Mr. Gone posted:It's the setup for the joke, that line is a great punchline the way it's delivered T-Bone's delivery is fantastic, he sounds so pleased with his work.  That line, combined with the scene of GOB slowly backing away from the burning banana stand, always manages to convince new viewers how great the show is.

strwrsxprt posted:I hope the possibility of an Arrested movie means we'll get a Blu-Ray release of the series. I'd love it if they went back and did some more commentary tracks. As it stands now, they're disappointingly sparse. This is one of the few cases where I'd be first in line to double-dip for a DVD. I've slowly become such a commentary junkie that I'm tempted to put it on even during the first viewing.

So as not to repeat someone else, I'll go with the videotape that has George Michael's Star Wars imitation and Student Body President campaign piece on it. Or Buster's hook, what a great mantle-piece item that would be. Or the Sword of Destiny. ...I should be going to bed but dammit I feel compelled to marathon the whole second season.

doctor thodt posted:The good news is they could film it for pittance and turn a profit no matter how few people show up to the theaters. Considering how many people were introduced to the show on DVD after the show was off the air, I wouldn't be surprised if the number of people who pay to see it in theaters is greater than the number of people who saw the most-watched episode.

burnsep posted:Does anyone know where I can get a .gif of Michael's face at 6:25 of season 1 episode "Shock and Aww"? Don't have my DVD set right now so I'm not sure which gif you're looking for, but Aatrek created and hosts a ton of great gif's from AD and other shows.

Jerusalem posted:That does remind me though, their composite sketch of what they thought the hold-out Richter twin might look like was fantastic. As was the "3D" shot of the tough-guy Richter storming into the house. "He's in complete control of the situation."

Tender Bender posted:I liked how in either the first or second episode, Lucille is discussing George using company money and says something like "Even I've dipped into the Kitty now and then." In a season 2 episode, a flashback shows George being roasted by an employee who refers to him banging Kitty as "Dipping into the Kitty," while Lucille is present. The implication is that George had lied to Lucille that "dipping into the Kitty" meant using company funds for personal reasons... and the initial incident of Lucille using the phrase makes no sense until you've seen this episode a season later. I want to say that "dipping into the kitty" is an actual phrase, albeit rare to use and/or out-dated, because I got the gist of it way back in Season 1. Most of the top google hits are AD quote sites, but a few pages down it shows up in a lot of CNN and other financial articles. Anyways, the point it that it's incredible that either 1) they had the foresight to include that line knowing the assistant would be named Kitty, or 2) they kept an updated list of things like that, not necessarily knowing how they would call back to it, but they would it at all possible. I'm sure most of the callbacks are in category 1, but either way it's incredible writing.

Watched the pilot live, really enjoy it, also happened to tape it. The next Sunday I convinced a friend to watch my tape of the pilot just before the new episode aired. We thought we had it had peaked with FIRE....sale. And then we thought nothing could top GOB slinking away on his Segway. And finally they end with George yelling "There's always money in the banana stand!" and we were hooked for life. Fox's scheduling hosed me over a few times, but I saw all of Seasons 1 and 3 live. The latter half of Season 2 required DVDs.

Brosa Parks posted:Which episode was it where GOB makes some revelation to himself about Michael, and then realizes it means Michael has betrayed him? His line to himself is hilarious, he goes "Michael! Michael." Pretty sure it's the end of the Marta storyline when he figures out who Hermano was. Edit: Actually maybe it's when he's talking to his short-lived wife and he keeps getting confused as to who she is talking about. They're sitting at a table and it's a flashback thing.

Pier Pressure has the two Gob-Michael conversations in the backyard. First Gob suggesting George Michael is a pot-head, and then Michael coming back outside to see Gob cough out some smoke and mutter "...cold outside". Sheer genius.

Dr_Amazing posted:I think I must be the only person that completly fell for the Rita is a spy thing. The truth is so obvious in retrospect. I think that people who discovered the show later, and binged through it on DVDs/Hulu/etc were more likely to accept the notion that she was a spy. Back when it first aired and there was a week to go over every joke and sight gag, I think the thread concluded she was retarded really early on. Like her first episode perhaps. Either way, hilarious.

big business sloth posted:If you like AD and you haven't seen The Larry Sanders Show, you're just a goddamn fool well that's what. Seriously people, Tambor kills it every episode of this show to the point where you won't watch AD again without thinking of him as Hank Kingsley. Also Rip Torn's character is possibly one of the best in television history Got any particular episodes to recommend? If I dig it I'm sure I'll eventually binge through from 1x01, but for now a classic or two would be great.
