Definitely the best "Ann" line. That and.. "Way to plant, Ann!" "Why don't you and plain go wait over there..." This show wouldn't have been 1/4 as good without Jason Bateman as the "straight man"
I think it’s generally more well intentioned than Lucille but certainly cut from the same cloth. The GM-Ann situation was the closest he came to his mother though lol
Lol yep. The more you watch arrested development, the more you realize that Michael might be the worst of the family, because he's just as selfish but thinks he's better than them.
@ I sit on the fence with it. Theres times where he is absolutely no better than them and this was one of them. However he does seem to have genuine affection and generally seems to value caring for his family which is a value that is... debatably present in the rest. I tend to think he's not as bad as you fear half way through the series but not as good as you think at the start. Which tbh makes him the most human of the bunch
A lot of jokes that aren't on one TV show will eventually end up being on some other show. But Arrested Development is so different. If AD hadn't been on, there NEVER would have been a "mayonegg" joke, much less one so GD funny.
I will never get over how brilliant the "Ann hog" bit is. You think it's just a little throw away line, then they drop, "Check out who's riding that hog in the rearview mirror." It's so beautiful.
Omg I didn’t catch that the first time! I guess it was because there was time elapsed between the two jokes so you had to be remembering that he’d said “Ann hog” earlier in the episode in order for the motorcycle joke to make sense. I hadn’t remembered, and thus the joke flew right over my head!!
People tend to overlook just how incredible Micheal Cera was in these scenes. For instance, the mayon-egg scene wouldn't have worked half as well if it hadn't been for the faces and sounds he made, and the sincere display of his affection for Ann. He really gave Bateman something to be horrified about 😂😂😂
I agree. About the 3rd or 4th time Michael says "Who? I haven't met her.." George Michael answers almost under his breath, "You've met her... so many times..." It was another perfect delivery by Cera. I also like how GM kind of pauses as he's talking to Michael when he gets blue on his fingers as he's getting something out of the refrigerator. Little subtle stuff makes this show so hilarious.
When Lindsay says "Check out who's on that hog" she is refering to the private investigator on the motorcycle. However, hog is also used to describe a pig. Michael thinks that she is talking about George Michael mounting egg@@kaymadd
Her involvement in Season 4 was especially indicative of a cool attitude, since by that time she had become a pretty big TV star thanks to Parenthood. She was arguably more successful at that point in time than any other actor on AD.
@@AdamFunk uh...and...she's been on Family Guy. At last count, 37 episodes 🙂. She's an EGG-celent voice actress. One of my favorites was Little Suzy, Johnny's annoying neighbor-girl friend on 'Johnny Bravo'. She's been April O'Neil, Tinkerbell, Yuffie (Final Fantasy). All kinds of great stuff.

@@asmodiusjones9563did not know either of these facts. I watched Scott pilgrim but didn’t pay attention apparently cause years later I found out Aubrey was in it lol
@@asmodiusjones9563 Scott Pilgrim has a crazy cast. So many young established actors like Michael Cera and Mary Winstead, but also a couple who were about to hit stardom. Chris Evans, Brie Larson, Audrey Plaza...
Still missing a few like when George Michael goes on and on about how sturdy she is for the softball game and how you can't knock her over. Plus her name is Ann Veal (Anvil). Best show ever. 😎
How, how could you? You left out the absolute BEST Ann Veal joke.... They are at a wedding ceremony with Ann as the bride (or something like rhat). Ann is standing at the front of the church, under its name. The name of the evangelical church is called something like, "Holy Eternal Redeemer". Of course, the acronym is hilariously revealed to say...HER? Also Ann clearly has a photo of herself in the yearbook...but it states NOT PICTURED. Thats in the video, thats hysterical. Great video 👍.
I told my sister once that Katara’s voice actress played Ann from Arrested Development. She stared at me blankly and said “who?” It took me a good thirty seconds to realize the joke.
The transition from talking about the mayonegg to buying a diamond is genius
"Her??"
Michaels look of disbelief is just priceless lmao
Diamond cream😂
Jason Bateman should’ve gotten an Emmy just for that face of pure disgust at “Mayonegg”
"Before you go getting her all glittered up for Easter" just fn kills me, everytime.
It’s as Ann as the nose on Plain’s face
Still one of my favorite lines
Bateman had so many hilarious little throw-away lines in this show.
That’s an actual song lol. Plain as the nose on your face lol it’s by Ann cole lol
Definitely the best "Ann" line. That and.. "Way to plant, Ann!" "Why don't you and plain go wait over there..." This show wouldn't have been 1/4 as good without Jason Bateman as the "straight man"
someone mind explaining this?
@@nomnom112’plain as the nose on your/insert names face’ is a saying, meaning it’s obvious.
The whole Ann pun makes you realize how much Michael really is like Lucille. The disregard, the disgust, the confusion. Genius. 😂
He's absolutely her child. The backhanded sass, the control freakiness over his own kid, he's just not as overt about it.

Honestly he and Bateman are such great actors. It’s the little intricacies like this that set them apart!!
Michael Cera was amazing in AD. One of the youngest, but, I think, one of the BEST actors on the show.

The fact that you didn’t include:

lack of this line made this compilation go from s tier to c+ tier
"Ah you don't need to be all penned up with them..." the zingers just blow by before you can really marinate in their genius.
“It’s just Ann” 😂
The joke is comparing her to a pig or is there anything else that I'm not picking up?
Mae Whitman is a good sport for doing this!! She was amazing!
Her?
I love when she posted a photo of herself going to see the film Her when that came out
Who?
I honestly find her very attractive.
Her involvement in Season 4 was especially indicative of a cool attitude, since by that time she had become a pretty big TV star thanks to Parenthood. She was arguably more successful at that point in time than any other actor on AD.
Ann’s mom: Next thing you know, you’re going to tell me how we should be sisters.

The "sexy unzipping" is peak physical comedy.
