Watch American Dad Season 1 Episode 17 Rough Trade Online
When Roger accidentally breaks his TV, he pesters Stan to buy him a replacement. Stan refuses, and things go from bad to worse: his CIA demonstration goes horribly wrong, he becomes drunk in a bar, and when Roger picks him up they get into an accident, resulting in Stan receiving a DUI and being placed under house arrest. Back home, Stan and Roger get into a fight where they agree to switch places. Roger gets a job as a car salesman, while Stan stays at home and gets drunk.
The novelty of the switch wears off when Roger faces increased pressure at work and his advice to Hayley (she could keep monkeys, which her activist group set free from an animal testing lab, in the house) and Steve (giving nearly nude photos of himself to a girl he’s chasing) comes back to haunt him. He also accidentally gives Francine a black eye, causing the neighbors to call the cops. After the cops find the photos of Steve, discover the monkeys, overhear Stan threatening to kill Roger, and see Francine with another black eye (which she actually got when she tripped on a mop and hit a door), they arrest Stan and hold him without bail for domestic violence, child pornography, animal cruelty and attempted murder. Roger meanwhile loses his job when his assistant, Philip, puts his sales number on Roger’s reports, making it look like Roger didn’t sell any cars.
