Thank you for that, I sent someone a email today with the subject being "Cocka cocka cocka caaa!"

[RulesMapsGuns]

remember that scene early in the first season when Jobe is being interviewed for a job, and the ask him for his qualifications...and in a plume of smoke he launches a pigeon, and ask "hows that for qualifications?"

utterly amazing, that show.

POOF!
"Is that enough of a reference for you?"

Buster:
"Lucille 2 is not doing well. Her vertigo is really getting difficult and it's taking its toll on the relationship. She has a lot of nausea. Although, the other day, we did refer to it as *our nausea*. But that was when we going at it pretty hot and heavy."

Michael:
"Well, now it's *my* nausea."

[RulesMapsGuns]

"yes, i have a rape horn, michael, because you took away my mace"
"like anyone would want to 'r' her..."

buster's fits of uncontrolled profanity were GEMS in tv's coveted entertainment necklace. :(

This thread makes me happy in my no-no place.

[charlie]

the trekkers are going to protest the cancellation of enterprise today. i think we should do the chicken dance in front of fox for being a bunch of chickens and not giving arrested development more of chance! :mad:

[ktothebbc]

I've posted this before, but my favorite quotes come from the Best Man for the GOB episode, where GOB throws himself a bachelor party with all the 'hot cops':

Michael, walking into the party:
"I just came by to celebrate my brother's big announcement and spend some time with him, our good friend Ira, and all these... (looks around, confused) ... hot men."

Same scene a few minutes later, Buster jumps into the room with juice streaked all over his face, in the throws of a passionate sugar rush:
Hot Cop:
"Looks like somebody put their lipstick on in the car!"

:lol:

[Matty,Oh?]

For some reason I have been able to convert any of my closest friends to the Church of AD. I go around quoting the show all day and they look at me like I'm a freakin' alien.


Or maybe it's just because I LOOK like an alien...


Tobias: (jumping on Gob's back...) "You mean, THIS KIND of agility...?"

GOB: "Let's go little man."

Geez, same. Usually my friends and I are on the same page as far as TV, but they've all been very 'meh' about it, fuckos.

[ktothebbc]

Actually, the most outrageous line (can't believe they got to say this):

Tobias (in the midst of a fight with Lyndsey, as Maeby walks in on them) -

"You selfish, cunt- ry music loving lady! Oh, hello, Maeby!"

:lol:

[Matty,Oh?]

Um, has this been posted yet? From the official website...

GOB: "Let's go little man." oh god! that jump onto GOB's back was priceless. His whole character study of the feline was...brilliant. Much like AD, David Cross is very underrated.

Buster: "That's not a good chicken impression. Chickens don't clap!!!"

*lunges at Gob*

[TheLawOfMurphy]

Tonights episode is hysterical.

It's not really gonna get canceled....is it? :(

[Paul Newman]

Buster: My Army training tells me... that this is going to be a hot mission.

Michael: What? A hot mission?

Buster: Yes. I create a diversion, and you grab George Michael and go. We need a name. Maybe “Operation Hot Mother.”

Well I'll be...FOX finally got around to putting up their own Save AD (http://www.getarrested.com/) page. Too little, too f'in late, jerkies! But I signed it anyway. :(

[pointyjess]

There's always money in the banana stand. ;)

"White Power!"
"...I'm white..."*collapses*

HAHAHAHAHAH and Gob and Kitty:

Gob:"Take off your glasses...no, no, wait...Let down your hair...uh...maybe put your hair back up..."
Kitty:"I know..." *turns off light* "Better?"
Gob: (whimpers)"Well...it just seems that there's still light coming in from under the door."


And the chicken dance rules. :D

[whoa]

oh man, i love this show so much. pure genius. i hate that people compare it to curb your enthusiasm, though. it's nothing like it--way better, too.

"tobias, you blowhard!"


the ben stiller episode was awesome.

"did someone say...wonder?"



once i get a dvd player the first thing i will buy will be the first season.

Pop Quiz: What was the funniest part of last night's episode? Don't get it wrong, kids!

Answer: That's right, it's when Tobias, as Mrs. Featherbottom, drives on the wrong side of the road and comments about not being used to driving in the colonies.

If you had another answer, your punishment begins with my reign of terror, later this afternoon.

[pointyjess]

Oh, but, what about "When I get a wee bit scared, I hum a little tune..."

