"i GOING TO FLY" was played on scooby doo movie what is it a amthem?

 

[zoombie]

Didn't The Simpson do a similar episode, in which Homer learns how different college kids are once Spring Break is over?

Who was the voice of Jessica? Was that Rachel MacFarline?, I thought for sure that was Grey DeLisle, but her name didn't come up in the credits.

I got that vibe too, but yeah, I think it was Rachel just doing a higher voice.

That was a great episode. I loved every minute of it. Not only was Roger in his element as the king of spring break, but he did a great job too. Stan was good, but it did seem like he was needing to learn a lesson (although the person really needing a lesson was Francine). Haley was barely visible in a story where she should have been all over the place, although the football in the stomach was hilarious. And Klaus, the poor guy just can't seem to get a break; not only would your one not placate him, but the booze was out of his reach as well. Lol at him going down the drain. Which leads us all to...

Steve. Steve, Steve, Steve. What can I say. Not only were you and your friends heading for the night of your dreams, but you bagged the hottest one of the lot. But the move on Carmen Selectra? Smart move getting the medical records. Yes, there really are too many wiener-rotting diseases out there these days. And you came close, so close to your goal of getting boob. But ah well, next season is just around the corner. maybe then.

9/10 best of the evening and a great way to finish the season.

Wow, a great episode, this has to be one of my favorite American Dad episodes, easily the best episode that aired today on Fox.

 

[Frank]

Wow! This is the second time Carmen Electra has guest starred in an episode of American Dad. Ok this was a good episode although Hayley had very little to do in this episode. The scene were Klaus goes down the drain was funny.

3/5 Good episode.

 

[Classic Speedy]

The scenery crashing down and killing Selectra was perfectly timed. I had a feeling something would get in the way of Steve finally getting some, but I wasn't sure what. "It's not the best party ever until someone dies!" LOL.

Anyone else catch a split second of some random person vomiting into the pool when Stan answered his cell phone? It was quick but it was a perfect addition to the crazy atmosphere.

 

[SirLemming]

This was a good episode, with something interesting for almost everyone to do (still not much for Hayley). I do have to wonder a bit, though, at the end of the season, if the show is going anywhere. For the past 2 years, it hasn't really changed. Fortunately it hasn't gotten worse, but it might have to evolve a little next year to keep my interest.

That being said, my favorite moments of this episode were the bizarrely funny close-up of Stan's gyrating butt and the part where he was talking about how close his fingers were. "Are you looking, Francine? ...Damn, those sons of b****es are close."

 

[AhmedtheHead]

This was a very funny finale. Lots of big laughs here!

Great way to end a great season. Here's to season four!

 

[MasterofRoku]

I agree this episode was awesome. I laughed at Roger's quote, Carmen getting killed, and the Kalus going down the drain. I can't wait for the new season to start.

Also, did anyone notice the two strippers from "Stan Knows Best" [season 1] in the episode?

 

[Infusions]

Carmen getting killed

I read "Cartman". Llawlawlawl.

The episode felt really long to me, like, with most new episodes, you seem to get in to it just as it ends. I kinda liked it like this. I managed to get into it and stay interested without it ending quickly. :D

 

[Lazerboy5000]

What a great episode. Songs from Sugar Ray and the Black Eyed Peas were a welcomed surprise. But I thought that Stan’s Spring Break Buddy Jessica was awesome. It was everything he wanted, but when Stan went to Rugters… facepalm, that was really funny.

But I thought Jessica went to Center West Virigina or something like that, not Rugters.


And Steve getting this close to having sex… no you have to look how close my fingers are.

Spoiler

Roger declining being King of Spring Break, no way. That’s just not like him.
*Carman Electra dies*
*Roger is now King of Spring Break*
Now that’s the Roger I know.

Haha, got to give this episode a 10/10

 

[tb4000]

It's not a real party until somebody dies. Haha, sad but true.

 

[Dogasu]

Sugar Ray? Really!? They couldn't have found a group more contemporary?

 

[BrendaBat]

Man, that was awesome! Steve's subplot was definitely the funniest (I loved his line about "all the wiener rotting diseases out there"). And Roger rocked as the King of Spring Break.

Stan and Francine's little mid-life crisis was handled well, too.

I figure if its not broke, don't fix it. The show is consistently funny as is. I hope it doesn't make any major changes any time soon.

Well, the're pretty appropriate for a Spring Break party. Just old enough and just young enough. (That sounds a little odd, but I'll go with it.)

That hasn't worked well for The Simpsons.

I'm always a fan of episodes that don't just bother teaching Stan the same lesson over and over, so was glad to see it switch up here. Obviously Stan did get too obsessive with his new "Spring Break Buddy" Jessica to the point of following her to College and trying to marry her but he obviously didn't learn any lessons of restraint or that going after other women is wrong. Rather it was Francinne who learned you still need to work for your marrige even when in them for so long. That if you don't follow some routine or don't make the effort to make your partner happy it could cost you so glad she was taught that by her Step Mom (who actually is a sort of funny character who I'm actually glad they kept around thinking about it). In truth though the rest of this episode wasn't very funny. The big laughs I got were the whole weird angle the Steve/Carmen Selectra plot went with Steve actually rejecting her until she got a medical test and breast reduction. Like I've said before they are really taking his character in weird directions. Even weirder then Roger directions. Though in truth the end left a bitter taste on my mouth: Killing off Carmen and making Roger realize that's what his Spring Break needed to be the best was incredibley cruel. Not even funny but just cruel cruel. Also though all the Spring Break stunts looked impressive none of them were really any funny and really the whole Sugar Ray song made this ep look pretty outdated actually. Points for teaching a more unique moral but that dosen't make it a necessarily good epiosde.

Seth McFarlane ripping off The Simpsons? Wow, what a shocker.
