American Dad!

American Dad! is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker, and Matt Weitzman for the Fox Broadcasting Company. American Dad! is the first television series to have its inception onAnimation Domination. The series premiere aired on February 6, 2005, following Super Bowl XXXIX, three months before the rest of the first season aired as part of the Animation Domination block, commencing on May 1, 2005. Unlike its sister shows, Family Guy and The Cleveland Show, American Dad! does not lean as heavily on the use of cutaway gags, and is less concerned with conventional "setup-punchline" jokes, instead deriving its humor mostly from the quirky characters, the relationships between family members, and the relatively relatable plots.

Haylias (Season 3, Episode 5)

Hayley decides to move to France to live the life of a bohemian. Stan, who wants Hayley to get married and live a boring life as a housewife and mother, recalls an old CIA program that brainwashed Hayley to serve as part of a father-daughter secret agent team. Stan uses Hayley's trigger phrase ("I'm getting fed up with this orgasm!") to put her under his control, and orders her to marry a Senator's son, knowing that if he says the phrase again before the week is out she will snap out of it and assume the marriage was her idea. Unfortuantely, Stan misses the deadline for using the trigger again, making her brainwashing permanent. Only then does Stan find out that not saying the phrase in time causes the brainwashed agents to kill their handler- in this case, Stan!
