If it's somehow used to mock TBBT, maybe having Tobias messing up the 'laugh track pause' by waiting too long and looking around, I'd love that. Otherwise I don't want him tainted.Haha, pretty cool. I'd never know that since I don't watch both shows.
But yes, imagine Tobias interacting with Sheldon. It would be sooo good.

I thought that was an Annyong joke.
Arkos
Nose how to spell and rede to
Ha! I see what you did there. And yeah I agree, he was great, as somebody else said its probably more telling that nobody's complained about him.
I thought that character was funny but when I realized it was Terry Crews = so much better. He's a funny ass dude!
Loved that speech about the joke ....I forgot the joke.

Anyone figured out the "James Abramson" joke in Gob's episode?

Sorry, I meant it's his grandfather's middle name. It was originally his first name but later changed to his middle name.

Rewatching tobias 2. tobias asks Argylehow much a broadway production would cost.
Argly says it would cost 700,000$. which is why he threatens Michael at the resturant.

I forget; why does Michael owe the 700,000 in the first place though?

I really don't think face blindness works the way they portrayed it in the show. Goin off memory here, but there was a Radiolab episode about face blindness and it was more of a recognition thing. You'd still be able to see the features of a face, just unable to piece together who it was you were talking to.
Small complaint, loved the season

Finished season 4 earlier this week, I thought it was amazing, just incredible.
The logistics of figuring out the story must have been a pain in the ass.
One of my favorite parts though had to be, Embryo Dan It would have been a wonderful life haha.

My favorite scene of the whole season is probably Tobias on To Entrap a Local Predator.
"Is there a little girl here all by herself?"
"Daddy needs to get his rocks off."
"I'm here to see my little girl. I wanted to show her daddy's Thing."
"[Oh so it's your daughter you're here to see?] Yes......Maeby."
"I want to...nineteen?... But I like to think of her as fifteen."

Yep! I loved that scene. Watched it like... Many times.
Absolutely the best scene out of the first six I've seen. So funny. I don't know though why that show was waiting for him though-does that setup come later?
Yeah they explain it later on, though pretty briefly.

Yeah that was the first episode that gave me faith the rest of the season would be quality.
I also liked this exchange.
"Hey, guess what? There's a raccoon out on the patio."
"Bullshit!"
That and John Beard telling the guy applying makeup to him, "I'm a man, don't make it look like makeup."

I think the raccoon bullshit line is probably the most applauded in this thread. No one talks about "hey officers are you here for the rac---.." that one got me more than the bullshit line.
Why is this funny? I don't get it, someone explain.

Just finished it. I sorta lost track of what episode I was up to and after the end I was surprised. They left a lot of stuff hanging.
Overall it was okay I guess. I appreciated how everything was knitted together and understand how it will probably be better on a re-watch, but I honestly just don't think it was as funny as the original run. I think people in this thread are actually underestimating just how funny the original seasons were on first watch. Sure you had to rewatch to get all the subtle jokes and references, but for me at least that wasn't what made the show great to begin with. It was the hilarious, fantastic comedy writing. I just don't think this season had that to anywhere near the same level.

Who else loved the end credits song of the final episode. Somehow so fitting, having reaching the end of a great season.
It's Boomerang by Lucy Schwartz by the way...

The latter if permitted by Mahvel ;P
Man this show is so rewarding to rewatch.

I've watched it once myself, made it to episode 13 with my Mom and Stepdad, Episode 10 with my sister, and now my Dad is on episode 3. I'm enjoying it more and more each time.

Ive been doing 1-3 eps a day the last few days on the second run through, up to maeby now. I agree its definitely better upon repeat viewings, especially the first few episodes. I think it was just a lot to process, feeling like "fuck im actually watching new arrested development" to starting at the present and then filling in holes. The timeline did not help those first few episodes, but after you know the story its so much more enjoyable. The geroge Sr ep is among my favorites now.
