Go To

Like many long-running shows, American Dad! tends to have a lot of continuity errors in their later episodes. Some are Rule of Funny, cases of Early Installment Weirdness (or Later Installment Weirdness), and/or evidence that Seth MacFarlane's shows don't follow continuity; others (especially in the later FOX episodes and the TBS episodes) are obvious mistakes/oversights by the writers often for the sake of the plot or a joke.

open/close all folders
  • 'It's Good to Be the Queen': Francine reveals her favorite song is 'Little Red Corvette' by Prince, but in 'Francine's Flashback', it was established as 'The Greatest Love of All' by Whitney Houston (in fairness, given Francine's promiscuous past and the innuendo-laden lyrics, 'Little Red Corvette' is actually a better fit for her).
  • 'Joint Custody': Jeff's father says that Jeff's mother left before he was born (chalk this up to Rule of Funny), but in 'Stan Knows Best' Jeff says that his mother gave birth to him in the passenger seat of his van (where Hayley was currently sitting).
  • 'The Vacation Goo': Mr. PiBB is mentioned and consumed in this episode despite a major plot point for 'A.T. The Abusive Terrestrial' being that production on the drink was being ceased in favor of Mr. PiBB Xtra.
  • 'Haylias': This episode marks the first of several instances where it's said that the Smiths live on 416 Cherry Street instead of 1024 Cherry Street which was the address identified in the pilot.
  • '42-Year-Old Virgin': The plot of the episode about how Stan has never directly killed anyone is contradicted by several instances in Season 1 where he did directly kill someone (mostly by accident) which includes Jay Leno in 'Stan of Arabia Part 1' and Jackson's body double in 'It's Good to Be Queen'.
  • 'Surro-Gate': Francine says that both of her previous pregnancies were a breeze. This contradicts what was established in 'Star Trek' when she told Steve that she had a cesarean with Hayley's birth and a perineum scar while giving birth to him.
  • 'The Most Adequate Christmas Ever': Hayley is shown to be born in Africa during Stan & Francine's Safari trip. This contradicts 'Star Trek' establishing that Hayley was born via a cesarean section.
  • 'Spring Break-Up': Roger and Francine are discussing her figure, and he mentions that she looks good for saying that she's had three kids. Francine corrects him that she's only had two kids, to which Roger responds pityingly that in that case she doesn't look so good. Both of them seem to forget that earlier in the season (in the episode 'Surro-Gate'), she was the surrogate mother for Greg and Terry's daughter Libby, and so has actually been pregnant and given birth three times.
  • 'Choosy Wives Chose Smith': While stuck on the deserted island, Stan grows a beard despite him saying he was incapable of such in 'Homeland Insecurity'.
  • 'Phantom of the Telethon': Jim appears as an audience member despite being killed in the 2nd installment of the Golden Turd saga in 'Failure is Not a Factory-Installed Option'.
  • 'Chimdale': We learn that Stan went bald after being the guinea pig for an acne medication which has the side effect of hair loss while he was in college and now has to wear a wig, but a lot of earlier episodes have shown that Stan's hair is real. In 'Frannie 911,' one of the flashbacks of Francine enabling Roger's behavior includes Roger [dressed as an American Indian] scalping Stan and Stan shown with stubble where his hair used to be. If Stan were bald from college into his mid-adult years and has to wear a wig, Roger could have just taken the wig instead of scalping Stan. In turn, this is forgotten in 'Old Stan of the Mountain', when Stan is cursed to age prematurely, and his hair gradually greys and falls out and in 'Gifted Me Liberty,' where Stan's constant blood and semen donations causes his hair to fall out.
  • 'Stan Time': During the song he sang, Stan mentions learning how to play a guitar even though he already knew how to play the guitar in 'Stannie Get Your Gun'.
  • 'Family Affair': Hayley's shown taking part in a family prayer despite being an Atheist and is later eating lobster with her family despite being a vegetarian.
  • 'Jack's Back': Stan claims to have never learned how to fish before despite him fishing with his friends from work in 'Francine's Flashback'.
  • 'Bar Mitzvah Hustle': When Stan breaks the fourth wall, Klaus is revealed as a costumed character in front of a green screen. In 'Bullocks To Stan', Klaus is shown at a table read for American Dad! as a normal sized fish.
  • 'Delorean Story-an': Steve says he's been playing the cello for five years. But in 'Choosy Wives Chose Smith' he mentions beginning to learn how to play the cello simply to impress Lindsay Coolidge.
  • 'Every Which Way But Lose': Steve says it might not be possible for Stan to cry as he's never seen him do it. Despite this, Steve has previously seen Stan cry in 'Roger Codger' & 'Camp Refooge'.
  • 'Weiner of Our Discontent': Stan is revealed to have a shellfish allergy despite him ordering shrimp in 'Meter Made' and eating lobster with his family in 'Family Affair'. On top of that, Roger should've already known of his shellfish allergy in 'Roger n' Me' when he obtained all of Stan's memories.

