89 free American Dad trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
40 free American Dad trivia questions with answers. American Dad! has outlasted almost every animated sitcom that launched alongside it, and this quiz covers the whole run: the Smiths of Langley Falls, Roger's hundreds of personas and his golden excrement, Klaus the East German ski-jumper trapped in a goldfish, Steve's friends, Patrick Stewart's Bullock, and the show's odd path from a post-Super Bowl pilot on Fox to TBS and back to Fox. Easy questions are for anyone who knows Stan works for the CIA. The hard ones ask what Hayley's middle name is, who does Barry's evil voice, which comedian Roger's voice is based on, why the '300th' episode wasn't, and what Roger was really sent to Earth as in 1947. Good for a group of fans or an animation round in a pub quiz. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the series and its characters, and each question carries its source.
