[@anelisamorgan8590]

I loved this show!! It was so amazingly witty and and sharp, all the awkward moments were perfectly performed. Love the casting.

[@coe3408]

I watched it and enjoyed it a lot until Jason Bateman met Charlize Theron, whose character was bit too bizarre and unreal for my taste.

[@Norciusz]

True. Period!

[@gavinmccrevan2486]

David Cross is such an underrated actor. Whenever he's in bad movies, he's the only good part. When he's in good productions, he still stands out.

[@meancheeto]

Damn i never noticed that. Good eye

[@pinecone3870]

Also when he asked where the magic happens at the leather party and says “Danke shoen” (German for thank you very much)

[@Football__Junkie]

David Cross was meant to play this role

[@shrimpflea]

And he knew it. They wanted him to play GOB at first but he saw the Tobias character in the script and immediately knew how to play it.

[@angelabolton4478]

He was the first one cast, I think.

[@quentindaniel9541]

Right off the bat the scene of Tobias becoming a pirate and getting in the gay van was when I knew I’d love the show, it’s only 7 min into the episode but that’s the moment I knew

[@ShadyClown007]

Same here.

[@Sousabird]

It really hit the ground running

[@johnnymarin5035]

Honestly when I really think about it, same here. I knew something special was unfolding. The editing of that scene was genius. As a person who can appreciate the technical aspect I knew the comedy would be something else. They used every tool in the book , not just writing and actors to tell a hilarious story start to finish. Masterpiece

[@resilvina]

[@serbonkers4130]

Everytime tobias is on screen you knew a joke is coming.

[@mlsaulnier]

When he falls out out of the director chair - lmao

[@j_freed]

God he's funny. It's simple but hard acting to do really well I believe.

[@NEpatriots88]

Most of Tobias’ physical gags were completely unscripted. Mitch Hurwitz told him to just do what he thought was funny. The story of Tobias is probably on KZbin somewhere but it’s on the AD dvds

[@turnupthesun81]

Tobias choking himself with the chain is the funniest shit I’ve seen in a long time.

[@roberttreacy8271]

Tobias is my favorite AD character.

[@NEpatriots88]

Robert Treacy aside from maybe George Costanza, he’s my favorite character from any comedy. David Cross is just BRILLIANT

[@wwaazzaa100]

brett 2004 I like him even more than George. But how Jason Alexander never won shit for that role is a mystery, he was the best character in the show and the only one not to win

it still is, there is still no sitcom with the same intelligent meta humor and jokes that are being developed throughout several seasons. it's like a really great and smart cartoon comedy but with really amazing actors, the narrator is great, how they use the 12 or sth songs of the soundtrack just perfectly, the brilliant criticism of (US) politics, economy and society, the double entendres, many hidden jokes, many jokes ppl only get if they know some economics or business administration, the unique characters, how Jeffrey Tambor just shines while playing the two completely different twin brothers, Carl Weathers, Liza Minelli... the stair car, the way the show points out the fact that most ppl who grew up rich simply don't get on living a life without an endless supply of money by their families company after it went bankrupt, the white screen before the ad break instead of black screen just to do it differently, (wrongly) announcing the ad break itself, there's so many special and unique things that make this show the greatest sitcom of all time

All of these actors are truly incredible. The writing is fantastic. This show is such a hidden gem, and having just finished season three, twenty years after its original airing, it is truly amazing.

The details and the intelligent acting choices that everyone makes are so fun to watch, and they frequently work really well. David Cross was incredibly in this role.
