And that’s how Bob was no longer the Bluth family’s attorney.

What’s the joke? I’m watching my DVDs, but I guess I missed something.

Well…the joke is that it all sounds like, “Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…”

Were you looking for something else?

It’s just a tongue-twister, like Bob Loblaw.

Okay, could have asked the question better…

An episode starts with Michael holding a newspaper on which is the headline “Bob Loblaw Lobs Law Bomb”, and then Michael says, “Well, we lost our attorney because **someone** wanted a boyfriend.”

I was trying to figure out if there was something more to the joke - basically, what was the Law Bomb that Bob Loblaw Lobbed?

Ah. I forget if Bob slept with Lindsay or not, but the bombshell was that he was quitting, either because he slept with her or because he was tired of her hitting on him.

Could have been Tobias, too. Don’t forget.

The headline made me think that maybe Bob screwed up - but giving up a high profile case to get away from a freaky girl (or guy) could be considered dropping a bomb.

Or Loblaw’ing one.

I thought he wanted to sleep with Lindsay, but wouldn’t sleep with a client. That’s why the Bluth’s lost him as their lawyer. Don’t know if she ever slept with him, though.

Despite all her attempts, Lindsey never cheated on Tobias during the entire shows run.

Of course not. Tobias wasn’t gay. He always was very firm on that matter and took it hard if anyone suggested it.
