I love how G.O.B. is in a robe for almost the whole episode.

Tis my favorite episode. I love the way tobias goes to maeby and is like "i guess you’re waiting for the director. Oh wait! He’s already here!" and rolls onto the stage awkwardly.

Has anyone ever noticed that when George Micheal asks "then there’s a kiss right?" the director yells out "louder", the director sounds an awful lot like Mitch Hurwitz?

I have no idea. Well, if it is, I’ve forgotten. But they said Tony Hale doesn’t like to swear much, so during the bleeped out bits, apparently he’s reciting the alphabet.

Here is an interview with Tony Hale, in which he talks about that scene. He talks about how he doesn’t know a lot of swear words, so he just repeated the same one over and over.
Also, whats up with the Seinfield reference (Art Vandelay) on an AD forum, I mean seriously COME ON!

Actually, I was really only half serious. I digg the Seinfeld reference, never heard of Black Books though. As for the frozen bananas, I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never actually had one.

You’ve just inspired me, bees. My friend lent me her Black Books DVD over a month ago and it’s just been sitting by my computer but today (if I don’t get called in to work in the next hour) I am going to watch it!

this is just the all-forum screen name man. if this had been taken it would have been williethepimp...and im actually pretty surprised it wasnt taken, even though its an arrested development forum.
edit: i have had two people tell me that the last two words of busters rant are "diahrrea motherfucker."
...well, not two people, but one person, and one youtube comment. i think we may be onto something.
