Top 10 Reasons Why American Dad Is Better Than Family Guy

xResidentEvilFan17x Seth McFarlane created both shows, yes Family Guy came first but it's actually American Dad that is better. It seems that more work is put into it. Here are the reasons why it's better.

The Top Ten

1 No gag flashbacks

A lot of them go on for too long.

They are funny though, like when...flashback - YOSHIA2121

As I'm from Ireland several jokes or gags are unknown in Europe like ones from less popular T.V. shows or minor celebrities references also Kool Aid was unavailable until recently

The cutaway gags were fine for the first three seasons, they aren't funny anymore.

American Dad doesn't rely on this crap.

2 The characters are way better in American Dad

What about peter - YOSHIA2121

3 Chris is annoying while Steve is actually funny

true - YOSHIA2121

4 Singing in Family Guy goes on for too long

Same with american dad - YOSHIA2121

5 Roger Smith

I like Brian, but Roger is better.

Roger is the best thing about American Dad!

He's hilarious - YOSHIA2121

WHEN ELSE IS AN ALIEN IN A FAMILY

6 Hayley doesn't have to get beat up to be funny

She's a hot nerd - YOSHIA2121

7 American Dad has an alien and a talking fish. Family guy has a talking baby and dog, not so cool

I actually like Brian and stewie more than roger. And I don't like clause.

This list would have been better without this item. - kcianciulli

8 American Dad actually lets other characters have a main story in an episode
9 The stories are more detailed
10 American Dad has a gay couple

So does Family Guy

The Contenders

11 Not quite as offensive

As much as I love Family Guy, sometimes it goes too far.

12 The Family

American dad's family are Amazing! They do things together, They are smart, they do funny humors that does not include fart, butt, or gay jokes, and they settle things, and they are not mean to each other. But in Family guy, They are Douchbags, retards, idiots, and are the opposite of what I said about American dad. And I don't understand how Family guy is more popular than American dad. I like Roger Smith! He is much more funny than Brian Griffin! So you Family guy fans and I love you American dad fans! And remember to salute America in the American way!

13 Straightforward stories
14 Plot development
15 Seth MacFarlane doesn't force his liberal agenda in American Dad nearly as much as Family Guy

I'd argue that American Dad is more conservative where as Family Guy is liberal. - SomePersonYouHate

Rightwing - bandwagon Leftwing - everyone hates us.

Not true

16 Stan and Francine have a better relationship than Peter and Lois

This one true Peter some act act like a JackAss while Lois act like a Hoe.

17 Francine is a better less annoying wife and character than Lois

She also hotter

Francine is awesome.

18 Less reliant on cutaways
19 American Dad doesn't rely on shock humor

It does, just not as much.

20 American Dad played Change by the Deftones
21 American Dad is not as mean spirited as Family Guy
22 American Dad has more intelligent humor
23 Klaus is not unlikable like Brian
24 None of the creatures have been killed off and a new one came in for a couple of episodes.
