>>223710137>What’s the greatest joke on arrested development?Season 4 and 5
>>223710196Okay, you know what you do? You just buy yourself a tape recorder and you just record yourself for a whole day. I think you're gonna be surprised at some of your phrasing
Barry and the hooker>Hey, you’re not one of those silly men that’s dressed up like a woman, are ya? >No, baby, I’m the real thing. *floors it*
>>223710137Mr. funky subconsciously being a homosexual
Buster finally standing up to Lucille only to get his hand bitten off by a loose seal was some pretty strong pun work
Get rid of the seaward
>>223710283I'll leave when I'm good and ready
>>223710137https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5dQnJldgzA>>223710246is the joke that there is no punchline, and then when someone points this out you try to argue with them about it for the rest of the thread.
>>223710397the punchline is GOB convincing Michael and the audience that Rita does actually have supernatural powers for a few seconds
>>223710137The doctor who takes things too literally>he's alright>it's too late for me to do anything>looks like he's dead
Pop Secret
>>223710266I don't get it
>>223710576Subversion of expectations. You think based on his description he doesn't want ladyboys. But he zooms off when he comes to know it's not one.
Tobias: "in my psychiatric studies i've found that black people seem to have a lower cognitive threshold than other races leading to lower impulse control and higher crime rates"Michael: "Tobias!"Tobias: "what! It's just the t-" *Michael's new black friend staring at Tobias in disbelief*Tobias: "ah...hehehe, i forgot to-" *bolts out of kitchen**black man monkey screams and chases after him with a glock*
>>223710266all the offhand gay jokes involving barry, and tobias for that matter are funny. back when you could still joke about things like that without censoring yourself and conforming to the purity spiral.like the episode where tobias unknowingly buys a gay bar which his wife hates so she hires Gob's "hot cops" gay stripper crew to dress as street thugs and threaten tobias into selling it, and instead tobias recruits them into putting on a musical at the bar. then thinking he's actually turned the lives of some "thugs" around they all go out and try to do the same to an actual mexican gang and get the shit kicked out of them. and at the end of the episode barry buys the gay bar from tobias saying that he always wanted to own a "family restaurant" but then inquires about the sex dungeon in the basement to make sure it's still there.

>>223710782>the zoomers are trying to auramaxx george-michael
>>223710675>/pol/ "humor"
>>223710934IT AIN'T EASY BEING WHITE
>>223710934oh my god I forgot about Franklin, that might honestly be the funniest joke on the show
>>223710137Never nude. The concept of not ever being naked even in the shower. Not even during sex, you just pull it through the hole.
>>223710694>he always wanted to own a "family restaurant" but then inquires about the sex dungeon in the basement to make sure it's still thereCareful, dangerous waters you're treading. Asteroids and chinese table tennis
>>223710795You can do this. I can do this. We are not writers of actual shows. The people who write actual comedy shows that make it to air can not do this.
>>223711032There are dozens of us!DOZENS!!!
>>223710137Pretty much any time Michael talked about Anne
ANUSTARTHenry Winkler jumping the shark on the way to Burger King
>Her? >What is she, funny or something?
>>223710675Why would Tobias, a black man, be racist against black people?
>>223711097>>223711122I do like how they made Michael as shitty and selfish as the rest of the family instead of the more boring "he's the only sane one" route
>>223711122i always thought she was pretty :(
>>223711143Michael isnt shitty or selfish
>>223710137Bumpy ride up ahead
>>223711122>She's just so pretty, I get distracted>... do you?
>>223711122>What is she, funny or something?god let's hope so
>>223711176literally the entire point of the "her?" joke is him being unable to even fake happiness and/or pride for his awkward son getting a girlfriend because he wanted George-Michael to land a cheerleader or something
>>223710934Black ...hand-face?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT34vZxKdjA
>>223711493Thats not him being a shit or selfish person on even remotely the same level as the other members of his family
This is George Michael's cousin maybe.
>>223711615I had such a huge crush on her when I was younger :(
>>223711625She aged like shit
>>223711625Bro same so same. She uggo nowadays tho
>>223711589okay now go into a breaking bad thread and say walter is always a kindhearted school teacher because you say so
>>223711493no, the entire joke is that she's incredibly bland. michael isn't the only one that reacts to her this way. everyone except for george michael does.
