I felt like I was the only one who got that as well

My sister tried to skip those when she watched and I was like WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Are you serious??? I always skipped them to not spoil it... best I be rewatching it again so

@@JohnJones-yk5qk Lol you really should not XD

I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t realize that until well into the second season…something seriously wrong with me hahaha

ka-cooka-chaaa

No chipchipchipchipchip tho ...

Cha chi-cha chi-cha!

HAS ANYBODY IN THIS FAMILY SEEN A CHICKEN?

It was not complete, they didn't let Gob do his chicken dance, and that's the best chicken dance of all, followed close by Lindsay's.

But why did they

It won awards but didn’t get a ton of viewers. The show moved around to different time slots, different days. They made a huge mistake , but it was because the show was before its time. Before binge watching was a thing.

Fox did the same with Family Guy. Difference is, it got revived after its strong dvd sales and kept going. Seeing where modern Family Guy went, I wish it traded places with AD.

Netflix after season 4: I’ve made a huge mistake

FOX, the kiss of death for any comedy series. Getting it wrong is our business!

ICG best analrapist in the business too

It's Fünke

Buster as well think I

......and... SCENE

I like Job

R3DH00D1E I LOVED that one

Even worse, the one Tobias opens only has a Starbucks cup in it somehow

@@DodaGarcia Game of Thrones could have picked up on this one with their starbucks cup.

@Adolf Hitler on a phone keyboard (androiad anyway) 3 and 'e' share are the same button. probably he held it too long and got a 3

Please what episode is this??

hoodwinkedfool a classic example of the underpinning casual punchlines that originally may seem like a throw away line

On the commentary they said that joke was the whole reason they named her ann

Joseph Laramie damn...

Joseph Laramie omg i cant believe i missed that joke for so long

still shocked i didnt get this till now

Also, the surrogate Larry Middleman is in the room at that point, wearing a microphone so that George Sr. can hear what's going on from home.

I love that part so much.

At first when they were saying Bob Loblaw, I thought they were saying "blah, blah, blah," like they had forgotten his name or it wasn't important or something.

I had to pause this scene because I kept thinking: "No, no way they'd do that!". That was genius

I’m rewatching the show and I noticed another similar subtle joke. During George’s arraignment, the judge says “There are no cameras allowed in the courtroom”, then the rest of the scene is filmed from the perspective of outside the courtroom.

Anustart 🤣

I’m a therapist and I think about this at LEAST 3 times a year

The Analrapist joke caused me an asthma attack from all the laughter, it was totally worth it.

"Yes, and you were almost arrested for those business cards."

The world's first!

yeah!! especially since the "lose seal" joke didn't come around until season 2

what about the 'Maeby' Funke joke that starts in the pilot and spans over both the season 2 finale and season 3 finale as well? never experienced any joke taking that long and being so stupid and hilarious at the same time

@@MisterChenzy and her “twin sister” was Surely

According to the dvd commentary they named Ann specifically for that joke. The other two probably were not planned that far ahead.

@@SteveBluescemi idk, they start setting that “loose seal” joke up in season one when Gob gets married to the seal dealer

I liked it when she gave him money to go see a Star War.

Them thinking that's his name is a good character establishing moment of the Bluths being thoughtless idiots and works well on its own. But then they bring it full circle in the finale in a way that really bookends the series and makes a final punchline to the running theme of their stupid greedy behaviour always having disastrous consequences. Such a well thought-out series.

Is she funny or something

Egg

That's bland

*pats on back* Well, let’s hope so

Brooke Ashley bland?

lmaooooooooovthat shit always has me weak

have you noticed that during the show they were setting up tobias to be an albino black man?

elena how?

"The man inside me" ;-)

QJAndra we don’t talk about the 4th season.

When Lindsay has a crush on the bounty hunter, Ice, Tobias says something along the lines of "I can see why you're attracted to him since he and I are so similar."

Seriously? They actually spell that one out for you. Someone explains the joke at some point, an advisor or board member or something.

@@manbastard111 you should be more respectful i think

Man Legi it’s michael lol, he goes “ya know i’m pretty sure solid as a rock isn’t the best move since we built houses in Iraq”

Ryan no I agree with Man Legi op is a dumbass. How do you miss that joke when the main character spells it out for the audience?

@@BoxStudioExecutive for me it's because English isn't my first language AND I might just have been paying more attention to subtitles. And as a big genius like u might realize, when translating jokes like these, u have to change the entire wordplay for it to work in another language :)

This one. Had me literally screaming laughter

genius, I didn't remember about this one.

Yo foreal that was a good one. Half the time the characters are having conversations, they’re almost never talking about the same thing. 😂

only third?

