Maybe I’ll put it in her brownie. ---

You beat me to it. I was going to actually start a thread with that as the title. 🙂 ---

Best. Episode. Yet. Who knew ‘Afternoon Delight’ was so dirty? I can’t beleive a show this good actually exists. ---

I’ve never laughed harder than I did with the brownie comment. The quality of AD is so far beyond anything else on television that I feel I should be paying to watch. ---

The way the jokes go for the whole episode are amazing. The fact that Buster was able to use his newfound skills to pull Gob out of the banana booth was comedic gold. Whoever made the pact with the devil to keep this show on Fox - bless your damned soul. ---

GOB’s sexual harrassment speech was awesome, and set up one of the funniest throw-away lines in the ep. GOB: And if any of you hit on my sister, I’m gonna drop my pants, shave my _beep_ and _beeeeeeeep!_ Then after he’s fired everyone: Michael: Where are you going? Random guy: We don’t work here anymore. Is your sister still around? ---

I almost forgot the scene with Ann (Yam) 's family! “The word George Michael was looking for… was _creepy_.” Ann’s singing was fantastic… I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from until I saw that her mouth was making those noises. Also, did anybody notice that Michael actually got her name right later on in the show? ---

When Gob dropped the bottom of the banana costume on the ground, I knew someone was going to slip on it. I just didn’t expect it to be Lucille’s car. ---

> [@Happy Lendervedder](#): > > GOB: And if any of you hit on my sister, I’m gonna drop my pants, shave my _beep_ and _beeeeeeeep!_ I wonder if the website will have the uncensored version. They did with Buster’s big long swearfest when Michael told him he was going to be eating his dust. I can’t check it right now because my computer is shitty. I’m dying to see that though. ---

Lucille: First I’m going to blow him, then I’m going to poke him! Best. Show. EVER. ---

“Michael, I was almost attacked last night, in my own home! I walk in, and there’s a colored man in my kitchen!” “Color? What color was he, exactly?” “Blue.” Hands down, best ep. of the season. ---

If this show was on HBO, it would be on the covers of every newsweekly in the country. _Brownie_. Heh heh heh. ---

What’s really clever is that they set up that horn thing _last week_ for a quick joke, and then used it even more this week. ---

“What about this one? She’s got think arms.” ---

“Thick arms.” And notice how Maeby hid her arms after the comment. I also loved the flashback to the old Christmas party: “George probably has his hand in the Kitty.” 😃 The episode was probably the best so far, and that’s saying a lot. The show is so dense with jokes and sexual innuendo that it’s impossible to keep up. ---

> [@h.sapiens](#): > > When Gob dropped the bottom of the banana costume on the ground, I knew someone was going to slip on it. I just didn’t expect it to be Lucille’s car. This episode of _Arrested Development_ reminded me of _Seinfeld_ in the way it joined several plot threads in the climax. Oh, and the way Gob kept inflating the cost of his suit was amusing.
