of bees posted:I actually didn't get that joke, what was he talking about there? There's an episode of Arrested Development where Michael Cera is hiding his his grandfather, who has escaped from prison, in the family attic. He has also recently gotten a girlfriend and nobody really understands why he's dating her.  Is she funny or something? His dad says he can't date her because he's not ready to have a girlfriend but really it's just that nobody likes her 'cause she's really weird. The family thinks his grandfather is dead and throws a funeral for him in the house. Michael Cera smuggles deviled egg hor's d'ouveres (gently caress spelling that I don't care) out of the party for his Grandfather, hiding in the attic. Given his girlfriend's love of eggs-  She sometimes takes a little pack of mayonnaise and she’ll squirt it in her mouth all over, and then she’ll take an egg and kind of… Mmmm! She calls it a “mayonegg”. - the family thinks he is secretly hiding his girlfriend in the attic. Eventually he comes clean with his father. "I have pop-pop in the attic" His fathers response: "I can tell by the fact you call it that that you're not ready." If you have not seen Arrested Development, I really really really suggest just jumping the gently caress in and buying the DVDs 'cause they end up being super cheap all the time. It's a show filled with constant callbacks and references not unlike MSPA. You won't catch half the jokes the first time around, either. Or the second. Or the third. It was the best situational comedy ever on television

What's interesting about Arrested Development, at least for the people in this thread, is that it likes to do the same sort of fractal-comedy that Homestuck does. A joke will go off, and it'll be okay. But then a few episodes later, they'll reference it in a completely different way which makes it even funnier. And they'll keep doing this. Also, it doesn't really rub your face in the jokes. Stuff will be going in the background that you won't pick up until your 3rd watching that makes poo poo even funnier.

Okay so the picture of John on the wall looks kinda shittyly drawn and pixellated. At first I was like "that's weird, I mean there is a standardly drawn Stuffed John right there". I think the joke is that since it is an older photograph, the resolution is lower? Kinda like a black and white photo for computer-drawn people.YggiDee posted:I love how casually Dad tosses around appliances I was sad when Equius died, solely because it meant there would be no STRONG-off between Dad and Equius

Plom Bar posted:Seriously, get on that poo poo. Pretty sure the whole series is on Netflix, and the DVDs are dirt cheap. I'm going to risk all of my carefully collected internet cred (none) and admit I did not enjoy Arrested Development at all. I found it way too cringe-inducing and the humour was far too reliant on the idea of a tolerant but flawed and put-upon family member having to put up with all of his family's crap when he should've ditched them ten minutes into the first episode. The whole thing was like a will-they-or-won't-they plot, only unlike those plots where there's some distant promise of movement, Arrested Development seemed trapped in a self-made family hell forever.

I really like the first season of Arrested Development but after that it just disappears up its own rear end and, worse than that, loses the heart and sincerity it started out with. The characters just become weird, unlikable vehicles for jokes, which for me doesn't really work in a sitcom. Some of the jokes are good but much of it just feels plastic and inhuman. Also I think the Anne thing is a terrible running gag and not funny at all. "Michael doesn't want his son to date a girl because she's plain" is like as shallow as the comedy wading pool goes.

So I guess when John grows up he's going to have a terrible mustache and look like a great big cornball? That's unfair of me, I suppose. Poppop Crocker is really more 'of his era'.
