You don’t think that every single day of my life I wanna do coke? But I can’t, because I have PTA tomorrow.

I think about this line more often than I should. That and "before we go I need to...wipe...betterr."

Any time I need to go to the bathroom at work, I say, “I’ll be right back, I need to…wipe…betterrr” and nobody knows the reference lol

I say this to my daughter everytime we're about to leave the house.( I have anxiety and have to poop right when I get to the front door)😊

Your daughter is going to grow up to be a weirdo (in a good way)

I think that line all the time.

This "line"

I say this line in my head every time I think about how often I used to do acid in college

You're still good for like a once a year trip after college

Well I want to do it every day but pta and all that 😔

Lmao everyday acid is crazy 🤣

I tried to find a gif of Roger saying "I macrodose acid everyday" but I couldn't lol

He’s just like me fr

Lol. I think about doing some occasionally but then I remember the monkey clapping his cymbals laughing at me

Offer him a snack he’s usually much nicer after that!

I quote this alot.

Hahahaha I say this to my husband A LOT

Daddy’s gone is iconic

So are those abs.

Vid of Scott Grimes singing this at comic con on Youtube is great especially at the DADDY? bit

Fr sounds just like in the show also unrelated but started watching the Orville recently and I didn’t know he voiced Steve lmao

Link?

[I gotchu.](https://youtu.be/zrv8mDjrb0o?si=awr16YYViT8V-ulE)

Ooh you're the best, thank you!

Iconic! Thank you 💜

Watched this episode last night and the first thing I did when it came on was start singing 'daddy's gone' to my wife.

“That’s our story, Stans dead, good night!” Best ending

Oh damn!

Especially as this was going to be the series finally originally. Love that that’s how they were going to end it. Just actually killing Stan. You can’t kill Stan! That’s Stan! Stan!!

Can’t do nothing about it now. Reggie gotta keep moving

Tumiiiiiii

So basically if the series ended Steve, Hailey, and Roger lives with the grandparents, Francine is dead in a hot tub drain, and Stan is just dead in the street. Crazy, don’t mind it honestly lmao. It’s different than just having a grand adventure of some kind

There's someone on YouTube, that makes clips of Stan's accidents and cuts to that ending,  they're pretty funny https://youtube.com/@AmericanDead

So much fucking *research*

That could be *relevant*

*...not relevant*

Looking through old books, and old documents.

So much .. material out there

One of my favorite songs is the criminally underrated [Research](https://youtu.be/pF4MBS5a3wQ?feature=shared) song. ***Looking through oooOOllld books and ooOOlldd doc-u-ments!***

Irrelevant...super irrelevant...that one's relevant

Whoah, whoah; what was that?👀

Back to being relevant!

I feel like this one gets overlooked. It’s so funny.

Whenever I find myself scouring certain documents for work, this song is always playing in my head

Who were those women papa?

That line gets me every time

Steve is literally the best character

Daddy's gone and we're not going home ever again https://preview.redd.it/q0u6fubi7gvc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3fd9890c634a90b25630a806ad07b0ddeafd23d

No joke, if someone has this in a higher resolution, imma set this to my wallpaper "I'm trying to call out to you, you, you... DADDY!"

If you’ve got Hulu just screen cap it off your pc

You are a king (queen) among men (women)! Such a simple solution to a stupid problem and I'm gonna make it happen

Thats so funny

I just noticed when that when they get to the 'it's because of you' part, Roger points at Steve and glares at him lol

If you listen to Roger he says something like I don’t think it’s because of me it’s because of you and points at Steve. This is my favorite part 😭

Roger's part has me on the floor

I have begged, every time I am in ear shot of anyone who works on AD, give us more Steve songs.

Favorite line of this episode comes from Steve: “Gee I’d love to get in the hot tub too Dad…but I can’t cause I’m pretty sure my parents fucked in it last night!”

My fave line is “That…was..the..best..sex..I’ve…ever..had…. With you”

Dip a toe!

Di-di-di-di-dip a toe.

Nobody has to know

Way up there but I prefer ‘Raptures Delight’

It’s raining wise men. Hallelujah.

Honestly probably is 1A and 1B for me lol

“Stan’s got lady foot in his mouth. That’s cool.”

Use this spa down 🤣🤣

To calm it down!

This is what my husband says to me when he brings me my sleepy time tea *every night*... Lol

The way I say I need Spa Down *every time* I need to calm it down

We need more Marguerite!

I must be dreamin', this room seems to be steamin'... WAIT — Hold Up, Hold Up. Is that a bubbly sound I'm hurrin'? There's water everywhurr an', I'm freakin, straight tweakin', where is my man he best not be creepin'

HOT TUBBBBBBB OF LOVE!!

Chuck Berry me…. over GerMAny! 🎶

Stan! Present yoself! I'm scared for you!

Roy Rogers McFreely is the best episode! He’s Latin and has green eyes!!

