A Very Literal Doctor - Arrested Development

[@StacksOnBricks]

The fact they managed to use the name Lucille and turn that into the ‘loose seal’ that took Buster’s hand has so many levels to it.

[@artofskylar]

"took his hand" was just bound to be a marital joke

[@TheJoker-gg8hc]

@stacksonbricks yeah, we know. We all graduated kindergarten too.

[@OctopusGlove]

Specifically 2 levels

[@PiyushK882]

That's called genius writing

[@shadowfax8752]

Don’t forget the loose seal on stage while he played Captain Hook

[@josemaria8177]

The one doctor that you never want to hear that you're allright

[@harmonicajay91]

Because you have lost all functionality in your left side.

[@WiloPolis03]

I'm gonna save any potential repliers from getting wooshed for trying to correct a typo

[@cdbsk76]

"There's no other way to take that!"

[@prashneetmani]

Best line

[@sarahbgln]

"The tears aren't comin, the tears just aren't comin!" That will always be funny 😄

[@nickdee5764]

One of the best written shows ever. The word play was so well done I have a hard time thinking of anything even close.

[@artofskylar]

as far as layering jokes goes, my closest was the original run of Futurama but idk

[@estevesmartins7935]

Indeed…nothing compares.

[@kyliefjohnson1390]

And some of the greatest call backs in comedy history

[@frequentuser360]

The original Police Squad is a contender.

[@dr.wolfstar1765]

Modern family

[@MikeMJPMUNCH]

I love that the Literal Doctor actually unites the family in their hatred for him.

[@gdhuertas07]

3:18 "This fucking doctor!" Well said, Maeby.

No, definitely well said.

"Dr. Wordsmith." Lol.

This dude was a legend.

[@smellypatel5272]

As a medical student, this is the guy I aspire to be one day soon.

[@FernieAriel]

1:17 “Arm Off” foreshadowing God, this show was perfect

[@frequentuser360]

Dr. Wordsmith is my favorite character on the show. Delivery is perfect, I'll never get tired of "he's going to be all right."

[@DonBarracuda117]

He's a very literal man

[@wvu05]

"Wait... let him finish."

[@kinglumpkins8831]

Thank you for posting we love you

[@arresteddev]

We love you too!

[@vipwanrinkle6439]

Lucille freak out after the alright is the funniest thing ever

[@KevinMuller5]

I love how she tosses her bag aside

[@mohitkatta8458]

This is one of the Best Running Gags in all of the Shows ever and they didn't overuse or underuse it. Just the perfect amount of it. Best written sitcom nothing comes close

[@dannigro8794]

Fun Fact: every time somebody cursed they not only bleeped it but they couldn’t show their mouths so they had to be facing away.

[@CoCotheTurtle]

WE WANT THIS COMPED!

[@rajkaranvirk7525]

I thought she said "we want this C*nt"

[@AnaSnowWhite]

Thank you for posting. Missed you

[@arresteddev]

You are so welcome, we missed you too!

[@BladeRabbit]

Hes a very literal man

[@SemperCallide]

"I HATE THIS DOCTOR!!!!!" Had me rolling, that would be my exact reaction

[@burgundyyears]

I never noticed that the charge nurse was listed as "Ratchet" on that board before.

[@5055672439]

His name being Dr Wordsmith is INCREDIBLE

[@jamesfromthecomputer]

"Finally some good news from this guy" "There's no other way to take that" lmao I love the writing on arrested's only 3 seasons, shame we never got more, such a shame

[@uwleagle1987]

Awesome compilation! You missed the “it’s too late for me to do anything for you” scene though.

[@johndavies2285]

Took me all these years to realize Buster lost his hand to a Loose Seal, just as a certain Lucille Bluth had spent his life emasculating him. Love this show.

[@dannigro8794]

1:18 Arm Off

[@MediaDroid960]

In the business we call this foreshadowing

[@Statsy10]

Buster's chair in his room is in the shape of a hand. That was from Season 1!

