@@Viqtorrr Damn, I posted that so long ago that I forgot about it. But my friends and family think Tobias funny. And I hear he was originally supposed to be a guest star, but the test audiences liked him so much that they made him a regular character.
I think this is briliant comedy because it manages to make basically unfunny physical comedy into a hilarious bit. As physical comedy otself there is not much depth to this chicken dance, it's just a bunch of people jumping around like idiots, but because the show builds on this bit over a number of seasons by the time the whole family is doing the dance I was rolling on the floor laughing.
yeah but it also builds on the premise of a family so detached from reality still. michael even engages in the meta commentary with the "has anyone in this family even seen a chicken before" line. genius!
This is incorrect, they're not just jumping around like idiots. They make distinct dances and sounds that resembles each of their styles. You don't know what you're talking about...
@@bena3341 The Fateful Consequences re-edit of season four was *much* better than the original release. I couldn't even finish the first edit of season four, but Fateful Consequences felt like the original again.
“Caw-ca-caw, caw-ca-caw, caw-ca-caww!” “Cha-chicha-chicha-chicha!” “A-coodle-doodle-do! A coodle-doodle-do!” “Koo-koo-kachaaa! Koo-koo-kachaa!” They’re all amazing lmao, I love how each family member has their own rendition of the chicken dance it never gets old
every once in a while, i come and watch this video and laugh so hard i actually tear up a little! Today, those tears are a mixture of happiness and sadness... RIP Jessica Walter... :(
this can never fail to get one laughing hysterically. and the best part is Gob's was hilarious as it were.. and you thought it couldnt possibly get worse.. and ... everytime a new chicken dance came up it managed to top the last.. ridiculous. comedy genius this show.
Love Michael's face drop here as we hear Lucille start her version of a chicken. Reminds me of the mayonegg scene. I don't think Michael likes anything related to egg.
i freakin love this running gag of the chicken dance. though buster losing his S*** was priceless. him and michael are the only ones in the entire family that seem to know what a chicken sounds like.
One thing I love about this show is the subtle humor. We know that even Lucille 2 doesn't know what a chicken is either because when she sees the ostrich brought back by Lindsay and Marky, she refers to it as a chicken 😂
I just started watching Arrested Development on ROKU TV because of a commercial with this dance on it. It cracked me up, and continues to crack me up every time I see it. This is a funny show. I know I'm late to the party, and preaching to the choir, and I'm sure there are a few more cliches, but I just wanted to chime in. funny stuff.
The actor who plays Gob said the script just said "Gob does his chicken dance". He went to the producers to ask what it was and the 3 of them did stupid chicken-related dances for a while to figure out what worked, probably looking like absolute lunatics.
They're all hilarious, but I love how Lindsay's "Chachi, chachi, chachi" plays into Chachi's becoming their attorney instead of the Fonz (though the Fonz was missed Season 3).
As far as I remember, only Gob, Lucille, Lindsay and George Sr. ever did the chicken dance. But I might be wrong, it's been a while -- another reason to rewatch the show once again!
George-Michael started to do one in season four, but he was interrupted by the person on the phone telling him that the Fakeblock domain was available. :)
1:26 When we can see on Michael's face what's about to happen before she even starts to do the chicken dance ... lmao ... the funnies parts of this show are almost always in the details, and they're usually not even spoken words, like Tobias at 2:30
This series was so incredibly funny, so many well-written skits yet the one that ends up cracking me up all the time is this stupid fucking chicken bit rofl
Regardless of what you think of the revival seasons, you got to admit that waiting until the very last episode to finally reveal what Michael's chicken dance looks like, was ingenious.
Has anyone in this family ever seen a chicken? I can't stop laughing
No
@@HeraVibbert not a live one, anyway.
I think Buster has. He knows that chicken don't clap
I came here to just to hear that line. Jason Bateman’s delivery was perfect
Have you stopped laughing yet? I'm concerned for you...
