Top 10 Reasons Why American Dad Is Better Than Family Guy

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 The characters are way better in American Dad

The characters in American Dad are more likeable and easier to root for (except for Stan, but only sometimes like in American Fung), whereas in Family Guy almost everyone are horrible people

2 No gag flashbacks

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

They are funny though, like when...flashback

A lot of them go on for too long.

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

American Dad doesn't rely on this crap.

3 Chris is annoying while Steve is actually funny
4 Singing in Family Guy goes on for too long
5 Roger Smith

Roger is the best thing about American Dad!

I like Brian, but Roger is better.

He's hilarious

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

She's a hot nerd

7 The stories are more detailed
8 American Dad has an alien and a talking fish. Family guy has a talking baby and dog, not so cool
9 American Dad actually lets other characters have a main story in an episode

Lois meg and chris never get zany screen time anyre

10 Not quite as offensive

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

The Contenders
11 American Dad has a gay couple
12 The Family

American Dad's family is 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 Douchebags, 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 Francine is a better less annoying wife and character than Lois

Francine is awesome.

She also hotter

16 Seth MacFarlane doesn't force his liberal agenda in American Dad nearly as much as Family Guy

The episode with president garfield had stan say he was a trump supporter. I used to like stan

Rightwing - bandwagon Leftwing - everyone hates us.

17 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.

18 Klaus is not unlikable like Brian

Klaus is way more nicer than Brian!

19 The Whole American Dad Family Is Attractive

That is true. I never find Lois attractive and Peter is the one who is fat and ugly. ugly retard!

20 Less reliant on cutaways
21 American Dad is not as mean spirited as Family Guy
22 Stan doesn't abuse his daughter unlike Peter
23 It is still funny
24 Family Guy made fun of black people

Family Guy is still hilarious, but then again, it's racist.

I only heard whites complain

25 American Dad doesn't rely on shock humor

It does, just not as much.
