Tobias: It’s Just A Fallacy
Lindsay: My life is a fallacy.
Tobias: (in song) Oooooooooh…. is that a gal I see? (spinning) No! It’s just a fallacy! (jazz hands)
00Your Lips are Like a Murphy Bed
Herbert Love: Your lips are like a Murphy bed, they don’t take up much space but they’re there when I need them.
Kind of strange that Herbert Love would use the Murphy bed in a pickup line. When I think Murphy bed I think old hotel in Chicago, or tiny apartments in New York, not Orange County.

Check out this old timey video of Charlie Chaplin being bested by a Murphy bed. You have nothing better to do.
0Will There Be Arrested Development Season 5?
You’ve watched the first 3 seasons. You’ve Eaten, Prayed, and Loved for Arrested Development Season 4. You gobbled up all 15 new episodes on Netflix. You’ve even read all the critical reviews (they didn’t like it this time either) – but you’re ready for more. Will there be a fifth season for Arrested Development on Netflix?
I think the answer is a resounding maybe!
Check out this business friendly interview on CNBC with Reed Hastings, CEO Netflix. He says that Arrested Development season 4 was “everything they had hoped” for, and would be on board for Arrested Development season 5 if the “talent would be willing”.
If the do season 5, let’s hope they can get more of that talented cast in the same room at the same time, and don’t have to use hardcore green screen (Lucille Austero Maritime Court scene was hilariously horrible). Except the chicken dance. Green screen chicken dance FTW.

Where is Shuturmurg, India?
For those of you hoping to Eat, Pray, Love – you’ll just have to settle for an Ashram somewhere outside of Dubai, because there is no such place at Shuturmurg, India.
Sorry, folks!
0Lindsay Bluth-Funke: Then and Now
Seven years went by between the cancellation of Arrested Development and the return on Netflix. During this time everyone got older. Some got fatter. Some got thinner. Some lost more hair. Some stayed never nude.
The old, snarky Lindsay Bluth from seasons 1-3
Perhaps the biggest change is Portia de Rossi. There are really two different looks for the Lindsay Bluth character (three if you count the red wig character Cindy Featherbottom), the “long hair kharma seeking” Lindsay, and the “short hair bust your balls” Lindsay. You can check out more of the differences over on Buzzfeed.
The long hair Lindsay looks decidedly creepy – probably on purpose due to Hurwitz and Co. Short hair Lindsay is basically Portia de Rossi’s own real look, and yes, after 7 years she does look a bit different, but doesn’t everyone (except Jeffrey Tambor)?
Get real internet – looking different doesn’t mean you don’t look great.
0Can I Just Improv My Way Out Of A Marriage?
Tobias Funke: Can I just improv my way out of a marriage?
When you’ve done as much Improv comedy as David Cross has – Tobias sure can.
I was going to post a YouTube clip of David Cross (Tobias Funke!) and Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman) doing improv for Whoopi on HBO – but it just got too darn spicy for me to post here. Go look it up yourself!
Instead… he can Improv his way out of this.

0Backstory: Tobias Funke’s Neiman Marcus Cutoff Shorts
The LA Times has a great article on the costumes and wardrobe for the cast of Arrested Development.
I wanted to share the following snippet about Tobias Funke’s Never Nude Cutoffs, which are actually women’s designer cutoff jeans from Neiman Marcus!
Quoted from Adam Tschorn’s LA Times article: New ‘Arrested Development’: All re-dressed up and ready to go
The most iconic piece of apparel in the original series run has to be Tobias’ “never nude” denim cutoffs. Where did you find those?
Costume designer Katie Sparks: Mitch said, “Let’s do some cutoffs for Tobias” [played by David Cross] and — I’ve never told anyone this — I was in Neiman Marcus and saw these cutoffs in the women’s section. They were just low enough to cover everything, but they were short-short and had a little fringe. I thought: ‘Oh, my God — these are hysterical!’ They were $150, and I felt like an idiot for buying them … I wish I could remember the exact brand, but they were definitely designer — Givenchy or something. But they were so perfect because they were cut for women and came so high up they looked like underwear.
So that’s how he ended up wearing women’s cutoff jeans from Neiman Marcus.

Tobias: Michael, I appreciate your bravery. I know, now, everything seems doomed. And I’m in a similar situation myself. But trust me – we are fucked. We are fucked. Fucked. Unless some sort of miracle coincidence happens. But, the best thing is to just walk away, and we’ll lick each others wombs. I guess I’m just going to have to give up my dream and my love forever.
Tobias: I’m going to go there with you for moral support. And I will act as your assistant. Maybe I’ll do my famous “gay character”. I don’t think you’ve seen that one.
