Tobias Funke - Tape Recorder

From the television show "Arrested Development." I do not own the content of this video, and this has been uploaded without malicious intent.

[@blueonblack83]

Jason Bateman is possibly the best straight man I have ever seen on screen.

[@heatherperleberg7816]

David Cross is not

[@faulsname8869]

He is a really underrated dramatic actor too. He’s great in Ozark

[@trequor]

@@cactusmalone In which he ironically is NOT playing the straight man.

[@rtvc2012]

Best straight man since Bud Abbott

[@christianhardtofind6349]

And yet he's hilarious even for playing it straight against everyone else's wackiness.

[@Average_K]

Props to Tobias for actually recording himself for a whole day.

[@mansoortanweer]

That's easy to do when you are unemployed.

[@constanza4909]

Yeh, that was nice. He listened to the advice and actually applied it

[@joeyb2899]

The blue finger marks on the wall in the background lmao

[@spitshinetommy3721]

Jason Bateman is quietly the MVP of this show. His reactions are hilarious.

[@fuzzylarge]

guy's a pro

[@GinniWallin]

His face when George Michael describes the mayonegg (spelling?) always gets me!!

[@matiasaguilar2500]

@Stone Harper c'mon

[@heatherperleberg7816]

Jason Bateman was made specifically for the role of the straight man. David Cross was not.

[@Thejampacker]

@@heatherperleberg7816 I feel more adequate recognition would be appropriate for this comment.

[@garethq]

I can't help but picture michael and tobias on horseback

[@theCAPOSHOW]

Gareth Quirke Tobias is in the back, his arms around Michael, his frail hands on Michael’s shoulders, he rests his cheek softly onto Michael’s back.

[@MadridistAli7]

you don't have to picture them, they actually did it lol

[@user-eu8kr5ub5m]

imagine how hard it was for the whole crew not to laugh on these scenes

[@nothingposted9056]

In an interview with Will Arnett, he says his objective was to make the film crew laugh
So I think they were constantly assailed

[@padraic773]

I wonder if Tobias ever found out where f**K his hard-boiled eggs went..

[@sidharthaa]

Ann ate them.

Lucille and George Senior were the best. The entire cast was great

[@zachsutton2113]

He's such a blowhard

[@KartikeyaDutta]

tobias... you BLOWHARD! LMAOOOOOOO

[@grimmmm]

Davids acting and voice is so unique. My favorite work from him is when hes in ATHF as that banana

[@maxtaetle420]

he’s also great as noah in archer

[@trequor]

I thought he did well as Minion in Megamind

[@NostalgiaforInfinity]

WTF is an ATHF?

Also... You mean Handbanana OP? If so, I never really knew about that character's voice.

[@ivishnukn]

Mrs Featherbottom: Young Master's proposing.
Michael: George Micheal?
Mrs Featherbottom: Master George Michael and Miss..
Micheal: Tobias, where are they?
Mrs Featherbottom: Hey it's me, Tobias.
Don't know how many times I've laughed for this scene.

[@stoneharper7038]

Jason Bateman is the greatest straight man in comedy history

[@free2roam674]

He had a lot of crazy to work with, such a good show.

[@lynxfl]

Well that certainly leaves Tobias out

[@sait_koca]

0:12 his wtf face is hilarious

[@Zerenko]

"i-i hate to see you struggle like this"

[@christianhardtofind6349]

I just love all the stuff on this show that they couldn't possibly get away with now! Just a great era for TV!

[@Me-wx1mt]

Do you imagine how jealous that would make her? **wHeRe’S ToBiAs???**

[@adolphsanchez1429]

Thanks for posting this. It reminded me I need more mini cassette tapes for my recorder.

[@yussufhussein8859]

Imagine a conversation between Tobias and Charles Boyle from brooklyn nine nine.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Yes, I immediately thought about Boyle too!

[@WitherVideos]

Oh you didn’t get any body chocolate

[@1spidog]

tobias is the funniest

[@michaelhuynh4953]

Context shouldn't matter, Tobias...

[@coconutpalm1631]

What a savage punchline

[@GlenLauderdale]

Imagine if Archer was on this show. He'd be saying "Phrasing" constantly. And probably confusing Lucille with his mother.

[@cmoran9103]

I just how Michael kinda loses Tobias interest halfway through the sentence and has to lean over to keep eye contact haha it's so incredible

[@AttilatheThrilla]

Out of context...

[@Moonhart44]

I wonder if Tobias even got that he said many euphenisms

[@NostalgiaforInfinity]

I'm sure he did. But he's in denial throughout the show.

[@squamish4244]

"There's got to be a better way to say that."

[@vegetable_shredder9306]

Season 2 episode 10

[@dank4254]

I remember the first time I saw this in early 2000s and not getting it....and I still don't. I get that it's a double entrendre and the meaning that he's oblivious too. But what is the way he means it as. Like when he soeaks he forces much air out?

[@Sheldor.The.Conqueror]

Oh honey

[@smicksmookety]

It was out of context though.
