#110: Pier Pressure

Amazing that Michael's "you taught me a lesson not to teach lessons?" still makes me crack up every time. While not my absolute favorite episode since it's sort of a "one note" episode, they really got maximum mileage out of that one joke, and Pier Pressure remains a fanastic episode where everyone had a small part, and played it to perfection.

The attention to detail is startling; the three-legged dog, the notes, the sandwich grabbing. And one aspect that really makes this episode for me is the wonderful faux-suspense music during the entire drug deal.

Don't forget, "You killed him when you left the door open with the air conditioning on."

That is one of my favortie lines from the entire show!!!!!!

This is my favorite episode! Espeically after I heard they wrote it because Fox wanted the show to have a more positive message!

One of my favorite lines from the show, as the Hot Cops appear as real cops (and a construction worker!) you hear one of them yell, "STOP! - HE'S RUINING HIS LIFE!"

Yes! It's the little throwaway lines that makes this show great. I like GM: "i'm going to smoke the marijuana like a cigarette". The wording is too funny and very GM: "the marijuana" and "like a cigarette".

This is my favorite episode. My favorite line was when GOB yells out "They're not cops, they're strippers!!! Look how hot they are!!" Classic! :lol:

This is definitely the best episode ever.

best episode... maybe but don't leave out the classic
"G.O.B. had not mailed the letter, he hurled it into the sea in an act of defiance... which proved to be a more difficult act of defiance that he had anticipated"
I'd have to say that Top Banana is my favorite episode, followed SO closely by Pier Pressure and then Storming the Castle.
Fave Quote from Peir Pressure...My gut is telling me no... but my gut is also very hungry
Fave Scene from Peir Pressure, hands down "POLICE, OPEN UP!!! *shotgun blast*

coincidence that they are in the same scene... maybe, but the hot cops are just hilarious, especially G.O.B.

"I was going to smoke the marijuana like a cigarette."
cracks me up as well.

Does anyone get that joke about the au pair? "She was my au pair, I'm the one who cleared my throat and pointed to the laundry room."-Lindsay. Apparently an au pair is some kind of foriegn exchange nanny...but I just don't get it.

Theres a running joke that George has had lots of affairs. And I'm guessing George bought Lucille a piece of jewellery every time he was caught, to apologise. Lindsay thought she deserved the broach for the time when he was caught with the au pair. I think, anyway

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks so much, I've been Googling "au pair" for three days trying to figure it out.

by **stupid bitch julie** » January 13th, 2005, 5:56 am

I know what an au pair is, but I've wondered the same thing everytime I hear that line.

Also, is anyone else completely confused (and bothered) by the lack of continuity regarding the time of day in this episode?! It's my absolute favorite episode, and it drives me nuts everytime I watch it.

For instance, when we see George Michael doing his homework and calling himself dumb, and Michael tells him to stop working and "take the night off" it's obviously, well, night. But then it turns out he goes to work -- and it's daytime?! THEN, he goes to GOB at the docks, and he leaves the note - and it's nighttime. Then Michael questions him, and says, "Your Uncle GOB thinks he saw you down at the docks today." It's also confusing with Maeby at Lucille's. Am I nuts??

he probably just meant on that date. maybe he was given the day off the day before he went to the docks, then got up at 6 AM (the finely tuned inner clock would make sure of that) and posted the note there.

Just like the Bluth's learned valuable lessons with the help of the one armed man. I too learned alot from this episode. A few without the help of the one armed man.

Lessons I learned from that episode:

You can't get good weed for 100 dollars
Don't yell and always leave a note. Learned that one the hardway
The sabbath is now on tuesday and yom kippur is not in the september.
An elephant broach takes the attention off of one's freckles.
Going on a diet and wearing sleeves is a good idea for Lindsey.
The bar for the Bluth refrigerator is officially lowered thanks to a C "mines"
Buster and Lucielle 2's nausea will only lead to other people having nausea.
Finally "Big Yellow Joint" is the catchiest song in the world.!!!

"I and not S-ing around!!!"
