Ok. I just don't watch TV shows any longer. I trust my blockhead friends will clue me in to something if it's really good, and I was right with this show. Plus, it's just better to wait until this shit shows up on DVD- no ads.

But yeah, this show is FUCKING HILARIOUS. And mmm... I wouldn't mind having a go of it with Portia de Rossi. The fact that David Cross is supposed to be her husband is hi-fucking-larious. That guy rules.

This show rocks. Post your agreement of it's rockitude. First person to disagree or cast apersions as to the rockitude of this show gets a swift punch to their genitals. You been warned!

 

[Socreges]

Anyone who would disagree clearly doesn't have enough genitalia to be punched.

It took me a couple episodes to warm to the show. I really needed to understand the family and the quirks to feel a lot of the jokes.

 

[Bigfoot]

I agree, this show rocks. It;s by far my favourite comedy on TV right now. However, I'm a little worried that it may not last... there are so many jokes in the new episodes that are like inside jokes to the fans of the first season. I've tried getting friends to watch it and they just don't get it... maybe I should lend them the season 1 DVD. You really have to watch a couple of episodes before you see the true genius of the show.

Michael: So this is the Aztec Tomb trick.
Gob: Illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money.

Once you really get to know the characters even the smallest thing becomes insanely funny (to me at least).

Last night we were watching the "Whistler's Mother" episode and the scene where Gob and Tobias leave the coffee shop after inadvertantly impressing Michael with their business plan and just the way they walk out the door had me laughing so hard I had to rewind and pause because I missed the next 30 seconds. :lol Shit, just thinking about the two member of Gobias Industries cracks me up at work.

Tobias: I’m afraid this offer comes off the table at midnight tonight.
Michael: That may be the worst bluff I’ve ever seen.



Similarly, the way the surprisingly agile Tobias leaps on Gob's back to demonstrate his cat-like moves also had me laughing hysterically for ages.

 

[firex]

this show is so funny, but I don't think I can describe it well. On paper it sounds so formulaic but the cast is just hilarious. when the humor isn't just standard wit (which is still really good and miles above the rest of what's on network tv, at least here in the states) it's just hilariously absurd.

Some of my favourite quotes:

Lucille: Everyone's laughing, and riding, and cornholing except Buster.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Michael is asked to take over the family business]
Michael: I'm moving to Phoenix. I got a job.
[There is an awkward silence]
Michael: Something you apply for and they pay you to... Never mind, I don't want to ruin the surprise.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[after the publicist has just told the family that Michael is the most likeable member of the family]
Publicist: There are very few intelligent, attractive and straight men in this town.
Tobias Funke: Well, that leaves me out.
[Silence, everyone stares]
Tobias Funke: She did say single, right? I-I-I thought she said single.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buster: We're excavating a pterodactyl.
[plainly shows a human skull; Buster accidentally hits and breaks it with a hammer]
Buster: That was 90% gravity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucille Bluth: Did that Mexican girlfriend of yours kick you out.
Gob: No, she didn't, and plus she's not Mexican, she's Colombian or something.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buster: No mother, I can blow myself. You've interfered for the last time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Gob is leaving his and Marta's house]
Marta: Te Quiero.
Gob: English, please.
Marta: I love you.
Gob: Great, now I'm late.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gob: My gut is telling me no... but my gut is also very hungry.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George Sr.: You should have seen the face he made when - well, he's my twin brother, I'll show you!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[on the phone]
George Michael: Hello, Bluth Company.
George Sr.: Talk me off, honey. Talk me off.
George Michael: Talk you off what, PopPop?
George Sr.: Oh, George Michael! I thought you were - when's that voice gonna drop? Put Kitty on the phone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[answering the phone]
George Michael: [very quickly] Bluth-Company-George-Michael-speaking-not-Kitty.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Buster has shown up at his father's hearing with a mariachi band]
Lucille: Oh, for God's sake. He's out of the house for two days and he joins a gang.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Micheal: There's more to life than strippers and booze and buckets of blood. Why do you guys have buckets of blood?
Gob: It's not real blood. It's corn syrup and red dye... juice.
Buster: There's unlimited juice? This party is gonna be off the hook!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bluth: Why are you squeezing me with your body?
Lucille Bluth: It's a hug, Michael. I'm hugging you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[flashback to George Sr. driving a younger Michael, Gob, and Buster]
George Sr.: We're out of milk. I could have got it earlier if someone would have left a note.
[suddenly he runs down J. Walter Weatherman and his fake arm comes off]
George Sr.: [poorly acting] Why? If someone had left a note, this innocent man would still have his arm! Why?
[the kids scream as Weatherman comes up to them]
J. Walter Weatherman: And that's why you always leave a note.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gob: Gilligan killed the Skipper - I mean, the stripper!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael: We're gonna go on a fishing trip.
George Michael: Why? What did I do?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maeby: [as Surely] No more BS! No more BS!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gob: Michael, you have a chance to save this family. Please, do the right thing here - string this blind girl along so that Dad doesn't have to pay his debt to society.
Barry: The solution to all our problems is staring you in the face and it can't even see you!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael: So this is the Aztec Tomb trick.
Gob: Illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money...
[sees children watching his magic]
Gob: ... or candy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael: [discussing evidence that links George Sr. to Saddam Hussain] If this information was so damaging, why didn't you just shred it?
George Sr.: Well, Saddam owed us money.
Michael: And you didn't realize that he wouldn't pay?
George Sr.: You mom had a good feeling about him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lindsay Funke: Barry, did you talk to a doctor?
Barry Zuckerkorn: I did. I have poison oak. Do you believe it? How the hell did I get that?
[Cut to a shot of a rest area]
Lucille Bluth: She was talking about George.
Barry Zuckerkorn: Oh, he's the same. Look, I guess we should decide on who's going to speak for the family. I would, but I have Laker tickets.
[Cut to a shot of the rest area]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lindsay Funke: I'm saying every time something starts to go well for you, you blow it.
Tobias Fünke: Nothing has ever gone well for me, and you know that.
Lindsay Funke: That's my point, you...
[sees Mabey]
Lindsay Funke: ... handsome cowboy, you.
Tobias Fünke: Oh, great. And now you're mocking me. You selfish coun-
[Notices Mabey]
Tobias Fünke: ... try music loving lady. Hello, Maeby.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buster: [about Lucille] It's like she gets off on being witholding.
Michael: Whoa. Buster.
Gob: Look who's got something to say.
Buster: [impersonating Lucille] I'm Mom and I want to shoot down everything you say so I feel good about myself.
[everyone laughs]
Gob: Look who's ragging on the old lady.
Buster: Cause I'm an uptight
[long bleep]
Buster: Buster
[Long bleep]
Buster: ... you old horny slut!
Michael: [pause] Well, no one's going to top that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucille: Oh, hello, Buster. Here's a candy bar. No, I'm withholding it. Look at me, "getting off. "

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucille: Look what they've done, Michael! Look what the homosexuals have done to me!
Michael: You can't just comb that out and reset it?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Barry has a hooker with him during "Take Your Daughter to Work Day"]
Michael: I didn't know you had a daughter.
Barry Zuckerkorn: I don't.
Charlotte: I thought you wanted me to call you Daddy.
Barry Zuckerkorn: Why don't you wait for Daddy in the car?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

GENE PARMESEAN! AHH! He gets me everytime!

 

[Bob White]

I don't know it word for word, but I remember Kitty saying something about somebody walking across a dirty floor with condom's on their feet.

Good, hopefully this will liven up the weekly AD episode threads.
