Recap / American Dad S 10 E 13 I Aint No Holodeck Boy

Go To

Stan tries to get Steve and his friends to play outside by locking them in the CIA's holodeck.


Tropes:

  • Celebrity Paradox: Played for Laughs. After Bullock explains how the CIA hologram room works, Dick likens it to the holodeck from Star Trek. Bullock, who is of course voiced by Patrick Stewart, doesn't get the reference and says "Some of us spent the late-80s and early-90s getting laid."
  • Girly Run: Stan flails his hands rather hilariously as he's being chased by the zombie.
  • Rhetorical Question Blunder: After the CIA tea room suddenly turns into a yacht and then an active volcano, Jackson asks what the hell was in the tea they were drinking. Bullock replies that it had a very light opiate.
  • Situational Sexuality: Bullock shows some memories from his all-male boarding school in which he "learned to enjoy playing inside."
  • Slipping a Mickey: In order to get Steve and his friends in the holodeck, Stan serves them hamburgers laced with knockout pills.
  • Zombie Gait: The simulated giant zombie ends up getting more confident and instead of doing the stereotypical zombie walk, he starts skipping.