Buster: G.O.B. made me kiss Franklin

[alexucks]

during one of the "scenes from next week" when maeby is at that christian camp..
i don't remember what it was called..

but when buster comes out and says
"hheeeeyy campers"

i fucking DIE laughing every time i think about it!! :lol: all of the times he screams "i'm a monster" i die also.

:cry: :cry: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :love:

[Kitty Fantastico]

Lucille~My advice? Get one of those teddy bears with the cameras in them. I had one in Buster’s room to make sure he wasn’t getting too serious with anyone. As it turned out, he got too serious with the teddy bear.


& from a couple of episodes ago:

Maeby~Do you guys know where I could get one of those gold necklaces with the ‘T’ on it?

Michael~That’s a cross.

Maeby~Across from where?

[Kitty Fantastico]

Ha!

Marry Me!:D

[Kitty Fantastico]

"What the hell kind of puppet does Buster have on his hand?"

The script Maeby was reading was titled,
Operation: Hot Mother. haha

[pointyjess]

:D

oscar 'kissing' buster's hook :lol:

[alexucks]

i love when buster talks about "army" rather than "the army"

:lol:

le sigh.

I think we're all forgetting the most important player in the Arrested Development cast.

i want to see it again for all the right reasons, not because i got in trouble when i was so praising that scene! actually i want to see the episode again. ive been hanging out at the ad fansite all day remembering it like an old love. why cant i be blessed with a tivo?!

ah, a close second:
"Oh, that's right, you Yanks call it 'A Sausage in the Mouth'"
"Aactually, we just call it 'sausage'"

[Uncle Euuoriwareihuj]

it wasn't the best episode ever. I actually fear for where the show is headed, but only slightly. There have been many peaks variously scattered throughout the brief two season run, and thankfully no overall trend has set in, and no suckitude has become evident yet.

They have handled many things I worried about very well so far (Buster's hook-hand), so the show continues to surprise and delight, and as long as there is still at least one full blown oh my god laugh out loud zee exclamation point exclamation point one one one per episode, I know it will be ok.

I'll do some research and get back to you on what the best episode ever is. At some point.

[pointyjess]

They are letting AD fans design shirts for the show...if they choose your design, you get $25 (I guess so you can buy a copy of your shirt from them...???) I think this is awesome, I've been imaginarily desigining my own shirts in my mind for weeks!

Nuts, I can't find the link, but it came in the newsletter from the arrested development fan club. Bah. I will post the link once I can find it or if anyone has the newsletter with the link and wants to post it, that'd be sweet. :)

I made that one in my head! I posted a pic of it awhile back (the image i want to use, not the shirt) i wanted it to say "I <3 Gob" and have that pic in the heart. :love:

[KathiJ]

Oh man . . . I don't know if any shirt could convey how funny the show is! Not that that's strictly necessary or anything. :-p

If I had one of Gob, it'd have to be him and Buster posturing with the casket, even though that's not as funny without the music.

They could have one of Tobias/Mrs. Featherbottom holding out a plate with "Banger in the Mouth!" underneath, which would be disturbing and dirty . . .

Love this show. :cool:

[pointyjess]

Last night's episode, :lol:


(From the intervention for their mom):

Michael(slurring): "Mom, we think you have a problem--"
Gob: "YOU'RE A BITCH"

G.O.B.: I can’t. I already lost a brother today.

Michael: Franklin?

G.O.B.: Well, I didn’t lose him, but he’s all puckered and white.

i love how gob kisses george sr. and ron howard goes, "aand that was weird."

that was a fucking amazing season finale. i was all bummed out cause i thought they were tying up the loose ends with george michael and maeby and also, buster finding out the "pop-secret" :laugh:

but now they have a bunch of storylines to continue with: oscar in jail, lucille and george sr, kitty and tobias, george michael and maeby..

[Paul Newman]

Has reality television a monopoly on the weekdays?

They should make AD TGIF viewing.. Do they still have that? I use to love watching Step by Step with my pop and chips.

[ignatz]

If they ever release an AD soundtrack, I hope to hell there's some Franklin on there. :-D

[pointyjess]

Yesterday, our AD t-shirts arrived!!! Jon got a "Free Annyong" one (I guess we missed the episode where that was resolved, I never knew what happened to him) and I got a Bluth's Original Frozen Banana stand employee t-shirt. :D :D :D :D :D I LOVE THIS SHOW!

[edfuller]

if that was the last scene ever at the court house, i'm glad GOB entered on his segway like he did in the first episode.
