Arrested Development: 20 Greatest Running Jokes

7. Tobias' Ill-Judged Word Choices

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axHe_BVY_9c Nobody knows how to misuse the English language like Tobias Funke, in the sense that everything that comes out of his mouth can be taken for a filthy euphemism, much to his own obliviousness (and to Michael's obvious distain). The most famous? "I'm afraid I just blue myself." Tobias, sort of adorable and naive as he is, has no idea as to the kind of things he's accidentally implying. "It's just that there are so many poor chosen words in that sentence," Michael tells him on one occassion. Throughout the series, though, these little moments mount into a rather strong argument for Tobias' closeted homosexuality. How else can you explain such absurdly-phrased (and immensely Freudian) sentences like "I see you wasted no time in filling my seat hole" and "Even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up"? The answer is you can't. For the world's only "Analrapist" (it's pronounced AN-al-RAP-ist), every sentence proves itself to be a fully-erect diaster. There's gotta be a better way to say that.
