Has anyone ever been to Mexico? What about twice in the same day? Did you ever leave some there you shouldn’t have? Did you ever go in search of a family member who has escaped police custody? You have! You’re just as crazy as the Bluth family in their second season.

“Big Yellow Joint, big yellow joint…” Yes that’s exactly what it sounds like. On this very special episode of our favorite show, we learn drugs + the Bluths = well, a regular day for them, but crazy one none-the-less. Michael is very disappointed when his son George-Michael comes home with an A- on a test. While on the opposite of the parenting Richter scale Lindsay (Michael’s twin sister) could honestly care less her daughter Maeby got a C- on her test. Michael tells Lindsay it might be good to have boundaries for her child, while Lindsay blasts back that Michael has TOO MANY for his child. Lindsay says Michael is just as horrible as their father was while they were growing up. Their father George Sr. used to hire a one-armed man named J. Walter Weatherman, to teach them very important life lessons (whether it was Michael spilling ice cream in the car, or not leaving a note, etc, J Walter would always loose his fake arm to scare the kids).

Sometimes I believe that prison is better than my life. George Sr. plays the softball game of his life, as Michael anxiously tries to coax out of his father information that would help get him out of jail. But, to no luck, George is having too much fun playing! Michael returns to the office and is greeted by Kitty (played by the amazing Judy Greer), his neurotic secretary. We learn she was first George’s secretary who was fiercely loyal to him in everyway.

Marta, Gob’s a real winner, isn’t he? You play the part of devoted girlfriend, but when it comes time for your day in the spotlight he really does forget the little people who made everything possible. Life isn’t fair isn’t it? While you get yourself nominated for a Daytime Desi (Daytime Emmy for Spanish Soap Opera Stars), he decides it’s key to perform his little magic tricks to get back in with the Alliance. I mean c’mon, seriously, do you really think he’s going to pull it off? I didn’t think so. I don’t see him locking himself up into his father’s prison and escaping unharmed.

Oh Cornballs! No I didn’t just curse at you. The Cornballer is a Bluth family device used to make delicious, but harmful cornballs. George Sr. had tried to market this product in the late 70s, but failed when it kept burning people. It was later outlawed in the U.S. and Mexico.

Welcome to Arrested Development, where no matter what, the Bluth family is always much worse than your own family. We meet the Bluth family on a yacht where they are celebrating the retirement of George Bluth Sr., C.E.O of the Bluth Company.

Enter Michael Bluth. The poor guy has it bad, he’s waited 10 years for his father to make him a partner in the company. Lucile Bluth comes down the stairs from the top deck to tell Michael she can’t believe a group of gay men are staging a protest during her husband’s party. The men protesting are dressed up as pirates (this will later become important). Lindsay Bluth Funke (Michael’s twin sister) can’t understand why her mother is so upset, until she realizes one of the men is wearing the same top she owns. Now she’s mad.

FADE IN THEME SONG:

“Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything and one son who had no choice but to keep them all together, it’s Arrested Development.”

FADE OUT:

Thank you narrator Ron Howard. You said it best; we have a wealthy family who has lost everything and a son who must keep these people (or more like colorful characters) in check. Yeah…That’s just the beginning….

Raise your hand if you like to laugh! ME! ME! ME! Okay, so how about this, do you like to laugh so hard that it might seem slightly abnormal about how many times it happens in the course of 21 minutes? You do? Then you will love the brilliance that was Arrested Development.
