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"
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.
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.
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

@@hurryingman9071 It’s just part of the running gag where Michael verbally mixes up Ann’s name with other things, in this case the common phrase “it’s as plain as the nose on your face.” But it’s perfect.
@@hurryingman9071it works two ways. "As plain as the nose on your face" is an idiom. It means something is obvious. But Michael is also insulting Ann by calling her nose/face plain and unremarkable.

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 👍.
-“ Wow check out who’s on that Hog in the rear view mirror!” -“GEORGE MICHAEL!!” I can’t believe I’ve seen that episode 20 times and never got that joke until now!
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.
The whole Ann pun makes you realize how much Michael really is like Lucille. The disregard, the disgust, the confusion. Genius. 😂
It’s as Ann as the nose on Plain’s face

That’s an actual song lol. Plain as the nose on your face lol it’s by Ann cole lol

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.
