It’s such an amazing cast, there really is no reason to pick. Everyone gets moments to shine. But since he hasn’t really been mentioned, I’ll say this - Bateman’s reaction shots are some of the best moments on the show.
I thought the season opener was pretty good, but this past Sunday’s episode was constantly hilarious and inventive.
2nd Episode - amazing.
I was left with a so-so feeling after the season premiere, but this one was gold. I love that depsite Michael’s clear intellectual superiority to the rest of his family, he still has lapses of moronic behavior (it’s Jerry Seinfeld-esque, they seem thrown into the foray as a mere spectator but surprise you with their ability to be just as dimwitted as the supporting cast…
“Isn’t that right, Mr. Manager?”
“Mr. Manager!”
"Manager… We just say ‘manager.’"
G.O.B.'s character is borderline brilliant… the Thomas Jane (fuck that “Tom” shit) cameo was funny. I thought it was going nowhere and they were just pimping him out there… but then…“I want my kids back!”… hilarious.
Dr. Tobias Funke is my hero.
Just caught up on the first two episodes. This show keeps gettimng funnier and funnier.
Episode 1 highlights:
Tobias: I just blue myself.
Buster: Mom volunteered my for the army just because the fat man dared her to.
Doctor: It…looks like he’s dead. He’s got like blue paint on him or something.
Episode 2:
Tobias and Gob ruled the episode. Too many good stuff to name (you all covered most of the good stuff already.)
Oscar’s erection.
“I have no problem with that”.
“Paper covers rock.”
And stuber, I agree with you. Michael doesn’t fall far from the family tree. He may have the business sense, but he was raised by Lucille and George, Sr. so technically Michael is capable of being just as looney as the rest of them. One particular example, is when Michael wanted to teach George Michael a lesson for smoking pot and resorted to playing a practical joke on him the way his dad used to to do himself.
Whenever I am reminded of the “I just want my Kids back!” line that jane delivered at the construction site, I literally laugh out loud.
Also, “you’re a sweet girl and all, but I’m Tom Jane”
Ice is awesome.
While Martin Mull starts to get annoying.
Tobias rules.
“I know you’re the big marraige expert…oh wait, isn’t your wife dead? *silence* I guess that was little inappropriate.”
I disagree with the Martin Mull comment, as Gene Parmesan cracked me the fuck up throughout the entire episode.
Gene Parmesan didn’t crack me up so much as Lucille squealing in delight did whenever Gene revealed himself, even though he was wearing extremely obvious undercover costumes.
However, the whole Ann storyline is quite annoying. I’m not that into it.

Yeah, that’s what made it good, in my opinion, Lucille’s excitement everytime.
My God…Gene Parmesan…I fucking loved him. The best was when he rips off his fake mustache in mexico, when he already has a full friggin beard!!!
Ice was hilarious as well. I loved how he tackled tobias because his color and hair pattern matched the blueprint given to him…also notice that the blueprint was also actually blue another sign of idiocy from the new secretary.
I fucking loved the Quincy Jones thing also.
God I laughed out loud so much during htis episode.
The anne thing is weaker, but that joke about being on anne or something in the car, had me in tears.
Very funny episode!
*kicks picture frame*
“Dammit!! My legs are so powerful.”
The return of GOB’s horrid chicken impersonation was great.
I was reminded of Buster’s reaction when he did it last season:
“Chickens don’t make that noise! CHICKENS DON’T CLAP!”

“Hey, check out who’s on that hog in the rearview mirror.”
“George Michael?!”
I can’t believe I missed that my first viewing. When I caught it the second time…holy shit did I laugh.
Oh and this one too:
“Circumvent. It means to go around.”
“The old reach-around.”
oh my god, i didn’t get the ann as a hog reference until I saw it printed out here HAHAHAA…
I was dying when Buster pops in on his mom and his “uncle” at the end…
“Buster! I thought you were in Mexico!”
“So did I !!!”
Just rewatched this episode and there were so many small things that I missed the first time. The aforementioned hog reference. Michael’s face when he thinks Lindsay is talking about Ann is perfectly aghast. The Mexican shooting the gun in the air at George senior’s funeral and the bullet hitting the guy standing a feet inches away. Lucille saying, “I’m not having an affair with your…uncle”.
This show is awesome!
Is there going to be a new one on Sunday? I was pretty disappointed we didn’t get a new one this week. I can’t wait for a new one. Easily the funniest show on TV.
Wow… that peanuts reference was one of the funniest damn things eeeever
This fucking show…wow.
The Sadaam finding was great. Closely behind the wearing of stripper clothes.
This was definitely worth the wait.
