The Best Of Franklin Delano Bluth - Arrested Development

George Bush doesn't care about black puppets!
Arrested Development is an American television sitcom created by Mitchell Hurwitz. The show follows the Bluths, a formerly wealthy dysfunctional family. It is presented in a serialized format, incorporating handheld camera work, voice-over narration, archival photos, and historical footage. The show maintains numerous running gags and catchphrases. Ron Howard serves as both an executive producer and the omniscient narrator and, in later seasons, appears in the show portraying a fictionalized version of himself.
The series received critical acclaim, six Primetime Emmy Awards, and one Golden Globe Award, and attracted a cult following. It has been named one of the greatest TV shows of all time by publications including Time, Entertainment Weekly, and IGN. It influenced later single-camera comedy series such as 30 Rock and Community.

This compilation took so long to make because Franklin said a number of truths that whitey just wasn't ready to hear

[@arresteddev]

Amazing comment lol!

[@dgxkeyboards4535]

He also said a number of truths African Americaneys wasn't ready to hear either.

[@unstoppableExodia]

@@dgxkeyboards4535i love how GOB somehow had enough sense not to say Blackey as a counter point to whitey

[@deborahb13]

😂😂😂

[@concernedhuman436]

African Americany had some reservations also. Franklin skipped out on studio time payment.

[@BrunoFernandes-ty7mf]

The zoom on his face when the guard asks to roll down the windows, Buster's delivery of freaaaky biiiitch, and the HE'S AGRESSIVE scenes are my favorite ones of Franklin. But the aggressive one is probably one of my favorite jokes on the whole show.

[@afkathisguy]

Kudos for understanding that the "best of Franklin" constitutes *all* of Franklin

[@purplegoose22]

It might be the highlight of the entire series for me

Calling the album "Franklin Comes Alive" is great writing.

If you look up the album “ frampton comes alive” it is an exact copy of franklin comes alive. 😂

Out of all of these, my favorite my still be George Sr. saying, "Yo, man, you're gonna get your sorry white ass thrown in jail." I love how this stupid puppet steals the show whenever he's onscreen.
