    Another change they did with the unaired pilot that you forgot to mention was Steve's response when Hayley made fun of him not going through puberty. In the unaired pilot, he starts to whine. In the new version, he responds with, "Why? You wanna do it with me? You're sick"
    Makes the delivery much funnier knowing how much Steve has changed.

      @@thehuckleberry8349 Characters in cartoons can have depth. Muti dimensional means that the characters have more the one trait and feel like real people. Like How Stan tries to do what he thinks is right but goes about it in the wrong way. He is a well-meaning psychopath. Stan has Daddy issues because it was just him and his mom when he was growing up. Stan used to be a geek but he got really buff. Or how Hayley used to be Happy Hayley until she saw a Seal beat to death on tv. Hayley is basically Stan but a liberal. I would argue the family guy cast has some depth too. Peter bullies Meg because his sister bullied him. Not as complex as the Simpsons characters but there is some depth.

      Klaus and Meg are only very rarely a part of the overall plot in any given episode. But, they do set the tone for what happens on the peripheral and that is what a lot of the audience pays the most attention to. That's what makes both of them so relatable.

    American Dad set itself up for success. Family Guy is dry because of it's lack of character development and lack of characters in general. But American Dad has Roger which basically grants them infinite characters plus the continuity is much better. Only flaw I caught on to American Dad is that in season 1 Roger discovers he can wear disguises to go out in public. He discovers this in season ONE but through out the series we see Roger being in a part of history while in disguise. So how did he do that when he barely realized he could dress up in season 1.
    Other than that American Dad is the best animated series in Human history

      American Dad really dives into the characters and the stories that lend a lot of comedy and funny moments.

    I absolutely love American Dad. Steve as a character really speaks to me because I see a lot of myself in that character. Not only do we share a name, but our teenage years were very similar. The rest of the family mirrors my own too, and I think that's the main reason I love this show so much. Not only is it clever, silly, and entertaining, it also reminds me of growing up. Steve is only not my favorite character because Roger is my all time favorite animated character. The two of them really work best together though, like in the R&B video you mentioned as well as the classic Wheels and the Legman.

    The old character model of Steve Smith looks like an alien, like the average everyday nerd doesn't look like that we actually have a good looking body from a certain point of view.

    Steve’s original design doesn’t really fit with the art style of everything else. Honestly pretty glad they changed it.

    One thing I liked more in the pilot than the show was Roger’s animation…they gave him a lot of expression in the pilot and it was actually really cool

  • @schvyler
    @schvyler 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Dude. The lowkey R&B arc with Steve is comedy gold. Regular viewers catch on without it being explicitly addressed and it’s funnier that way.

  • @ccricers
    @ccricers 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Steves’s face in the current cartoon looks also more squared out, in part by the different glasses. Not extremely squared, but enough to look less dorky. I know too well how even just the style of glasses frames is enough change not only a face’s perceived profile but perceived personality. Different frames lend a different kind of energy.

    Honestly, I’m glad they redesigned and recasted him immediately after, because I also wouldn’t have liked Steve as much if they kept the original.

    @Wardog01Actual 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Damn, I'm SO glad they made every change they decided on to Steve! Including Scott in the vocal booth! I don't think I could have taken him OR the show as originally presented. Good call, Seth. You saved yourself!

    American Dad is one of my favorite animated shows

  • @RM-mw2xr
    @RM-mw2xr 2 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    The key difference between American Dad and Family Guy is that American Dad is actually funny and lacks those lame cutaways

    • @SamanthaJonesSATC
      @SamanthaJonesSATC 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Precisely. American Dad actually has more story and relevant jokes.

    • @philippebien5429
      @philippebien5429 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They give much better complete storylines for the faithful fans. Now we know how and why Roger can speed up time through a hilarious episode where he played Genny, Steve's fake cousin who dated Snot lol. It makes it 10000% more funny knowing the truth when Roger does something in a flash, knowing all he did was speed up time to be an asshole... Also they covered why Roger likes to burn Klaus so much. It's because he makes high quality paintings of Klaus's emotions and sells them meaning he set a market for this since like season 2 lol. Everything in American Dad comes to a full circle expect why Steve can be geeky in one episode and Mr Cool who can talk to girls in another episode.

  • @retrochristmas7329

    I can see why they made steve like that one of the most popular shows of the time was the big bang theory so they pretty much cut and pasted the needs from that show.

  • @maemae527

    steve is one of my favorite characters and one of main reasons i enjoy the show so much.. it wouldve been so different with his original design and there probably wouldnt be ay appeal for him to have his own episodes like he does now. im glad they made the change

  • @nrrork
    @nrrork ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yeah, Steve works better with the whole adorkable thing they settled on.
    He became a lot like Bobby Hill: dorky and weird, but it comes off as cute and endearing.
