Recap / American Dad S 1 E 5 Roger Codger

Go To

After Roger ruins a dinner party Stan hosted for his boss Bullock, Stan yells at Roger to the point of killing him. But when Stan disposes of the body, Roger wakes up from a coma and tries to come back home.

Episode Tropes:

  • Broken Pedestal: After some unhelpful advice from Father Donovan, Francine loses her faith in Christianity and give a brutal harsh lesson to her Christian group about what really happens when people die. Keep in mind, this group full of children.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Hayley is not the religious type, but she was appalled when Francine gives her Christian group a harsh reality of what death really means.
  • Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: After Stan yells at Roger, the latter collapses and believed to be dead. But right after Stan disposes of the body, Roger wakes up as he apparently went into a coma during that incident.
  • The Reveal: While it was hinted at during the pilot, we get to see how Stan meets Roger in a flashback, and the incident that caused Roger to save him at Area 51.
  • You're Not My Father: After Steve finds out how cold Stan is regarding Roger's "death", he yells out, "I have no father!" before running out.
