“You and Gob remind me of the Biblical couple: Goofus and, uh, Gallant.”
Frackin’ hilarious.
“Is that’s what’s gonna happen to my hair?”
“Shouldn’t you be in school?”
Maebe: “>>Marry Me!.. what?”
and Buster caught in bed with the carpet sweeper robot…
“What do you expect?! I’m half machiiiine!”
Oh yeah! It’s my favorite thread of the week.
The reason Will Arnet is a genius for this week is how he always seems to be sort of staring at the wall because he has some kind of hyper activity disorder that prevents him from ever listening to the person he’s talking to. So any time anyone else is talking, he’s always looking at the cabinet or the wall or just nothing and sort of smiling. He’s the worst listener ever. “That one get’s pregnant, she stays pregnant. I had a girl like that in highschool. No I didn’t.”
“I like the way it shapes my junk.”
“Fine, I’ll dust Buster.”
I got a bit worried about George Michael’s self esteem though.
Hey, was Gob’s plant in the office the guy who does the Ditech commercials?
Eww.
“He look like a chick I did once in High School”
Ha!
I didn’t get the marry me joke. ??
GREAT episode. I felt bad for Buster, and then for George-Michael, but GOB was terrific even by his usual standards.
Maeby keeps saying that to people at the movie studio. Like ‘you look too young to work here.’ “Marry me!”
And the coup de grace… this means that all this time, Maeby has been attracted to her cousin.
The Star Wars Kid jokes were kinda dated, but I was very happy to hear “I’ve made a huge mistake” again.
“He’s just like a young you.”
I love how this show leaves little hints like that and I love Europe’s Final Countdown as GOB’s theme.
I don’t know if I can win a race against myself.
But if anybody can, I’m just the guy to do it.
If only I were 15 years younger…
Freaking hilarious.
I loved Tobias as “Mrs. Featherbottom”. Especially when Maeby started calling him “Mr. Fingerbottom”.
They need to start doing something interesting with George Sr. now, though.
I didn’t think of that. Simply brilliant. I hope that turns out to be real in the story line, and not a throw-away.
“Four More Years! Four More Years!”
It just sort of struck me. I don’t know why. I think it’s very funny that GOB has this idiot kid out there. Incidentally, anybody remember him goading Buster over the wall at Army early this season by saying something about “Are you gonna let your children… and any children I might have out there… live in fear? Climb that wall, you homo.”
“I’m a Monnnster!!”
Best lines in the show. I was literally on my back laughing.
Gob did say something like that, though it wasn’t quite as funny as when he punched Buster on the way down. “There, now think how much more fun it’ll be next time when you don’t get punched”, or something to that effect.
Yeah, it was him. I was hoping that they were going to reveal that he was actually “playing himself” and work in the fact that his main gig is the Ditech commercials, but alas, they let that storyline drop.
Loved the “VIRGIN” poster. Poor George Michael, I wonder if the show is going to have a payoff, reward him for all the beatdown he has been taking. Ann looked a bit more fetching this week; I wonder if they are going to have her blossom. She’s not as intensely homely as they make her out to be. Cutting the bangs will go a long way.
GOB: “Yeah I’m all for sacrificing the VIRGIN thing.”
Tobias was Mrs. Featherbottom from Blackstool. (eww) When he was pleading with Maeby to tell him about her father he used “she” to describe the father. I need to go back and get the lines of the songs he was singing.
Tobias was on the set of Wrench, who is played by Rob Corddry (Senior Mid East Correspondent on the Daily Show), and I believe that was his voice.
Lindsay was wearing the Slut shirt in George Michael’s campaign video. The other woman was Mrs. Featherbottom.
“I was firing Lupe!”
“Oh. That makes more sense.”
I hesitated to say this, but now that I’m seeing it again I think it’s true: the exchange between Michael and GOB on the couch was Marx Brothers-esque. That and the exchanges about who fired whom where GOB kept jumping on and off the “I was fired” cross like some pogo Jesus.
This may have been the best episode of the season. On par with the great episodes of season one.
Hilarious!
I thought Lindsay was fooled by Featherbottom(she’s kinda dumb), so the payoff when Michael came home and she clearly knew it was Tobias was funny.
And once again, Ron Howard makes the show for me.
"It was the exact plot to the film, Mrs. Doubtfire (Tobias begins to sing)… with some Mary Poppins thrown in…
