    Very Well Written Comedy

    And, goodness, they milked every last hilarious drop out of that hook hand and brought it full circle brilliantly.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Barry Zuckerkorn (played by Henry Winkler) says, "I missed breakfast, so I'm on my way to Burger King" and then jumps over the dead shark on the pier. This is, of course, a reference to Henry Winkler's character in Happy Days (1974) jumping over a shark while on water-skis, signaling the moment when that show lost its relevance. The phrase "Jumping The Shark" was made popular in the 1990's as a metaphor for when a television show reaches its creative nadir.
    • Goofs
      The announcer at the Motherboy event tries to distract everyone from the fact that Buster has just crashed onto the stage after getting his hook stuck in a sandbag by letting the boys choose their own dance partners. In one scene it shows the young boys dancing with the mothers, but just before the commercial break it changes to full grown adults dancing with each other.
    • Quotes

      Narrator: On the next Arrested Development, Lindsay finds herself strangely compelled to be with Tobias...

      Lindsay Funke: Oh my god, I'm sorry, I walked into the wrong trailer!

      Dave Attell: Wow, the service sent you over quick.

      Narrator: ...But not the one she's married to.

      Lindsay Funke: [he quickly disrobes] You don't cry when you take those off?

      Narrator: Having finally had sex, GOB can admit that he never consummated his marriage.

      George "Gob" Bluth II: Your Honor, we never consummated this marriage.

      Wife of Gob: Judge, maybe you should take a look at this, which was taken in your office just moments ago.

      [She hands the judge a picture, and GOB is seen shirtless with the shirt over his head]

      Narrator: Then GOB catches a lucky break.

      Judge Lionel Ping: There's no way to tell who this man is.

      Narrator: But it doesn't last long.

      George "Gob" Bluth II: Oh that's me, your honor, I fucked my wife.

      Barry Zuckerkorn: Oh, we've really lost this case.

      Narrator: And Maeby impresses some kids at the Promise Land with her one scary campfire story.

      Mae 'Maebe' Funke: Knock, scrape. The only thing more terrifying than the escaped lunatic's hook was his twisted call!

      [Buster enters the clearing while holding up his hook]

      Buster: Hey, campers.

      [the kids all scream and run away]

      Buster: I'm a monster!

      Michael: This may have been a step backward.
