10 Craziest Fan Theories About American Dad
3. American Dad Is A TV Show In The Family Guy Universe
Another popular fan theory circling around the internet is that the events of American Dad are all part of a television series filmed within the Family Guy universe. While the Cleveland Show and Family Guy both have had numerous crossovers, American Dad has barely crossed over with the other MacFarlane shows.
Many believe this is due to American Dad being a television series within the Family Guy universe. There is proof to support the theory as American Dad consistently breaks the fourth wall, with episodes such as Bar Mitzvah Hustle (Season 4, Episode 14) showcasing Stan walking off a set after refusing to read his lines.
The Family Guy episodes Stewie Kills Lois and Lois Kills Stewie" also support the claims, as Stan and Bullock appear in Stewie's simulation. The infant is a major Star Trek fan and Patrick Stewart is confirmed to be an actor within the Family Guy universe in Not All Dogs Go To Heaven (Season 7, Episode 11). Stewart and Bullock have the exact same character design, which makes it easy to believe that the Family Guy universe Patrick Stewart portrays Avery Bullock in the series that Stewie has watched.
