Roger The Alien

Roger is the most evil bitchy and shallow gay man I’ve ever seen in my life

R1 Exactly, like I said, the Datalounge personified.

He should be DL's mascot.

I've never seen him before (I don't watch McFarlane's shows). Which cartoon is he on?

My boyfriend and I quote him daily!

The voice (especially in the earlier episodes) was based on Paul Lynde's voice.

It's still there but it's evolved somewhat over time.

For all I know Seth McFarlane could be Muriel, but the fact of the matter is, Lynde pre-dates Datalounge.

I actually hear a lot of the DL comments I read in his voice.

Love Roger, one of the best pansexual characters ever. Should be DL’s patron saint.

Roger is totally Paul Lynde!

Totally agree, OP.

R4 He's on American Dad, which is easily MacFarlane's funniest show. He's a sexually ambiguous alien that lives in a CIA agents attic and spends his days smoking, drinking, eating snack foods and watching Dynasty. That is, when he's not adopting one of his hundreds of fake identities to fuck with the lives of others outside of the house.

Roger is the ultimate EST.

Roger does Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

He's an awesome cartoon character, he's definitely datalounges mascot.

And he is pansexual and not bisexual because?

R15 Yes. At one point he fucks the goldfish. The goldfish tops.

Now that American Dad has moved off of broadcast TV (from Fox to TBS) it has a lot more leeway with language and subject matter. And they're definitely taking advantage of it.

Roger is a brilliant character with endless possibilities.

R12 I give. What's EST?? Eastern Standard Time?

I love Roger. He me if I had the balls the live my life like a true sociopath!

Try that again:

I love Roger. He's me if I had the balls to live my life like a true sociopath!

Bump

“Checking out my pow-pow.”

[quote]How come he isn't a Datalounge icon?

I adore Roger and there have been several threads about him on DL over the years.

R4 I can’t stand Seth, but American Dad is pretty good. Much better than Family Guy.

You can never have too many Roger clips.

Roger as Julia Roberts in "Sleeping with the Enemy" was so unexpected and so hilarious.

I love Roger. I watch the show just for that character.

The "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" parody was genius. My favorite Roger-centric episode is"The One That Got Away," where one of his personas splits off without his knowledge and sets up his own life.

Haha..r13 that is my favorite! Economics!!!! I also love the one where he and Stan accidentally get high lol.

R29 lol at his service rooster, Percy.

r20 really? You must be new. EST = elaborate scenario troll.

American Dad is the only McFarland show I've ever liked and it's because of Roger.

One of my favorites...

you have to understand Family Guy is based on McFarlane's impressions of RI when he went to RISD.

Roger is DL literally

I still wish Seth Macfarlane was gay. He really should be one of us.

R39 have you not heard of the Patrick Stewart rumours??

I liked the one where Roger thought Stan was coming on to him so he got on his bed to the chorus of Toto's "I Won't Hold You Back."

You will not be attending this abortion. The director's an idiot, the lead can barely speak English, and the second lead is 30 pounds overweight P.S. I'm the second lead, and I'm [italic]starving[/italic].

R40, I thought we all agreed that it was Macfarlane who posted that on here? That was such a great thread...

Roger as the Siamese cats from Lady and the Tramp.

R43 I guess I didn't finish the thread lol

Oscar Gold

My favorite has to be when Roger is pissed that Stan didn't get grenadine to make a Roy Rogers, so he makes Stan's life a living hell as Roy Rogers McFreely.

Roger is the gay version of Family Guy's Brian the Dog.

He is Peak Datalounge and should 100% be the DLEG icon

What are the rumours about Patrick Stuart and Seth MacFarlane? I've never heard anything about this before?

This is my favorite Roger scene, and him at his most DLesque. (DLish?)

Roger is my fav character ever. I am disgusted but entertainingly amused by him

Roger is an embarrassment to the gay community. He demeans us.

You don't make an icon out of that.

Next thing you will want to make an icon out of someone who would wear blue jeans on the subway,

I love Roger - but Stewie is really the original. So if one is the DL icon, it’s him.

I like Squidward better.

Holy shit!

