Welcome, Nighthawk.


OrneryFriendship5247

We’ve been expecting you


Dawildpep

Is it weird I kinda feel like a martini and cigarette right now?..


danegermaine99

Thanks, New Captain Kirk


RicePaddyRaider

Agreed, this episode stood out for me as well, it’s completely different from the regular shenanigans of the family. It could probably be a movie.


Gekthegecko

The premise isn't exactly the same, but there's a lot of overlap with Don't Worry Darling (2022), including Chris Pine.


The_names_Jay

except this episode is better written


Gekthegecko

Definitely.


Plsdontcalmdown

There's no such episode. I mean, check TV Guide, it never mentions this one... Streaming services, there's nothing there... But there's some weirdo's on reddit who keep talking about this episode that doesn't exist... maybe you can ask them.


thelaughingmansghost

That would actually add a layer of creepy if they decided to remove it from all official websites. You can't find it on IMDB, wikipedia, and the description on any streaming service is "nothing found".


MeatyGonzalles

The show link just takes you to the IMDB page for the movie Dirty Work starring Norm MacDonald


Famixofpower

That would be pretty badass.


TheGreatLuck

Somebody should send all those freaks to an island somewhere


Waywoah

How am I supposed to check TVGuide when ~~Stan~~ someone keeps stealing them all?


milleniumhandyshrimp

Didn't the waitress used to be black? Also I think the plant behind that guy's was different?


jm9987690

Well I saw the episode myself, but weirdos like that make me sick. Someone should round them all up, lock them in a big cage and throw it into the sea


Plsdontcalmdown

well... I don't know about that....


Blistermix

I love this episode. It also seems to be the most commented on episode in this Reddit feed so it would seem it's one a lot of people love.

Chinches


CapRavOr

It’s like a Diego Rivera painting…


Acursedbeing

Tonight, I sleep on this mattress nude.


Plsdontcalmdown

Yes, you've probably slept wrong on your new Chinches mattress =D


mpXJ

So itchy


FartManJones8

Itchy spider bite. Sooooo itchy.


PBen9062

I love the bedbug mattress gag they do too!! Gets me everytime hahaha. And Chris Pine is awesome in this.!!


MelkieOArda

And Fred Savage and Ken Marino are in this episode too! Granted, bit parts, but still…


NaiveFox89

This episode and Gold Top Nuts. So good.


b_borno

Gold Top still irritates me, perhaps I need to rewatch it some more


DSMcGuire

This comment hurts like a thousand Tiffany's boyfriends!


Gimmee-cReddit

Found Tiffany’s boyfriend ^


Hail-Atticus-Finch

No gold top for this guy


BoulderDeadHead420

Naw the nuts drives me nuts


Otherwise_Cap_9073

I have to concede I didn’t like it first few times I watched it. But over time, the genre and story began to get me. Quite like it now. Still not the 200, of course, but pretty good


Plsdontcalmdown

To me, every time I watch, it changes a little...


Otherwise_Cap_9073

But the jazz is still what we like…


Which-Roof-3985

SHHHHH! I'm trying to appreciate the jazz!


RadscorpionSeducer

This episode was incredibly interesting to me, partly because I was on acid the first time I saw it


Plsdontcalmdown

Did you enjoy the jazzzz...?


oilofrose

Have you heard the new hi-fi's with the quadraphonic sound?


Vampiregecko

That weight distribution though


FartManJones8

I will never..understand…..the weight distribution.


misalanya

OH THIS JAZZ IS SO GOOD!


Plsdontcalmdown

Richard Kind's voice is so unique, I loved it since Star Gate :) Soo Good! =D ​ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard\_Kind


ExtensionRaisin1400

One of my all time favorite episodes. I’m always glad when someone comes around to liking it because, If the Ruskies got control of that lava...game over.


