Arrested Development Season 5: 18 WTF Moments
15. Lt. Toddler Doesn't Get "ANUSTART"
Last season, Tobias got a custom license plate that reads "ANUSTART", intended to symbolise him getting "a new start" in life, but of course, just about everybody reads it as "anus tart."
Not Lieutenant Toddler (Rebecca Drysdale), though, the police officer investigating Lucille 2's disappearance. After Michael spells the license plate out for her, she reads it as "a new start", much to Michael's surprise.
He tells her, "If you saw it written out, I don't think that you would...Let me try this one on you - A-N-A-L-R-A-P...", at which point he realises she's a lost cause.
As a callback to two of the show's best ever gags, while cementing Lt. Toddler's personality in one fell swoop, this was a killer - and very, very weird - back-and-forth.
