10 Craziest Fan Theories About American Dad
6. Stewie Controls American Dad
This American Dad/Family Guy theory stems from the Family Guy episodes titled Stewie Kills Lois (Season 6, Episode 4) and Lois Kills Stewie (Season 6, Episode 5). As discussed in an article by Michael McCarrick, Stewie believes he has killed Lois, only to wind up being killed by Lois after he has assumed world domination in a two part episode that is a simulation, revealed to the audience in the final moments of the two parter during an interaction between Brian and Stewie.
During the simulated storyline, Brian and Stewie travel to the CIA in order to further Stewie's evil plans where the pair meets meets Stan Smith and Avery Bullock, who fail to stop the infant. While the encounter is only brief, the scene has left fans from both series speculating as to whether American Dad may be a creation from the intelligent infant using his simulation software.
Imagine the closing moments in American Dad's final ever episode being Stewie simply ending the simulation. Minds would be blown.
