@Mike Marlowe i love when (i think at the end of ep1) buster tries to give george michael a back rub for making a funny joke and george michael just uncomfortably slips out of it
I like how in the show, David Cross is a straight actor playing a gay character pretending to be straight while married to Portia De Rossi who is a gay actress playing a straight woman married to a gay man.
His physical acting is overshadowed by the brilliant writing and delivery, especially how he tries to not show physical pain. The gulp after he burns himself on the cornballerer was done just right. "Am I touching something..." lmao
actually he has like maybe two moments of lucidity in the whole show if i remember right? once i think he pointed out michael’s need to be in control and inability to leave work for others to do (i remember bc it was so ooc it made me laugh lmao)
There's a scene where he actually tries to give his cellmate, a Neo Nazi by the name of White Power Bill, therapy, and White Power Bill kills himself. I should also mention Tobias goes to jail at some point.
Your gay? No No (chuckle) I'm not gay, Lindsay how many times must we have this.... The total irony of that whole Tobias being gay gag is the fact that David IS straight and Portia is the one who is actually gay
The genius in George Michaels facial expressions during Tobiases educational talk is underrated. Especially around 9:21, with the deep deep concentration.
One of my favorite Tobias moments was in the episode where he directs the high school play, and when he mentions that in Shakespeare's time the woman's roles were played by men, two of the students just bolt out of the room.
I just realized that he broke all three rules of FOX comedy at once. Nobody would have gotten the joke at the time; he did it specifically just to piss them off lol.
Fox had 3 (absurd) rules for comedy- see rules above (the actor that played Tobias talks about this in an interview). The creative team and Fox mgmt went back n' forth right before shooting the very 1st scene due to Tobias' mustache. So of course they finally got the ok on the mustache and the writers being who they were took it beyond just the no mustache rule and incorporated the other 2 rules (again see above) all in one scene. Arrested Development had a lot of funny non obvious jokes like that. i.e There's a scene where Michael says to his dad "You're no Brad Garrett" well it was due to Jeffrey Tambor (George Bluth) loosing an Emmy to Brad Garett or...
Bluth Family: Undergoing a crisis and can need all the money they can get Tobias Fünke: Has the possibility to get a medical job and make some money, but instead decides to pursue acting *face palm*
he's one of the funniest comedy characters ever. definitely the best on this one. plus the gay denying is copied by Mac from its always sunny in Philadelphia just as well
@@sobored6165 hahah he is definitly camp but not gay i loved how this red herring was flipped by the actual real gay who is of course GOB although he may be BI but he seemed to love that magician. Fuck this who is genius on so many levels.
missing the brilliant, "oh I'm sorry, your wife is dead."
Just watched that episode last night. I was screaming.
The angry, awkward stare of Michael. The way he profusely apologizes afterwards.
Thank you for saving me 10 minutes
ua-cam.com/video/EeglqGC3cco/v-deo.html
& secondably, I know you’re a “marriage expert”... oh yeah, I forgot, you’re wife is dead
"Would you like to try that a little simpler?"
... "No."
Brandon Pike lol, walks out with 2 thumbs up after obviously bombing it.
They should make that into a meme
@@johnnytravis6697 But they called him for the role anyway, I think.
I can't even see where the knob is!
George Michael always looked so acutely horrified when interacting with his Uncle
@Mike Marlowe i love when (i think at the end of ep1) buster tries to give george michael a back rub for making a funny joke and george michael just uncomfortably slips out of it
Also endearing because he tries so hard to care , he plays board games with Buster.
When he buys the letter outfit and sits between george michael and maybe
You mean he wasn’t trying to get his rocks off?
His uncle T-bag?
David Cross plays a bad actor so well. He's so good at being so bad. I love it!!!!
Just like Kaitlin Olson in Its Always Sunny lol
I love his habit of pronouncing words in wannabe-thespian manner. Words like director, theater and elephant.
Should check him out in The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.
Well excuuuuuuse me
Check him out in "Todd Margaret".
Michaels deadpan reactions to his family’s insanity is the best part of this show.
Yes I love how he’s like the only voice of reason it’s so funny
It’s a tossup between Michael’s deadpan expression, Maeby’s embarrassment and George Michael’s horror.
Absolutely - in fact it worked so well he carried it over into Ozark.
The best part of the show is the writing
It’s literally the only thing Jason Bateman does. Same delivery in every single role.
