Recap / American Dad S 8 E 6 The Scarlett Getter

Go To

Stan runs into an old crush from the CIA, and when his feelings resurface, Francine becomes jealous. Meanwhile, Steve accidentally wears Hayley's panties to school, only to find that they are incredibly lucky.


Tropes:

  • Big Damn Heroes: Francine shoots Scarlett in the chest as soon as she enters the cabin.
    Stan: Lady, my wife blows you away!
    (Cue Scarlett getting blown across the room)
    Francine: (armed with a smoking shotgun) Damn right I do.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Roger asks if Stan is challenging him to make a joke about the space shuttle Challenger, before saying he won't because it's too sad.
  • Good Luck Charm: Hayley's panties, to Steve, make the wearer lucky.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Hayley tells Steve that her panties weren't lucky, but it was the confidence they gave him that made him feel lucky. And right after telling him this, she barges into Snot's bathroom to get them back because her luck had been terrible since she lost them.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Hayley beats the ever-living... well, snot out of Snot for having her panties.
    Hayley: I... have had... the WORST luck since I lost those panties! Give 'em back, you son of a bitch!
  • Kill It with Fire: Mortally wounded, Scarlett rolls into a fire, and turns to ash instantly. Stan lampshades it.
    Stan: Wow, she was... really dry.
  • Stalker Shrine: Snot keeps the panties in a frame over his bathtub.
  • Worth It: Even after being beaten to a pulp by the girl he's been creeping on, Snot considers it a net-win for himself and a sign that the panties are the luckiest pair in the world.
