If you did not watch AD, he is a good recap:

sixstring wrote:
1) Arrested Development. Funniest. show. ever. Also driest. show. ever.
It's about the only still normal person in a completely dysfunctional family, of which the patriarch is imprisoned for fraud.
It's not a laugh-per-minute with laugh track show like 2 and a half men. But a series with a lot of subtle jokes that get referred to and used again in new contexts. This means the further the show gets, the funnier it gets.
This means the more you watch it, the more you discover. The second time you watch it's already so much funnier, and it just gets better with every watchthrough.


Beware, there may be spoilers!

So, what is your favorite AD quote from the 3 first seasons?

Mine is:
GOB: She's not that Mexican, Mom. She's my Mexican. And she's Colombian or something. Anyway, it's over.
(S01E03)

And here is one I only understood yesterday (well, english is not my first language and i'm an aspie):
Michael to GOB: Get rid of the Seaward.
Lucille to Michael: I’ll leave when I’m good and ready.
(S02E03)

There are just far too many. Every episode has comedy gold.

A couple, top of my head
'Are you actually going to buy something, or are you just curious like last time?'
"You could say I'm buy-curious"

'Today at the restaurant, you were ashamed to be with me!'
"No, I was ashamed to be *seen* with you, I like being with you!"
'You are such a coward!'
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? Shhh... I think I hear my mom"
*How can you say that?*

"There have been lots of lies in this family."
'And lots of love.'
"More lies."

"That's his new girlfriend."
'Her? Is she like really funny or something?'
"I hope so."

"Who wants a banger in the mouth? Oh right, here you call it a sausage in the mouth."
'Actually we just call it a sausage.'

"Steve Holt is a bastard. He doesn't even know who his real father is. What else don't we know about Steve Holt. *creepy video*
George Micheal is a cool guy. His father is a powerful business executive, who works for this man.
The ladies like him, old or young, it doesn't matter... in the dark."
'Wait that's why you made me to that?'

Michael: So this is the magic trick, huh?

Michael: You’re wearing ostrich-skin boots.
Lindsay: Well, I don’t care about ostriches.
S01E04

Lucille: Get me a vodka rocks.

"Worst that can happen is that I spill some on my 3000 dollar suit, come on!
Right right, like the guy in the 4000 dollar suit is gonna hold the elevator for the guy who doesn't even make that in 3 months, come on!
No Al, I want to spill booze all over my freaking 6300 dollar suit, come on!"

"I don't want people's kids putting their sticky little hands all over my twenty-six hundred dollar pants"
'Oh you think they'll go right for the pants do you?'
"Okay okay okay so should should should sh sh should shoulda shoulda should should should sh..."

Haha, you took some liberties with the first one, maybe you mixed up with:

Gob: I did the right thing, Michael. If I didn't fire them, how could I teach a lesson to the others?
Michael: There are no others. You fired everyone.
Gob: Oh, that's great. The guy who's dirty dancing with his niece is telling the guy in the $3,600 suit... how to... run the business... *pause* Come on!

OMG, this sitcom is so amazing!

There are scenes between every time he says a line like that, but they're all literal quotes from some part in the episode.

'No no no it's pronounced ah-nal-rap-ist.'
"It wasn't really pronunciation that bothered me.

Oh, I was just talking about numbers, it was not $6300 but $5000 (it is easier for me to remember numbers than words).

Same episode anyway:
Tobias: You're forgetting, Lindsay, that as a psychiatrist, I was a professional twice over: an analyst and a therapist. The world's first analrapist.

*Buster makes a lot of jokes about his missing hand*
"Go on, ask for her hand."
'And maybe if I'm lucky, I can get one for my brother too.'
"Get.him.out of here. GET THE F*** OUT OF MY ROOM! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
'Micheal what the hell is wrong with you?!'

I have just seen this episode again!

Lucille: How's my son?
Doctor: He's going to be all right.
?: Thank God.
Lindsay: Finally some good news from this guy. No other way to take that.
Doctor: That's a great attitude. I gotta tell you. If I was given this news, I don't know that I'd take it this well.
Lucille: But you said he was all right.
Doctor: Yes. He's lost his left hand, so he's going to be "all right."
Lucille: You son of a b***h! I hate this doctor!
Michael: He's a very literal man...

"It looks like he's dead..."
*gasp* OH MY GOD
'Wait... is he really dead or does it look like he's dead?'
"It looks like he's dead, he's covered in blue paint or something."

Doctor: He just, uh, got away from us. I'm sorry.
Michael: Can we go in there?
Doctor: If you want, not a lot to see.
Michael: Maybe not for you, but for us...

Michael: I think they're called Colombians.
GOB: Oh, I forgot we're being politically correct now.

"I got a job in Phoenix"
*Everyone looks confused.*
"Something you apply for, and then they pay you to, uh... Never mind. I don't want to ruin the surprise."

Dr. Stein: I've shortened your calf muscles to theoretically increase your jumping ability. But if it works, I could be the best in the world!
Michael: I want the other doctor back.

Only one episode to go, this will be a loooooooooong week...
