A very simple Stan storyline here, but a good one for sure. Funny and action in there at the end too.

I hardly EVER whip out that 10-rating!

Remember when I said Family Guy and American Dad STILL manage to come up with 3 to 4 excellent episodes every season? Oh, dumb question of me. Of course you do, because you definitely read all my reviews and took careful notice it was me writing them.... Well this surely is one of them!
We all know Stan is tough and judgemental on the outside, but o so buttery soft and sweet on the inside and... well, pretty delusional at times. Well on the delusional side: this time Stan goes so far off the deep end, I found myself actually worrying about him a couple of times! Also Klaus traps himself into biting off a bit more than he can chew...
It deserves some admiration to still be able to come up with episodes of this quality after so many full seasons. I'm telling you, to me, this episode was so jam-packed with those small and silly, but so funny and surprising jokes we love, that at some point I was like: "Guys slow down! Please save some juice for the remaining 20 episodes!" Hence that very rare 10.
It really should be a criminal offense for an adult man like me to enjoy a cartoon as much as I just did this one.

Great episode - completely off the rails with Stan and his Russian Doll.
Look for:
1. Stan going completely wacky for the doll he is supposed to deliver to the little girl in Russia. Really, really, weird.
2. The reference to American Girl Place and Stan buying all the different dolls to "help" him when he goes to Russia.
3. Sidebar on Klaus doing the taxes for the various Roger personas.
Love the episode!!!!
