In response to "You ever notice that Lana's hands are pretty big?" by Reagen

Gags do not equal plots.

Don't miss the stuff for the stuff, people.

Responses:

"Tobias is closeted" is also a gag. -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 16:01 6
- Not if there is four minutes of it in an episode, it's not. - David Sep 4, 16:06 5
  - I will grant that Tobias is the weakest character of the show, but it's a gag nonetheless. - Reagen Sep 4, 16:11 4
    - Whose side are you arguing with that? -- nm - David Sep 4, 16:54 3
      - The side of truth. - Reagen Sep 4, 17:01 2
        
        Yeah, I politely ignored your nonsense last week. Someone must have messed with your meds. - David Sep 4, 17:07 1
        
        and...line. -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 17:10
Tobias' inability to admit to himself that he is gay is the plot. Arrested Development is about every character's inability to face reality. - Roger More Sep 4, 15:56 3
- You'd have better luck talking up Star Wars to me. -- nm - David Sep 4, 15:58 2
  - That would require actual passion for Star Wars, which I don't have. - Roger More Sep 4, 16:12 1
    - I legitimately see no similarities between Better Off Ted and Arrested Development. - David Sep 4, 16:54
