28joshg id make 19. Maeby Funke, Surely Funke, and Miss Baerly
Mr F
Also Gob and his inability to say "should"
+28joshg WHAT ABOUT MISTER F??????
Obviously Watchmojo hasn't actually watched Arrested Development. The recurring signals Oscar drops of him being Buster's father has got to be the funniest thing ever.
don't deserve to be in the top 10 tho
haha really? there's an entire compilation video on youtube, which I can't help but laugh at every time I watch it. It's really the usage of the same music, that gets me.
Honorable mention: Pop Secret, No Touching, Steve Holt, Marry Me, Cinco de Cuattro (the 5th of the 4th), the banana stand, George Michael's light saber home movie, Lucille calling Lindsay fat, and more.
George Michaels home made star wars has me on the floor, majorly cuz it's played at the most awkward moments.
Batman Two words. Gene. Parmesan.
The best is the Private Detective always hiding, and Lucille always flipping her shit when he reveals himself
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
IT'S GEEEEEENE
+asdda Gene Parmesan, how're ya doing?
+Shea Bunge
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH HE GOT ME AGAAAAIN
It sucks that he’s only in like 2 episodes
@@bobthechimp5431 He's in a shit ton.
A good one is George Michael's embarrassing Star Wars video.
Videosythesis Yes 😂
Z
Probably didn’t add it because it was just a cheap joke copying a “viral video.”
Not that good
@@jmsmith1767 I always thought it not being funny because the Star Wars video itself was original, but because every time someone filmed something it was on the same tape of George Michael's Star Wars impression. It was definitely meant as a reference
What about how in the episode before they would "preview" next weeks episode but that "preview" would never actually be in the show lol. Arrested Development was so artistically thoughtfully funny its almost scary hahaha
Dylan Dunlap for the entire first season I skipped those thinking they would spoil the next episode -.-
Leonardo Santos lmao same
+Dylan Dunlap I was really confused on the third episode or so when its preview shown in the second episode didn't happen.
Dylan Dunlap one the best ones! I was so confused like did I miss an episode!
But the thing is, some of those previews either happened, or were seen as legitimate part of the story.
FOX made a huge mistake when they canceled the show
"I've made a huge mistake..."
Meh, netflix taught them a lesson
Joss Whedon can tell you a thing or two about fox making mistakes with brilliant shows
Why was this show cancelled??
because in the mid 2000s fox was run by idiot who only wanted to beat the ratings created by NBC. and they never gave shows a chance to develop (irony is not lost on me) but saddly they canceled so many great shows before their time.
I died when they said Bob Loblaw Law Blog for the first time.
Bob Loblaw attorney at Law!
Bob Loblaw lobs law bomb
You sir, are a mouthful!
you must read Bob Loblaw Law Blog
idk that one was kinda lost on me.

Hey, where’d the guy go?
"i got children all over town!"
STEVE HOLT!!!!

Yeah, like the guy in the six thousand dollar suit needs a watchmojo top 10.....Come On!
+Steve Wheeler gah! i love that one too! those kids and their sticky little fingers. "sure the guy in the thirteen hundred dollar pants is gonna hold the door for the guy who doesn't make that in a month? c'mon!"
Seriously, like the guy in an eighteen thousand dollar suit is going to listen to a list made by a guy that doesn't make that in three months. COME ON!
Like the guy in the ninety two hundred dollar suit is just going to stand by and let you one up him. COME ON! Roast me already!
YEAH OKAY so sh-sh-sh-hs-shu-should should sh shahs SHHHHHH hsh sh-shou
s-sh-sure the guy in the $600 banana suit, come on!!
You missed Kitty's "say goodbye to these."
Absolutely, Kitty's boobs should have been there.
Hot
"Are they crooked?"
David Fathom SPRING BREAK!
Spring break woooo
There's always money in the banana stand.
unclvinny yeah
unclvinny taking care of bussiness... everyday!
How about "I've made a huge mistake"?
YESSSSSSSS😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
For all those saying "You missed [fill in blank]", there are a THOUSAND running gags in Arrested Development that deserve mention. The series has reached cult status BECAUSE of all their inside jokes and running gags.