MICHAEL AND WOMEN??
a koo-do-doodle-do a koo-do-doodle-do
that always kills me
SAME
1:29 is even better Imo, was so unexpected and perfect 😂🤣
I just love the fact everyone in the family has their own "style" of chicken dance
And they all immediately understand what it is
@TheSapphireDragon1 I feel like Buster's the one who'll dance right. He did tell Gob that chickens don't clap
Lmao and they’re all pretty much not even a chicken
Yeah and they all make different sounds too
SAME
Lucille's impression comes the closest to actually resembling a bird.
a coodle doodle do
turkey sounds
@Mr7Reality that's like perfect tho
Lies again? Chicken Feet
Well she is an old bird
The fact that he can’t do the dance because he hurt his ankle doing the same dance a day prior is one of the many reasons this show is amazing.
"I hurt my ankle shooting hoops or something"
I want to see buster yelling "mother" after Gob hurts his ankle
Calling a guy who enlis... well, whose mother enlisted him in the Army in wartime, a "chicken". Classic Gob.
"CHICKEN DON'T CLAP!"
Gob's dance is the best. He makes e a bad chicken impression look douchey as well as idiotic.
Niamh _ - It's the way his fingers are spread/extended, I swear. He doesn't clap like normal, he makes it mildly short bus.
Classic GOB, @@Kareragirl LOL ...douchey & idiotic! :-D I miss that show... it was so damned funny!
@@Kareragirl He also sells it the hardest.
@@Kareragirl gob makes everything douchey, that's his power.
I just noticed how excited Tobias was to see Gob's dance
I think that episode he was trying to get Gob to include him in his act.
Two running gags; Tobias (who everyone loves) convinces everyone he's gay. GOB (who pisses everyone off) does a terrible chicken impersonation.
@@grungefreak10 Well, I Love Gob and Tobias pisses me off...
@@grungefreak10 who loves Tobias?
@@Viqtorrr Damn, I posted that so long ago that I forgot about it. But my friends and family think Tobias funny. And I hear he was originally supposed to be a guest star, but the test audiences liked him so much that they made him a regular character.
George Sr.'s chicken dance is hilarious
his is the best one defo
Isn't that Oscar?
+Tony Lockett Nope! In this episode, Oscar is still in jail after George Sr. tricked him.
Dot com
It's my favorite one. I always do that now, "Coo-Coo Kechaaa"
Rest in peace, Jessica Walter. Thank you for making us laugh all these years.
Wow I had no idea she passed... Just brought tears to my eyes.
A coodle doodle do.
A coodle doodle coodle doodle do.
Oh my god, didn't realized she already gone...RIP😢
I love how even though these chicken sounds are just absurd, the entire family recognizes what they're trying to do.
They usually call the person a chicken beforehand, so it's not hard.
@@roguishpaladin Even if they just show up for the dances, they always know what's up.
I love how buster understands how chickens sound yet the rest of the family don’t
You can always tell a Milford boy...
Buster, as sheltered as he is, has experienced a lot of things.
And Michael.
Buster is educated. He's majored in pretty much everything in college.
He’s a scholar
I think this is briliant comedy because it manages to make basically unfunny physical comedy into a hilarious bit.

Nika Zardiashvili geez. nothing makes comedy funnier than dissecting it. eye roll.
Eric Hodosh more like Eric Hodouche.

Literally
One of the funniest things ever made. God this show was great.
markwest1987 season 5 comes out next year😬
fucking A bro
*is. Hopefully.
CHA CHICHA CHICHA CHICHA
Hers is my favorite
its like a pokemon lol
Lindsay’s dance always cracks me up. I love when they have groups doing it.
George Sr.'s will always be my favourite one!
Funniest by far imo
@@shanehonish5718 Yes!
There's always money in the 🍌stand
It's so fucking unexpected and he only does it once in the series I think. So good
The utter chaos of all three doing a different chicken dance is oddly impressive. I would be laughing way to much
KooKoo Kacha! Kokoo Kacha!
Gob waltzing in and asking "What's this?" The pure delight on his face!
Has this show actually made anyone else forget how a chicken is supposed to sound and act
coo-coo ca chaaaa!!!
KOO KEE KOO! KOO KEE KOO! KOO KEE KOO!
Woof woof woof.. meow.. barf barf.. idk feel like it's the third one.
A toodle doodle doo!
yes i genuinely can’t remember how an actual chicken impression goes😭😭
Gob's bored "koh-ka-koh-ka-koh" on the scooter is my favorite Gob chicken impression moment.
