Review: American Dad! “Hayley Smith, Seal Team 6” (S13Ep3)

New episode of American Dad! tonight, and it was a mixed bag. “Hayley Smith, Seal Team Six” was a strange mix of a Hayley-heavy episode and a full-family episode, with Dr. Penguin, Jeff, and even Klaus and Steve involved with the plot.

The episode started pretty funny, with the Smiths trying to leave the house quietly before Hayley realized they were trying to sneak to the local cheesecake restaurant without her– because she has resting bitch face. Then, Steve and friends get a slow cooker (an annoying modern fad), as Hayley is hypnotized back to being six.

Some funny and unfunny moments later (Klaus and Jeff doing their own version of Wheels and the Legman is pretty stellar) — Jeff has to figure out how Hayley lost her smile. Some very creepy moments with Hayley’s former classmate, and kind of a lackluster ending without many laughs near the end of the episode made it feel a little thrown together.

However, there’s laughs here and there if you look for em.