>>223711615It went completely over my head when I was young that the joke was literally that she "maybe/maeby" I just thought Maeby was a quirky name they gave the character
>>223711657So did I
>>223711493Don't George and GOB independently go "her?" when seeing her? I think Egg just has a canon in-universe aura of blandness.
>>223711667Comparing Walter White too Michael Bluth is fundamentally a form of a lack of media awareness
>>223711661>She uggo nowadays thohonestly she looks exactly what I expected an older version of her to look like. it's not like she got fat or anything.
>>223710137The show has jokes?
>>223711708Michael's a shitty person if you care to counter that with something other than "no he isn't because I say so" and refuse to elaborate further, you just look like an idiot and/or troll merely pretending to be an idiot
>>223710266Me too. Save it. It's all yours, my friend.
>>223711766you never gave evidence for him being a shitty person in the first place, retard. the only attempt you made was "he doesn't like his son's bland girlfriend"
>>223711671>>223711700every single member of the Bluth family (except for George-Michael) is incredibly vain. Lindsay only dates Tobias to "get back" at her parents for bringing home an uggo. Michael and GOB only romantically pursue beautiful women. they could have cast a way uglier chick to play Anne, but she's just plain and ordinary. Which honestly isn't that bad for a very awkward teenager like GM, and most fathers would still encourage their son even if secretly they felt she wasn't all that specialbut the men of the Bluth family are so vain and self-involved they can't consider GM's confidence, all they can do is be disgusted by how basic Anne is
>>223711176>leaves town to start a fresh life and save his son from his "selfish" family>turns around when he realizes his family didn't know he left
>>223711796there you go again refusing to elaborate on anything
>>223711708Yeah michael is at least well-written
>>223711830>Michael and GOB only romantically pursue beautiful women.Michael didn't date at all for years after his wife died, and none of the women he's pursued were because they were beautiful. they just happened to be beautiful because back then, before you were born, we used to cast attractive people in shows instead of mongrels, fats, and uggos.Honestly your arguments all make you come off as an ugly seether who's mad because you look like or are on the same level as anne who was depicted as the most bland and forgettable person on the show.
>>223711873there you go again, being a shitposting faggot who's seething because it lost an argument that it started in the first place.
>>223711952>none of the women he's pursued were because they were beautiful.Marta, the retard, the hairless woman
>>223711789It's never the ones you hope... think
>>223710171I'm Mr. Manager.
>>223711952holy projection batman
>>223711979he pursued marta because she prioritized family. he wasn't even interested in her for years prior to getting to know her and learning this DESPITE her being the only romance on the show explicitly implied to be extremely beautiful via her being a soap opera actress. sally was a childhood friend. rita was again a case of the actress cast being attractive. why do zoomers panic every time a woman above a 5/10 appears in a TV show or movie?
>>223712151>character only dates beautiful women and is openly disgusted at his son for having a plain girlfriend>"no no no no none of that matters because it doesn't align with my retarded theory" Walter White was just a nice schoolteacher once you decide all the drug stuff is irrelevant
>>223712127maybe start actually watching shows before trying to shitpost about them and you won't end up chronically anally gaped after you get called out, you dumb little queer.
>>223711032When he tries to comfort George Michael when he thinks he's a never nude.But for me the best single joke is when Lindsay tries to comfort George Michael and accidentally turns it into her telling him he can fuck her.
>>223710137YEAH WELL YOUR WIFE IS DEAD
>>223711615She fucked Brad Pitt at a Hollywood house party and Brad started freaking out afterwards like "oh God, what have I done?"
Holy fuck the retardation in this thread>male character is vain and only interesting in dating sexy chicksis a staple of basically every single sitcom ever made I legitimately can't think of a single sitcom where the main male character was truly "I don't care about looks and will date a fat ugly woman if she has a kind soul"
>character only dates beautiful womenshow producers only cast beautiful women*>openly disgusted at his son for having a plain girlfriendthis is a (You) being severely autistic problem, and likely coping with being a plain and forgettable retard yourself. at no point are any of the characters "disgusted" with egg. "Her?" being a running gag is because they literally don't even remember her and often forget her presence entirely because she's so plain. if you actually watched the show you would know this.