Phillip Dvorak thoose are rookie numbers

😂😂

Start chatting when you get past 20

Phil Nye I’ve rewatched the show 7 times going on 8th

You forgot mayoegg

It's as Ann as the nose on plain's face

OMG I NEVER NOTICED THAT

Who's Ann? Ohh..Ann..we love her

best scene

you should poison your housemate

That’s by far my favorite running joke.

that is my favorite scene ever

her?

these were written by a computer program from feeding in every tv show that came before

that would be seinfeld

Unquestionably

@@bobpolo2964 lol not even close to ad in terms of writing

phillyslasher it was released in the early 2000s, binging was not even a thing to be considered with tv shows at the time. but yeah i think the reason why it was cancelled was because how little episodes they had, other popular shows at the time had 28-32 episodes a season whereas arrested development only had 22, 18 and 13.

@inyrui they're aggressively average, not awful

@@lolar7707 Used to be such a find when there'd randomly be a double feature on BBC 1 at like 11:20 pm. So hard to find it.

Fun fact: Most Netflix Users and people in general do not know this show. Some know the show after 3 seasons and a break of several years when it got rebooted for Season 4 by Netflix. Then the casual people started watching it (was very similar with Game of Thrones, very few people followed the Show from the beginning, most only joined in Season 3 or 4 because it got more and more popular and people talked about it everywhere). And the people who had known and loved the show all along are the reason why it got rebootet after such long time. Fun fact: The Show was by far the highest rated IMDb Comedy TV Show and in the Top 5 of the overall TV Shows with the greatest ratings until the Netflix Reboot, it had an average Score of 9.6. Also proves the point that Netflix usually ruin most good Shows or cancel the good ones while producing and sticking to (Mainstream) Shit Shows.

@@MisterChenzy why was "mainstream" in parentheses and not "shit"

I noticed individual ones the first time through, but it wasn't until like rewatch 5 that I realized it is ALWAYS making a joke when a character is on a bench or in front of a sign. So much genius in that show.

Hol-y shit. 🤯

That's why I can rewatch the series all the way through a couple times a year! Little pop culture references, hidden meanings/references, ALL pop out in repeat watches after you already discovered others. GENIUS show! - Anonymous (Milford Academy 2003)

"The hand!"

Woah. I did not catch onto this gag and i have been watching AD *at least* once a year, every year since 2012.

Michael’s facial expression during that part

Her?

I've made a huge tiny mistake

Netflix after trying and failing to continue the show

I know, but the video was only ten minutes long.

I love the way that the model home is a metaphor for the Bluths. It's meant to represent something aspirational, but it quickly becomes clear that everything about it is fake and it gradually falls apart as the show proceeds.

The fact you call it that at all tells me youre not ready.

I never caught the pop-pop joke until this video loool

Loose seal!

"Get rid of the Seaward." "I'll leave when I'm good and ready."

"Check out who's on the hog in the rearview mirror!" is my absolute favourite linkup to that gag...

oh shit

he had taken 80,000 dollars worth of cartography lessons

E mer chng.it/ZPLTzvc am I the only one who wants redemption?

@@armaanchadhafilms I'd rather a movie honestly

Mike Williams maybe

jules5000x *maeby

HAHAHAHA now I get it, this show is amazing

Mike Williams Her?

Also note that when George Michael is taking breakfast to George Senior in the attic, there's a giant bowl of eggs on the tray. In another episode, Michael refers to Ann as 'Egg'. This fucking show, man.

The best part is that they eat at Miss Temple's on Friday night.

Aaron Capen has

A shabbat shalom bluth fam!

@@susanna9310 is it skip church because they're jewish?

"he said some wonderful things"

"Rita corny Michael ;) "

AngryTechGuy what episode is that

I'd say when he first said that "Daddy Horney Michael" line - that may be my biggest laugh of the whole series ... except Maeby (sorry) when "Franklin" Is "speaking" with George Sr, giving him a hard time and George says, "ENOUGH!!" (That line/set up was possibly my favorite moment of the whole series - one that I think possibly literally had me on the floor laughing).

The flashback to that line when Lucille asks if George asked for her is amazing!

George Bush doesn't care about black puppets! I die whenever I see that.

The Iraq war was also going on during the revival...

Solid as Iraq!

The iraq war continues to this day

Surprisingly not this time, although Iran's not looking so hot.

There is no season 4.

Cinco de Cuatro*

Season 4 just doesnt have the density of the first 3. Its a straight up dumbed down version because every episode on the Fox run built and maintained a lot of momentum especially as the stakes and payoffs got bigger and better. I would give anything to see a 90 minute spritual successor with the same self awareness, detail and rube-goldberg feel. Airpland and Monty Python's and the Holy Grail are really still the only two movies that match what Arrested Development seemed to perfect.