+Jordan Moore Anyone who dislikes these videos because their favorite _______ wasn't on the list needs to kill themselves.
Well, at the very end of the video there is the question: "Do you agree with our list or do you think we made a huge mistake?" - So this justifies the impetuous comments here.
Yeah but the fact that there “Do you believe in Magic” “More than just a screw loose” were on the list and “I’m a monster” is number one, (and those kinda suck) people are saying to replace them with good ones
Marry me!
I've watched it a zillion times, even with the closed-captioning on, and catch something new every time! I like how the "scenes from the next episode" are never in the next episode but still move the story fwd!
"I'm....Gene Parmesan!"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
I love how Gob loses his shit every time he sees Buster's hook hand like its the first time he's ever seen it
I don't know why, but I lost my shit reading this - like every scene came flooding back and I couldn't stop laughing
Remember the "forget me now" pills
I think the Chicken Dance should've been number one. And in third season I like the use of "Mr. F" and its many variations.
+djChives95 chicken dance ftw. especially, as mentioned in the video, the George-Lindsay-Lucille combination. Also the scene where Michael is in the car and tries to do the chicken over the phone. Or in season 4, when George Michael almost does his own chicken dance (block-block), but is interrupted (unfortunately).
+Joel Costa Man, I hated that we never got to see George Michael's chicken dance. I would love to see all the Bluth's chicken dancing together.
*f o R b r i t i s h e Y e S o N L y*
M I S T A F
S O L I D A S A R O C K
I got the worst fucking attorneys
-George Bluth
My favorite is how fucking RANDOM those music cues are lol "solid as a rock" "for British eyes only" "mr. F" "whatcha tryin to say to meh" just to name a few!! Hahaha
I'm not sure if you can fit all the running jokes in a top 100 list..
Arrested Development truly was one of if not the best comedy series of all time..
+christopherkj I'd tie it with 30 Rock and VEEP. Actually, I'd have to put 30 Rock at the top simply because it had more episodes.
I didn't hate S4 of AD like many others did, but its characters lacked the likability that the fucked-up family had on the first three seasons. I found myself very much disliking Tobias, Michael, and George Michael. I rarely disliked any of the clan during the first three seasons.
Yup. It is gold. Too bad, it got cancelled. Didn't like season 4 that much. Didn't hate it though. Thought they butchered Michael's character.
30 Rock is trash compared to It's Always Sunny
Just remember. If theres any disagreements with the list at least you can safely know. . . There is ALWAYS money in the banana stand.
NO TOUCHING!
StreetSpirit64 NO TOUCHING! *raises hands*
hioeo NO TOUCHING!
Jared Willebeek-LeMair what? you don't like it when people fight? what are you? CHICKEN??? *COKA CO COKA CO COKA CO!*
No, Michael, there's money IN the banana stand!
#1 should have been the cops continually arresting the wrong twin (Oscar and George Sr.).
and how they all pile on him and the last dude hits him over the head XD
Plus all the times George seizes an opportunity to escape custody
Yess!!!
WatchMojo, you've made a huge mistake.
What would you have included?
+jbauer72 I'm going to guess you didn't get the reference. /watch?v=GwQW3KW3DCc
+minutemuse Oh boy. Ha ha! You're right, that flew over my head. Thanks for pointing it out!
minutemuse oh… COME ON!
Man i was gonna say something but dude, your comment is perfect.
Who's this Hermano guy...
HERMANO!!
Hermano?
Brothero
I'm my sister's brother. You're in love with.. Me? Me! =D
@@Skitz0frenix Aww I made this comment 4 yrs ago and ppl are still replying!! Thanks Kula (and everyone else)! Means a lot x)
How could you not include the best one? You've made a huge mistake.
Gob gave WatchMojo a "forget-me-now".
I really like how many spammers have replied to you, you know? If you love Arrested Development then should probably watch it on Netflix rather than some dodgy website, no joke! I would give you the link but honestly you should right now go on Google yourself rather than take a link from an adbot.
They made a huge mistake. Now say "OH COME ON" and walk away sulking with the charlie brown music playing
blom blomblom blom blom blomblom
maxpowr90 "I will never forget"............"I will, I will"
They reference it at the end, like as the last thing in the video.
