Arrested Development	comment	Originally airing from 2003 to 2006, Arrested Development is a single-camera Sitcom, which follows the farcical exploits of a wealthy family grappling with the loss of their fortune as the family patriarch is arrested for numerous dubious dealings involving the family business. The show's tone is quick-witted and fast-paced, tempered with a voice-over documentary-style narrationnote provided by producer Ron Howard and coupled with Running Gags, Brick Jokes, nested flashbacks, and other complex narrative structures.Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) is the Only Sane Man in a family that doesn't know how to live frugally; he is trying to keep the company afloat and the family together, but his siblings live their lives on a whim. His older brother GOB (George Oscar Bluth II — pronounced "jobe", like the biblical Jobnote although GOB himself doesn't know the correct pronunciation of the Biblical Job) (Will Arnett) is a mostly incompetent magician who performs illusions. Michael's twin sister Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) is a fair-weather activist for whatever cause happens to catch her attention at any given moment; her husband, Tobias FÃ¼nke (David Cross), is a disgraced psychiatrist turned disgraceful actor (and appears to everybody but himself to be a thinly closeted gay man). Michael's younger brother, Byron "Buster" Bluth (Tony Hale) is a bizarre Manchild who still lives with his mother, Lucille (Jessica Walter), who is constantly drinking and critical of everything and everyone. Michael's father, George (Jeffrey Tambor), is under arrest for fraud and embezzlement, as well as under investigation for "light treason", and is enjoying his time in prison. Finally, Michael's well-behaved, but also quite awkward and confused son, George-Michael (Michael Cera), and Tobias and Lindsay's rebellious and Street Smart daughter, Maeby (Alia Shawkat), frequently find the rest of the family ignorant of the Unresolved Sexual Tension between them.The show was brought back for a fourth season on May 26, 2013, exclusive to Netflix. It uses character-focused episodes and Anachronic Order to bring the viewers up to speed on the missing five years of the family's lives. A chronological recut of Season 4 aired on May 3, 2018. This was followed on the 27th of that month by the first half of Season 5 (which had been in Development Hell for a considerable period), which followed directly from the cliffhanger at the end of the previous season. The last half of that season, aired March 15, 2019. The series is presumed to have ended, as years have since passed without a definitive announcement; this is speculated to be due to factors including the sexual harassment accusations against Jeffrey Tambor that emerged in 2017 and the death of Jessica Walter in 2021.Not to be confused with the '90s rap group.

Arrested Development / int_22cf50f9	type	Chekhov's Gag
Arrested Development / int_22cf50f9	comment	Chekhov's Gag: Very commonly throughout the show. Each episode more or less consists of a series of these, typically coming together perfectly (for us) and horribly (for the Bluths) at the end. Prominently in Season 1 is George Sr admitting that he may have committed some "light treason." While originally assumed to be a one-off joke, never to be referenced again, at the end of the season we see that he did: by working with and building model homes for Saddam Hussein. A big one is the fear the children have of amputees because of their father using a one-armed man to teach traumatic "lessons" to them. You have to hand it to them, they really reached for every opportunity they could to foreshadow Buster's hand being severed off. All the jokes about Maeby's uncertain parentage or biological relation to George Michael (starting with her Meaningful Name) pay off when it's revealed that while she is indeed the biological daughter to Lindsay and Tobias, her mother isn't the biological daughter of George Sr. and Lucille. In "Best Man for the GOB" in Season 1, George Michael offers to accompany the FÃ¼nke family band on woodblock, calling himself "the human metronome" based on his punctuality, which Maeby disputes. George Michael's flawed sense of rhythm and timing come back in Season 4, as does his favor of the woodblock, as his entire story springs from trying to develop a woodblock app.

Arrested Development / int_23698fa8	type	Aborted Arc
Arrested Development / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: Many plot twists from the first three seasons are dropped, and often never mentioned again. For instance: "Hand To God": Maggie falls pregnant, for real this time, after sleeping with Michael again. However, this was meant to be a one-off as Julia Louis-Dreyfus wasn't expected to return to the show "Spring Breakout", which ended with Kitty coming into possession of a cooler containing George Sr.'s sperm. "Exit Strategy": The real Saddam Hussein was hiding in the Model Home in Iraq after all. invoked Mitch Hurwitz has stated that the "George Sr. turning into a woman" plot-line that Season 4 hinted at was discontinued in Season 5, as he felt it was too close to Jeffrey Tambor's role in Transparent. Ironically, that role was specifically written for Tambor, making it possible that that the entire show was partially inspired by his performance in Arrested Development (and thus by an arc that it ultimately caused to be dropped).