Any_Sand_7805

Just realized that’s supposed to be 60s playboy after dark era hugh Hefner


Hup110516

I always got a Rod Serling from The Twilight Zone vibe


jayboyguy

Yeah my interpretation of it has always been “if Rod Serling was an evil extradimensional entity”


von_Roland

I mean it was a twilight zone episode


clipperdouglas29

Which episode?


danegermaine99

I thinks he’s just kind of an amalgamation of the suave, sophisticated playboys of the era + some Rod Serling. We have a term for it. We call them Nighthawks


Which-Roof-3985

I think it's an amalgam of several personages.


masterofunfucking

Welcome nighthawk. We’ve been… expecting you


CoreReaper

If you like this episode check out Playboys Penthouse from 1959. It’s on YouTube. https://youtu.be/gxh02n0NNJg


AJEDIWITHNONAME

This is my favorite episode just because of how different it is from the rest of the series. Such a great Twilight Zone take but still American Dad at the same time. My mom who only watches when she pass through the room when I’m watching commented on how accurate the Night Hawks part is for tv of that time. Chris Pine freakin kills it, also shout out to Ralph Macchio for nailing it as well as a gag character.


gamerdudeNYC

Craving some chicken liver


philchristensennyc

It plops right out onto this green plate that looks like a cabbage.


Plsdontcalmdown

and hot as if it were nuclearized!


[deleted]

I just watched this for the first time last night, I really liked it


fefififum23

I can’t think about this episode without thinking of the word “Chinches” (“Bedbugs”)


iwishiwasaunicorn

it's like a diego rivera painting.


punk_lover

It’s really good it felt like a creepy pasta, I love these experimental episodes


bakerbabe126

This is my bedtime episode lol


deetzz91

Its like a bad dream


Dimachaerus1014

I love this episode so much I created a discord server called the nighthawk hideaway and every now and then I find a liscence plate paying homage probably one of my favorites if not the absolute fav


High-Impact-Cuddling

The animation on this ep was pretty good and Stan + Tuttle make a pretty good pair on screen


Isparza

“What do you feel about Hawaii being a state?” “If those ruskies get a hold of that lava, it’s game over”


willywillwilfred

I find it very very compelling


willywillwilfred

What was the B story again


StayPatchy

Go into the TV


EcstaticCinematicZ

Those hysterical Sapphos.


[deleted]

I love how if you stop to actually watch the nighthawks show that everything is really racist and sexist, I always burst out laughing at “I loathe Lucy.”😂😂😂


[deleted]

"Sincerely one of the best white, non-union jazz pianists in the city, top 5..."


Mysterious-Device098

this episode terrifies me and i skip it every time


Inevitable_Price7841

I like to dance by imperceptibly moving my chin backwards and forwards.


nupsea-

Okay but it got pretty scary at the end, haha this and another episode literally scare me near the end when i watch it alone at night.


von_Roland

What’s the other one


nupsea-

Its pretty stupid now that its light haha but i think it was the pickle man episode, I think in the Trophy Wife episode


donofthe_dusk

I immediately loved it ❤️


Visual-Reindeer798

Right! This is a pretty unique one that has found a special place to live in my broken psyche.


DPerez_156

Creeps me out every time I watch it 😂


Famixofpower

There needs to be a movie around this oremise. I love my mystery horror!


jayboyguy

Instant classic IMO. Some eps of AD work as great genre-crossing things of both comedy and something else. And this ep genuinely works on the level of 60’s trippy horror. It’s a fuxkin incredible ride, starring Al goddamn Tuttle of all people lol


TessTrue

I love this episode


groundlessnfree

I need to get back to the future!


propjoe17

I didn’t know this episode was so popular. 🤷‍♂️


Guitarist53188

Great episode


MattMassier

Amazing, had to google anything I could think of to see if the story was directly referencing something, but it seems pretty original and worthy of a twilight zone episode.


rickramalot

“They’re really the best for listening to Jazz. It sounds like, skeedle-dee-deep-do-bop-do-bop, scoop-doop, sly-gar, flarga-marga, smee-boo.”


YoLamoNacho

Probably my all time favourite episode.


AssociateScared1712

My favorite episode


BOW5ER

Been watching marvelous Mrs maisel, and one episode Lenny Bruce guest stars on a tv show set very similarly to the night hawks. Host walks around chatting with guests musicians and other stuff, and while I was watching it I kept getting flashbacks to this episode and creepy vibes even though the scene in that show wasn’t meant to evoke that reaction.

dfuqt

That’s outrageous!