I think you forgot me...
*removes fake nose*
Gene Parmesan.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I KNEW IT!!!!
AHHHHHH, GENE!!!
@@Echos.Art.Corner HE GOT ME AGAIN!!!
''has anyone in this family ever seen a chicken ?'' :D :D
I always thought Lindsey's one was the funniest.
You're a...... crook, Captain Hook, judge, won't you throw the book, at the pirate.
You can always tell a Milford man
"Hello darkness, my old friend..."
"Family of the Mother*cking year? Are you kidding me?"
Barry being a really bad lawyer was my favourite running joke XD
you're a crook, captain hook
Judge won't you throw the book
At the PIRATE!
Hi! Sherlock!
*hook falls off*
Loose seal!
Say goodbye to these
guess again boys season 5 confirmed
no Oscar hinting that he's Busters father? not even an honorable mention? OH Come on!!
YOU'RE DRUNK!
Steve H YOU'RE HIGH!
Dominic Laurence YOU'RE SEXY!
Dominic Laurence YOU'RE DRUNK!
Marc A. Castro YOU'RE HOME, GO DRUNK!
Marry me
+Luke Alexander that was a freebie
+Luke Alexander Babysit me!
Bury me!
Oh my gosh, that first scene with George Michael doing the Charlie Brown sad walk, there's a red dog house with a dog laid out on top of it. Never noticed it when watching the series, hahahaha!
David Stratton I noticed it.
David S you could probably watch the entire series 10 or 20 times and notice something new each time.
Never noticed. Time to start over!!
no $6000 suit??? hello darkness my old friend??
theAbeElement That was like 1 episode. Not a running gag
theAbeElement This was made prior to the Fourth Season, and the $6000 suit is only in two episodes.
theAbeElement the suit was only in one episode
COME ON!
SHOULD*
The forget-me-nows and "I've made a huge mistake" should be on the list. Also, the show itself needed more of "Gob and his suits". Simply because "COME ON!" should be used more.
GENE PARMESAN
*SCREAMS*
OH GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENE!!!!!!!!!
OH he got me again!!!!!!!!!!!
How ya doin'?
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
Omg i'm so stupid -_-
I did not get the "Looose seal!" joke when i first watched it...
uberandy666 did you notice the park bench he was sitting on? It said Arm Off, but when he stood it revealed
Arm y Off ice
They forgot about Lucille and George not caring for Gob
The hermano one was hilarious. Even in a later episode, George S. tries to explain to Mexican authorities that he’s not his brother. “Brothero!”
Tobias always needing to go to the hospital is another one.
Watch out for hop ons.
You're gonna get hop ons.
Watch out for live-ins
You're gonna get some live-ins
+Jasper Jamm ahh, good one!
Where's Bob Lob Law? And his Law Blog?
That's a low blow, Bob Lablaw!
Raenel86 it's a Bob Loblaw Law Bomb
That's a low blow, Loblaw.
Objective Ninja he only appears in 4 episodes and not until season 3. Many of the gags transcended all 3 of the original episodes recurring dozens of times.
I can't believe they forgot "Say goodbye to these!"
I think they were aiming for gags and inside jokes that run thru the whole series, not just a few episodes. Say goodby to THESE is in like three episodes.
"woah they're crooked"
had me in tears
"There's always 💰 in the 🍌 stand"
For escorts... indeed there is.
Im not sure it counts as a running gag,but there are numerous references to hooks and hands around Buster right from the start,forshadowing his accident XD
Mikurunrun so true. It's fun to watch the show again and pick up on those hints.
That counts! Good one.
"Excuse me, do these effectively hide my thunder?" One of the best lines in a television show ever.
No "There's always money in the banana stand" ...COME ON!!
The was only one episode. Wasn't running...
+jbauer72 there was the callback to it in the episode kitty stole George seniors a sperm and Lucille said "there was 500ccs of your father in that cooler!!" or something like that. it defintely was a recurred gag
SmythJunior that was just one or two episodes. Some running gags kept popping up over the entire first 3 seasons
JTisOneCrazyMan20 recurring once still isn’t quite a recurring gag, especially in a show so full of long range recurring gags. I think you’ve made a huge mistake.