She even has a rivalry with Lucille Austero's running mate Sally Sitwell, reflecting her father's with Stan Sitwell and her mother's with Lucille Austero. Sally Sitwell is revealed to have alopecia, much like her father Stan Sitwell. The season ends with Buster getting arrested like Lucille was earlier in the season.

Arrested Development / int_26eb6287	type	Funny Background Event
Arrested Development / int_26eb6287	comment	Funny Background Event: The show has several of these, many of them being auditory as opposed to the usual visual. Most are also a Rewatch Bonus, as they won't be noticed the first time around. Some of these include: In the stinger of "Motherboy XXX", GOB is meeting with a judge to get his marriage annulled, and while the narrator says, "GOB can admit he never consummated their marriage," GOB can clearly be heard at the same time saying, "We never sonsummated this marriage." A combination of this and Running Gag: During Tobias' Blue Man Group storyline, blue paint can be seen smeared all over the house in the background of other scenes. In "Let Em Eat Cake", Tobias tells Lindsay he's going to run the shower to see if it's too loud in the kitchen. Lindsay begins to have a conversation with Michael, and in the middle of it one can hear the squeak of a pipe turning on and water rushing, which Michael notices and looks horrified at. In "Fakin' It", when Michael announces that Franklin was put on the witness list, GOB runs off saying, "I gotta tell Franklin," which Michael clarifies to mean "get Franklin." As Michael continues speaking, GOB can be clearly heard in the other room saying, "Franklin, guess what?"

(It's an in-universe knockoff brand.) The show's soundtrack interestingly contains many musical examples of this, with composer David Schwarz creating Bland-Name versions of popular songs that would presumably be too expensive to license. "Free at last" stands in for George Michael's "Freedom". "Balls in the air" is a parody of Survivor's "Eye of The Tiger". "The Yellow Boat" plays as the Narrator explicitly states that "Yellow Submarine" was too expensive to get the rights to.

Hence it is revealed that "Fakeblock" is a simple wood block sound app, with him getting millions from investors as a result of an accidental "Fawlty Towers" Plot. When George Michael starts talking with his roommate about actually developing the idea, the response is affirming it is impossible.

It reaches Running Gag status in the storyline about the relationship between GOB and Tony Wonder, who believe themselves to be straight but are each pretending to be gay in an attempt to break the heart of the other, cumulating in both of them separately declaring that they're going to "destroy our life" by breaking up with the other when they mean to say "his life." We also find out that Tony, too, hears "The Sound of Silence" in his head in moments like this. Although he didn't intend it to be read that way, Lucille greets Tobias with "Hello, anus tart" in season 4. In "Sad Sack", Michael mentions that GOB twice tried to microwave a Ding Dong while it was still in its foil. Over the course of the episode, Barry is implied to do the same thing. Twice.

The family burns a lot of money sustaining Lindsay and Gob, two members of the family that bring in no money at all and don't even believe they need or should work for it; Lindsay being a liberal activist that spends her time jumping from one cause to another, while Gob is virtually useless in every job he takes and spends his time trying and failing to make it as a magician and spending the family money in expensive but unimpressive tricks. Even when George Sr. is arrested and they lose much of their access to money during the investigation, the family simply demands that Michael make money appear out of thin air.

Arrested Development / int_3297cfbb	comment	Evolving Credits: The second shot of the opening credits displays a picture of the family member whose legal issues are the season's focus: George Sr. in seasons 1 to 3, Lucille in season 4 and Buster in season 5. The family having fallen apart in season 4, the opening narration completely changes to highlight this fact. Season 5, in which the family comes together once more, reverts the opening narration to the original one. In the original cut of season 4, depending on the character who gets his/her Day in the Limelight, the narrator introduces the show as if he/she was the main protagonist. The subtitles on each character ("his brother" "his mother") change to be from that character's perspective as well. Each character also gets an additional instrument playing over the Theme Tune, and despite the season finale not being focused on the entire family, its Theme Tune has all the additional instruments combined. Not following the same concept, the season 4 remix has a yet another opening narration. Due to the revelation that Lindsay has been adopted, season 4 puts quotes around the word "twin" in her label "his twin sister." That's no longer the case in season 5. A very subtle one in season 5: the family picture at the beginning is slightly doctored to replace Buster's hook prosthetic with the skinless bionic hand he wears during the season's first few episodes. Season 5's opening credits start labeling Lindsay as "his aunt" once the family secret is revealed.