Season 6 (2009-2010)

American Dad Principal Lewis

  • 'Shallow Vows': This episode establishes that Stan & Francine have been married for 20 years. This technically isn't true since they were temporarily divorced in 'When a Stan Loves a Woman' and Stan was remarried to Joanna (who is present at their vow renewal in this episode).
  • 'Rapture's Delight': Hayley ascends into heaven despite past episodes like 'Stan Knows Best' & 'Dope & Faith' establishing her as an Atheist. On top of that, she willingly helped the Antichrist himself escape in “Season’s Beatings”. Either God had a change of heart, or he has horrible judgement.
  • 'Don't Look a Smith Horse in the Mouth': Not only has Al Tuttle's name been changed to Bob, but Steve picks up a picture of Al next to his wife's tombstone which reads Lisa Tuttle despite it being previously established in 'Homeland Insecurity' that her name was Betty.
  • 'May the Best Stan Win': This episode establishes that Stan was born in 1967 while Francine was born in 1971. But in 'Bullocks to Stan', it's reported that Stan's only 10 months older than Francine.
  • 'Return of the Bling': Roger mentions that his constant usage of steroids during his time being a part of the 1980 US Olympics Hockey Team is the reason 'why his penis is so small'. Despite numerous past and future episodes establishing that he has no genitals at all.
  • 'Merlot Down Dirty Shame': The plot of this episode revolves around Roger being concerned after kissing Francine while they were both inebriated, despite them previously kissing in 'Chimdale' in order to throw off the spa detective.
  • 'Stan's Food Restaurant': Roger bleeds red when he bites the plate, even though his blood has been previously shown to be purple in 'One Little Word' and in later episodes like 'Ricky Spanish'.
  • 'There Will Be Bad Blood': Roger is shown to be visibly suffering from the effects of being out in the cold despite him being immune to freezing in 'The Most Adequate Christmas Ever' due to low temperatures being a feature on his home planet.
  • 'The People vs. Martin Sugar': The address on Stan's self addressed envelope for jury duty shows his house number to be 43 Cherry Street instead of 1024 Cherry Street.
  • 'You Debt Your Life':
    • The plot of the episode ends up making no sense when you realize that Stan had previously paid off the life debt in 'Office Spaceman' when he saved Roger from being dissected.
    • Gertie (the racist old lady from 'Rodger Codger' that Stan claimed to be an alien in order to save Roger) is seen at Area 51 in a stasis tank despite previously being on the doomed bus in '100 A.D.' earlier this season.
  • 'The Worst Stan': One of the people at El Fuego Del Sexo is Becky Arangigo despite being killed in 'The Vacation Goo'.
  • 'Virtual In-Stanity':
    • Stan says he slept with Francine on his first two dates with her. Yet in 'When a Stan Loves a Woman', he says he didn't have sex with Francine until they were married.
    • The home movie for Steve's birth has Stan absent even though the flashback to Steve's birth in 'I Am the Walrus' had him present.
  • 'The Scarlett Getter': Roger claimed to have no bones in his arms in 'American Dream Factory', yet here bones are clearly visible when Stan & Francine are slap fighting each other with them.
  • 'Stanny Tendergrass': The subplot is about Francine wanting to create a catchphrase, despite already inventing 'Hill of bananas' in 'Bully for Steve'.
  • 'The Wrestler':
    • This episode shows that Stan was one of his high school's star athletes, due to having a record-breaking number of wrestling wins. This in spite of the fact that, in all prior references to Stan's time in high school, he was depicted as an utter loser, and didn't hit his stride in life until after he graduated.
    • The little girl named Susie is seen at the Early Bird Nursery School at the end of the episode despite having appeared earlier in the episode at Pearl Bailey High School when Principal Lewis announces the restart of the wrestling program. Furthermore, she's been shown at Pearl Bailey High School several times beforehand including 'Red October Sky'.
  • 'Stan's Best Friend':