He knows it's incomplete without the dance.
"MICHEAL AND WOMEN??"
It's funny when you remember Micheals wife died
The way Michaels face slightly sinks at 1:33 is so underrated
2:11 "Wait, wait I have the perfect thing". I love Gob's dance the best.
2:37 I love how happy Tobias was to see Gob's dance hahahahahah
Tobias might understand that early 20th century Mexicans labeled the dance homosexual.
This show was so criminally underrated. 7,000 seasons of the bachelor/bachelorette crap & good shows like this bite the dust. It's insane.
This show lost its way in the fourth season (if my memory serves me right) where Michael stays in his son's hostel room.
@@BupeshKumar1 That's not entirely fair. 5 years past before it came back. I'd say It's a miracle they actually even got the full cast back.
Yea the 4th season would have been way better if done right away. Lindsay looks like a different person and the editing is garbage.
@@bena3341 I think was trending down even in 3rd season. Still good, but should have ended there, IMO.
@@bena3341 The Fateful Consequences re-edit of season four was *much* better than the original release. I couldn't even finish the first edit of season four, but Fateful Consequences felt like the original again.
RIP to Mama Bluth. She was a legend.
EVERY time I see this I start laughing - no matter how many times I have seen this!
Its perfect...seriously perfect...
“Caw-ca-caw, caw-ca-caw, caw-ca-caww!”
“Cha-chicha-chicha-chicha!”
“A-coodle-doodle-do! A coodle-doodle-do!”
“Koo-koo-kachaaa! Koo-koo-kachaa!”
They’re all amazing lmao, I love how each family member has their own rendition of the chicken dance it never gets old
I think Gob’s more “KOK-KOK-KAWW-KOK-KAH-KOK-KAH-KAWWW
Absolutely unhinged , I love it
every once in a while, i come and watch this video and laugh so hard i actually tear up a little!
Today, those tears are a mixture of happiness and sadness... RIP Jessica Walter... :(

Love Michael's face drop here as we hear Lucille start her version of a chicken. Reminds me of the mayonegg scene. I don't think Michael likes anything related to egg.
@@stringzoflife Which came first, the chicken dance or the mayonegg?
Has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken?
Gob’s excitement when he walks in on them all dancing! 😂
the sad ‘doo :(‘ at 2:14 is the funniest shit
Lindsay's is supreme. Those high kicks get my every time.
"... these aren't even birds- I am not.. that's enough! There are people working here.." haha Michael played the straight man so very well
I love how Lindsay’s chicken dance leg kicks got higher
Chicle?
- Chicle? YOU ARE THE CHICLE, NOT ME! CAWKA CAWKA CAWKAAA CAWWWW!"
*Chiclett
He had to be forcibly restrained from continuing, hahaha
"Usted baila como un hombre que vive como mujer."
“You’re the chicklet not me “ LMFAO best show ever
Lindsay has pretty good footwork.
Even when acting so stupidly silly, Lucille is always QUEEN.
This brought me boundless joy.
2:37 that fucking face gets me every time
This is one of the best running jokes in the show
i freakin love this running gag of the chicken dance. though buster losing his S*** was priceless. him and michael are the only ones in the entire family that seem to know what a chicken sounds like.
Lucille’s sad little “doo...” after Michael tells them to stop in the last one is so funny
So many long running gags in this show. I love them all!
i love the fully unnecessary pan over to tobias in the kitchen when gob comes out with the chicken mask
A Coodle Doodle Doo will live on!! R.I.P Lucille Bluth
One thing I love about this show is the subtle humor. We know that even Lucille 2 doesn't know what a chicken is either because when she sees the ostrich brought back by Lindsay and Marky, she refers to it as a chicken 😂
Lucille calling that investor a chicken is one of the greatest jokes in this entire show with the context of the entire show 😂
I can’t believe I never noticed George Sr’s impression has different poses! 😂
Tobias smiling in the end: why is him just standing there and smiling so freaking hilarious?!?
I just started watching Arrested Development on ROKU TV because of a commercial with this dance on it. It cracked me up, and continues to crack me up every time I see it. This is a funny show. I know I'm late to the party, and preaching to the choir, and I'm sure there are a few more cliches, but I just wanted to chime in. funny stuff.