Aside from George Michael and possibly his father Michael, all the characters are incredibly self-centered and amoral people who (as the show's title implies) experience zero character development. And even Michael, especially later in the series, has a major Jerkass streak. It's even been theorized by some fans that Michael is actually every bit as selfish and amoral as the rest of the Bluth and Funke families but better at hiding it. Season 4 proves this theory to be correct.

Tony is secretly straight and just pretending to flirt, because he thinks GOB is gay as well and has a boyfriend with money. They both end up truly enjoying each other's company and developing feelings for each other - the Narrator says this is confused friendship, but after they're tricked into sex with each other GOB says the experience has confirmed he's in love. Troper bonus: literal full face masks are involved.

Arrested Development / int_447b77a5	comment	Along similar lines to the "Fawlty Towers" Plot, the overarching theme of the Bluth family history seems to be to try and use deception, guile, and blackmail to gather economic, social, political, or personal power and then lose it all horrifically when history intervenes. The entire plot of the series is set off when George's arrangement with the CIA and Iraq is torn apart by The War on Terror, in a parody of the unfolding Enron scandal of the time. The housing project they spent the initial run of the program failing to get off the ground was finally completed between season 3 and 4 — just in time for the housing bubble to burst, sparking the 2008 financial meltdown and great recession. Fakeblock, the Anti-Social Network, is already running into this during season 4, but George Michael is just taking his first steps down this path. Seems set to happen again with the wall central to season 4 and the political ambitions riding on it, this time to be derailed by the 2016 presidential election, as the wall was central to Donald Trumpâ€™s campaign.

When they discuss the idea that there is a mole with a listing device in the company in "Mr. F", the cameras focuses on each cast member, ending with George Sr.'s surrogate and then finally with a wide cast shot of the conference room with a studio mic hanging overhead that gets quickly pulled away. In Season 4, whenever footage from the original run is used, a watermark for "Showstealer Pro Trial Edition" is seen over it - a nod to the reduced budget on Netflix

In Season 3: Lindsay is actually Nellie, the Bluths' adopted daughter. Lucille has been behind almost all of the Bluth family's corruption from the start. Annyong has been working as a mole for the SEC to take down the Bluth family out of revenge. He succeeds. In Season 4: The "famous person" GOB is dating is Tony Wonder. Sally Sitwell is The Chessmaster behind most of the series' events. Perfecto is underage, making Maeby a registered sex offender like her father. Fakeblock doesn't exist, and is instead the result of a series of increasingly elaborate and dangerous lies on George Michael's part. George Michael is "George Maharis," Rebel Alley's other boyfriend. Lucille 2 was killed on the night of Cinco de Quatro and all of the Bluths have motives for the murder. In Season 5: Tobias had another family, including a grown son. The Bluths have kept the beach house where Tracy died without telling Michael. Lucille is responsible for George Sr's emasculation. Lindsay is related to the Bluths, she's Lucille's half sister. Buster is responsible for Lucille 2's death after all.

Soldiers are not free to wander out of basic training, nor are their family members permitted to wander in. There are no Army Basic Combat Training sites in California, or even in the southwest. No lawsuit has ever precluded drill sergeants from yelling at recruits. Basic training platoons do not get deployed to combat. The USO is not part of the military. No enlisted soldiers are permitted to skip basic combat training, unless they are transfers from the Marine Corps. Soldiers are not tricked into re-enlisting. Piloting drones requires almost half a year of specialised training, and in nearly every scene in which someone wears a uniform, even when they are supposed to be actual soldiers in-universe, the uniform is terribly, horribly wrong.

A late episode has Michael believe a prostitute is in fact his sister. She's played by Justine Bateman, Jason Bateman's sister. Bob Loblaw, played by Scott Baio, replaces Barry Zuckercorn, played by Henry Winkler as the Bluths' lawyer. Twice, characters make reference to old TV shows that Ron Howard was on as a child, prompting comments from the narrator, Ron Howard. Amy Poehler (then Will Arnett's wife) guest-starred as GOB's impulse-marriage wife with whom he has no chemistry or compatibility. This became a meta Brick Joke when Arnett appeared on Parks and Recreation as Poehler's blind date... with whom she has no compatibility. George Sr. claims, when shown a photograph of him shaking hands with Saddam Hussein, that he just thought he was meeting the guy who played the Soup Nazi. Guess who shows up a full season later playing a Saddam Hussein lookalike? In a flashback, a young Barry Zuckercorn is played by Max Winkler, Henry Winkler's son.