Lindsay how many times must we have this...
Gets me everytime xD
Its literally impossible to not read that in his voice
Sandwich?
My favourite AD jokes are the ones where I couldn't even explain why they are so funny.
I don't understand why the nevernude thing is so funny to me. But it really is.
Beads
Bees?
Beads.
BEADS?
The part where Gob says I fucked Nashgasbalarlam and his facial expression almost killed me
Why did they cut it
George michaels forbidden longings always killed me.
I'm afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry
run if you will, so I'm afraid I have something of a mess on my hands.
there were so many poorly chosen words there....
Thunderjerk I need to start using this in real life
Biggest understatement
You sir are a mouthful!
One of the funniest quotes ever
I used to laugh at Tobias but now I'm Tobias swear to god.
I understand more than you'll...never know...
Vincent Adultman This all looks like appropriate business.
So you're a never nude?
No one understands better than me.
Shut up Kaizen, you are a worse psychiatrist than you are a son in law, and you will never get work as an actor cos you have no talent
David Cross's physical comedy and timing is just stupendous!
I wonder what's up between David Cross and Burt Cort. The two have issues
well EXCUUUUuuuUUUUuuUUUSE ME!...excuse me.
URiAH the dance kills me
i do this dance every day
i love tobias!
The most mis-marketed show to have ever been on TV
It's criminally underrated
That Sir, is a fact.
So true…..comedy gold
Fox bad
@@killerseddie8295 It absolutely is and I like your Profile Picture Dude Iron Maiden is an awesome band
I like how in the show, David Cross is a straight actor playing a gay character pretending to be straight while married to Portia De Rossi who is a gay actress playing a straight woman married to a gay man.
so meta
Too bad her real life partner is a sociopath.
for real, if i had to, i could totally bang out portia.
no problem.
@@robertraft thank you UA-cam commentor Robert raft, very cool!
He’s not gay in the show lol that’s the joke. He’s a straight man who appears very gay.
6:59 It took me years to realise that the denim covering the ass chaffs is another never nude joke lol
thats pretty sad
You mean chaps?
oh my god
The jeans are under the chaps. The chaps are actually leather pants with holes cut out. They don't make ass-less pants. I made a cosplay of this.
@@TheCrazierBW not really
The best of Tobias funke is every single time he speaks (and sometimes when he isn't speaking)
That is so true.. This entire show is like you can't really sum up "the best scenes" cause every scene is the best!!
like that time he blue himself.
Accurate. Just looking at him and it is a best moment.
the scene where he thinks george michael is a never nude is just GOLDEN
He pretty much flashed a high schooler
you mean its never not golden?🤣🤣
The mix up between
"The Gothic Castle" and "the Goth Asshole" is priceless.
This show is simply comedy gold 😂❤️
I’ve been to both places and highly overrated
arsehole not asshole
Danke shon!
"I'm here for the magic"
"Analrapist" still cracks me up sometimes from nowhere.
His physical acting is overshadowed by the brilliant writing and delivery, especially how he tries to not show physical pain. The gulp after he burns himself on the cornballerer was done just right. "Am I touching something..." lmao
Your sentence doesn't make sense, acting can't be ''overshadowed'' by writing, these two work in tandem, and those two are different categories
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 .........................
I love how the doctor checks his file again around 5:30 - like he's checking if he missed some kind or medical condition on his records
Tom Segura has a story - maybe fake of course - about his doctor writing “gay?” on his chart
That detail always cracks me up
@@jonathannagel7427 That wouldn't fit here. He would have checked for some mental disorder/condition in this case.
I've seen it dozens of times but still laughed out loud for 30 seconds
4:41 Tobias falling while seated in the chair is one of the most unexpected things! I can’t help but laugh every time I see it.
While saying the word "adult!"
"When a man needs to prove to a woman that he's actually..." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
and with deep, deep concentration
and great focus, he is often able to achieve an ere....
George Michael has the best interactions with Tobias lol so much weirdness
They balance each other perfectly
OH MY GOD WE ARE HAVING A FIRE .. sale
Mohammed Salah mo salah mo salah mo salah
Mohammed Salah dont leave liverpool YNWA
"with deep deep concentration and great focus he is often able to achieve an ere..".
lol, the writers were genius
There's a new daddy in town... He's a discipline daddy!