>>223711979Michael dated beautiful women because that's who he ended up dating. While I agree Michael is 'secretly" as bad as the rest of them in some ways, which the show shows in the newer seasons, he didn't explicitly date gorgeous women to the exclusion of non gorgeous women as a character trait. It's not really an argument.
>>223712296>at no point are any of the characters "disgusted" with egg.
Jerry Seinfeld only dated beautiful women on Seinfeld because that's who they cast
>>223711675Its literally the first joke they make with her character kek
>>223712278attractive women being cast in romantic roles opposite the main character does not make that character vain. at no point did michael ever pursue a woman because she was physically attractive. and it's a retarded argument to make in the first place, because it's a fundamental given that men will only ever pursue women that they view as having attractive qualities, whatever those qualities may be. i feel like anyone complaining about this is a physically and spiritually ugly woman seething for attention online because men don't give her any irl.
>>223710934>MISTER F!
>>223712296Judy Greer is a pretty conventionally attractive lady, and yet the show went out of their way to make her look as unappealing as possible so Michael wouldn't be attracted to her.Funny they'd make Judy look ugly but not do the same for any of Michael's love interests. Must be a casting issue.
>>223712332are you trying to claim that you're not disgusted by that description of events? it would be disgusting regardless of who did it. it's not anne being disgusting, it's the action itself.
"Why should YOU go to prison for a crime someone ELSE noticed?"
>>223710137Unfunny Jew show
>it's a /tv/ is too autistic to recognize a clearly established character trait episode
>>223711161That's the joke. She's a perfectly nice-looking girl, but the family sees nothing in her.
if anything michael shows repeatedly that he's not shallow. he only ever takes notice of marta, a literal tv star known for her good looks, when he gets to know her and finds out how much she cares about her family. he also dumps rita despite her being both rich and attractive because she's mentally retarded. and a few of his love interests on the show weren't particularly attractive, either, like lizer and the PR girl. they weren't ugly, but they certainly weren't in the same league as casting choices like heather graham or charlize theron. the "beauty" of his love interests is rarely a thing brought up in the show by him nor his actual vain family.
>>223712382If they tried to make Judy unattractive in this show, they failed.
>>223712545see>>223712491
>>223712364I was like 13 or something when it came out
>>223712563sure she looks good, but her personality in the show is definitely unattractive. I'm also not sure she was supposed to be considered conventionally attractive in-universe, since Gob was the most shallow character on the show and he thought she was hideous.
>>223712572>>223712491shut the fuck up you fart sniffing faggot.

>>223712665no matter how special and important you think you are:show canon > your own headcanon

>>223710137Kitty's boob job nipples facing completely random directions in each scene always gets me.
>>223712491MEDIA LITERACY!!!!! *rings bell* MEDIAFUCKINGMEDIALITERACYITERAC Y!!!
>>223712696you never said a single thing about the show. you came in and made a retarded shitpost about how you're le media literate and everyone who disagrees is autistic. you're wrong, retarded, and you need to kill yourself.
>>223712491>it's a /tv/ is too retarded to realize it's more than one person
>retarded argument shitting up what was a good threadWhat is wrong with you people. Every time
>>223712642>but her personality in the show is definitely unattractiveOkay fag
>>223712812I mean one anon has gone on a "everyone in this thread must be very very ugly if they don't agree with me, it's the only explanation that makes sense" rant like 4 different times
>>223712491What character are you talking about, and what trait are you referring to? Why are you too scared to reply to any actual posts with an actual argument? You won't reply to this with a serious answer, either, because you're a low IQ shitposter.
>>223712844And you keep responding to himWhat does that make you?
Tobias needs his own spinoff
HARD MODE: what's the greatest joke in seasons 4 or 5?
>>223712862Michael Bluth is a shitty person who gets off on pretending to be a "good person" because the other members of his family are arguably worse.One clear example of this is his mistreatment of Anne and refusal to embrace her as his son's girlfriend, and his willingness to pursue the girlfriends of GOB and George-Michael once he develops a crush on themYour turn to give a serious answer.
>>223712437Name one funny show.
