10 American Dad Episodes That Pissed People Off
5. Stan's Best Friend (S8E14)
There have been jokes and stories on American Dad! that have offended more than its fair share of people, but this was an episode that upset dog lovers everywhere. For a lot of people, seeing a dog go through the things Kisses had to go through just wasn’t tasteful.
When the new family dog was badly injured, triggering Stan’s tragic memories of having to put his childhood pet down, he decided he would do anything to keep Kisses alive. This led him to Doctor Lizzy, who practiced alternative pet medicine.
She was incredibly creepy, but she promised to keep Kisses alive, which she did. However, the Frankenstein’s Monster that she turned him into was incredibly disturbing, and was absolutely not Kisses anymore.
For the most part, the injured dog was kept hidden from view, but when he was finally shown it was vomit-inducing. His skull was replaced with a softball mitt, his eyes and testicles had been swapped round, and his back legs were from a frog and chicken while he was constantly having to be electrically shocked to stay alive. Not fun viewing, this one.