Vitor Silva "gonna spank your behind, uh huh."
It's a parenting tape. x)
somewhere over the rainbow, theres another rainbow
Portia's Australian accent comes out every once in a while.
1:10
Can you imagine Tobias actually providing clinical treatment as a psychiatrist?😟
actually he has like maybe two moments of lucidity in the whole show if i remember right? once i think he pointed out michael’s need to be in control and inability to leave work for others to do (i remember bc it was so ooc it made me laugh lmao)
He’s not just a psychiatrist, he’s the best damm analrapist in town
@@maireadyoung8084 yes and if im not wrong he also say lucid things to lucile when hes treating her
I'd pay to watch that
There's a scene where he actually tries to give his cellmate, a Neo Nazi by the name of White Power Bill, therapy, and White Power Bill kills himself. I should also mention Tobias goes to jail at some point.
I remember watching this show and just feeling SO bad for this dude
5:49 I miss this show so god damned much.
new season coming
B. Roekman it's not the same :(
Coming, huh huh.
Sarah K. Are we still doing phrasing?
Your gay? No No (chuckle) I'm not gay, Lindsay how many times must we have this.... The total irony of that whole Tobias being gay gag is the fact that David IS straight and Portia is the one who is actually gay
Why would you think the actors lives have anything to do with the jokes?
Sebas Bruvi he was pointing out the irony
What about the scene when he talks about the vagina monologue and she licks her lips 😂
Sebas Bruvi dude THATS the fucking irony.....
Sebas Bruvi must not watch much arrested development
The season 1 gag where different aspects of the model home constantly break is so damn funny
My favorite running gag, more than tobias, or gob's life: How hot that damn cornballer was.
😂😂😂😂😂 same!
Portia breaking character at the very end is the highlight of my day
I love at 3:55 when he can't handle the pain from the cornballer burn.
"Excuuuuuse me"
excuse me
with deep,deep, concentration and with great focus..
6:58 Oh man how did I never notice the cut offs poking through the assless chaps before ahahaha
This is the show that just keeps on giving.
Do these effectively hide my thunder?
Best scene 😂
"Do these effectively hide my thunder?"
How do you do a best of tobias when every single thing he does is pure gold? Arrested Development is one of the best shows ever
The genius in George Michaels facial expressions during Tobiases educational talk is underrated. Especially around 9:21, with the deep deep concentration.
Gotta give it to Maeby and Micheal for always showing a straight face inspite of all the madness.
Micheal inspite
His fire sale auditon HAS to be ad libbed. It's just too good.
One of my favorite Tobias moments was in the episode where he directs the high school play, and when he mentions that in Shakespeare's time the woman's roles were played by men, two of the students just bolt out of the room.
... And scene.
Would you like to try that again a little more simpler?
tolstoy143 no
OMG WE ARE HAVING A FIRE!!!
sale..
AMAAA ZING GRAACE
Can't even see where the knob is!!!
Evacuate all the school children!
And, scene.
2:45 - 3:04 feels like tobias' character summed up in about 10 seconds
David Cross you fucking genius.
This show is just way, way ahead of its time
David Cross is a genius, I can't believe for most of my life I only knew him as 'that guy from chipmunks'
Make sure to check out Mr Show! He did it with Saul Goodman!
I didn't know he was in the Chipmunks.
@@olliefoxx7165 yes he’s uncle ian on alvin and the chipmunks
He did the voice of Megaminds sidekick.
elephaunt
That doctor's clipboard squeaking perfects the scene ( 5:27 ).
I just realized that he broke all three rules of FOX comedy at once. Nobody would have gotten the joke at the time; he did it specifically just to piss them off lol.
LoL... Oh $hit... I just got that... The no hats/head covering, no mustache and no long/frilly sleeves.
what are you talking about?
Fox had 3 (absurd) rules for comedy- see rules above (the actor that played Tobias talks about this in an interview). The creative team and Fox mgmt went back n' forth right before shooting the very 1st scene due to Tobias' mustache.

Lmao remember when they did the advertising for Burger King
S So Lovely which scene?
I never noticed the cutoffs peeking through the leather daddy outfit before LMAO i am DYING
Theaiter
My favorite line is "Oh yeah, aren't you the BIG relationship expert... OH WAIT. YOUR WIFES DEAD."
"...."
