I know its so funny and sad at the same time. He trying to hold back tears, I think thats my favorite part of the episode
And that song that plays when lindsey in mirror is "I Get Up" By David Schwartz and Gabriel Mann. You can find it on the special feature of Season 1 Disc 1

What song is playing at the end of the episode? It plays just after Buster leaves the boardroom.

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!
