I’m not sure if this belongs here or in the Game Room… My fantasy hockey league this year has an Arrested Development theme. Every team name is supposed to be something AD-related. I’ve watched the show several times, but I’m by no means an expert. I’m sure there are lots of funny little quotes etc. from the show that would make a good team name. I know there are some big AD fans here; does anybody have any suggestions? It would be a bonus if you can give a little bit of background context from the show to explain the name. ---

“the Seaward” Which is the name of their boat, but whenever their mother hears them say it, she thinks they are referring to her (C-word). ---

And double post - the Chicken Dancers. They all do a chicken dance to mock their brother Michael for being a chicken. Each does a unique dance. ---

“The Seawards”, or if you prefer, “The C-Words” (_The Seaward_ was the name of the family’s yacht, but Lucille sometimes thought it was a word her kids used to describe her when they didn’t want her to know what they were talking about [Michael: “Gob, I want you to get rid of _The Seaward_.” Lucille: “I’m not going anywhere!”]) “The Bob Loblaw Law Bloggers” ---

There’s a softball game in one episode. I think the team names are just “Bluth Company” and “Sitwell Enterprises.” ---

And none of them resemble a chicken in the slightest. That’s one of my favorite AD inside jokes. I’ll suggest: Red McGibbon and Bullet: Nazi Hunters ---

**Mind the Poppins!** - in the “Wee Britain” neighborhood of southern California there is a Mary Poppins doll attached to a zip line that flies through the air at regular intervals, knocking over people who don’t remember to “Mind the Poppins!” **Red McGibbon and the Bullets** - based on Uncle Jack’s famous radio show, Red McGibbon and Bullet. You can use the catch phrase, _Shoot me!_ other key words from the show: I’ve made a huge mistake! The Big Yellow Joint Blue Man/I just blue myself Mr. F Lucille/ Loose Seal The Final Countdown The Gothic Castle Analrapist Motherboy Dipping into the Kitty Bees!?

I just don’t know enough about hockey to make any of these into some kind of neat pun. ---

> [@Munch](#): > > Red McGibbon and Bullet: Nazi Hunters Explanation: Martin Short appeared in a few episodes as a former 40s movie star, famous for his role in “Red McGibbon and Bullet: Nazi Hunters”. Kinda obscure. I think I’d personally go with The Lucilles (or The Loose Seals) or The Cornballers. ---

Mary Poppins flying to the Banks’ house at the beginning of the movie. As for why they did it, I think they were trying to make that place as ridiculously over the top British as they possibly could. Oh, that reminds me… If you can have AD related names also, Mr F and Hermano would be good. ---
