Arrested Development Thread

She could have my babies. Ya mean?

omfg i was wondering why this thread got bumped

THEYRE GONNA MAKE A MOVIE? OH MY GOD!!!

and lol at george michael holding out. i feel bad for the kid, he will always be george michael in my eye, and to a lot of others too. who the hell is michael cera?

I just bought both seasons monday. I watched it twice on hulu before that.:smokin:

There are 3 seasons

Superbad kind of changed that for me

He was always known as George Michael until Superbad imo

I’m still catching little jokes when I rewatch episodes. I just realized that the name Rita sounds very much like her condition, and somehow I never noticed the “freedom” protester everywhere before.

And I still think Annyong was the worst idea they had. Bad actor and too much of a coincidence at the end. “I liked it better when he just said Annyong” is right.

And then she’ll take an egg and kind of…mmmm! She calls it a ‘mayon-egg.’

Are you okay?

Just had to throw that in there.

Thread necromancy?
First time I am hearing about the documentary, thanks for posting the link. I actually have been actively watching the series again since I recently introduced my girl to it, and like most non-retards, she likes it.

I always forget the third season b/c it’s so short.

you think rita is her name because it sounds like retard? thats pushin it imo

It could be, but they did put a lot of thought into at least some of the names. Lucille/loose seal (although who knows if they had the whole Buster storyline figured out at the beginning), and of course Maebe. Even if it is a coincidence, I’m gonna consider it a joke from now on.

Could just be something they creatively thought about, after the fact.

Like many others in this thread, i was recently referred to this show, and in the past week i have watched the whole season.

My idea of a great TV show was dwarfed by the comedic genius of this show.

one of my favorite moments from the series:

Also let me say, I was smitten with Maebe the whole series. Us being the same age and both being from Socal, and both of us having heritage from the Middle East (she’s half Iraqi), I think i have a 1 in a 500,000,000 chance of hooking up with her. :tup:

I wish they marketed this show better like David Cross said in some link earlier from this thread, I remember when I was a kid seeing this show’s commercials and it never jumped out in anyway.

Had they played one funny short clip, I would have been hooked. I wonder what my life would be like if I had been touched by the comedic genius of AD earlier in life…

Good. You’ll enjoy it (i guarantee it) if you watch it again. Look for jokes by trying to understand the psychology and personality of the character. Tobias has a lot of those. Buster too.

Funny, I watched season 2 and half of season 3 today…now, it’s like my 500th time watching them, but I still die…without a doubt the greatest comedy ever to grace TV…

i’ll belive it when i see it

  • Oh, well, its easy. First you take the frozen banana and you dip it in the…
  • No no no, don’t tell him
  • Dip it the what, DIP IT IN THE WHAT?!

Came here to pay my respects to its awesomeness. Onslaught2000 had told me about it a while ago, and I had scene the first episode air but didn’t think much of it. My girlfriend and I sat down and saw the whole thing on hulu back to back. The show was amazing. Best moments hands down is the Afternoon Delight Kareoke with Maebe and Michael. Wow…just wow.

how good can the movie be with all the background and build up some of the jokes have? I wish the series the best but it’ll definitely be a hard one.

What’s funny is they got Carl Weathers to be on the show because they had made the comments early on about Tobias going to a Carl Weather’s stage fighting class, and he was the one who suggested he play himself, but very cheap…
