In the animated cartoon series, American Dad there is a character named Roger, who is a space alien
resembling a grey (alien with grey skin and enlarged head) and the body like
that of the alien in the E.T. movie. He is wacky, crude, devious, and often misleads
and finagles others to achieve his desires.
Roger also lacks all sense
of social norms, social acceptability, and lawful behavior. He's often seen behaving in ways that are
depraved and cruel. His depravity and
cruelty are often delivered in combination with his typically lighthearted and
carefree temperament. This can be
seen in the episode: “Tears of Clooney,”
where Roger adopts foster children to use as slave labor for his own private
vineyard. These characteristics are also
demonstrated in the episode: “Moon over
Isla Island,” where he becomes dictator of a fictional island nation and
demands extravagant services from the populous such as painting the island
yellow.
Aside from these characteristics, Roger also has habits such
as being very self-indulgent, drinking alcohol in excess, using recreational
drugs (tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, steroids, LSD, MDMA, and a
variety of other illegal substances), eating junk food, and watching soap
operas. He also has the ability to excrete
waste in the form of gold with encrusted jewels and float in water even when
held down with weight. Roger also
possesses skills that include the ability to speak multiple languages, planning
large-scale events, and move at lightning speed.
With all of these characteristics put into consideration as
well as watching him in the show itself, Roger the alien is the funniest
character in the show, American Dad in
my opinion. These characteristics and
habits are obviously unfavorable in a real person, but when put inside a
fictional cartoon character, they can be seen as very humorous, especially in
crude and inappropriate comedy.