Arrested Development / int_7374ab13	comment	Once More, with Clarity: Several scenes in Season 4. Sometimes, it's even inverted, because a new question arises after something that the viewer is led to believe proves to be untrue. Michael coming home after Cinco de Quatro, turns out he was turned down by Lucille 2 and did not sleep with her, who was actually offended by the suggestion that she'd be so desperate to get laid that she'd let him off with paying U$700,000. George Michael can be seen talking with his roommate a lot about his Fakeblock app, only for the episode centered on him to confirm that these conversations were not at all related to a privacy/anti-piracy app. It was a woodblock simulator n the first one, and in the second, it was him trying to convince his roommate this app could be done. The negotiation over film rights between Michael and George Sr. At first, it seems that it's a scene where George Sr. tries to apologize and cash in a favor from his son only to reveal he got there by a coincidence, still trying to cash in a favor, since the first person to speak to Michael was actually Oscar. At a bus in India, Lindsay runs over a tourist and they all laugh about it, said tourist turns out to be Tobias and the accident ends up re-igniting his dream of being an actor. The meeting of Lindsay with her shaman is seen in a new light when it's revealed that the shaman is actually Maeby in disguise trying to guilt-trip her. While brief, the scene of Michael eyeing a red-head woman going into the elevator gets this when that woman turns out to be Lindsay. Maeby supporting her mother to go after Love as a way to get Marky out of prison is renewed in a sense when Maeby turns out to be pimping her mother out to him and is in fact arranging meetings she received money from him for. Maeby getting fired by George Michael from their Fakeblock alliance becomes this when Fakeblock turns out to be just a woodblock simulator app.

Arrested Development / int_758c3034	comment	Prison Rape: Referenced and played for humor several times: In one first season episode, George Michael is revealed to have watched an episode of Oz as a small child (having confused it for The Wizard of Oz), and is terrified of visiting his grandfather in prison as a result. In the third season of Arrested Development, George Bluth complains about being under house arrest with his wife (after having spent most of the first two seasons incarcerated): In the same episode, George Sr. gives a speech to troubled youth about life in prison, thinking that he's supposed to scare them straight (i.e. scared off drugs or gangs), but ends up describing prison rape to a group of gay youth who are expecting to be scared straight (i.e. scared into becoming heterosexuals). Needless to say, they are excited by the prospect of sweaty groping in the dark by buff men. It's also made fun of when Lindsay visits her father in prison during a previous season and is confused as to why none of the prisoners seem to be attracted to her. In season 4, the activist/terrorist Marky Bark expresses fear of being imprisoned, commenting that prison is like [a restaurant running on the barter system], except there's only one thing to swap. Possibly experienced by Tobias in a spell of imprisonment in the fourth season. He ends up as a registered sex offender, and the narration indicates that this status resulted in him being savagely beaten with a spoon. He also learned from his prison experiences the problem with calling himself an analrapist, and starts to call himself a theralyst instead.

The remix of season 4, as well as season 5, return to a more traditional, chronological storytelling, but are much more heavily serialized than the original three seasons. Season 5 got more lax with swear words, with the word "shit" (and its derivatives) being liberally used with no bleeping. Having aged, George Michael and Maeby now have their own adventures and storylines as grown-ups. While this has been partially the case for Maeby and her Hollywood career in the original show, it is new for George Michael.

Arrested Development / int_7b454a57	comment	White Sheep: Michael, George Michael and Buster are generally this in relation to the Bluth family. They are by far the most decent and the least manipulative and selfish. Contrasted to the others who are greedy and power-hungry, and generally hold very few morals. Tobias also fits into this trope, although slightly less so since his ideas of this don't necessarily comply with other people's ideas of this. Maeby too, as despite her rebellious nature, sheâ€™s mostly your everyday teenager looking to have fun and rarely stoops to the same lows her mother, grandparents, or GOB usually do (her â€œSurelyâ€� scam being the only real exception). Even her movie career doesnâ€™t really qualify as her only sin there is hiding it from her parents. In Season 4, this trope is deconstructed with all three of them: Michael becomes much more frustrated and selfish, abandons his family and eventually kicks almost all of them out of the movie, Buster is pushed far past his limits, and eventually punches Herbert Love in the face, and George Michael begins to show his natural Bluth traits, most notably the power of lying, and ends up digging himself deeper and deeper, and eventually punches his father in the face after he finds out that he was lying to him. Not to mention the fact that they're all implied to have motives for Lucille 2's murder. As for Tobias and Maeby, they both finish the season off as sex offenders.

