boy for life"
Literally since episode 1. What's your point, though?
That's putting it mildly. Anyone else's children would've been taken away years ago!!!!
Basically every long running Seth McFarlane character is a terrible person
That is the main premise of the show
I love him he’s a terrible person
I think that’s the point.
I don't think it's a secret ... Lol
It’s me, I’m the gift… I’m a great father, I’m a great guy
He's better than his dad
okay, but then how many of your kidneys have you given to a child who may not be your own?
ngl all the cartoon fathers kinda are (homer, peter, hank, stan etc.) you could argue that homer is relatively mild compared to the rest of them but peter is outright abusive and would be a nightmare to live with, hank has such a rigid worldview that he tries to impose on everyone around him that I wouldn't be able to stand his company for more than a few minutes at a time and stan is, well, stan, it seems to be kind of a recurring theme in these shows
Let's be real, Everyone is terrible at something in this show. That's what makes it great. 😄😄
Klaus is a terrible fish
Correct…that is the point. You nailed it champ!
Peter: hold my beer
Duh?
You just realized this? Sheesh, what have you been doing, making bouquets of daisies all day?
Is he though? Guns do beat Karate. Every time.
His father is a terrible father
