Top 10 Best American Dad! Characters

Get ready, American Dad! die-hards. It's time to decide who gets the crown (or maybe the alien wig) as the ultimate fan favorite. We're talking about the characters who keep you laughing until your sides hurt, the ones who manage to be completely lovable and strangely despicable at the same time.

From Stan's over-the-top patriotism to Roger's ridiculous alter egos, from Steve's awkward charm to Hayley's rebellious energy, American Dad! has a wild cast of personalities that have made their way into our hearts. But where do they rank in terms of funniest, weirdest, and overall best?

The Top Ten
  1. Francine Smith

    Francine Lee Smith is a fictional character on the animated series American Dad!. She is the wife of Stan Smith and the mother of Hayley and Steve. Francine is known for her eccentric personality and complex backstory, which often includes humorous references to her wild past.

    Finally, out of The Simpsons and Family Guy, somebody who does not look hideous like Marge. Marge looks like a pile of garbage.

    Francine is hilarious. Her blonde moments make for some of the best jokes in the series.

    She is the hottest cartoon character ever, and she is hilarious.

  2. Roger

    Roger for the win. That Jeanie impersonation when he was a wedding planner took the cake for me. "Don't go into shock, today's not about you." I laugh my ass off every time I watch that episode.

    I would totally date him, never turn him in, and let him live in my attic. He needs to give me one of his many phone numbers, and we need to go out as many different personas!

    I love how he has no control over the characters he portrays. I also love how he can do whatever he wants in one character and not get punished the second he switches people.

  3. Stan Smith

    Stanford Leonard "Stan" Smith is the main protagonist of the adult animated sitcom American Dad!. He is voiced by the series co-creator and executive producer, Seth MacFarlane.

    Stan is known for his extreme Republican viewpoints, which often result in erratic and over-the-top behavior. He works... read more

    I love Stan because he just has no filter and just says things. When he's in trouble, he always manages to get out okay. If he's not okay, he doesn't care - he's Stan!

    Not a lot of characters to choose from, but no one beats Stan. "There's something you should know about me by now, Roger. I don't learn lessons."

    At least Stan is smarter than Peter, Homer, Randy Marsh, and Timmy Turner's dad.

  4. Steve Smith

    Anita "Steve" Smith is a fictional character in the animated television series American Dad!, voiced by Scott Grimes. Steve is the nerdy and awkward teenage son in the Smith family and often gets involved in misadventures with his alien friend Roger. He is characterized by his high-pitched voice, romantic... read more

    I love his singing voice because it reminds me of Michael Jackson.

    He has to be the most unstable, yet relatable person on the show.

    As good as Roger, if not better! LGBSteve and 1600 Candles are the best episodes he has been in.

  5. Klaus Heissler

    Klaus Heissler is a fictional character from the animated television series American Dad!. He is a goldfish with the brain of an East German Olympic skier, the result of a CIA experiment. Klaus is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker and is known for his sarcastic and eccentric personality.

    I hate that he has turned into fish Meg in recent seasons. Klaus is an awesome character!

    Klaus is very weird, hilarious, smart, and AWESOME all at the same time!

    Ax, get out of here before you crap your pants!

  6. Hayley Smith-Fischer

    Hayley Dreamsmasher Smith is a character from the animated television series American Dad!. She is the daughter of Stan and Francine Smith and is portrayed as a liberal college student with strong opinions. Hayley is often involved in storylines that contrast with her conservative father.

    The voice of reason. I think any show (even one as off-the-wall as American Dad) needs a voice of reason.

    Much more likable than Brian Griffin, in all honesty.

    The Smith family would fall apart without Hayley.

  7. Jeff Fischer

    He is my favorite. He is funny and stupid, which makes him even funnier. Y'all shouldn't hate on him.

    I like Jeff because I don't see anything wrong with him.

    I don't know why he's hated. Stan should be hated. Jeff is actually likable.

  8. Avery Bullock

  9. Principal Lewis

    We have The Cleveland Show but not a Principal Lewis Show? Damn.

    Bullock and Principal Lewis are the best by a mile.

    His eyes are red from smoking weed!

  10. Stelio Kontos

    Stelio is so funny. I also love his theme song.

    He has his own theme song, which is always playing as he mercilessly beats people up.

  11. The Newcomers
  12. ?

    Detective Turlington

    His unique style and speech make him the best detective on TV!

  13. ?

    Mertz

    Why is he below Vince Chung? I'm glad he replaced him. He's actually funny.

  14. The Contenders
  15. Snot Lonstein

    Snot and Steve's friendship is very beautiful.

    Snot is my favorite character on the show.

    Snot is a very good friend to Steve.

  16. Barry Robinson

  17. Toshi Yoshida

  18. Reginald Koala

    I miss that koala. I wish I could see more of him in more episodes.

  19. Akiko Yoshida

  20. Jack Smith

  21. Santa Claus

  22. Buckle

  23. Greg Corbin

  24. Terry Bates

    I love him. I wish he didn't have to leave the show.

    Terry should appear in more episodes!

  25. Bad Larry

  26. Father Donovan

  27. Rogu

  28. Dick Reynolds

  29. Mama Ling