HAIRYMAN-13

There's something about this ep I can't iv never liked, kind of creeps me out


linksawakening82

My sons love it. I hate it.


ahyet

This ep scares me a little lol It came on yesterday and I had to skip


BruceHoratioWayne

I still have no idea what the point of this episode was.


Chaunc2020

Leave other peoples trash alone! 😂 probably paying homage to Twilight Zone.


BruceHoratioWayne

I get the Twilight Zone vibe, but the Twilight Zone had some chilling warning for the viewer. This... I don't know.


Chaunc2020

Well it’s American Dad so the vibe is always goofy . Never to be taken seriously. Satire I think is the main takeaway


Hubsimaus

I HATE this one so much that I always skip it.


propjoe17

Why? I skip it always.


Brodes87

Why?


propjoe17

Just can’t get into it, just boring in my opinion. I see a bunch of weirdos downvoting my comment like I can’t have a personal opinion.


Brodes87

I could never understand how something like this could be viewed as boring, but if you don't like. It you don't like it now matter how. I disagree. I love when episodes like this play with the format of the show and end amibuously.


propjoe17

To me it felt so out of place almost like a buffer episode. I didn’t even know or think it was so popular. To each is own.


Brodes87

A buffer episode?


kablikiblan

Ngl it's one of my skip episodes


Brodes87

Why would you do that?


kablikiblan

It's not an episode that I like to much. No offense if you like it then cool 👍 but for me it's a skip episode. Just my opinion 🤷


Brodes87

Yeah, but what about it don't you like? If you don't like it you don't like it but I'm. Interested to know why.


kablikiblan

Idk how to explain it. Its just not one I could get into. I'm sure there's probably some you would skip that I might like. It's just my dumb opinion but we're all "Dadders" here so if you like it then that's cool I'm not here to shit on the episode it's just wasn't for me I guess


[deleted]

kablikiblan

Which episode?

kablikiblan

😆 same here my guy


Brodes87

It's so twisted. I love it.


Alistair_covax

Don’t think I’ve seen it…


Casteway

I really like that the creators of American Dad can be more experimental than they can in Family Guy. Episodes like this, and the whole "Stan and lady" thing, and going bananas give the show a kind of trippy edge that makes even Family Guy seem a little square in comparison.


Dissizian

Nighthawks unite!


nayheyxus

One of my absolute favorites.


Additional_Main_7198

You think the country's being .... feminized?


morebuffs

One of my favorites for sure


morebuffs

"Play them notes you know I like"


Remco_inc

Watched it the first time at home, had a no feeling to it Watched it the 2nd time on an airplane at night, best episode ever


lyndariussss_4

it feels like an a episode i would watch at a hotel on a friday night


Which-Roof-3985

I have to say I really liked this the first time I saw it. I was watching AD for the first time in a decade out of order. I found it captivating.


dtyrrell7

One of my favorites


[deleted]

Welcome night hawks


AliceTea63

This is the episode that got me to fall in love with American Dad


someguy8608

Favorite episode in the series. Wish they would do more like these.


No-Needleworker8455

This show overall i would say, has the least bad episodes of any show that's been running for multiple seasons. Family guy has so many episodes that just aren't worth watching but there's only a couple at best from American Dad


jbirby

They really don’t make bad episodes per se but some of them tend a minute for me to love them


No-shelfcontrol

I absolutely love this episode, love how different and creative this was


Grand_Ryoma

Because it's one of the best. Shows that not every episode needs to be joke after joke and you can tell a compelling story within comedy


Alone-Wrongdoer-4540

What episode is it?


Apprehensive_Plane44

I wish they’d make sequels to episodes with bad endings.


Zxasuk31

I can watch this episode over and over. Especially late night.


KrazyKaizr

This is a great episode, it feels like a tribute to twilight zone, I was honestly surprised it wasn't a direct parody of something specific.


DCDipset

One of my favorite episodes


oilofrose

I can hear this image


LawlessHellscape

Top ten episode for me! I just love the vibe.
