Funny bits and pieces? WTF do you laugh at? No other comedy makes me laugh as much as AD. The tightness of the writing is unlike anything I've ever seen on another comedy. Nothing is introduced that won't become part of a joke later. The show builds upon its own mythology by doing callback jokes all over the place. All the comedies from the last half of the 2000's that I love are united in their ability to rip off Arrested Development over and over again. It is the show that all other comedies wish they were. I can't say a single bad thing about it.


I don't know. Maybe it's just where I'm at in life, but I get tired of excessively rich people whining. I don't care if the joke's on them. It annoys the piss out of me and is rarely funny. I do love Bateman, though.

Also, I tend to love running jokes when they come from characters - like Michael Scott's "that's what she said" (though, to be fair the joy of that joke is how sparcely it's employed and the timing of when it is). But on the whole, I don't like running jokes as a device. I much prefer the manipluation of language.

Also, anytime someone runs into something. I can't help it. That's funny, funny shit. Best example: the dude in Ed Wood who can't get through the door and smacks right into the flat. He growls as you see the shitty set waver back and forth. Hilarious.