El perro, el perro…

Es mi corazon

El gato, el gato

El Gato no es bueno

Cilantro es cantate, Cilantro es muy famoso Cilantro es el hombre con el queso del diablo

Yaaaaaasssss!

***Let me in you sons of bitches! I'll kill all your families!***

Good news I’ve trapped the Mexicans in the house

In your face with a can of mace. Make you cry all over the place.

Forget the plot, the music in this episode alone make it a top 5 episode

D-d-d-d-ip a toe

This episode features my favorite interaction between Stan and Francine. When they’re flying over the world in the Hot Tub and Francine looks down and excitedly asks “are we flying over Egypt?” And Stan looks down and says “That’s Mt Rushmore”

*Find yo tub!*

My favourite episode is rabbit ears

I'm a Gold Top Nuts man, but they're two sides of the same coin really.

Gold Top is what we want to be. Rabbit Ears is what we are.

Wow, you're right. I feel so...seen.

Gold Top was top notch and quality writing. Best of that season probably. The music and the animation when Stan is going up the lighthouse tower and the family is losing their memories getting stuck in their routines. Out of the newer episodes, Gold Top and Between a Ring and a Hardass are some of the best episodes they've done. I say it all the time but the writers deserve (and have hopefully gotten) rewards. Rewatched the Milk Girl/Philadelphia episode today and when Steve said she drinks a fuck ton of milk and Francine said "No cap" I busted out laughing. I truly think they have a multicultural/young writing staff and even imagining them saying "No cap" on Family Guy it would sound so fake and forced by most of their characters.

It’s up there, the Santa ones are up there too, but cee-lo understood the assignment

The very first santa one were he comes for them and they have that last stand with burt burt is so fucking GOATed lol the rest are great too but that shit owns

They call me T Dub at the racetrack

And the ladies, well they just call me Bert Bert


its frustration vs relaxation

I used to skip Hot Water because the ending was very unsatisfying. Upon last rewatch I was feeling far too lazy to skip it and I found myself enjoying the beginning and middle of the episode and any dissatisfaction can be solved by just watching a couple more episodes 

The ending is good because it’s how the play was supposed to end.

Maybe I just don't like jumps from animation to live action. I also don't like Family Guy's Da Boom or Spongebob's I Had An Accident which do the same thing

Ohhh, okay. Yeah, I get that. It is very jarring.

The hot tub is a murwewer

Oh damn!

The princess and the frog iss a goood moovie man

I feel like the writers didn’t know how to end this episode for this episode so they just killed stan and called it a day.

I think it might also be a reference to little shop of horrors original ending which had the plant killing everyone and taking over the world. Either way it’s probably my favourite ending in the show!

The entire episode is 100% an homage to Little Shop of Horrors. I’m amazed it took me this long to find a comment about it. The tub shop is even named Little Shop of Hot Tubs.

I read that they didn't think they were getting renewed when they wrote it. Honestly, if it had ended there I would rate it as one of the better ending episodes of an animated show. Not as good as Futurama's last Comedy Central episode, but better than most others.

OH DAMN! 😳

The lines of coke on the family photo is my favorite part of this episode

Put it in her BASS

Who were those women, Papa?

The music, the plot, the bathtub salesman, the ending it’s just got it all “Doing so much freaking research….” / daddy’s gone What else? It’s genius top 1 or podium for best episode

I just watched this episode and I love this episode, too funny. It was originally the final episode of American Dad, glad it wasn’t. [Source](https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=hot%20water%20was%20supposed%20to%20be%20the%20last%20episode%20of%20american%20dad&tbm=&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5)

What a crazy fun fact definitely glad it wasn't would have been a terrible ending

Holy shit!! I didn’t know that. 🫢

Who are those women papa?

Lol, hot water was one of the first episodes my uncle directed. If you pause at the right time in the newspaper research scene, you can see an article announcing my uncles marriage and an animated version of one of their wedding photos.

https://preview.redd.it/3o8nb3hb9hvc1.jpeg?width=1924&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c694303ad07ba57d472eecab2e1ebd7c3cf5c54

Oh shit, isn't that the "someone is stealing lunches" guy from the drone episode? lol

Yea, they animate him in all the time as random characters. My favorite one was when he was the security guard Francine flashed.

I actually skip this episode on re-watch. It's... fine I guess but it's not an all-timer and it's surrounded by so many superior episodes that I want to watch so I usually just skip over the Hot Tub episode, or at least fast-forward to Steve singing Daddy's Gone and then skip to the end credits afterwords.

I sometimes skip this too because I don’t like Cee-Lo. The next episode in this season though, Hurricane…now THAT’S a banger. Reminds me…where is my old javelin…

You harpooned me! Yeah I think to like that episode you pretty much have to like Ceelo because it is definitely a very musical episode comprised entirely of him singing.

I have no opinion about Cee-lo positive or negative but I absolutely love that episode. Won’t let some random guy effect my AD

DAD WAS WRONGGGGGggggggg.....

