This is a scene from the show Arrested Development. Throughout the show, there's an ongoing joke of the family always making chicken noises and dancing, but this is when the family all does it together. This is one of the most memorable scenes from the show because none of the "chicken noises" actually sound like a chicken. Additionally, none of the dances actually look like a chicken. It's funny because Michael finally points it out, and no one had said anything about it until then. Also, Gob comes in at the end and missed everyone dancing. This pretty much sums up Gob as a character, and it's really funny when it's just him and Tobias. The chicken dances are one of my favorite parts of the show, and this is the one I remember most because it's the funniest.
"Has anyone in this family ever seen a chicken?" may be the best moment from that entire scene; apparently, the answer for that one would definitely be "no!", unless they have observed chickens that I've never seen (perhaps from Mars). I like this scene because it provides an insight into the TV show, its characters, and the family, to the viewers, regardless if they've seen other episodes of the show or not. I'll (sadly and unfortunately) admit that I've never seen an episode of this show, but this brief scene provided me with an understanding of what the humor is like on the show, and how the characters are all a little strange and unique. I may have to watch this show after all, which if I'm honest, I've meant to watch it before anyway.
ReplyDeleteThis video just made me smile today! I love how the video is short and gets straight to the point. I feel like long videos can sometimes take away from the meaning of the writing but this didn't at all. I love that it is to the point and that someone who hasn't seen the show can understand the humor behind the show itself. Additionally, I like how you took the time in your post to address the characters by name. Overall, nicely done post! :)
