A really goofy episode, but this is the kind of thing American Dad was built on. Funny, but not a classic by any stretch.

Scott Pippen saved this episode

Having Scottie Pippen guest star was what kept this episode from a lower rating. The setup to this episode felt a little forced. It's always off putting when the family is all super stoked about something really weird and random like grave plots. I know the writers were trying to be weird and random but it's all just so out of character. They basically just needed a setup so Stan could reach his emotional turmoil and the main story could begin, but it just falls flat. Like they were trying too hard ti be random and weird. Thankfully, "world famous author" Scottie Pippen appears as himself, which just cracks me up. I love that they not only got Pippen to voice himself but they made him such a delightful weirdo.
I guess that's why they called his the Admiral.

One of the funny ones.

This episode is so random. In a good way. I wonder if Scottie Pippen was the first choice or how he came about as an idea in the writers room. I like to think he accepted with the same readiness he had in the episode when he is approached by Hayley at his book signing.
Pippen is a surprisingly good voice actor- some of his line deliveries had me in tears of laughter, especially his heartfelt "yeah- eat sh**, sad guy!" Having him be obsessed with being a best selling novelist as opposed to basketball star also tickled me.
They should have Pippen return as a side/recurring character. Out of the blue, yes, but so was his appearance in the first place.
