hahaha yes Gene Parmesan. I love Lucille's reactions to him.
Also - "We finish each others... sandwiches?"
I cannot believe how much this show gets away with the dumbest, silliest jokes. Not just get away with them though, they make them seem like the most highbrow comedy ever. Sheer genius. How do they do it?!

Were any of you guys unable to make that MSN flash thing work? Every time I hit play on an episode, it manically refreshes, skipping forward an episode with every refresh. Fuck IE.
"They're balls."
"Hey, I've seen those before!"

I do need to get this show on DVD, as I only ever saw one episode while it was still on the air and it was fantastic.

Lindsay: Ah, thank God. A new doctor. Finally we can get a straight answer in this place. Gene Parmesan: Uh, I’ve got some bad news. I’m... Gene Parmesan. How you doing? Lucille: AAAH! He got me again!
Gene Parmesan: But I did overhear that he’s bleeding internally.

The DVD sets are fabulously cheap. Amazon has the complete series for $55, and it's worth every penny.
Fuck me, thats a bargain. Ironically, I discover this after buying other bullshit and becoming destitute.

Lucille: I heard about the banana stand and now there's been a break-in. But I have a surprise for whoever it is if he comes back.
[holds up an air horn and a fire poker]
Lucille: First I blow him, then I poke him.
Michael: Guy has no idea what he's in for.
I loved it when Buster ends up with Lupe's family and he thinks it's so charming that they have all this stuff that reminds him of his childhood without realizing it's because his mom handed down all his stuff to them.

And he thinks he's in Mexico but he's only like six miles away from his house.
Seriously, this is one of the greatest shows. It never gets any less funny, and there are always jokes that you miss the first time, crazy foreshadowing, and shit going on in the background. So perfect.
Gob is the best character in the show. I'm usually a sucker for the protagonist (as much as this show has one) but nothing else made me laugh as much as Gob.

See? How do they make terrible junior high sex puns seem SO FUNNY? My theory is it's some combination of the performances and the fact that they pile them on so fast and thick you can't stop to analyze them too much...
Seriously, you could transplant that joke verbatim into like some shitty wayans bros. movie or Outrageous-Teen-Comedy(tm) and it would fall completely flat. I guess it's a testament to all the great actors on the show.
The best thing ever was netflixxing both Arrested Development and Veronica Mars, then getting to the episode of Veronica Mars where George Michael and Maeby are attending the college Veronica is looking at, and Maeby gets raped and her head shaved, and they really don't find the rapist (plot saved for the following season).
Then on Arrested Development, George Michael says to Maeby something like, "Hey, let me cheer you up, we'll watch ..." and Ron Howard says "Name of Teen Girl Detective Show on Competing Network" as Michael Cera mouths "Veronica Mars."
That was awesome.
Listening to the VM commentary (or something online), I learned that they tried to get Michael Cera to reprise his role for the final VM season, but they couldn't get either actor. It would have turned out that Cera was the rapist or his accomplice.

I actually started watching this show from the first episode, and got my roommates into it. It was on after the Simpsons, and they wanted to change the channel, so I threatened them with violence.
Marta: Te Quiero.
Gob: English, please.
Marta: I love you.
Gob: Great, now I'm late.
That and the one episode where Gob kept increasing the price of his pants.
Gob: I just don't want people's kids getting their sticky little fingers all over these $2,600 pants.
Gob: Yeah, the guy in the $3,000 suit is holding the elevator for the guy who doesn't make that in four months. Come on.
Gob: Oh, that's great. The guy who's dirty dancing with his niece is telling the guy in the $3,600 suit... how to... run the business...