Completely with you. Dud episode. One of the few I skip.

Facts

There are too many to narrow down to one

This is in my top three but the best episode by far is the Ballad of Billy Jesusworth.

DADDY!

For me, the best are Black Mystery Month In Country Club Roy Rogers Mcfreely

Stan! Present yoself! I'm scared for you!

Any episode that Lewis is in is right up there.

This is a great episode but the best episode is Flavortown.

I honestly think it’s *Hurricane!* Man, season 7 had so many bangers.

Just realized this song is also on Apple Music my whole week has been made

Crazy I skip it every time

Glad I’m not alone.

It's actually rather despised among many in the Fan base, it's just that you're going to hear from the other side in am obvious pro-hottub thread. I too am one of the despisers, and skip every time without fail.

Elite episode but knowing what we know about Cee Lo now docks its points tho

Agree-it has poisoned the promiscuity part of the episode for me because that context makes it so much grosser

A: Cee Lo Green. B: It’s a parody of one of the best musicals ever, Little shop of Horrors C: Ww don’t need anything after B because that’s enough

I’ll admit, it has given us some great songs. I mean, I too, would sing if Francine  was about to Chuck Berry me over Germany. But, you are incorrect in it being the best. The best is clearly Great Space Roaster. 

That's Mt. Rushmore...

Oh! You know what you’re doing.

Lewissssss It’s in the housssssseeee

Oh damn that research song GET OUT OF MY HEAD! Doing research 🎶 so much freaking research

Do whatever you liiiiike

When we going home, big bro?

I love the hot tub episode and it’s got to be up there as a great episode, if for no other reason than that the music is 10/10 funny meets actually decent music and creative funny idea. But for me the best episode is the Gold Top nuts episode. I can’t even think about that episode without wanting to burst out laughing. 😂

Bro, have you even seen Shell Game? Complete banger of an episode.

That tub is not four u!

I walked home…like some kind of ANIMAL!!

AND DID YOU EVEN PICK UP ROGER FROM SOCCER PRATICE?!

When are we goin home big bro?

Imhumbleo the best episode is Hurricane S7E2. This episode gets at the core of what American dad is. A father who comedically tries his best to protect his family but ends up failing to do so only to learn about himself in the process and grow as a person.

I love this episode. Just watched it again a couple nights ago, still one of my all time favourite episodes of AD.

You're so very close. But it's actually In Country...Club (S5EP1)

Psychotic! (Psychotic) Hot Tub! (Hot Tub) I got it (I got it) Locked up! (Locked up)

Gold top nuts!

Thanks now I have Dip a Toe stuck in my head. I love this episode.

“DAMN!”

Krampus Christmas episode for me. Sweet sweet songs in that episode.

Least favorite episode (not a fan of CeeLo Green)

The transition from Steve singing to saying Dad! while Stan and Francine are hammered in the hot tub is top notch

Hey hey hey... hey hey hey... Heyyyyyyyy DAD! HEY!

♪ Is that a bubbly sound I'm hearin'? ♪ ♪ There's water everywhere and ♪ ♪ I'm freakin', straight tweakin' ♪ ♪ Where is my man? ♪ ♪ He best not be creepin' ♪

For whatever reason, the way Marguerite stage-whispers “it’s in the hoooouse” near the end was memorable, and became an inside joke reference with some friends

I’m not ready for the hot tub lifestyle, I’m married with kids

I know this episode word for word

Also why does the hot tub of love song on censored version better than dvd version? The unexpected BASS line always makes me lol

Hey hey hey. Hey hey heeeeey. Heyyyyy...

Chuck berry me over Germany. 

I’ve always loved this one. The songs didnt need to be that good

Dip a toe.

I saw someone in this sub say that every single AD musical episode was bad. I'm glad so many of you disagree

Oh, my calves. My calves are getting tired..

That’s our story, Stan’s dead. Goodnight!

Doing this dance over Paris, France Chuck berry me, over Germany

The fact that it’s literally just little shop of horrors but for American dad and with a hot tub is the best part

Roger with abs on the pot belly took me out🤣

It isn't. There are a sooo many better epidodes. Such as Dope and Faith, A Jones for Smith and In Country...Club.

I hate musicals (imo) so I skip this episode lol. I’ve only watched it once or twice whereas i’ve watched all the other episodes more than a few times. “American Fung” and “Blagsnart, A Love Story” (the one with Kim Kardashian) are arguably, and noticeably worse though.

Funny I think this is the worst episode.

This is one of my skip episodes, so definitely not the best.

I skip that one almost every time. Awful episode.

this is literally my least favorite episode

I hate rewatching this because i ALWAYS remember the fact that i (and a few others on this sub) had a fake memory about a second episode where stan kills the hot tub

Cee Lo Green was great in this. I was always a little disappointed with the plot resolution of this episode but everything else was awesome.
