10 Most Cringe-Worthy TV Sibling Relationships

1. The Bluth Siblings - Arrested Development

Really, the entire Bluth family, but for the purpose of this article, we'll focus on the middle generation of Bluths (glossing over the alcoholism and terrible parenting from Lucille and George, as well as the awkward cousin incest thing going on between George Michael and Maeby). Because honestly, those four could keep a therapist rolling in Cuban cigars and caviar for decades. Gob, as the eldest sibling, is extremely resentful of his younger brother Michael, who is really the only Bluth sibling anyone takes seriously. Michael gets responsibility and their father's trust, which Gob's attempts to develop a career in magic are woefully derided. So he goes from being dependent on Michael to actively sabotaging his ventures...sometimes in the same episode. And let's talk about Lindsay. Most people, upon learning that they're adopted, don't immediately attempt to seduce the person that they grew up thinking was their twin brother. Maybe we're just old-fashioned, but that doesn't seem right. And Buster...well, Buster's just the classic example of the baby of the family.
