Arrested Development Chicken Dance Montage

I was searching youtube for this and came up with nothing so I made one myself...enjoy!

I think this is briliant comedy because it manages to make basically unfunny physical comedy into a hilarious bit. As physical comedy otself there is not much depth to this chicken dance, it's just a bunch of people jumping around like idiots, but because the show builds on this bit over a number of seasons by the time the whole family is doing the dance I was rolling on the floor laughing.

[@erichodosh2933]

Nika Zardiashvili geez. nothing makes comedy funnier than dissecting it. eye roll.

[@thejesscen]

Eric Hodosh more like Eric Hodouche.

[@steliosp1770]

yeah but it also builds on the premise of a family so detached from reality still. michael even engages in the meta commentary with the "has anyone in this family even seen a chicken before" line. genius!

[@anakinskywalker70]

This is incorrect, they're not just jumping around like idiots. They make distinct dances and sounds that resembles each of their styles. You don't know what you're talking about...

I wonder how they chose the different dances for each character. Did the actors just come up with them themselves?

[@Rattenhoofd]

The actor who plays Gob said the script just said "Gob does his chicken dance". He went to the producers to ask what it was and the 3 of them did stupid chicken-related dances for a while to figure out what worked, probably looking like absolute lunatics.
