I like how Stan is just the result of shitty parenting but deep down he's actually a good person.

[@renranger2135]

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep down

[@GerSanRiv]

I like the tragedy of how he somehow heals himself while continuing the cycle with Steve. The episode about the basketball players, the one from the thumbnail is one of my favourites because of that.

[@t84t748748t6]

no stan thinks hey is a good persoon but hey has done thing to his family that in real life wil put u in prison for life

[@VideoGuy232]

Yes yes, all awful people are good deep down but grew up under bad circumstances. Ultimately it’s your actions that define you though, not the person you are “deep down”

[@victormelendez2332]

Look Stan may have done terrible things. But they were some moments that proved that he was better than his dead beat dad. One times when he electrocuted himself and later Francine and died. He made a deal with the devil to bring him and Francine back home that when he dies in the future he will be sent to hell while Francine goes to heaven. He threatened God at gun point for a second chance to live in order to save his family from freezing to death in their car. Stopped Steve from having surgery which could ruin his body in order to be taller.

[@deeya]

Continuity in American Dad is pretty impressive, especially considering the time gap between episodes, and the amount of randomness in between. Because it is proven true some seasons later that Stan was the reason Jack had to leave. Another one is the question of Haley's father. Too bad they kinda threw that out in recent seasons, where Jack was inexplicably human again before dying, and Greg's daughter Libby is now a baby again.

[@barisbal7782]

[@maythesciencebewithyou]

Stan is only sensitive when the episode demands it. Most of the time he is the opposite.

[@gun506]

Honestly one of the things I love about american dad compared to family guy is that while stan is still a bad father, he at least has reasons behind how he behaves as opposed to peter just being horrible to his family. Most of the time we see this is with steve, stan sees a lot of his younger self in steve and wants steve to be better so he doesn't have to go through the same things. This normally results in stan going too far in trying to get steve to "toughen up". Stan while still doing a shit job at it, actually does still love and try to do better for his family but typically fails because of his stupidity or being narrow-minded.

[@pokemonjhotomaster]

Too be fair Peter had a crap childhood too. His real father abandoned him and his step father was too busy with work to pay attention to him.

[@gun506]

@@pokemonjhotomaster I never said he didn't have a terrible childhood, but peter is just a straight up terrible father because he enjoys terrorizing or harassing his children. They're both bad dad's but stan is at least trying and doing what he thinks is best, but often fails because of his views being twisted by his terrible upbringing whereas peter Is just pure maliciousness.

I can understand that feeling. Childhood can be very complex when things are not how a family should have together while having a good time as they should. Even 24/7 can be a shitty one to deal with if someone who really don't have time with you or be so negative all the time. I understand how Stan's childhood was not so great while growing up without a dad. While either a parent or a child have to take over which can be very stress for only one person. To tell everyone who might see this. I am also a misfit one as well, with a erratic childhood.
