The Funniest Show Ever
I really miss Arrested Development. My friend Stephanie sends out a trivia question every morning and today's question was about the Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand. I started thinking about the show again and how fantastically funny it was. I loved this show because it had my favorite type of humor, the Callback. The same jokes were played out over and over again and each time they were funnier. Every time Lindsey wore the "Slut" shirt, every time the banana stand got destroyed, every time someone cadoodled like a chicken, every time Buster's hand fell off it was funnier than the last. Here are some of my favorite memories of Arrested Development:
- Buster falls from the zip line when his hook falls off.
- Tobias and George Michael destroy tiny town
- Lucille drives through the company party on the pier and can't stop because her car slips on the banana peal
- Mrs. Featherbottom's song about frosting
- Michael gets hit by the Poppins
- Buster gets attacked by a sheep in a photo booth
- Henry Winkler jumps over the shark on the pier
- Justine Bateman's introduction speech to the Bluth company
- And my favorite moment: George Sr., Lucille, and Lindsey all crow like chickens at the same time
