Featherbottom Compilation

A collage of clips from the TV series Arrested Development featuring the character Tobias as Ms. Featherbottom.

I don’t even think he sees it is bullshit. He just notice is Tobias there and doesn’t even care what’s going on

[@Nick_CF]

I'm sorry in America you say a sausage in the mouth 😂

[@thesprawl2361]

This is obviously brilliant, and hilarious, but it's the completely deranged premise of the joke that impresses me most - who came up with that? Who came up with the idea of him dressing up as a Mrs Doubtfire style nanny in order to see his family? And then who suggested that his family, out of pure selfishness, simply refuse to acknowledge that it's him, and use him for household chores? And that he gets increasingly desperate and exhausted by manual labour as they dig their heels in? Whoever it was...thankyou, and you're a genius..

When Michael sees Mrs. Featherbottom for the first time his face is devoid of all surprise which makes it perfect

[@PSXPato]

The eternal state of "I didnt know what I expected"

[@heddalee]

It's Michael's entire shtick - he's the sanest, and tries to accept these mental slobs as they are. Or at least not let on how nuts he thinks they are, since he has to work with them one way or another.

[@summersalt3629]

Michael expressed surpise more at the house being clean than seeing Tobias as Mrs. Featherbottom

"Master Bluth, I haven't seen you in a weeks time" "Actually, you tried to put a banger in my mouth this morning"

The way he starts singing after George sr calls him Tobias... I’m belly laughing

The music to go along with his humming is probably why its so enjoyable to see

[@doddeddo]

0:56 Jason Bateman's subtle expression kills me everytime, It's like he wasn't expecting to see Tobias as Fetherbottom while at the same time not surprised at all

[@lukesta12]

The fact that this was Tobias's go to strategy when he got kicked out is what makes him the best

One of my favourite parts of this video is that it's called "Featherbottom Compilation" with no further detail in the title. As if "Featherbottom" is a household name that we all know and love.

The complex expression on Jason Bateman's face when he sees Mrs. Featherbottom for the first time deserves fifty Emmys.