Where's Annyong
Hello
+ablaze861 Genius
He went to the Milford academy... where he was neither seen nor heard until the season finale :O
Annyong
This show is so utterly pure gold!
This show is extremely underrated and deserves much more appreciation by the everyday man.
what about Buster's "I'm a Monster!!".
Well, that never started happening until after Buster lost his hand. I think this list was for gags that ran mostly through the entire show.
the cops and forget-me-now pill should be on the list too!
Shoulda had pants I can only think of a few forget me now references and in just one season. Many of their gags spanned all 3 seasons
Gob and Tobias need to be in more scenes together
GOBIAS
some coffee
Tobias is Queen Mary
"Even the members of Gobias had to agree on that."
Tobias and Lucille as well.
I love Franklin.
That joke about Gob being able to get into the club Michael makes after Franklin goes all white made me laugh so hard.
Other honorable not-mentioneds: Gob's $3000+ suit and "I don't care for Gob."
Basically Gob. Lots of Gob.
Family Love Michael
Micheal Love Marry
Check out banner Michael!
You're Killing Me Buster!!
One of the absolute best running joke hands down!!
I agree-Lindsay's version has always been my favorite but it is priceless when they all do it together! "Has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken?"
Same
The fact that there are so many good gags missing from this list show just how amazing this show really is.
how could you forget come on? COME ON!
They've made a huge mistake.
Sean Thompson These aren't really running gags, they're just reoccurring phrases.
Forget the guy wearing a $6000 suit? COME ON!
They just made a huge mistake...
Dakotah Engel come on absolutely should have been there over the Peanuts reference which I never liked
Chicken Dance has to be number 1 lol.
Lindsay's always cracks me up the most.
Cha! Cheecha! Cheecha!
I'm not sure anything is funnier in the universe.
The best part is everyone has a completely unique dance that's in no way near similar to each other's... But nothing looks like a real chicken hahaha
#1 for me is either "Her?" or anything like that relating to Ann, or "I've made a huge mistake"
Both are incredibly timed and witty. But really, this show is pure genius and you can find hundreds of callback jokes.
the literal doctor seriously makes me laugh every single time
And I love when George Michael says "There's no other way you could take that" 😂
It only lasted a couple episodes, Tobias's blue man phase when he'd spy on Lindsey was hilarious. Hiding in plain sight
Where's the Bob lob law gag?
Mutale Malama Oh man, I love that gag. Not sure why but I just love it.
Mutale Malama i prefer BARRY zuckerkorn
Mutale Malama Go complain on your law blog.
Mutale Malama Absolutely LOVED the Bob Loblaw lawyer gag. Amazing. Caz you know, lawyers just go blah blah blah.... HAHAHAHA! :))
Bob Loblaws law blog
Also, I'm really surprised that you didn't bring up that one detective guy that is always pulling off his mustache and revealing who he is (and then Lucile losing her shit about it - she's not like that about ANYTHING which just makes it even better).
Or how about (spoilerz that are nearly 10 years old) Oscar constantly alluding to the fact that he thinks Buster is his child?
Or that weird thing in the second season with the wolf howls?
Or Annyong?
Just goes to show you, folks. If you're gonna make a "Top Arrested Development Gags" video, you'd better bump up the limit to 20.
what are you 12? HEYYYYYYYYYYY! It's Fonzie.
George Michael's Star Wars video should be here
Fernando Vargas That didn't come in until season 3
season 2
How about the sound of silence playing whilst Gob stares off into the distance
That was only in one episode I think
Well it was in a couple of episodes but only in one season so guess it's not really a running gag
This video was before season four
Jordan D'Shon Wasn't season 4 where the Charlie Brown Christmas song was in? It's been a while so I might be wrong.
It would be great if Ron Howard narrated this video.
Best show ever! I just don't understand why it could never get the mainstream audiences. Too smartly written for the masses maybe? That's a sad thought...
Because people are idiot
77roushie
Exactly. It was too smartly written. The masses prefer Friends or something sillier
Because people prefer Buddy shows like Friends, How I Met Your Mother, and Big Bang Theory. Shows that treat their friends/family terrible do worse because of bad promotion ex: It's Always Sunny and Arrested Development
How does this show treat their fnf terrible?