Lidiane Silva cuz it's the last time you'll see them!!

Lidiane Silva goodbye

Spring break! Woooo!

They're crooked

(•Y•)

That entire season is filled with foreshadowing that Buster loses his arm. In fact, the entire show is filled with foreshadowing of many other events, which makes it perfect to rewatch multiple times.

In season 3 there's another bench that says wee britain, but Rita is sitting covering "it"

When Buster finds his chair shaped like a hand at the maid's house: "I never thought I'd miss a hand so much"

OsKarMike1306 they didn't even plan on cutting his hand before that... you're talking out of your ass because of coincidences. the creators even said so

Emily Nicholas you're WRONG. that was a coincidence

SAME !!

Don't feel bad. English is my main language and I just got it 💀💀💀

Now go watch it all again!

Definitely two of the best shows ever

Jacob Crites I don't dislike but I like it less than the other 3. And not because it's different but because there's not enough character to character interaction. Episodes focus on 1-2 people and the show really shines when the entire cast is together

Season 4 rewards those who pay attention.

Season 4 isn't as bad as its made out to be. That being said i like that season 5 is a return to form.

it has good moments but it just loses the original spirit of the first 3 seasons, so it just doesn't have a reason to exist being a different show

There is no season 4.

I thought that "Mr. F" sounding so similar to "Misdirect" was also a subtle meta joke. Word play for the win!

Hyero Nimus she was a such a pussy 😍

Mistah efff

@EditRepublic que

Jeepers Scoob Son of a bitch of course that’s why it says that. How did I not catch that?

I've never seen the original season 4 but the remixed version still feels like a different show, it's very odd

Oh, that's why I felt it funnier. I watched season 4 years ago and it felt weird, but I binged watched it last month and it was better.

i thought season 4 was genius

Dan Bing part of that has to do with pragmatism. The show had been off air for a decade and the writing needed to explain what had happened to each character in the past ten years. In a sense, S4 is totally different from the first three because most of it retroactive exposition as opposed to present development. This means the whole narrative is substantially altered. I hated S4 when it first was released, but I just rewatched the whole series with the remixed S4 this summer and it’s significantly better, especially when you consider the unique position the writers had. I also found S5 to feel much more like the original trilogy, but it’s painfully short, only like 8 episodes.

+Jacob That's only the first half of the season. The second half comes later this year. Is the remixed version on netflix?

Nik Carroll HA old claptrap

May be well known, but that episode of Happy Days is known as the day it ended effectively. It has 'lost the plot'. People refer to it as the shark effect or similar.

Beads!?

They don’t want you

JuniorSkeptic thank you so much!

As an experiment I think S4 does something really interesting. It was a full acknowledgement of the way people were starting to binge-watch shows, because the trick with S4 is that each new episode you watch changes your appreciation of the previous episode. You get a new piece of the puzzle which retroactively makes stuff which seemed mildly funny or weird in previous episodes suddenly incredibly funny. But to fully appreciate that, you need to a) binge watch the episodes but, more importantly, b) watch the whole thing. In a way what S4 does it a complete inversion of the Rube Goldberg machine of comedy that the previous seasons did. Instead, you are shown the punchline to a joke in one episode, then over the course of several more episodes, you see everything in the lead up to the punchline and suddenly it's even funnier. It really rewards repeat views in a way that most shows can't even comprehend. I hear a lot of dislike for S4, and sure it takes a different approach which won't gel with everyone, but I think the main reason a lot of people dislike it is because they watched maybe the first couple episodes and they didn't see what the show was doing. The whole really is much greater than the sum of its parts. I actually really like S4. I don't know if I could, hand on heart, say it's _as good_ as the first three, but that's an incredibly high benchmark and definitely does not reflect badly on S4 that it didn't quite live up to three seasons of one of the greatest shows of all time. Given the limitations they had around people's schedules, and the challenge of living up to their own hype, not to mention the long break between 3 and 4, I think it was incredibly smart and brave to attempt to mix up the format in the way that they did.

"Well then why don't you just marry an ice cream sandwich!"

did you like the forth season? I hated it and i'm kinda dreading the fifth.

Honestly, the 4th season is actually great after a couple viewings, it wasn't perfect but due to their long ass break because of the cancellation and then the actors all being so busy I'm glad they managed to throw something together and when you go through it again you naturally pick up a lot of the jokes you missed before and enjoy the story, Cant wait for season 5!

the 4th season had a different style and also was too damn repeatitive that made me so disappointed but i got used to it eventually.. I hope they bring the old seasons style back again with the upcoming 5th.

Congrats on making the best decision of your life. Now it's time to go rewatch it and catch the 8 million jokes you missed.

Harrison Moses I didn't miss that much ... but yes i will rewatch it again for sure 😂
