Blogs : Yes, I'm Protesting Math : Done with Arrested Development

by bosoxx34

And now i need a new TV show to watch, feel free to throw out any suggestions. I thought AD was outstanding, here are some of my favorite quotes. Feel free to add your own.

Tobias Fünke: [as Mrs. Featherbottom] O-kay, who’d like a banger in the mouth?
[laughs]
Tobias Fünke: Right, I forgot, here in the States, you call it a sausage in the mouth.
Michael: We just call it a sausage.

Lindsay Funke: [to Michael] GOB doesnt do anything for the family.
Gob: Hey, I’m fucking Lucille 2.
Lindsay Funke: Or I could do something like that.

Tobias Fünke: [while at a western-themed resort] Michael, you are not quite the ladies man I had pictured. Hopefully, we will remedy that when we are in the spa spreading body chocolate on each other.

Tobias Fünke: Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over – an analyst and a therapist. The world’s first analrapist.

Tobias Fünke: No, no, it’s pronounced a-nal-ra-pist.
Buster: It wasn’t really the pronunciation that bothered me.

Gob: [in the break room] The worst that could happen is that I could spill coffee all over this $3,000 suit. Come on.
[in the elevator]
Gob: Yeah, the guy wearing the $4,000 suit is holding the elevator for the guy who doesn’t make that in four months. Come on.
[in the bathroom]
Gob: Yeah, like I’m going to take a whiz through this $5,000 suit. Come o

Gob: [Gob’s wife has served him divorce papers] And now she’s stomping on my heart.
Michael Bluth: What’s her first name? Quickly.
Gob: [flustered] Crindee.
Michael Bluth: Name’s not Crindee, Gob.
Gob: [Reads papers] Ah, Saul Zetzmann. Nope. That’s her lawyer. Well, she’s GOT a name. And I’m gonna find out what it is. And I’m gonna make a pun on it. And that’s what I’ll call her. Bad example: if her name’s Amy, I’ll call her “Blame-y.”
Michael Bluth: That’s a strong defense.

Buster: Mom is becoming a little controlling.
Michael: What tipped you off? When she locked you out on the balcony again?
Buster: That was half my fault. I thought I saw a Graham Cracker out there.
Michael: You baited the balcony?
Lucille Bluth: Prove it.

Lindsay Funke: Did you enjoy your meal, Mom? You drank it fast enough.
Lucille: Not as much as you enjoyed yours. You want the belt to buckle, not your chair.
[server sets a dessert of Bananas Foster on fire]
Lucille: You might want to let that fire go out before you stick your face in it.
Lindsay Funke: That’s funny, ‘cause I was gonna say "You might wanna lean away from that fire since you’re soaked in alcohol."

Tobias Fünke: Do you see me more as the respected dramatic actor or more of the beloved comic actor?
Carl Weathers: Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going.

[after watching Rita walk across the pool]
Michael: Gob, was that your trick?
Gob: No, Michael, that’s not my trick.
Narrator: On the next Arrested Development:
Gob: [shouts] It’s my illusion.

Michael: . Get rid of the Seaward.
Lucille: I’ll leave when I’m good and ready.

J. Walter Weatherman: And that’s why you always leave a note.

And some random thoughts:

4 months 		Wayne Jarvis: We believe this is where they stored the WMDs and that your father built on this land to hide them. Michael: Are you serious? Wayne Jarvis: Almost always. I was once voted the worst audience participant Cirque du Soleil ever had. Michael: ...That's quite an accusation. Wayne Jarvis: Well Michael I did not find their buffoonery amusing. Michael: I meant about my father. Wayne Jarvis: He's guilty! George Michael: I have pop pop in the attic. Michael: The mere fact that you call making love pop pop shows you're not ready! Michael: Tell Gob I've got a nice hard cot with his name on it. Lucille: You would do that to your own brother? Michael: I said COT.

4 months 		Will Arnett has a recurring role on 30 Rock, a show which you should watch if you don't already.

4 months 		The first few seasons of The Office are brilliant. And now, Parks & Recreation (by the same creators) is my favourite comedy currently on. Also, Community is pretty good.

4 months 		I just ordered 30 rock seasons 1-3. and Schweig, even though it isn't separated, solid choices. I've always stayed away from the office for some reason, maybe after 30 rock.

4 months 		I love CYE, I don't think there is any other show that makes me actually laugh out loud as much. It also gets better each season, the second last episode of season 7 has to be one of the best of all time.

4 months 		I'm a big CYE fan at all. My favorite from this past season was actually The Black Swan. "Hey asshole, you're talking way too loud in the dining room"

4 months 		United States of Tara is actually a great show. The 2nd season is about to start on Showtime.

4 months 		Yeah I stayed away from the Office until about a year ago, for no real reason either. I think maybe it's because of its "remake of a British show" status which usually means the same as poor. However, the Office is definitely an exception to that rule, has really sharp writing and talented cast and, most importantly, does very well in distinguishing itself from the original that it exists as a great comedy in its own right.