[@PiyushK882]

Arrested development, Seinfeld and Silicon valley are the epitome of genius writing....

[@joysundsouza4284]

That doctor stole every scene he was in

[@4dojo]

Besides the doctor for Parks and Rec and the Doctor from Family Guy this is probably my next favorite tv doctor.

[@unhommequicourt]

he didn t appear enough

[@Z-Strike026]

I like that when Buster is sitting on the bench it reads “ARM OFF” 😂

[@graciasMiura]

I can't believe Dr. Fishman was the Bay Habor Butcher... explains his lack of empathy

[@arresteddev]

Really lol?

[@graciasMiura]

@@arresteddev i've always sensed there was something... off... about him 👨‍⚕️

[@PhallicPhantom2]

It's weird that I've been watching Dexter from the beginning and this bay harbor butcher joke keeps popping up

[@Jesus-ml8cz]

At 0:15 he winked at George Michael.

[@katherinelikesstuff]

yes that's more the way i would take the news

[@meherenow793]

"Oh, this guy again." 🤣

[@diehardrvdfan22]

He angers the patients, but is clearly still a capable doctor.

[@thedude9014]

I want a spin off only with him 😂

[@Arcsecant]

"Dr. Wordsmith..."

[@yosefzee7605]

Love the show... Miss it? Thinking of adding more seasons?

[@nizoladehomu382]

I love this Dr😂😂😂😂

[@NuMetalfan1996]

This just makes me think of a Political Doctor. Doctor - “He’s going to Altright” “Oh thank you” Doctor -“ Yeah I don’t think I would be happy with this news” “What do you mean, you said he was going to be alright”. Doctor - “No, No, I said he’s going to be Alt Right”.

[@Mary_Lee2395]

This dr is the doctor from family guy 😂

[@devinleisinger4855]

Why am I not going under water

[@AgusNizami]

I hope there is Dr. Wordsmith Show

[@dgxkeyboards4535]

I wonder if Michael Scott got inspired by the Literal Doctor after running Meredith over with his car.

[@chamarholcomb3850]

This is why I luv this show, you have to rewatch it, not just for the jokes at 2:40 Michael kisses Lindsay on the lips.

[@omkar415star]

Thank u for posting but u missed Michael's appendix scene.

[@jackbatten7809]

Feel like I covered that

[@SalvitaASMR]

From Spain, I love this show 🇪🇸❤️🇺🇸

[@arresteddev]

Thank you! We love you too!

[@soorej91]

Hey hermano

[@SalvitaASMR]

We want new season from the BEST series in the world ❤

[@saar144]

There is no Arrested Development without Jessica Walter

[@SB-xe3pj]

Not to mention the Netflix seasons weren't particularly strong

[@claytonstrickland8336]

Did Lucille One call him Dr. Wordsmith?

[@dannigro8794]

Is that his name?

[@claytonstrickland8336]

@ I’m not sure. I hope so.

[@simplesimon755]

He was definitely the best worst doctor ever.

[@PhallicPhantom2]

God, if I wasn't on a Dexter been right now I would rewatch the show from the very beginning which I might still do!!!

[@jinagham6506]

Is this all??

[@kaffir76]

2:40 Michael must be very close to kiss his sister on the lips! 😂😂 (adopted but still .. )

[@DavidFobare]

The doc speaks like Tobias, only nothing sexual.

[@joed9849]

ARM OFF

[@andrewfeistner3384]

The doctor looks like Kevin Feige

[@jopalm3649]

It's Ian Roberts.

[@andrewfeistner3384]

@@jopalm3649 yes, but he looks like Kevin Feige

Hello! Support me to know how this literally work , is an example of stream of consciousness .

The editing in this video sucks. Get to the actual joke. We seen the show we know the context.

[@arresteddev]

Not everyone has seen the show unfortunately.