R55 omg holy shit

R55 Was one of the best of all time. Roger is THE BEST!

Roger would definitely be a datalounge poster

He understands the importance of a good wig.

LMAO r55.

Loved the Stan on crack episode

One of my favorite Roger moments - channeling Jodie Foster in THE ACCUSED and seeing his life flash before his eyes.

Love Roger, but also love the wimpy Steve character and all his near-gay escapades with his nerdy friends.

I adore the mom Francine...I like the fact they write her as smart and crazy as the other characters. She's not just the dumb wife/mom doormat.

I've always adored American Dad more than Family Guy because it had funnier writing and Roger. And, I think it's also because Seth MacFarlane doesn't run that show like he runs Family Guy. It was the other producers who were the show runners and THEIR sense of humor not MacFarlane's juvenile mean shit and moronic jokes.

....

This one's alot funnier

One more

"Well, suck me off through a hole and call me Rick Steves!"

I love [italic]Family Guy[/italic] but I just cannot get into this show, and I tried.

[quote]What are the rumours about Patrick Stuart and Seth MacFarlane? I've never heard anything about this before?

We had a poster here once who said she was the girlfriend of a drug dealer to the stars and she had tons of tea to spill. The thread was moving really fast, I recall, but when she said Stewart let MacFarlane suck him off once, it crashed to a halt. She broke everyone's brain. It was fun.

My personal theory is that it was Seth MacFarlane himself, thinking he was being high-larious.

Steve and Roger

Roger is a bonafide DL SUPERSTAR 💫

Its the exact opposite for me r69. I have tried but just can't get into Family Guy at all.

I never gave American Dad much of a chance, because I assumed it would be as rubbish as the later Family Guy seasons. But these clips have made me love Roger. I'm going to have to check out the show.

The first few seasons are slow going R74. Season 1 was very much focused on Stan being a right wing nutjob and Hailey being a left wing hippie. Season 2 they start to branch out into some absurd episodes and then by Season 3 is when the show really gets into its groove

Ricky Spanish and Cops & Roger are my favorite episodes. I tried to think of my favorite Roger persona but there are too many, pretty much every one is hilarious.

I like both AD and FG. Both have absolutely brilliant episodes every season. FG less so now but it still delivers. AD is actually better and, as the poster said above, it started really getting great around Season 3.

American Dad’s jokes are much more mature, catty and evilly sophisticated than Family Guy’s. They are aimed at older and more mature viewers

FG is more juvenile but when it hits, it hits hard. AD has Roger which is an almost unfair advantage.

Stan is also really funny and the guy who plays Steve has a great singing voice. AD is one of my favorite animated shows.

R79 They are all well written and often hysterical.

People who like American Dad are the same ones that own Zunes and Betamax.

Give it up, your stuff sucks

R63 I agree, they’re adorable and a riot; in a much gentler less obscene way than Roger but no less importantly. Toshi in particular is hilarious in his oblivious geekery.

I love Stelio Kontos, the greek bully with his own theme song.

R63, this was one of the funniest scenes I ever saw.

For future reference, Roger, there is no Political Science Department at Harvard. They call it Government. One of those little quirks to weed out the imposters.

Ironically, R81 is also posting from '81.

What’s the back-story for why the CIA agent has an obnoxious alien in the attic?

Stan originally harbored Roger as a life debt from when Roger helped Stan when they met when Roger was escaping Area 51. The CIA doesn't know that Stan has Roger.

One of my favorite episodes is when Roger is being abused by a kid.

To expand on R88, this is why Roger is always dressed in some crazy costume - he has to disguise himself so no one knows he's an alien

Roger blowjob jokes. So nasty and vulgar 😱😂

I’m amazed at the breadth & depth of pop-cultural knowledge the AD writer have. Are they simply a team of savant basement dwellers, or are they erudite and choosing to slum it in television comedy?

The show introduced me to the slang melting pearls as in cumming.

Roger does have female manners and behaviors when he’s in drag.

I loved American Dad's parody of frau television.

He could not be more of a DLer:

"As a shut-in, I only have two pleasures: Trash TV and booze."

.......

Squash.

Roger and Ricky Martin

.......

R99 and r100 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
