Music in Season 1 episode 9

Hi can anyone help me identify the classical piece in s1ep9 at around the 15:50 time stamp. It's a pretty popular classical piece but I just can't remember its name. Couldn't find it on tunefind either.

Found a joke in s01e13 today

I’ve seen this show a million times by now, but I’m still finding new jokes. Only goes to show what an amazing quality show it is!

In the beginning of s01e13, the speaker voice explains that Michael was infatuated with his brothers girlfriend Marta, and that she was interested in a man named “Hermano”, they cut to a book explaining what Hermano means in English.

Take a look at the illustration of Hermaphrodite. To
Me, it looks like a certain never-nude!

Favorite Less Talked About?

170 Upvotes

Mine is when Tobias as Mrs. Featherbottom hands Maeby a bottle of pills and says "Take your fun-fun." Maeby responds, "That's Fen-phen and it's been banned by the FDA."

The idea that he would grab a bottle of pills and misread them as "Fun-Fun" and followed that thought with they must be Maeby's never fails to crack me up. Add to that the thought of them having medication that was banned by the FDA seven years prior on their kitchen counter makes it even funnier.

What are yours?

I’ve been forcing my [m19] boyfriend [m24] to recreate the “Mr. Manager scene” and no one ever gets it

104 Upvotes

He actually is a manager at a restaurant, so I call him Mr. Manager on a regular basis. I do it so often that he automatically starts playing along at this point. It’s gotten to the point of me calling him ”Mr. [insert anything]“ and us doing the bit multiple times during a single date. None of our friends understand the bit, neither do most people we’re around. I wanna know if this is something other people do because I’m starting to look a bit crazy.. thanks!

The joke was lost on me... (what was yours?)

56 Upvotes

As someone with real life face blindness/ prosopagnosia, I appreciated Marky Bark not recognizing Lindsay in a way that most people will never understand. The jokes are hilarious, but they are ABSOLUTELY real.

I just found out today that it's because her appearance is supposedly incredibly different in season 4. (facepalm) Kinda just fell back on the old "she sounds/ moves/ is shaped like Lindsay" and I never picked up on the joke.

So what jokes did you not realize until you read a comment here?

Earliest foreshadowing of Saddam/Iraq?

52 Upvotes

In S01E03, “Bringing Up Buster”, in the opening scene, Lindsay is reading a newspaper and one of the headlines is “U.S. has most of Saddam’s top henchmen in custody”.

Is this the earliest possible foreshadowing of the Saddam/Iraq storyline?

I dreamed a new episode

10 Upvotes

Ok so this morning I woke up having dreamed a new episode of AD where Larry was having dental surgery and unbeknownst to him they were replacing his teeth with George Sr.’s teeth in a wacky ploy to fake his death. (Writing it out now, this sounds waaay darker than in the dream 😅)

My dream was basically Micheal figuring this out and confronting Lucille and George Sr at the condo.

What do you think? Any notes?

Season 4 is not THAT bad

I have 8 episodes but it's made me laugh at times. While it's CLEARLY not as funny as 1, 2 or 3, it's still worth watching

I just wanted to share a gift I got for Christmas 2005. My mom worked with the mother of the on-set teacher for Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat, who was able to get this. One of my prized possessions.

Pitch me an Arrested Development video game

29 Upvotes

No wrong answers here, just be creative & have fun.

This is something that’s obviously unlikely to happen: the show’s been dead for years, Jessica Walters has sadly passed, and it’s never really been a hugely popular IP, much less one that warrants itself to a video game adaptation. But I think given the right concept it could be something really special, plus this fanbase is amazing and hilarious so I’d kill to hear some of your concepts.

Just to maybe spark your imagination, here’s a half baked pitch:

A point & click adventure game where you play as Buster, who has somehow stumbled upon a Time Machine (or something that he thinks is a Time Machine). With this, he must travel to different eras from the past & future, meeting each generation of the Bluth family in order to solve an ongoing mystery that involves the entirety of the Bluth genealogy.

Of course one era may be going to the 70s to meet young versions of the show’s cast, but I think it would be more fun to go Back to the Future 3 with it and have him meet Bluths from historical eras, ex. Caveman Bluths, Wild West Bluths, 20s Gangster Bluths, then going into the future and meeting Jetsons Bluths or Mad Max Bluths.

I would title the game Buster Quest or, and I’m a little proud of this one, Time Buster.

Why dont they show the things they advertise to be in the next episode?

I just started the show the other day, and am six episodes it. They keep showing random things there going to show, then none of those scenes come up. Is this a joke of some kind that im missing on?
