The Best Of Larry Middleman - Arrested Development

[@KennyHavoc]

Super Dave!!!! Rip ❤

[@drakoinx]

Well thanks for ruining my night.

[@corndogrequiem1728]

He was no Einstein

[@dhaang126]

On the DVD commentary, they were talking about how Bob Einstein doesn't learn lines so they literally had someone feeding him his lines in that earpiece. Amazing.

[@JoeLyoutube1111]

No way🤣

[@JohnBasedowYoda]

I always find it hilarious whenI hear stories about actors who refuse to learn lines. That has to be the only job where you can get away without doing a core component of it and still having a chance at being a legend

[@BigPoppa931]

I mean, in this case the actor was in character about as much as. he could have been

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

@@JohnBasedowYoda I don't think in this case he was ''refusing'' per se, maybe it was done on purpose to achieve the desired comedic effect

[@mariazapata1606]

Indeed raw acting

[@dikydankedude]

That opening line "We're not here to talk nonsense with Bob Loblaw" 😂

[@sublimeade]

WahWahWah

[@kingmanuelful]

Never noticed before how George senior says at 03:03 “I’m watching the game” and Larry only repeats it at 03:07 because of the lag

[@infpail7232]

Thank you for pointing that out lol

[@cerpintaxt362]

Good catch

[@dgxkeyboards4535]

He is worth every penny.

[@oscarmarek7746]

[@martino5742]

One of the best comedic premises and executions ive ever seen, sincerely. And casting marty funkhouser was a stroke of genius

[@weston407]

"it'll look real if you squint GOD KNOWS THEY'RE SQUINTERS!" 😂😂

[@travisdonaldstanley6420]

My favorite part!!

[@Pikzel3]

I was so unprepared for that one, had me ROLLING

[@blacktimhoward4322]

I'm glad that even a pro like Larry has a breaking point. It really fills him out as a character

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

The hug fake out was perfect. His physical comedy is just as brilliant as his deadpan line delivery.

[@tidigimon]

“You shouldn’t have said anything.” “YOU shouldn’t have said anything!”

[@josemaria8177]

It's a shame that Funkhouser had to work as a surrogate. Good thing that Larry David or Richard Lewis never discovered this. They would have mocked him to pieces

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

I heard Mr Fuji screwed him over big in the end and he was left broke...

[@HRHorti]

What an einstein.

[@baronvonblackout7478]

In the DVD extras (😱) he gets a lot of praise from the cast and producers for this role. He also apparently never liked to memorize lines, so this was kind of perfect for him.

[@isCooperLymn]

Bob Einstein really pulled these two characters off

[@matthis1992]

i love how job just accepts him as his dad

[@arresteddev]

Gob and yes!!

[@Ethan-tn4jc]

@@arresteddev Did I say job? I meant Gob! But of course it was Buster that hit her, Gob just gave her the roofie

[@finkretana]

funny how they represent that at 4:05 with Larry standing in front of George Senior's frame

3:12 The fact that George sr is calling out Michael for not being present VIA his surrogate is just the icing on the cake.

[@ActualKaktus]

His name is Larry Middleman. How did I miss this 💀

[@itaahoe]

hahaa!! I never thought of that. Had to think for like 20sec before I even understood this comment...

But he can't sell the sarcasm.

[@tb7667]

0:29 'i'm sorry, have we met?'

[@jonarbuckle2894]

One of the best bits in TV history. Whoever came up with Larry should be so proud of their work.

[@sauercrowder]

Missing the most clever part of this bit where they were in the board room saying there could be listening devices, then the camera goes to middleman, then a boom mic dips into the shot

[@dengueberries]

They should've had a scene of Lucille going out to lunch with Larry Middleman. That would've been hilarious.

[@T3t4nu5]

RIP Absolute legend

[@lukejackson9302]

“Don’t come in here. Don’t come in here”. This is one of the funniest comedic roles of all time. God bless Bob Einstein.

[@amirali-ik8wv]

The best writing done with perfect acting by super dave Like they literally wrote "einstein" 4:06 in the scene for bob🤣

Fun fact: Albert Brooks is his younger brother, but changed his name for… obvious reasons.

[@Nunes2894]

i just noticed the stenographer transcribing Larry's "beeps" at 0:56, superb attention to detail

4:05 Hidden layer when Larry says "Another brilliant idea, Einstein". The writers got Larry, played by Bob Einstein, to say his own name

I said this on another video, but I find George Sr not wanting to be interrupted while watching baseball to be lovable for some reason. It’s just that, with him shouting “don’t come in here”, you expect him to be trying to escape or something lewd. But nah, the guy just likes his baseball.

The freeze at 3:41 is Comedy Platinum. Especially, the Tambor picture on the wall. Set design... buy them a pizza too.
