The Good AD (Arrested Development Appreciation Thread)

[The Filth Wizard]

Guys,

I know there are a few big Arrested Development fans out there... thought we could put in some of our favourite quotes and clips.

To me, this is the greatest show the US has ever produced. I even named my two cats Gob and Tobias, and by twist of irony, Tobias turned out to be a girl. Kept the name though

Here be some quotes:

Lucille: Here’s some money. Go see a Star War

Maeby: Do you guys know where I could get one of those gold necklaces with the ‘T’ on it? Michael: That’s a cross. Maeby: Across from where?
Gob: Franklin said some things Whitey wasn’t ready to hear. Michael: Gob, weren’t you also mercilessly beaten outside of a club in Torrance for that act? Gob: He also said some things that African-American-y wasn’t ready to hear either.

Narrator: Tobias listens to a day's worth of his own words, to see what Michael was referring to... Tobias F*nke: [on tape] ... even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up. Tobias F*nke: Nothing wrong with that. Tobias F*nke: [on tape] Oh, I've been in the film business for a while, but I just can't seem to get one in the can. Tobias F*nke: It's out of context. Tobias F*nke: [on tape] I wouldn't mind kissing that man between the cheeks, so to speak. Narrator: ...and he realized there is something distinct about the way he speaks. Tobias F*nke: Tobias, you blowhard!

Michael: Gob i dont want your tricks today.
Gob: A trick is a woman you pick up on the street Michael. I perform ILLUSIONS (cue fire burning hand)

This one always gets me...

Gob: Graft-Vs-Host. When you hear about it, it sounds like a match up between tennis great Steffi Graf and "Happy Days" star Donny Host.
Narrator: It's MOST.

Gob's Wife: "I'm in love with your brother in law!"
Gob: "You're in love with your own brother?"
Gob's Wife: "No your sister's Husband!"
Gob: "Michael?"
Gob's Wife: "No he's your sister's brother!"
Gob: "I'm my sister's brother, that means your in love with me!"
Gob's Wife: "No, I'm in love with Tobias!"
Gob: "My brother in Law?"
Gob's Wife: "Yes, but I no it can never be, so i'm leaving to join the army"
Gob: "To be with your brother ..."

Gets me every time

Barry Zuckercorn... probably one of about 50 characters that could easily carry their own spin-off. And a very clever in joke, replacing the Henry Winkler portrayed Zuckercorn for the Scott Baio portrayed Bob Loblaw

Caught some of the marathon, but also at work at the moment (in fact from last week until X-Mas) it is dead as so I've been spending the whole time watching my AD DVDs. Took a break today though for the fine double bill, Hot Fuzz followed by Taladega Nights