Arrested Development / int_82b4f38e	comment	Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Generally speaking, Michael and George Michael are the only characters on the show who are good people trying to do the right thing. The rest of the family have differing degrees of selfishness and jerkass behavior, starting with how Lucille and George manipulate the family to their own ends to how oblivious and self-absorbed Lindsay, Tobias and GOB can be. Buster and Maeby are in a middle ground, while maybe not as mean spirited, Buster is very needy to the point of being The Load and Maeby regularly wanders off in her own schemes due to being ignored. Even still Michael, for all he tries to be a good person and caring father, occasionally succumbs to hypocrisy and selfishness. This is Lampshaded in "S.O.B.s" where In-Universe the family is trying to look better for investors and is filled with meta-references to both how the characters are unlikable and how it has affected the shows ratings. In season 4, without the rest of their family to make them look better by comparison, both Michael and, to a lesser extent, George-Michael succumb to this.

The wall, which is not built, not able to be built due to George Sr not having the land, and is still being backed by Herbert Love's campaign. Lindsay is going to run for Congress after Herbert Love fell into a coma. Sally Sitwell's scheme with Tony Wonder. GOB and Tony Wonder's relationship Tobias was caught in Marky Bark's explosion. Lucille had just requested a real divorce with George Sr. We're still not done with Lucille's arrest just yet. Lucille was going to return to rehab after Tobias called her The Invisible Girl. Maeby is arrested for statutory rape of a student who she believed was an undercover cop who was of age. There was also a throwaway scene where the Spanish woman George-Michael had sex with during his stay as an exchange student in Spain shows her friends George-Michael's "Star Wars Kid" video before standing up to reveal a baby bump. Is George-Michael the father? Will Michael become a grandfather? George Michael and Maeby's potential relationship. George Michael seems to have been targeted by Anonymous. George Michael punched his father and they were at a stare down. Buster is arrested for Lucile 2's murder We have no idea who played The Thing in Fantastic 4: The Musical, since Tobias gave the costume to Buster, and Buster left it on the ground.

