    @@peterversionone you gotta love Klaus 🐡🤷🏻‍♀️🤣. What I admire is that he’s the most honest when it comes to just speaking his mind and telling it like it is 😅 he doesn’t care anymore since he knows his life will continue in a bowl. Can you imagine the frustration after being a human, flawed or not. He’s from a different time and a country that indoctrinated him from an early age (eg the sharing episode and coming from the nazi era ), to act this way also. Stan could’ve definitely changed him back a long time ago, but I think he’s frightened of Klaus his brainpower. Remember that episode when he took over the whole town slowly after Francine’s dinner party 🤣🤣🤣🤣. That was a good episode. Only for her and Roger to break the spell after broadcasting what a boring a-hole he actually is. So yeah, gotta admire his skills 🙈🤣🤣🤣❤️

    Well it is implied that he is anti semtic and is a Nazi sympathizer and a Neo Nazi as he defends Nazi Germany and ww2. In addition his grandfather was a train conductor at Auschwitz thus implying that he was probably anti semtic and may have transported countless innocent people possibly as many as hundreds of thousands or even over a million people to the Auschwitz concentration camp where over 1.1 million of them including a million innocent Jewish people were killed thus making him complicit in their deaths. In addition there is a theroy that another one of his relatives may also have patrcpited in the Holocaust. In one episode there was a police officer or detective named Goldberg who was a Holocaust survivor and in a flashback he and his dad were hunted by Nazis one of whom spoke in German and his father was likely killed by the Nazis. There is a theroy that the Nazi who spoke in that flashback and was probably the one who killed Goldbergs father was a relative of Klaus either his father or uncle or great uncle or cousin.

    This video has made me genuinely consider Klaus’ psychology. So I think when he was human he was a decent, intelligent guy, but Elsa’s betrayal + losing the Olympics + losing his body + being forcibly trapped in a fish in a small bowl with limited movement options + being forced to live with a family that ignore/bully/take out their problems on him all greatly degraded his mental health, to the point he's more selfish, miserable, mean, impulsive, stupid, creepy even, all to cope with it. From the therapy episode, we see that on some level, he wants to help and cares about the Smiths by being their therapist and call out Roger for his bad advice. But they still disrespect/ distrust him, leading Klaus to fall back into his rash, bad decisions to get what he wants by spreading all of their personal secrets, only making things worse and leading the Smiths to dispise him more. Dan the Man said Jeff was the most tragic character, but at least Jeff got to live happily with his wife and be positive despite what he went through. With Klaus, he remains stuck in his situation, always doomed to eventually ruin whatever good things come his way from his own stupid decisions, selfishness, and misery. We see the Smiths dislike him time and again even though Roger has consistently done worse things than he's ever done (heck, Roger’s the whole reason Jeff’s story happened in the first place). It's likely because Roger can defend himself and could greatly harm them if he wants, but Klaus is trapped in his frail goldfish body, so he's an easy target. In the end, Klaus is in my opinion the true most tragic character of American dad. He's a prisoner, a victim that was screwed over and wronged, but eventually degraded into his own worst enemy. Teased, bullied, harassed, and though he isn't a good person in the slightest, he ultimately didn't deserve any of this. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

    There are some big differences between Meg and Claus that I don't think some people think about. -Meg started out as kind of a daddy's girl and gradually got written as a punching bag character, where Claus was a piece of shit from the start so him becoming a "punching bag" kind of felt justified. -Meg started out as a minor in the show where Claus started as a full grown man. She's still at the age where she's learning where Claus is way past that. (This was briefly mentioned in the video.) Probably the biggest one- Meg was born into the family who treats her like a punching bag. Claus was not. It's just kind of implied that the Smith family got stuck with him and the CIA knows it so they can't exactly get rid of him. (Besides that one time.) Claus did get the shittiest end of the stick, but the Smiths probably didn't consent to having to take care of him either. -Despite that and being a jackass from the very beginning, he still gets more respect from the family who just kind of got stuck with him than Meg does from the family who brought her into the world.