Humayra Faizah well Micheals always being screwed by his family like
I think my favorite bit is when Michael asks Oscar to give his mother some "Afternoon Delight". I die laughing every time.
"You're killing me, Buster" - How they re-use that banner is the funniest thing!
What about "I've made a huge mistake",
"say goodbye to these",
"NO TOUCHING",
"I've got the worst fucking attorneys",
"You're drunk, you're high",
"Mr F"
Egg, I mean Ann, should have been #1
Her?
Who?
herby Who is Ann again?
herby Egg and who?
oh come on....what about Banana stand ? Huge Mistake ? Mr F ? No touching ? Lucille's drinking ? i.e.you're high ..you 're drunk ...oh come on ? Annyong ? Steve Holt ?
I thought I knew for sure what #1 was going to be... But WatchMojo made a huge mistake.
H_Steve_H what made that such a great gag is that it started with just Gob but eventually others used it as well
what about Busters "hey brother" lol there is a bunch.
GENE PARMESAN!?!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
...but I overheard, he’s bleeding internally.
Gene Parmesan DEFINITELY should have been in there!
1:25 ILLUSIONS DAD U DONT HAVE TIME FOR MY ILLUSIONS
what is wrong with u why r u so angry
Or candy
haha i love the literal doctor
He wasn't in too many episodes, but Franklin was one of my favorite parts of this show. I crack up every time George Sr. strangles Gob's wrist with the puppet on.
"I've made a huge mistake" needs to be in there. As well as Bob Loblaw. I still giggle at his name.
oscar being busters dad, ann-yong, the cornballer. all great recurring jokes
“Has anybody in this family ever even seen a chicken” cracks me up every time
The Literal doctor, I've made a huge mistake, Franklin, and always money in the banana stand, J. Walter Weatherman
LOL always had me dead
for there is a man inside me, and only when hes finally out can i walk free of pain...
First, the Charlie Brown ones are from one episode if I'm correct. There are better ones like...
"I've made a huge mistake" All Cast
"Forget-me-nows"
"Hermano"
"Mr. F"
"Runaway, Runaway"
Charlie Brown gags are used throughout the series, especially in the last season.
lol Arrested Development owes so much to The Royal Tenenbaums. Even the usage of Vince Guaraldi's "Christmastime Is Here." I love 'em both.
Lietiel Jason Bateman himself said that the show is like if "Tennenbaums" was shot like "Cops"
hardw0od the Charlie Brown shows up in a few episodes but yes, not nearly enough to be superior to come in! Also, Mr. F was just one season
at 4:31 i noticed how he is standing before the army ad on bench it says.. arm is off !!! seen this show so many times didnt catch it till now... so many running gags and clever writing always see ones you missed the more you watch again!!!
When Rita sits on the bus stop with the 'Wee Britain' ad, her body covers the 'it' so its reads 'Wee Brain'
the episode wen buster thinks hes in mexico. he sees his old chair that looks like a hand and says "Never thought I'd miss a hand" show is so brilliant
YOU haunt me there's also reference to his hook when he gets obsessed with the crane arcade game
The final countdown
What about
No touching
Runaway runaway
Hello darkness
For British eyes only
I've made a huge mistake
Gene Parmesan
Tony Wonder popping out whenever hears wonder
The George and Oscar swap
Don't forget I'M A MONSTER
The literal doctor always gets me... EVERY TIME
How about Franklin? WatchMojo should give him some brown sugar!
It ain't easy bein brown
watchmojo doesn't care about black puppets
Ace Vedder And not easy being white...
Hello darkness my old friend
Ive made a huge mistake? Anyoung? Gene parmesan?
I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?!?! That's got to be one of the funniest ever!
"I've made a huge mistake" should have been in there. Or "I'm done with this family".
Buster, can you not do that on the balcony, buddy?
Sam Saad go, not not
Tony Wonder (Did someone say, 'Wonder'?) is my favorite reoccurring gag.
But what about the same news report guy I die everytime he's in an episode
"I can't be part of the story"
2:45 I love how disgusted Michael's face looks here lol
one of those rare sitcoms that actually understood ' situational comedy'