>>223712843she's an adulterous and promiscuous whore, a liar, manipulative, lazy, histrionic, and she's actively working against the family and trying to find a way to blackmail them. if you think those are attractive personality traits then I don't know what to tell you other than I wish you luck in your future relationships, because you're desperately going to need it.
buster losing his hand and just rolling with it for the whole show
>>223712844>everyoneno, anon, you specifically are very ugly because you're the only one who keeps feeling personally called out by his objective statements about the show and obsessively replying.
>>223712965Oh, you're still just the seether from the start of the thread who's gaped because you're wrong and everyone disagrees with you. Serious answers were already posted against your personal opinions and emotional outbursts several times. You can re-read the thread if you want to see them, but I doubt it will do you much good since you've already dismissed them due to your own ongoing mental and emotional instability caused by being objectively wrong.
>>2237131065 different times
>>223713063He's obviously a virgin but thought he could pull some sort of rank by being 'more attracted to women than you' or something. Sad shit.
>>223713186I gave you a serious answer and asked for one back.You've instead wasted a lot of words typing that you're not going to give a serious answer because you've already declared yourself the winnerI can explain my position, you cannot. Simple as, you smoothbrain
>>223713186this kind of argument style really only works on twitter, bud
>>223711111>on the way to Burger KingIt's a wonderful restaurant!
>>223713186EDUCATE YOURSELF I REFUSE TO DO THE LABOR OF EDUCATING YOU
>>223713259Sorry, sweetie, but you need to understand that here on 4chan we don't give a fuck about your emotions or your opinions, and screeching demands other people to keep participating in good faith with your tantrum because you're still seething about getting BTFO just isn't going to work here. You can go die in a fire while pretending you "won" the anonymous internet argument for all we care.
Bsby, you got a stew goin'
AND THAT'S WHYYOU ALWAYS LEAVE A NOTE
>>223713259>>223713280>>223713385this samefagging leftoid is anally OBLITERATED holy shit lmao. go back to discord or bluesky or whatever gay hugbox you came from, anne.
>>223713492not the guy you're (you)ing but they actually argued a point and you responded with nuliberal "educate yourself", "you're not participating in good faith" and other wokeisms instead of arguing a point back
Good work, you retards have succeeded in ruining the thread
>>223712326Yes he did
>>223712917Is there a little girl here? Daddy needs to get his rocks off!
>>223713458
>>223711066oh they knew
>>223713597you're too stupid to even follow simple reply chains.
>Has anyone in this family ever seen a chicken?
>>223712437If you can't find Arrested Development funny because of your hatred for Jews then just stop watching shows
>>223712906No because he's good in small doses but an entire show about him would have been too much

Probably pic related when he sets Tobias on fire. The whole setup was so out of left field I lost my shit.
>...Oh, you talking about the cabin
>>223710246Kino
>>223710137There's really too many to pick just one. But I wish they did the joke with Anne where she was played by a different actress in every appearance.>>223712917Season 4 has some moments. I think I laughed the hardest when that guy asked George Bluth if he wanted to watch him fuck his wife.
The fact that you still call it pop-pop shows that you're not ready for it.
>>223712382She's not unattractive in the show, even when they do things like make her cross eyed when she takes off her glasses.Her character was simply repulsive as a person.
>>223712866>And you keep responding to him>What does that make youHis therapist
Is season 5 worth watching? I skipped it after the underwhelming season 4.
>>223715262no its trash just avoid it, the show ends after season 3
>worst character on the show>humor grinds to a halt any time he's on screen
>>223712917https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfXANC9M3vw>the next season ruins it by making them actually gay
That’s why you don’t tell lies.That’s why you don’t shoutFucking love George Blueth and that one armed bastard.
>>223710694Plenty of people still make gay jokes. What the fuck are you talking about
>>223715439He watches television and film vicariously through /tv/ posts
>>223711068>The people who write actual comedy shows that make it to air can not do thisThere are shows NOW that make gay jokes. You're delusional.
>>223711068>The people who write actual comedy shows that make it to air can not do this.

>>223713063She is a tv show character with boobs and wants sexEven if she was real, you are not a Bluth
I don't understand the question and won't respond to it.
which question queer?