Arrested Development / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Arrested Development / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Buster losing his hand in a seal attack and replacing it with a claw is foreshadowed from the very beginning: In the very first episode, Michael's mother complain that someone cut the foot off her fox fur. Count how many times in the 1st and 2nd season we see Buster alongside artificial hands. After discovering that his hand chair was given to Lupe's family, Buster says "I never thought I'd miss a hand so much"- a full six months before he does. The second season premier features a newscast which briefly mentions a seal attack. He also wins a stuffed seal from a claw machine. And briefly imitates the claw with his left hand In the second season premier, George Michael mistakenly thinks Michael is saying Aunt Lindsay is not his real aunt when he was only talking about her nose being fake. And let's not forget "The Immaculate Election", where GOB "helps" George-Michael by attacking his candidacy opponent (Steve Holt), by pointing out that Steve doesn't even know who his father is, while simultaneously reminiscing about the anti-abortion girlfriend he had didn't have in high school. Well, Steve Holt's parentage gets revealed during The Tag. Guess who.... In "Sword of Destiny", Buster briefly uses a semi-realistic plastic hand instead of his hook. This is more of a plot point in "Righteous Brothers", the Season 2 finale, where it causes Oscar, mistaking it for Buster's real hand, to burn himself on the corn baller and injure himself while Buster is ironing. While these two events are insignificant at the time, they lead to Buster discovering that Oscar is his real father, and a fingerprints-less Oscar being unable to prove his identity while being held in prison. The fact that Rita is mentally disabled in Season 3 is almost too obvious on a second viewing. "For British Eyes Only" begins with a flashback to an earlier conversation where Michael responds to his son telling him he has a stupid girl problem with: "I don't even have a girl, much less a stupid one." Later that day Michael meets Rita. The same discussion prompts the Narrator, after George Michael replies "The problem's stupid, the girl's not stupid", to comment that if they had a child it would be. It is stated that the reason for Rita's disabilities is that her parents were cousins. Another incidence foreshadowing the same reveal is when Rita sits on a bus stop bench that says "Wee Britain" in a way that it ends up appearing as "Wee Brain". Trevor confronts Michael, asking "How would you like someone going after some stupid person in your family?" Maeby is introduced as "[George Michael]'s cousin, Maeby," which could also be written as "[George Michael]'s cousin, maybe." A running plot point is George Michael desperately trying to find evidence that they aren't truly related. In the third season, there are several foreshadows revolving around Michael's mysterious sister N. Bluth which resolves to show that Lindsay is really 3 years older than Michael and adopted, therefore making Maeby biologically unrelated to the Bluths. It's then revealed, much later, she's actually Lucille's half-sister, making Maeby his first cousin once removed. GOB says he "could be a father" in "Best Man for the GOB". He is. Posters for the Surely FÃ¼nke fundraiser can be seen in the school in the background in "Shock and Aww", three episodes before this scam of Maeby's becomes a plot point. One of Maggie Lizer's first lines is a pun on her name: "Maggie Lies-'er ass off!" Ironically, she wasn't lying by saying that- lying her ass off turns out to be her primary defining trait, as she is not only faking blindness but also fakes a pregnancy later on due to a surrogacy scam she's pulling and also lies that it's Michael's child to manipulate him. Michael notices similarities between the model home and the palaces of Saddam Hussein in "Shock and Aww." "Missing Kitty" shows that George Sr. has a cooler of evidence stamped with "H. MADDAS" on the side. To drive the hint home, the first shots of it sometimes show the cooler reflected in a nearby mirror... In one episode, Michael and George Michael are shown retrieving the banana stand from the water, which is stated to be a common occurrence. The dredged-up stand has clearly visible graffiti on it saying "I'LL GET YOU BLUTH" that isn't addressed. The end of Season 3 reveals that Annyong and his family have held a grudge against George Sr. since his banana stand took Annyong's grandfather's idea and ruined him, and Annyong works as a mole to expose the truth behind the family's illegal activity as revenge. In hindsight, it becomes likely that the offscreen Annyong wrote the graffiti on the stand as the very first hint in the show of this plot. The first mention of Tony Wonder in "Good Grief" foreshadows his and GOB's relationship in season 4. He doesn't appear in the episode except for a picture in Poof magazine - which GOB holds up, saying "I should be in this Poof!", right after obliviously (?) and repeatedly hitting on a male employee. For a Freeze-Frame Bonus, the magazine article text compares Tony Wonder to Liberace. GOB foreshadows his entire plot arc for Season 4 in "Flight of the Phoenix" while trying to guess why Michael is in such a panic. Chronologically, this would have happened right after he slept with Tony Wonder.

By the end of the season, Lucille Austero is dead/missing, Buster is going to be arrested, Tobias and Maeby are registered sex offenders, George Michael and Michael are at odds (not to mention very corrupted), George Sr. is a woman, and Lindsay has made a complete 180 in political stance and has access to a congressman's riches. But then, come season 5, and most of them have reverted to their old selves, except for Lindsay, who decides to find her biological parents and leaves.

George Michael almost single-handedly runs the frozen banana stand that's the family's only steady source of income while Maeby bluffs her way into a studio producer job which she succeeds in until discovered (through George Michael's gaffe, so even the kids aren't perfect) She gets it back when Hollywood execs go nuts over the teenage wonder, so in this case the adult cluelessness works in her favor.