    • Subverted when Francine reminds Stan that they've had dogs before (Thor [the 19-year-old walking corpse that Stan shot accidentally] in the pilot and Fussy in 'Not Particularly Desperate Housewives') as he quickly claims that those were dreams.
    • Played straight when Francine mentions Steve owning Thor five years prior to this episode, when the pilot actually aired seven years before this one.
    • We see that there is a Heaven for dogs, despite Father Donovan claiming in 'Roger Codger' that such a Heaven doesn't exist.
      • Father Donovan is a cynical jerkass. 'Rapture's Delight' has him denied rapture because he didn't truly believe in God.
  • 'The Kidney Stays in the Picture':
    • This episode reveals that Hayley was born in 1996 which would make her at least 15 at the time of it's airing. However, she claimed to be 18 in 'Stan Knows Best'.
    • Stan's younger self is aware of Back to the Future, even though his present self claims to have never heard of it in 'Delorean Story-an'.
  • 'Ricky Spanish': Roger's blood is red in this episode despite it previously being purple in episodes like 'One Little Word' and 'There Will Be Bad Blood'.
  • 'Toy Whorey':
    • The entire episode revolves around the fact that Steve still plays with his toys, which contradicts the ending of 'Bar Mitzvah Shuffle' where he tells Snot that he sold his toys in order to pay for his bar mitzvah (unless he bought new toys/got new toys as gifts, since the ones in this episode are different from the ones he had in 'Bar Mitzvah Hustle').
    • In this episode, Steve is 14 despite turning 15 in 'Virtual In-Stanity'.
  • 'National Treasure 4: Baby Frannie: She's Doing Fine: The Whole Story': Francine laments the fact that she hasn't achieved anything, seemingly forgetting that she discovered the colossal squid in 'Stan Time'.
    • Technically, she gave up on hunting for the cryptid squid due to Stan’s plight, even though it did truly exist, as Stan killed it in shock.
  • 'Naked to the Limit, One More Time': The entire plot of this episode about dealing with Jeff learning about Roger being an alien completely falls apart when you realize that he had previously seen him without a persona twice! (the first in 'Widowmaker' and the other in 'I Am the Walrus')
  • 'Spelling Bee My Baby': Hiko Yoshida (Toshi & Akiko's mom) is revealed to not speak Japanese despite Toshi's fluency with the language. But she'd previously scolded him in 'Best Little Horror House on Langley Falls' meaning that she at least understood the language then. Additionally, dialogue from Stan in 'The Magnificent Steven' reveals that she and her husband spoke Japanese in that episode when he mentions being unable to understand them while trying to get their permission to take Toshi on his cattle drive.
  • 'The Missing Kink': The Midget Assassin is seen during Stan and Francine's kinky sex, even though he was killed by Francine in 'License to Till.'
  • 'Da Flippity Flop': Stan claims to have been 'made' in 1968, despite it being shown in 'May the Best Stan Win' that he was born in 1967.
  • 'Steve and Snot's Test-Tubular Adventure': Steve and Snot ask Hayley for romance advice, despite the latter lying to her in 'The Missing Kink' by claiming that he was gay.
  • 'Buck, Wild': Just like in 'Toy Whorey', Steve is said to be 14 despite turning 15 in 'Virtual In-Stanity'.
  • 'Familyland': Roger is seen at the beginning of the episode playing with a tablet, despite claiming in 'Toy Whorey' that he 'Doesn't have the fingers for it'.
  • 'Introducing the Naughty Stewardesses': Steve claims to have never met a girls' parents before, despite previously meeting Jeanine Winthrop's parents in 'A Jones for a Smith' (unless he meant 'both parents', as Steve met Jeanine's father in 'A Jones for a Smith').
  • 'Rubberneckers': Steve mentions that he would have sex with Francine if she wasn't his mother during the song 'Is She Not Hot Enough?', but 'Poltergasm' had him disgusted about the idea of having sex with her.
  • 'The Longest Distance Relationship': When Roger turns his body inside out, he's shown to have bones despite it being previously established that he didn't have any in his arms on 'American Dream Factory'.