Lindsay: (Takes a DEEP breath) Cha-CHEE cha-CHEE cha-CHEE cha-CHEE!! 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder how they chose the different dances for each character. Did the actors just come up with them themselves?
The actor who plays Gob said the script just said "Gob does his chicken dance". He went to the producers to ask what it was and the 3 of them did stupid chicken-related dances for a while to figure out what worked, probably looking like absolute lunatics.
I’ve rewatched this so many times I actually can’t remember what an actual chicken sounds like
How tf did Jason Bateman get through the scene with the three of them doing their chicken impressions in front of him?!
Lucille's chicken dance is the best chicken dance, and I STAND BY
"has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken"
Everyone’s got a chicken dance until Michael says that’s enough.
The silent film bit of the dance is so hilarious.
"These aren't even birds" 🤣🤣😂😂
"Has anyone in this family even seen a chicken"😂😂
Lindsay impression is the best HAMSBXISBSISBXHX
The dramatic music playing when Sr thinks he might have to stay with Lucille is top notch
2:12 "That's enough."
.. [disappointed last "doo"]
My most favorite part of this show..Thank you so much for this video :)
This show was ahead of its time. Seasons 1-3 are perfect.
Remind me not to watch this in the middle of the library.
Azalea Woodley lmaoo
Or with any fluid in my mouth...
Azalea Woodley I dare you to
Dont watch this in the library
R.I.P. Lucille Bluth
They're all hilarious, but I love how Lindsay's "Chachi, chachi, chachi" plays into Chachi's becoming their attorney instead of the Fonz (though the Fonz was missed Season 3).
Wow the LAYERS!! I’ve loved this show for so long and still uncover new things. 🤣
Just needs michaels and tobias' impressions
And Buster's
As far as I remember, only Gob, Lucille, Lindsay and George Sr. ever did the chicken dance. But I might be wrong, it's been a while -- another reason to rewatch the show once again!
Michael and Tobias both did impressions (Michael in the car and Tobias as a chicken in a cage) but they didnt dance.
+Mar Pepin
Buster never did a chicken dance. He respects chickens too much.
George-Michael started to do one in season four, but he was interrupted by the person on the phone telling him that the Fakeblock domain was available. :)
Haven't watched this show in a decade.....but I've watched this video a million times.
1:26 When we can see on Michael's face what's about to happen before she even starts to do the chicken dance ... lmao ... the funnies parts of this show are almost always in the details, and they're usually not even spoken words, like Tobias at 2:30
Now, whenever I happen to see a chicken I always tell it "you're doing it wrong".
"no one in this family has seen a chicken" lol
I don't know who's chicken I love most😂 they're all hilarious 😂❤😂
Philosophical question inspired by Arrested Development:
Which came first, the chicken dance or the mayonegg?
Fun fact: The only way to stop their chicken dances is to calmy say "that's enough".
george senior chicken dance is the funniest 😭😭
the mexico chicken dance scene has to be one of the funniest moments of the show.
You know I thought this might not be funny after the seventh time watching it but nope. It still makes me laugh-cry every time.
It amazes me that AD didn’t have a larger following. It’s well written and SO funny!
Lindsey's and George Sr. chicken dances are the funniest to me.
This series was so incredibly funny, so many well-written skits yet the one that ends up cracking me up all the time is this stupid fucking chicken bit rofl
No one does straight face among nutty funny people like Bateman lol
I always wondered how many times he laughed before being able to maintain a straight face through an entire take.
This show is a masterpiece
okay but lindsays chicken dance is the best
Lindsey definitely has the best chicken dance!
Honestly this is the most "normal" thing this family does lol
Regardless of what you think of the revival seasons, you got to admit that waiting until the very last episode to finally reveal what Michael's chicken dance looks like, was ingenious.
Arrested is the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life I swear
This is the best show ever created
Lindsey’s chicken dance is the best fight me
Best chicken dance:
1. Gob (Original Chicken Dance)
2. George Sr.
3. Lucille
4. Lindsay
5. Michael
The Notorious Lindsay gets 2, she has a amazing one
This is gold. I love this show so much ahahhaha
One of the show’s best running gags
I can’t even remember what a real chicken impression is now wtf
finally got to see Michael's chicken dance
