American Dad! "Dumbston Checks In"

American Dad! "Dumbston Checks In" season 20, episode 10 (21 June 2026).[1][2][3][4]

Episode title alludes to Dunston Checks In, q.v.[5]

See for shots of Steve and friends in a NASA spacecraft (like Space Shuttle Discovery (OV-103),[6] though one with artificial gravity) heading out to stop a meteorite with a volcano on it from hitting and destroying Earth. The spacecraft can transform (Transformer-style) into a giant warrior-baseball player with a bat that can be and is used to bat away the killer meteorite (with vulcano).[7]

Tropes usually handled with great earnestness — the destruction of Earth and all life on it — are handled here for laughs in gentle parody.