Season 11 (2014)
  • 'Roger Passes the Bar': Roger clenches his chest when he's having a heart attack, even though in 'Four Little Words', he says his heart is actually where his butt is.
  • 'CIAPOW': Dick claims to have never seen the movie Argo despite him mentioning in 'Stan Time' that he was in the process of watching every movie ever made due taking the pills that prevented him from sleeping.
  • 'Scents and Sensei-Bility': Steve doesn't know what a 'starfish' is (the anus), but in 'Son of Stan', he tells Stan and Francine he's going to 'put a Popsicle on the ol' starfish' after getting wedgied in school.
  • 'Now and Gwen': It's revealed that while Francine was a freshmen in high school her adopted sister Gwen was a senior. Even though it was said in 'Meter Made' that Gwen is three years younger than Francine and Gwen isn't smart enough to have skipped junior year of high school.
  • 'Dreaming of a White Porsche Christmas': Despite having an It's a Wonderful Life-esque fantasy in 'Stan of Arabia Part 2', Stan claims to have never seen the movie.
  • 'Morning Mimosa':
    • Once again Steve is said to be 14 despite turning 15 in 'Virtual In-Stanity'.
    • Snot is romantically interested in Hayley despite losing interest in her in 'The Missing Kink'.
  • 'My Affair Lady':
    • Hayley mentions being unemployed for five years even though she's been shown have numerous jobs before such as an airport attendant in 'Minstrel Krampus' and as a bartender in Roger's bar in 'She Swill Survive' (though both were temporary; the airport attendant job was for the holiday season only and Hayley had to quit being a bartender because it was making her an alcoholic and a threat to national security).
    • Klaus' human design seen in this episode is drastically different from the one shown in the pilot and 'Da Flippity Flop'.
  • 'Manhattan Magical Murder Mystery Tour': Francine writes a mystery novel even though she said to have hated reading in 'Stan Time'.
  • 'Roots': Stan is shown riding a bike his tree in the flashback sequence even though 'Jack's Back' showed that he never learned how to ride a bike as a kid because his father abandoned him before he hit the age when most boys would learn how to ride a bike.
  • 'Hayley Smith, Seal Team Six': Roger claims to remember 'Happy Hayley' (Hayley when she was 6), but it was established in 'A.T. The Abusive Terrestrial' that the family didn't get him until Steve's 10th birthday when Hayley would've been either 14 or 15.
  • 'Kiss Kiss, Cam Cam':
    • Hayley claims her favorite song is 'Bathtub Gin' (the 'Live from Atlantic City' version) by Phish. However, in 'Jenny Fromdabloc' it's said that her favorite song is 'Gangsta's Paradise' by Coolio.
    • Katie (one of the members of the Ladybugs from 'Not Particularly Desperate Housewives') is seen at the ballgame despite previously dying in a bus crash in '100 A.D.' (unless that's a case of animators recycling and repurposing older characters to fill out crowd scenes).
    • Francine reminds Stan that she hates hot dogs, despite the scene in 'Seizures Suit Stanny' in which she claims to 'need, need, neeeeeeeeeed a hot dog.'
  • 'The Devil Wears a Lapel Pin':
    • Francine claims she never went to college, even though she mentions meeting Stan there in the pilot as well as mentioning how she stabbed her college roommate in 'Family Affair'.
    • Apparently the Smiths live on 416 Cherry Street instead of 1024 Cherry Street.
  • 'Stan-Dan Deliver': Roger claims to have no bones despite 'The Longest Distance Relationship' showing otherwise.
  • 'Widow's Pique': Stan eats clams despite saying that he had a shellfish allergy in 'The Weiner of Our Discontent'.
  • 'Daesong Heavy Industries':
    • Steve acts surprised that he's in a sermon for adults, even though 'Deacon Stan, Jesus Man' from season one showed him at the adult sermon with his family.
    • Steve poking holes in the Bible stories causes Stan to lose his faith in religion, even though Stan previously met God Himself in 'The Most Adequate Christmas Ever' (though 'The Most Adequate Christmas Ever' is said to be non-canon, so this is up for debate on whether or not it's a mistake).
  • 'Criss-Cross Applesauce: The Ballad of Billy Jesusworth': Roger breaks his ankle despite him claiming to have no bones in 'Stan-Dan Deliver'.
  • 'Mine Struggle': Now the Smiths live on 1018 Cherry Street instead of 1024 Cherry Street.
  • 'Garfield and Friends': In the flashbacks of Hayley and Stan bonding over their Presidents' Day trips, Hayley is shown as a teenager happily singing along to 'Party in the USA' by Miley Cyrus, even though 'Hayley Smith, Seal Team Six' established that Hayley hasn't been happy since she was seven (not to mention that it would be out of character for someone like Hayley to like Miley Cyrus in the first place. Then again, she did admit to liking the Step Up movies in this episode, even though she thinks they're lame). On top of that, she's portrayed as younger during the time of the song's release when she would've been the same age she's always been when it originally came out (mid-2009).
  • 'Standard Deviation': Just like in 'Familyland', Roger is seen at the beginning of the episode playing with a tablet, despite claiming in 'Toy Whorey' that he 'Doesn't have the fingers for it'.
  • 'Fight and Flight': The Smiths are said to live on 416 North Cherry Street instead of their usual 1024 Cherry Street.

    • Since the very first episode, Klaus was established to being a skater in the 1986 Winter Olympics. In this episode, his past is changed to make him a college student post-1994 when the Foo Fighters were formed.
  • 'Family Plan': Francine claims to have never met her birth parents, although they were present at the vow renewal in 'Shallow Vows'.
  • 'The Talented Mr. Dingleberry': Steve claims he doesn't know Morse code, despite Stan mentioning that he taught it to him in 'Homeland Insecurity'.
