I just noticed on rewatching "Exit Strategy" just when Tobias says "Those Hollywood shows are super detailed"(or something) he and Geaorge Michael open drawers with a single item in them. Took me four times!

reply

They do something similar with Buster just before his hand gets bitten off by the loose seal (lol).

When he's sitting on the bench at the beach just before he goes into the water, there's an advertisement on it, reading:

ARMY
OFFICER

Only, Buster's sitting so he partially covers the sign, making it read:

ARM
OFF

I don't suffer from insanity, I actually enjoy it

reply

And when Rita sits up on the bench after being given a forget me now WEE BRITAIN turns into WEE BRAIN.

reply

And I thought I knew all the jokes..

But what's this got to do with the CIO?

reply

I liked S4's Herbert Love has "gotten himself in some pretty hot ham water this time."

reply

I liked the Martin Mull clue reference. It was only explained to me after but it blows my mind.

reply

In Exit Strategy Tobias performs a vagina monologue to the prosecutors thinking they're hollywood execs, in regards to Tobias' ability to perform the v monologue the prosecutor says "It was a little contrived.." I assume a joke about Tobias' lack of knowledge of the vagina.

I love when Michael has his appendix out by Doctor Stein and he says when he got in there the appendix wasn't inflamed, D'oh. Lucille says, I knew it. Meaning either that she knew the appendix wasn't inflamed or that the actor playing Doctor Stein is also Homer Simpson.

I remembered another one.

Also on season 2, episode Sword of destiny.

When Michael goes to the kids' room to get George-Michael for his driving class, Maeby is reading a magazine.

The magazine's front page reveals its name as "WORKING WORLD", so one can assume it's one of those cheap magazines with cheap contents for those managers who got hired at high position jobs coming out of nowhere with zero college or real-life experience, since she got a job as movie studio executive.

But it gets funnier when you read the subtitles of the front page:

"Tired of being late for meetings? How to be always on time!"

and then below there's another one that says "Will your company pay for judge bribes?" that one is hillarious considering the family is facing trial!

It gets even funnier when you read the backcover of the magazine. It's written in orange (AD's font color) and says "INBOUND SALES AVAILABLE! COMING SOON ON OUR NEXT SEASON!"

I guess they probably knew by then that the show wasn't getting good ratings and it was going to be cancelled unless more money came in.

reply

I'll have to keep an eye out for this, because I've never seen/noticed it before.
But unfortunately my digital version of the first three seasons are pretty low quality, so maybe it's just too fuzzy for me to be able to read any of that.
I'll have to dig out my actual DVDs one of these days.

On season 2, episode out on a limb, when the narrator does the flashback of Michael setting the "three times record" with Maggie, as Michael turns to face the camera, only for a brief moment when he turns from Maggie's side to the opposite side, for a brief second he lays face up and if you look towards the right of the screen, you'll see that under the sheets, his penis still has an erection and it's quite huge and visible, as the sheets resemble a camp tent, hiding his thick and hard penis.

It's even funnier because in the flashback that included Sally Sitwell, he didn't have an erection after the "third time", meaning he could have gone a fourth time with Maggie, but not with Sally!

reply

My favorite blink and you'll miss it joke is season 4.......

reply

Hello darkness my old friend...

 Did you see when the "Sad Affleck" video was on YouTube?

Every time the song played, I kept thinking of GOB.

reply

Same.

reply

When Buster is skipping class and walks in on Lucille 2 and Carl Weathers.

Lucille: Buster I thought you had class.
Buster: I thought you had class.


Definitely didn't get that one the first time.

"I said 'cot'"

People are crazy and times are strange

reply

"It's not the pronunciation that worries me."

Buster's rare moments of clarity are some of the best moments on the show.
