Background

This is the vanity card of Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman, the creators of American Dad!.

(February 6, 2005- )


Nicknames: "Security Officer Peña", "The Many Faces of Security Officer Peña"

Logo: We see a police officer with black hair standing in front of what appears to be an animation studio (It may be the office block that Fuzzy Door Productions, another one of MacFarlane's studios, is located). The man then waves and gives a thumbs up while saying "Bye, have a great time!" in a heavy foreign accent. The words "UNDERDOG PRODUCTIONS" are shown below.

Trivia: The man in the video is Security Officer Peña, a Venezuelan immigrant who was a security guard at the studio where Family Guy and American Dad! was produced. If you look carefully, you can see that Peña is wearing a necktie with a leopard print on it, most likely a reference to Seth MacFarlane's other production company, Fuzzy Door Productions.

Variants: Depending on the episode, Peña may say a different line.

  • "Bye, have a beautiful time!" (this line was also spoken by a character in the American Dad! episode, "Toy Wh*rey").
  • "Bye, have a great time!"
  • "Buh-bye, see you soon!"
  • "Have a great night!" (he simply gives a thumbs up in this variant).

Other Variants:

  • On rare occasions on airings of American Dad! on TBS (split-screen credits only), the logo is sped up, as well as the 20th Television logo.
  • Beginning with Season 12, Episode 10 of American Dad!, the text is now in a thinner font.

FX/SFX: It's all live-action.

Music/Sounds: Just Peña's voice.

Music/Sounds Variants: On the American Dad! episode "In Country...Club", Peña's voice echoes, tying in with the theme of the episode's credits.

Availability: Seen only on American Dad!.

Editor's Note: This a humorous logo, and is a favorite amongst fans of American Dad! and Seth MacFarlane's works in general. It is also worth noting that this logo continues to use a standard definition version even though most media moved onto high definition.