3:55 might be the funniest physical comedy bit I've seen anywhere ever😂😂😂 The perfect over reaction by Tobias!
9:22 with deep DEEP concentration and and GREAT focus he is able to achieve... LOL how the hell could he still not accept his homosexuality...
You're 100% right I don't think he's actually gay. He's just severely unaware.
@@jackjansen4704 he’s 100% straight, the whole joke is he just has so many poorly chosen words.
He is OFTEN able to achieve 😂
I imagine that the dude's expression at 2:48 is the same look that Fox execs repeatedly had after screening episodes of "Arrested Development".
And the question at 2:57 is probably what they asked.
4:19 is genius
Wolfatadoor Shit like that is why Tobias is the best character
Brilliant writing and acting, along with a stellar cast. LOVE AD!!
you left out
"I'd like to kiss that man between the cheeks"
I love Tobias’ irrepressible positivity despite repeated setbacks and humiliations.
This is one of the funniest compilations I've ever seen. I was dying. Perfection. Great actor, great character, great show. Pure genius.
ExcuUuUuUuse me
This show is literally the reason why I have the weirdest humor.
If I was ever in a big crowd and someone yelled "FIRE" I would instinctively utter "sale" under my breath.
Blissful comedy. Keep coming back to this video. Never fails to make my day better.
I love that he's a nevernude, yet he wears this incredibly small jean short instead of a normal boxer
Him crying in the shower is everything
1:15 You can hear Portia's Aussie accent
Bluth Family: Undergoing a crisis and can need all the money they can get
Tobias Fünke: Has the possibility to get a medical job and make some money, but instead decides to pursue acting
*face palm*
It's 2021, and David Cross is still my favorite character from this show. He was so underrated. ALL of the characters were super funny though.
when he says "lovely" at 3:38
I don't know why but it kills me every time.
1:06
I love how he's reciting this as if he was on the job looking out a windowsill, but it's a fucking mantle over a fireplace lol
No one else could have played Tobias.
The best ones where he meets the other nevernude and says he didnt see him at the convention
2:37 The editing in that scene always kills me.
At 9:39 all 4 actors break character and try to stop laughing because this scene was shot by surprise
So they just happened to sit quietly and eat and drink coffee with cameras on, when he surprisingly came naked in?
Bullshit mate
@@madshst9083 Perhaps they were expecting him to come in clothed.
@@danthemankhan i doubt it. The scene was scripted to Tobias overcompensating.. i just think it's a normal scene that took them by surprise anyway
"Would you like to try that a little simpler, maybe" "...........no"
You all should show some more respect to Tobias. He's the worlds first analyst and therapist.
AHHHMAAAAAHHHHH
THIS ISN'T A FEVER!!!
ZIIIIINNG GRAAAAAACE
CAN'T EVEN SEE WHERE THE KNOB IS
0:20 “don’t uh do that” gets me every time
he's one of the funniest comedy characters ever. definitely the best on this one. plus the gay denying is copied by Mac from its always sunny in Philadelphia just as well
My two favourite shows
He isnt gay just very naive
@@sobored6165 hahah he is definitly camp but not gay i loved how this red herring was flipped by the actual real gay who is of course GOB although he may be BI but he seemed to love that magician. Fuck this who is genius on so many levels.
Jason Bateman was so hot in Arrested Development.... Damn
2:40 actually kills me, the intense screaming just immediately and harshly cutting to an uncomfortable silence for 8 seconds straight lMAOOO
To this day I still don't know how they got that gothic castle joke past the FCC.
Can't tell you enough how glad I am that you started the video this way. Even seasons olds he's the same tobias.
"You're playing two adults with fully formed libidos, not two men playing grabass in the shower."
“...you selfish country music-loving lady!” 😆
“Lindsay... how many... times... must we have this...”
I can't imagine anyone else playing Tobias
The "well exuuuuuuuuse me" bit fucking kills me everytime.
somebody crown this guy already lmao
"Did you get a job?"
"No, unless you consider the world's coolest daddy a job."
Tbf it would’ve been a way better ad if Tobias did the fire sale the way he did it. Attention grabbing and hilarious.
Isn’t that why he’s second on the Call list or was that a different job?
"Gothic asshole"🤣😂
"Amaaaaa-This isn't a fever!-zing grace" Probably my favorite Tobias scene ever
That editing makes it soo funny
