One of the best episodes on the show’s run. So many great moments; my personal favorite being when Gob fell out of the coffin, then the coffin fell on him, and then got buried.
Oh, how I love this show.
The whole thing about “pop pop” in the attic had me cracking up.
If only we could have a Scrubs/Arrested Development crossover.
So many great things:
– You gotta love a show that goes for the laugh two seconds in. I was dying over Gob’s “poof” comment and Michael assuming he’s talking about the new hire. By the time Gob’s flashback came on, I had tears coming from my eyes.
– Michael called Ann “Egg” again. And I loved the bit where Michael said he left a message and Ann says, “No you talked to me.”
– All the flashbacks of little Buster were hilarious. “Buster threw what he thought was the maid’s favorite toy at what he thought was her car.” And of course, his Army stripper uniform, complete with a spandex leotard underneath. Him trying to get in on Gob’s act by dancing behind the coffin was the icing on the cake.
– Blue dot returns!
– Tobias doing his John Wayne impression and then freaking out about his missing eggs.
– And as mentioned, the Saddam and Charlie Brown references were pure comedy gold.
Man, I love this show.
Great episode. I loved the stripper clothes, the blue dot, Buster’s childhood and of course the Peanuts tribute. Say did anyone catch the dog lying on top of the red dog house as George Michael walked by? It was really quick but I swear it was there.
No, but I taped the episode so I’ll be looking for it on repeat.
i noticed it in the commercials, its SO totally there. and the dog is suitably beagle-esque.
great use of the two repeated themes too: “I don’t know what I’m saying.” and the Peanuts music…

Yup, it was there. Nice addition.
I also love the “very special” music that plays whenever Oscar hints that he’s Buster’s dad.
Haha, just notcied Stiller as the “Poof” magician.
I’d kill to see G.O.B.'s magic show live. Fucking Europe, people! awesome.
Just watched it again and noticed, as Tobias slinks away after finding that someone took his “fucking hard boiled eggs,” behind a cabinet with dishes, etc. there is a giant hole in the wall. The continuity is insane.
Yeah, I thought the dog on the roof was one of the best jokes in the episode.
I thought the doghouse in combination of the Charlie Brown Music was good enough. I didn’t even realize there actually was a beagle on top. AWESOME.
I loved that the political cartoon with George Sr. also featured the Corn Baller.
this was the first episode that didn’t end with Tobias in the hospital.
I suppose they couldn’t keep that gag up forever, but it was still great.
(episode 1, hit by car when he was painted blue at dusk: hospital, episode 2, diamond dust covering entire body: hospital, episode 3, tackled by ICE: hospital)
The icing on the cake?
Last night’s episode was titled, “Good Grief”.
Yeah, but have you seen the new Poof?
Last night’s episode is in my top 3 favorite, if not on the top. Everything came together so well…
“I will be buried in my fathers place!”
Wow this show is a tv geek’s dream.
All these little in jokes here and there are going to make this a legendary show 10 years from now.
I actually thought this show lacked a lot of the guffaws from the first 3 of the season, BUT thats not to say it was bad. It was still very funny, and the charlie brown head drooping throughout the Bluth Men was hilarious.
I loved that GOB maintained his theme music of “the final countdown” for his magic tricks. But I believe his relationship with the new hire at the company that could have led to misunderstandings was HILARIOUS.
Tobias’ John Wayne impression was great.
Rewatched the episode and found a couple more things that had me laughing out loud:
Buster: You mean you can wear stripper clothes when you aren’t stripping?
Gob: *rips off pants* You tell me!
George Michael: There’s Ann! There’s the light of my life.
Pop Pop: Her? *awkward silence*
George Michael: *whispers* She’s funny.
Pop Pop: I hope so.
