Who is GOB (George Oscar Bluth)
Ranked #6,496 in Entertainment, #80,740 overall
G.O.B. - Arrested Development's "Professional" Magician
GOB is a the eldest son of patriarch George Bluth. Though rarely successful, Gob is a magician, and he manages to turn every event a magic show. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he tries, in his self-promoting, no-moral-compass way. Beyond all else, he can make you laugh in one line.
G.O.B. is not without his talents, though. He is charming and persuasive - a people person when he wants to be. And, he's great with women (as are his male stripper friends, I'm sure).
C'mon!

GOB Quotes
Gob: And if I'm going to be staying here -
Lucille: Staying here? What, did that Mexican throw you out?
Gob: She's not "that Mexican," Mom. She's my Mexican. And she's Colombian or something. Anyway, it's over.
Lucille: You've got three days.
Gob: Hey ... if I can't find a horny immigrant by then, I don't deserve to stay here.
Michael: I can't believe she got that driver's license renewed.
Gob: She didn't. I dummied her up a new one. Not my best work, though. She wanted to look 48. I nearly airbrushed her into oblivion. Ended up checking "albino" in the form.
Michael: Well you certainly haven't been shopping, all I found in the refrigerator was a dead dove in a bag...
Gob: You didn't eat that did you? 'Cause I only got a couple of days left to return it.
Gob: [about the fake cops] These guys are pros, Michael. They're gonna push the tension till the last possible moment before they strip.
Michael: They're not going to strip, are they?
Gob: I told them not to, but I can't promise that their instincts won't kick in.

The Chicken Dance...It's Catching On

It seems that everyone in the Bluth family has developed their own version of the chicken dance - the likeness to a real chicken is debatable, but the each one has its own charm.So at your next party, get a few friends together and recreate that wonderful scene when the whole family pulls our their chicken dance to use against Michael (the chicken), and be sure to film it for posterity.

More GOB Quotes
GOB: They're pills that create a sort of temporary forgettingness. So if somebody finds out how you do a trick, you just give 'em one of these, and they forget the whole thing. It's a mainstay of the magician's toolkit, like how clowns always have a rag soaked in ether.
George Michael: Uncle Gob, was Aunt Lindsay ever pregnant?
Gob: Yeah, sure, dozens of times.
Gob: Where am I? Am I in two-thirds of a hospital room?
Gob: And now you love the ten commandments. And yet you're the one who so conveniently forgot "Thou shalt protect thy father and honor no one above him unless it be-ith me, thy sweet Lord."
Michael: I'm not sure that one made it down the mountain, Gob.
Michael: I gave you permission to use the yacht. You blew it up.
Gob: Yeah, well, if you give someone permission to use a tissue, you can't be upset if they blow their nose. Right? I mean ...
Lindsay: Is that a shot at me? Because, for your information, I have a job.
Michael: Really? What kind of job?
Lindsay: Beads.
Gob: Bees?!
Lindsay: Beads!
Gob: Beads?!
Michael: Gob's not on board.
Gob: The zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. Sick of playing second fiddle. Always third in line for everything. Tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. [thinks for a moment] There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

- I like GOB anyway I can get him. I am a little confused that he says he is gay in the video because he and Amy (the SNL Hillary Clinton) just had a baby. I think he was kidding.
Anyway, I love A.D. I love GOB and I love Will Arnett whatever he is!
I have featured this lens in The Zaniest, Cleverest Pseudo-Docu-Comedy Ever There is never too much said about this great show.

- Gob, you're just the president in name. And I have no problem with that, but you're starting to alienate the employees.
