Any Other Arrested Development Junkies?

Greatest single piece of writing in the history of television entertainment.

At one point in my life I considered it absolute blasphemy of the highest order to consider any show better than the Simpsons. It took me a long to time to finally admit it, but after watching every AD episode multiple times its a conclusion that I can no longer escape.

Arrested Development is not a show, it is a way of life. I can't think of a single line that isnt a GREAT quote.

Wife Of Gob: I'm in love with your brother-in-law.

Gob: You're in love with your own brother? The one in the army?

Wife Of Gob: No, your sister's husband.

Gob: Michael? Michael!

Wife Of Gob: No, that's your sister's brother.

Gob: No, I'm my sister's brother. You're in love with me - me.

Wife Of Gob: I'm in love with Tobias.

Gob: My brother-in-law?

Lets turn this into a quotes thread:

"Michael: Is this about the money?
Gob: No.
Michael: What do you want?
Gob: I mean, it's not about money in the sense that I'm coming here saying, "Here, Michael. Take some money." It's just more of a "may I have some" kind of visit."

Michael: I really think the reason you and I always fight is that, since we were little, Dad's always played us off each other.

Gob: Dad always said that was your fault.

I was just going to say that.

Tobias inspired me not only to make my own pair of cut-offs (which I'll post pics of soon if you like), but he also moved me to grow up to be an analrapist.

Tobias is a goldmine of double-entendre(?) quotes:

(While covered in blue paint, a la The Blue Man Group): "I'm afraid I just blue myself."

"Well, yes, but I'm afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will, so now I'm afraid I have something of a mess on my hands."

"I suppose I'm, uh ... buy-curious."

"I wouldn't mind kissing that man between the cheeks."

"I'll be your wingman. Even it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up."

"Well, Michael, you really are quite the Cupid, aren't you? I tell you, you can zing your arrow into my buttocks any time."

"No, no, no, no. I was scared too, but I realized it was of being a leading man. Oh, I can just taste those meaty leading man parts in my mouth."

...wow...I love David Cross.

Tobias Funke, Analrapist indeed.

Tobias: Well, I've always wanted to remake Annie Hall. Except, I wouldn't want to get in bed with a green director like a Sofia Coppola, though. Oh, but give me an old pro like a Robert Redford. Oh, I'd jump into bed with him in a second. And I wouldn't just lie there, Michael Bluth, if that's what you're thinking.

Michael: Actually, that is what I was thinking that time.

LOL, I clicked on the link to this thread thinking it was about the band...

Here, have a dollar,
in fact no brotherman here, have two
Two dollars means a snack for me,
but it means a big deal to you
Be strong, serve God only,
know that if you do, beautiful heaven awaits
That's the poem I wrote for the first time
I saw a man with no clothes, no money, no plate
Mr.Wendal, that's his name,
no one ever knew his name cause he's a no-one
Never thought twice about spending on a ol' bum,
until I had the chance to really get to know one
Now that I know him, to give him money isn't charity
He gives me some knowledge, I buy him some shoes
And to think blacks spend all that money on big colleges,
still most of y'all come out confused

[CHORUS:]
Go ahead, Mr.Wendal (2x)

Mr.Wendal has freedom,
a free that you and I think is dumb
Free to be without the worries of a quick to diss society
for Mr.Wendal's a bum
His only worries are sickness
and an occasional harassment by the police and their chase
Uncivilized we call him,
but I just saw him eat off the food we waste
Civilization, are we really civilized, yes or no ?
Who are we to judge ?
When thousands of innocent men could be brutally enslaved
and killed over a racist grudge
Mr.Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways
but we don't hear him talk
Is it his fault when we've gone too far,
and we got too far, cause on him we walk
Mr.Wendal, a man, a human in flesh,
but not by law
I feed you dignity to stand with pride,
realize that all in all you stand tall

[CHORUS]

Mr.Wendal, Lord, Mr.Wendal

Marta: It doesn’t matter. We live by our code, you and I, to honor family.

Michael: Yes, that’s one of the things that attracted me to you—your sense of right and wrong.

Michael: I also like your hair and your face and your breasts.

Marta: You sound like your brother.

Michael: Oh, thank you.

Marta: G.O.B. is like the **** of the walk, but not you. You are so kind. You’re sensitive, like a woman.

Michael: That’s enough.

Arrested Development is not a show. It is a secret tribe of media-junkies who speak their own cryptic language. They identify each other through secret signs such as "Angong" and "Her?". When confronted by outsiders they immediately stop their conversation noting that it is "for british eyes only". On occasion they have been seen clucking at each other like spastic chickens. In a bar they try to appear powerful to their women by noting that they "don't need the calories" of another drink. When happy, they hug one another while chanting "taste the happy, michael". And every once in a while they sing afternoon delight for no particular reason.


They are an odd tribe to be sure.


And I am one of them.