Arrested Development / int_ac4ac8e5	comment	Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Every episode's title rides somewhere within the scope of Double-Meaning Title, Pun-Based Title or Homage: "Public Relations": Michael hires a woman to handle public relations for the Bluth family, then after dating her finds their relationship becoming very public. "Making a Stand": GOB makes a banana stand, then unites with Michael to make a stand against their father. "Exit Strategy": The penultimate episode of the initial series' run, in which the Bluths go to war-torn Iraq (argued to be war-torn due to a lack of an exit strategy) to find the evidence that exonerates their father (giving the show an exit strategy). "Justice is Blind": Maggie Lizer's dog Justice is blind and Maggie can see. "Queen for a Day": For the one day that Tobias owns the bar "The Queen Mary" he has it (accidentally) renamed "Tobias is Queen Mary". "Missing Kitty": George Sr.'s secretary Kitty is missing. The first two episodes of the second season ("The One Where Michael Leaves" and "The One Where They Build A House") are titled with the Idiosyncratic Episode Naming of Dueling Show Friends. The following episode is called "Â¡Amigos!", which means â€œFriendsâ€� in Spanish. The episode "Good Grief", centered around the Bluths' different reactions to hearing about the "death" of George Sr. This episode features homages to Peanuts including a beagle lying on the roof of a red doghouse, using music directly from the Charlie Brown specials, being titled after main character Charlie Brown's catchphrase and the Charlie Brown Depressed Walk wherein the character walks slowly with their head down with the aforementioned music, just like in the specials. "Family Ties": Michael Bluth (played by Jason Bateman) investigates into whether or not a woman he just met has family ties to him as his sister. She is played by Justine Bateman, who has family ties to Jason Bateman (she's his sister), and also starred as Mallory Keaton on the TV show "Family Ties".

Especially in Season 4. Maeby's standard deflection of "Marry me!" started when somebody pointed out that she seemed a little young to be a movie executive. She realized she needed a new deflection when somebody responded "Okay!" When she needed to seem younger, it was "Babysit me!" She once said "Marry me!" to her uncle Michael... which wasn't as bad as when Michael used it. Oscar: His cries of "I'm Oscar... dot com!" after George Sr tricks him into getting sent to jail.

Arrested Development / int_b11ac9f5	type	Abusive Parents
Arrested Development / int_b11ac9f5	comment	Abusive Parents: George Sr. and Lucille Bluth have treated all of their children with varying degrees of abuse, which continued (to an extent) well into their adulthood: Michael and GOB were constantly played against each other (and occasionally manipulated into physically fighting each other. The fights were videotaped and sold as Boyfights) because George believed it to be a way of preparing them for conflict in life. They were also constantly undermined to keep them working for George's approval (GOB's desire to pursue a career in magic is constantly mocked, and his parents make it clear that he is The Unfavorite; Michael had a ridiculously extreme work ethic instilled in him, and George would often shoot down his ideas for the family business, regardless of what he thought of them). Lindsay is often reminded of the fact that she has never really achieved anything, and Lucille constantly makes cracks about her weight and has since she was very young. Her abuse is probably the darkest when it is learned that she is adopted, and Lucille admits they didn't want her and only adopted her to spite Stan Sitwell, who had been trying to adopt her himself. In season 5 we learn that Lucille's mother abused her the same way with constant (inaccurate) insults about her appearance. Buster was made to have a crippling overdependence on his mother, only for her to discard him whenever she considers him to be an inconvenience or imposition; George is also highly disdainful of his lack of independence and maturity. With her adult children, Lucille is shown to have no remorse about turning them against each other with false secondhand quotations and accusations to ensure that her children won't get along well enough to be allied against her. George would also traumatize his children by making them associate certain unwanted behaviors with severe mutilation, in order to teach them "lessons" (such as leaving a note when they run out of milk). They have also spoiled all of their children except Michael to the point that they have virtually no work ethic, which most of the siblings seem to consider a form of abuse. Tobias and Lindsay neglect Maeby so much she practically ruins her own life just to get their attention. Michael unwittingly neglects, manipulates, deceives, confuses, and guilt trips George Michael increasingly over the seasons, leading to them falling out in season 4.

Arrested Development / int_c335b9ec	type	Irony
Arrested Development / int_c335b9ec	comment	Irony: A Real Life example. A factor that greatly contributed to Arrested Development's humor and uniqueness (and eventual cult status) was the high level of Continuity between episodes and the innumerable brick jokes, callbacks, and running gags present throughout the series that rewarded longtime viewers and, in the process, helped set it apart from the myriad of other sitcoms it competed against. However, many people now believe that it was this level of continuity that at least partly accounted for Arrested Development's perpetually low ratings. Most sitcoms, due to their episodic nature, allow a viewer to jump right in and enjoy the humor without being confused by the plot. On the other hand, many first-time viewers may have abandoned Arrested Development after getting lost in the plot and/or being confused by the self-referential jokes. Since then, premium-based or streaming sitcoms have taken cue from this, appealing to a more loyal core fan base rather than a widespread general audience.

