Arrested Development (TV series)/Funny: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* Michael takes Maebe to take-your-daughter-to-work-day and is visited by police inquiring about the disappearance of <s> his</s> his father's secretary, Kitty:

'''Maebe'''': Were those the last words Kitty ever heard? }}

* Michael asks [[Verbal Tic Name|Annyong]] (a Korean boy adopted by [[Evil Matriarch|his mother]]) what is going on:

'''Michael''': I liked it better when he just said Annyong. }}

* A conversation about G.O.B.'s [[Jive Turkey]] [[Demonic Dummy]], Franklin:

'''Gob''': He also said some things that African-American-y wasn't ready to hear either. }}

* Any of the chicken impressions.

* Hot ham water!

** "So watery...and yet, there's a smack of ham to it."

* George Senior dressing up in a turban and delivering a threatening video to his employees. We only see one part of it, which has him imitating Osama bin Laden with the phrase, "This is my demand", complete with finger pointing.

* This one happened within the first few minutes of the series:

'''Gob:''' ''Illusion'', Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money. ''(Michael gestures to nearby children)'' ...Or cocaine! }}

* Tobias' audition to announce a fire {{spoiler|sale}}.

* Undoubtedly this exchange, which was the culmination of an episode's worth of rock/paper/scissors jokes:

'''Narrator''': ...which beat scissors. Unfortunately, the whole incident was covered by the paper. }}

* In a series that was basically one big sustained CMoF, particularly memorable is the climax of Mr. F, where all the subplots come crashing together to simulate a [[Kaiju]] battle in the Bluths' backyard--all of it witnessed by Japanese investors who promptly withdraw their funding.

* This exchange:

'''Gob''': It's my ''illusion''! }}

* This exchange in the season 1 finale:

'''Gob''': '''Beads'''! }}

* George Sr. informing Michael that they killed J. Walter Weatherman "when you left the door open with the air conditioner on."

* Tobias putting his role of "Analyst" and "Therapist" together to create {{spoiler|Analrapist}}.

'''Buster''': It's not really the pronunciation that concerned me. }}

* In the third episode:

'''Michael''': Well no one's gonna top that. }}

*** Said by Tony Hale to be his favorite moment in the show.

* Pretty much [[Un Entendre|everything]] [[Ambiguously Gay|Tobias]] says.

* Maeby and her school's grading system.

* Tobias [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC9CY348gvg attempting to break into Maggie Lizer's house]. With [[Unnecessary Combat Roll|Unnecessary Combat Rolls]]. Keyword: ''[[Highly-Visible Ninja|attempting]]''.

** Plus, Maggie comes home but can't reveal that she knows he's there without giving away that she's not blind, so both of them are forced to spend quite some time awkwardly moving around each other, neither acknowledging the other's presence.

* Gob's single-episode obsession with how expensive his business suits are, and the resulting hysterical babbling he's reduced to when Michael [http://youtu.be/A5FVLrRqwEY makes a silly remark about his pants]. In fact, any interaction between Michael and Gob when the latter becomes highly emotional is pretty much gold.

** And speaking of Gob's Pants:

'''Gob''' ''tears off velcro pants'': You tell me. }}

* In one episode, previously unrelated subplots regarding a jetpack, a mole, a model city and Japanese investors inevidably build towards a completely unintentional {{spoiler|[[Kaiju]] battle being staged.}} Probably one of the funniest punchlines in the history of the show.

* In ''Top Banana''

'''T-Bone:''' Oh most definitely! }}

* "''[[Alias]]'' is a show about a spy!" Now even better thanks to Tony Hale's role on [[Chuck|another show about a spy]].

* [[Running Gag|NO TOUCHING!]]

* GOB Bluth buys a yacht called ''The Seaward,'' and his brother Michael is annoyed. Then their mother shows up at the tail end of the conversation and [[Don't Explain the Joke|mishears "The Seaward" as "the c-word"]]:

'''Lucille:''' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|I'll leave when I'm good and ready!]] }}

** Note that GOB's other yacht in the final episode is actually called [[Brick Joke|''The C-Word,'']] so written.
