Is Fox TV now stealing the names of characters for their shows from here? What’s coming next? “The Bus Guy Stories”?..“Qagdop: Prison Doc”?
Given Bob Loblaw’s registration date and Arrested Developments’ original air date, I’d rethink the matter.
I’d watch Qagdop: Prison Doc, sounds like a nice comedy. Not The Bus Guy Stories though as cable porn usually isn’t very good.
::hangs head in shame::
But I never watched the show, so I claim ignorance.
bob_loblaw registered here in September 2004, more than a year before Bob’s first appearance on AD in Oktober 2005.
…or maybe a lawyer who start a web page happenend to be named Robert Loblaw?
There is a supermarket chain in this part of Canada called Loblaw’s and I can remember the joke from 40 years ago that the owner’s name was Bob. Bob Loblaw goes way back.
Exactly. It’s a very old joke name like Ben Dover, Mike Hunt or Dick Hertz.
But when AD added the fact that the character has a blog … comic genius.
The Bob Loblaw Blog. HA!
That’s The Bob Loblaw Law Blog.
Okay, call me stupid if you must, but what’s funny about the name Bob Loblaw?
Say out loud “Don’t talk nonsense to Bob Loblaw”
Well, it’s the kind of name that you don’t speak nonsense to. Bob Loblaw is not interested in gibberish.
Sounds like a “Chuck Norris” style meme coming up!
That’s it? It sounds funny when you say it?
That’s pretty childish.
Nobody said it was Beckett.
I always thought Al Calivicci was the funny one.
I’m slow on the uptake. I never realized the creamy little onomatopoetic center in the middle of that name till this thread.
We had the same store in Erie, PA, but it was pronounced LOWblahs, so I never heard that joke when I lived there. Too bad I missed out… :smack:
Blah blah blah
Must be American pronunciation that’s preventing the joke from penetrating my skull, even with hajario’s final explicit description.
