  • lookalikes

Barry Zuckercorn VS Jimmy Mcgill, who wins? Or do you think they'd just end up becoming friends?

Intro and outro themes

Arrested Development is one of the few binge shows that has both intro and other music that I love! Just me?

Tobias in Sims 3

Please someone tell me I'm not the only one who sees it, lol.

While I was randomly playing Sims 3, noticed one of my Sim's "good friend" 😂

Does she demand to be taken seriously?

I have to think the Alliance will frown on that

Line readings you always have to go back and replay

Jeffrey Tambor’s delivery of this makes me cackle. I can’t watch just once.

Just saw Gypsy on Broadway. Lucille references the musical multiple times in Arrested.

The most well known is probably Mama's Turn which has the lines "Mama's moving on/Mama's letting lose" that Lucille sings while drinking.

But there's also "How do you like them egg rolls, Mr Goldstone?"

This line isn't actually spoken in Gypsy, the line is "Have an egg roll, Mr Goldstone" and is in reference to two elements in the Broadway show: first, the main character Rose is obsessed with Chinese food, always eating it and second, Mr Goldstone, a character who initially gives Rose an opportunity. Then this is obviously melded with "how do you like them apples" from Good Will Hunting.

Hidden (?) Not-So-PC Joke

I have a video but this sub doesn't allow uploading of videos.

S2E3 at about 9 minutes and 15 seconds, Lupe says something in Spanish. The subtitles provided by the show are "now I have to take care of Buster."

But, that isn't what she said. I speak fluent Spanish and what Lupe says is actually "now I have to take care of the retard."

Did this episode get edited at some point? Like, if I found an original DVD from 20 years ago, would the subtitles provided by the show (i.e. not Netflix subtitles or whatever but actual subtitles edited into the program) show the actual dialogue? Or is this just a hidden gem for the bilingual?

By the way, as others have pointed out in other posts, Lupe's grammar is wrong.

Please help me find this song

Can anyone help me find this song? It has no lyrics, so it’s been really hard to track down. I’ve checked all the Arrested Development playlists, but it’s not included in any of them. It plays in Season 1, Episode 3 (Bringing Up Buster) at 11:02, right after Tobias assumes George Michael is gay lol

If anyone is able to find it… god bless you

Arguably the line that won Jason Bateman a Golden Globe for Best Actor

I'm just wondering if you didn't upgrade a little too fast ... you know you want something sensible you end up getting pushed into something *flashy*.