    10/10 believe that Klaus was swapped from Goldfish to goldfish to keep his brain alive, or that they did the mind swap so often that the CIA has a surplus of goldfish. Bullok or the science division needed a prize for their annual family fun fair so they used the goldfish amd Klaus was accidently put into it. Lets say Hailey wanted a prize and Stan won him. It would make Klaus' introduction into the Smith family both degrading and anti-climatic, par for the course on Klaus' life. We can throw a scene where Stan tried to return him, but Bullok produces an arbitrary contrsct that Stan signed along with his NDA with the CIA that prohibits him from returning prizes back to the CIA. Further degrading his character

    Okay NOW we want to hear your German accent. Speaking of accents, in the German dub Klaus actually had a Saxon accent. Fun fact, there are two Frankfurts in Germany and he couldn't possibly have studied at either city: The Frankfurt that had a university in the eighties is in the west and the one in the east only had one founded in 1991 after 180 years of no uni whatsoever. There's also a popular campfire song that claims the reason there are two Frankfurts is because it's actually just one city but really really really huge.

    Mused and Abused shows that Klaus is his own worse enemy. While it is easy to dismiss and/or bully him he is incredibly entitled and annoying so even when you do treat him better he ultimately ruins it. I see it as a combination of everything kitty said. The smiths originally just dismissed him as a talking fish stan brought home, but the longer he stayed there the more they opened up to him only to realize he’s Klaus once he’s finally welcomed as a member of the family. You can’t give an inch with Klaus because he would take a mile. Look at what happened when steve let him sleep in his room. Stan comes across more as the shows designated lightning rod then Klaus as kitty stated the whole family falling apart when he’s gone was played for comedy when done with Klaus but it is consistedly played for drama with stan. Stan can’t five minutes to read a book without his family killing themselves through sheer stupidity.

    I mean, he's in a fish body. No wonder he's bitter and salty. I kinda thing that's justified why he's like that. He holds a lot of deep hatred over the fact that he's a useless fish now. If you think about it... all the characters from American dad are justified for the way they are. Stan with his possible trauma from his job and his childhood trauma, wanting to be the head of every discussion because he needs to take charge. Also not to mention, but his colegues are also as immature as he is. Possibly for the same reason. Francine trying to be a good mother, but secretly wanting to be her own person. Also the fear of losing her loved ones. Hailey for trying to be the rational one but hides deep insecurites because of her father. Fighting the system but in reality could be an excuse to fight her own father, because he works with the system. Steve for being immature but having his own qualites as being pretty smart. Sometimes even lecturing his own father. But unable to fit his father dreams even if he tries but always being called weak by him. And Roger a literal psychophat addicted to any substance known by man. Maybe his character could be due to his substance abuse. And let me tell ya, if you would have the chance to live among humans for that long as Roger i think you'll be there too. Because he can't die and is ptobably the most fun he has when he's under the influence. Everything becomes predictable and monotone after a while.

    I didn't learn to drive until I was 34, which was after I served in the Army (and central Texas is tough without a car), so 24 is fine. If you do decide to learn, I advise finding an instructor who is accepts you starting at a slow speed, and won't push you to drive at normal speeds until you are ready. My first car was a smart car and it was perfect for getting comfortable with driving. I now have a hybrid corolla (that I just paid off today woohoo), but it took me a while to get comfortable with a car that big. Granted, a car isn't absolutely necessary in North Jersey, but it has its conveniences.

    When a bunch of kids play football regularly, it is fairly often for one kid to never get the ball. Despite them being a decent player, in an open position, etc, the other kids just won't pass it to him for whatever reason. When he does get the ball (once every fourth game if that) he can only hold onto it for 2 seconds before everyone else barrels down on him and he's forced to pass it away. When this happens and he does get the ball, he's learnt to "live fast die young". Either guard it with your life or boot it just cause you finally can. I know this because I was that kid and I see that in Klaus. Whenever Klaus gets the spotlight he has to make the most of it. Klaus has to scoff down every scrap. When he gets a human body he has to indulge it while he can. If he played his cards right & played for the long game, he'd be able to make the best of a bad situation. He'd probably be human again but because of being trapped as a fish & spat on daily, he cannot escape the viscious cycle. It's really dark. I can't blame him for how he is, even if he is mean because the circumstances kind of pushes him towards that.

    Not too much a fan of American Dad’s modern dark humor. Sometimes they go way too far, to the point of being greatly disturbing to horrifying. This earlier clip of Stan dangling Klaus over the shredder to the disposal, dropping him in it, Klaus hanging on for dear life, all the while Stan and Francine make out and the kids come to watch after hearing Klaus’ screams for help and the whole family laughs at Klaus’ misfortune? WAY TOO FUNNY. :)