The "Season Four Remix: Fateful Consequences" version of the season re-edits every episode from the ground up (entire scenes play differently and has new narration) and places more emphasis on sequential order. The episodes were also reduced to a more traditional 24 minute run time compared to the longer 35 minute episodes of the original, resulting in more episodes total.

Arrested Development / int_c435ec5d	comment	Aesop Amnesia: It's part of the premise. Everyone character is, after all, in a state of arrested development. Michael frequently learns that he shouldn't be so overbearing toward George Michael and should let him have fun. He forgets this just as frequently. Probably deliberate since Michael is kind and well-functioning compared to his family, but is still pretty flawed. Similarly, there are several occasions when it dawns on Lindsay that she should actually pay attention to her daughter. By the next episode, she's gone back to being obliviously neglectful.

In response, Michael makes a plan to convince his father that the cartel have kidnapped him after Michael caught on and called the deal off to teach him a lesson. However, after GOB tells George Sr. the full details of the plan less than a minute into its setup, George Sr. plants his go-to scare tactic amputee J. Walter Weatherman in the group to give him a means to teach them a lesson about teaching their father a lesson. After finding out that GOB ruined their scheme, Michael gets into a fight with him which spills onto the balcony, where Michael falls over the railing. Once George Sr. runs out to the balcony in shock, Michael comes up from his hiding place behind the railing to teach George Sr. the lesson about pitting GOB and him against each other that they had originally planned... at which point the police, investigating the commotion upstairs, break in and shoot Buster's hand off- his fake hand, which he had been passing off as his good hand by concealing his real hand under his hook all along, teaching them all the lesson he'd been trying to teach the entire episode about using amputees to scare people.

Arrested Development / int_e9f517e1	comment	Artistic License â€“ Geography: In-universe, everyone seems to think that Portugal is in South America. GOB also expresses the misinformed belief that Mexico and Colombia are the same place. This, in the Pilot: The US Army mistakes Tobias's testicles for a photograph of middle eastern countryside. They even seem to have aircraft flying to a specific, imaginary location based on this evidence. Wee Britain is a parody of ethnic enclaves where the lanes are swapped inside the district and they follow Greenwich Mean Time instead of Pacific Time. It goes without saying that the real ones located in the United States still have to follow US law.

In the 90s, Imagine Entertainment quickly cobbled together an extremely cheap and sloppy made Fantastic Four film, after Ron Howard was told at a company Christmas party by a drunk lawyer that Imagine would lose the license if they didn't do something with it within six days. The bartender team of the Christmas party was then hired to play the lead roles, and they were hired to tend bar again at the film's wrap party six days later.

When the name confusion is not being Played for Laughs, the show refers to her as Lucille Austero, or Lucille Two. To a lesser degree, there's a bit of a theme with the names of most of the male Bluths. There's George Oscar Sr, Oscar, George Oscar II ("GOB"), Michael, and George Michael. The only one to escape this is Buster. Tobias also has a brief relationship with a transvestite (whom he believes to be a woman) bodybuilder named Michael. There is, however, only one Steve: Steve Holt!

Simpson police chase. It isn't, and it wasn't. The Bronco was discontinued because of a combination of declining sales, safety concerns regarding the removable roof note In 1992, Ford began using Torx bolts instead of hex bolts and ceased publishing literature explaining removal was removed (because safety equipment such as the seat belts and third brake light were attached to the roof, it was no longer legally removable), though it was still physically possible to remove it. Conversely, Dodge redesigned the Ramcharger in 1981 to have a non-removable steel roof and GM did the same with the K5 Blazer/Jimmy in 1992 for similar reasons. and the increasing redundancy compared to the two-door, fixed roof Explorer coupled with the lack of a competitive product for the GM Suburban. The Bronco's replacement was the full size, four door Ford Expedition. This was done to make the pun about George Bluth's flee from justice.

In first episode during George Sr.'s retirement party, GOB hid his father in the tomb to hide him from the Securities and Exchange Commission. He hid behind the revolving door in the tomb, which kept him out of sight until the police dogs found him. This was broadcast in-universe on the FOX 6 news and GOB was subsequently kicked out of The Alliance of Magicians. The tomb continued to be part of GOB's blacklisted magic career and was used in "Public Relations" for his retirement home charity show. GOB hid Earl Milford in the tomb and Earl used the chance to escape the nursing home. The Aztec Tomb was stored in the model home's attic, where George successfully hid on multiple occasions, while on the lam.
