Why is Arrested Development Funny: A Comedy Analysis

[@lawrenceplays]

when i hear the name Ann, my brain tells my mouth to say "Who?" as like a muscle memory reflex, because of this show.

[@luisleija]

Not who, but HER?

[@NumbGeek]

Her?

[@icantthinkofanything798]

Her?

[@snerdterguson]

Oh, you mean Anna Belle? I call her that cuz she's kinda shaped like a.. She's the BELLE of the ball

[@Soap010]

Her?

[@jeremyrosenberger8535]

The joke with Michael forgetting Ann isn’t that Michael is dumb it’s that Ann is very forgettable

[@polishfinnish3066]

The one thing you missed is Tobias saying "who ate my hardboiled eggs?!?" After Ann ate them 😂

[@VeliAntti]

That's not the only thing I missed. Probably dozens of gags I still didn't realize after watching the series several times. 😂

[@saggysackstudios]

george michael took them to george sr in the attic

[@pja36]

The bench where buster sits says ‘arm off’ as well, so that’s more wordplay right there.

[@rachorachev8905]

The bench where Rita sits, in Season 3, says "Wee Brain" as well, with the 'it' obscured in the word Britain from the 'Wee Britain' bench advertisement 😅😅😅

[@Liboo52]

This is well done, I was really surprised this was the only video essay on your channel.

[@dgxkeyboards4535]

I can't never get enough of this show. I have already watched it 5 times and still am watching reviews of how great is it

[@Yeen666]

I finally watched it after what seemed like 10 years ago since I’ve watched this video and arrested development is definitely a good show

[@hugonongbri8100]

Just started watching this month.....now I can't watch any other sitcom.....

[@kaaronhudson8112]

It's the greatest show ever put more respect on it

[@snerdterguson]

Probably, at least, 20 of my 25 favorite jokes/bits/lines came from Arrested. Most brilliantly funny comedy I've ever seen. There are other shows that may actually be funnier, but I can think of none that are as funny as Arrested in as smart a way.

[@cleanesthawk2128]

Why does this just now get reccomended to me. Really good video.

[@luciferangelica]

i guess if there was anything that was great about 4 and 5 is they spent more time showing what a jerk michael is, because he certainly doesn't know

[@REDEEMERWOLF]

I like how George Michael finally gets fed up with Michael in Season 4 and 5. It's a good change of pace.

[@luciferangelica]

@@REDEEMERWOLF 'bout time!

[@luciferangelica]

@authorization batman good point. what's it matters. btw, i like him, but sometimes he's a jerk, and also he doesn't know it

[@luciferangelica]

@authorization batman i mean geez, if i only liked people who aren't jerks, i wouldn't like anyone

[@sakepapi]

@@luciferangelica I think hes only a jerk when it comes to george michael. See hes so used to being the one always fixing everything and keeping everyone in check so to speak, that he has the tendency with the one person in his family he cares for the most (there could be an argument that hes the only one he cares about) to try and fix everything for him, not realizing that george michael is capable. We get to see that dynamic shift when GM gets fed up with his father meddling in his life like he does with the others for example when micheal went to stay with him at the college, and well the rebel thing was the cherry on top. Atleast thats how I interpret him. Bc michael is at his most likable when hes with the other members of the family other than GM, really does speak volumes as to how fucked up his family is.

[@ciudadanakane8743]

"seinfeld" and "AD" are the best comedies ever made! the difference is that while Seinfeld was very public, AD was very awarded but underrated.

[@RohanKumar-ci9sl]

This is wayyy too much effort for q school project Respect

[@LukeGrayThe]

Why don't you acknowledge Season 4? It's genuinely better than people think... You just gotta see it as a whole.

[@benschnuck4586]

This was made before the remixed season but although season four is still ok, in my opinion it pales in comparison to seasons 1-3 of arrested development. I mostly made the comment just for comic relief lol

[@johnfarner9865]

No it sucks

[@Jason-hw4tf]

@@johnfarner9865 yeah but "anu start" was pretty funny sane with "daddys got to get his rocks off"

[@snerdterguson]

@Tribal Blood I actually enjoyed the 4the season, but I've only watched it once, and with shows I love, I never watch the first time with a critical eye. Its possible that I was just so giddy over new Arrested, that I blindly liked it. I will say that even as I remember liking it, I can't really remember that many bits. With the first 3 seasons, there are tons of memorable lines.

[@luciferangelica]

everyone has heard of arrested development... the mentioned it once on american dad

[@helpyourcattodrive]

A great show, endless.

[@luciferangelica]

if you're not talking about the philosophical argument, you shouldn't say absurdism. you should just say absurd or ridiculous or something

[@kamblisatyajit]

No one is going to talk about how awfully similar this guy's voice is to that of the narrator on Arrested development?

[@nolovebeegees1183]

I would recommend On Cinema at the Cinema for anyone looking a show with a similar level of Absurdity and Callback jokes

[@dylandavis4753]

Nolovebeegees I would definitely rate that show 5 bags of popcorn, and maybe even a couple of Decker action figures

[@gianmarcozoffoli9891]

good job! keep up

[@clinesonnier899]

Ahh so that’s why Netflix “remixed” Season4!

[@milfsfilms]

fantastic video! id also classify black mirror as juvenalian satire

[@thegoodgeneral]

Nothing says funny like the diagram of a brain!!!

[@EduardoEnlai]

Great work!

[@williamgriffin61]

WOW GREAT VIDEO, MAKE MORE OF THESE !

[@izabelasantannasuarez8886]

this is the best show

[@CommanderCummington]

Incredible work well done!

[@dannythehipster5644]

Great job! Although, i wouldn't call George Michael stupid.

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Is this a satire of comedy analysis? Brain illustrations?

[@bobthechimp5431]

Fantastic video!

[@mollymullin3729]

Very funny series!

[@MaliceInCandyland]

The official season 4 "Remix" (AKA Fateful Consequences) is genius though.

[@markcorrigan3930]

9:55

[@youenncouant9114]

The obvious joke you've missed: when Georges Michael imitates Ann it's obviously a sexual act. 😂😂😂

[@PhenomResurrections08]

Season 4 was good. Your whining is what ruined it and made them do the "remix"
