Arrested Development 12/12

Thank you God, for this show that you have blessed us with. When the televison womb was as barren as the Antarctic desert, You, in your might and wisdom, have bestowed upon us as how that can mix weapons of mass destruction with balls. The jokes overfloweth.

“Ann - Not pictured.”

“Those are my balls”

The “coarse language” that they kept warning us about—was that about Maeby saying “penis”? If so, og help us.

Anyway, great episode. George wearing Michael’s dead wife’s maternity clothes, “Does anyone want a hot Ding Dong?” Anne’s nickname in the yearbook listed as “Egg”, Tobias still has bits of blue makeup on.

The best exchange:

“It’s not a competitive sport”
“It’s called scoring”
“Maybe in the 70’s”
“That High?”

LOL! That low key humor, which you could miss if not paying attention, is what I love about this show!

And the lawyer leaving the foil on the ding dong was great as well! “I’m more compitent than you think” :wink:

“It’s a shemale.”

“It’s gorgeous.”

Every time I’m about to watch this show, I actually get nervous, thinking that this time it surely must fall as so many other shows have fallen. I must get the DVDs.

Loved the blue handprints on the walls of model home.

The offending word was probably “balls.”

Again, there was so much to enjoy.

(paraphrased)
“That’s a brest pump”
“Not what I was using it for”

Or something like that ;).

Notice also that next to Ann’s name, and under her picture, it said “(not pictured).” Poor Ann!

Guess who didn’t read the OP.

The offending word was almost certainly “homo”.

Oh man, that reminded me of the whole “You’ll like it better next time when you don’t get punched” by GOB… that was great!

My favourite subtle scene was GM going to open the fridge door and then realising he got blue paint on his fingers. I found this episode to be solid but not as many laugh out loud moments as the previous few. Shemale was excellent though.

When did Tobias grow out of his nevernudeness? I don’t remember that happening.

Another neat little joke: The ringer on GOB’s phone? The Final Countdown.

The people most likely to be offended by a word on TV would not be bothered with “homo.” :frowning:

  • What about the scene where the prosecutor (read the patriot act!) gives Gob a few minutes to think it over. When he returns, it appears that Gob is performing an act of auto-erotic asphyxiation. HA!

  • Tobias’s ball. “I’m on television!” I love that Henry Winkler is the one who saw that.

  • Didn’t you love that the gay soldier was Winkler’s former gay assistant?

  • “Not pictured” was the highlight of the show!

  • Ron Howard’s narration of whether Tobias deserved the phone. “He did not.”

Uh, I believe he was trying to kill himself, not get himself off.

Senior quotes from the 19-year old Maebe likes:
“I’m outta here!”
“See ya later!”
“Study hard - trust me.”

I know he was, but when they opened the door, he had his belt around his neck and his pants around his ankles.

So even though he was going for the suicide, I think it was supposed to appear to the prosecutors that he was going for the wack.

On second thought, you have a point. But why would he have his pants around his ankles when he usually wears stripper pants*?

*Shameless plug.

Maybe on that day the stripper pants were in the laundry ;).
