00:00But we can't imagine a lot of stuff the names in the show mean because the writers love aptronyms.
00:06That's when an author gives a character a name that's a coded clue as to their function in the story.
00:12Dickens used to do it all the time.
00:14In his book Hard Times, there's a teacher who helps students grind so they can graduate named Mr. Gradgrind.
00:21Similarly, in Arrested Development, there's a character named Kitty who literally represents pussy.
00:27And no, I don't mean it in the friendly British way.
00:30Fighting for your country? You're such a pussy.
00:34Seriously, Kitty's motivation in the show is to get sperm inside of her so she can become pregnant.
00:40And her favorite place to meet is Senor Tadpoles. Come on!
00:44George Sr. was in Mexico with his escape accomplice and ex-secretary, Kitty.
00:49It must be my unconscious desire to have a baby.
00:52If you need me, I will be at Senor Tadpoles having a margarita made in my mouth.
00:57You might have thought Kitty was meant to rhyme with titty, and that would have been reasonable.
01:02Bring break!
01:02Help!
01:04Can we please have one conversation that's not about my rack, Michael?
01:08But it's definitely a pussy reference.
01:10And that's not even mentioning that the sperm cooler has Saddam H on it backwards,
01:15and that my rack line is a stealth IRAC sound-alike.
01:19My rack, Michael?
01:20Honestly, there's just too much to touch on, so let's stick to names for now.
01:25Maybe, may be a bluth, but she may not.
01:27And her alter ego is named Shirley.
01:30Anne Veal was raised in a box.
01:32Miss Barely is barely an ethics teacher.
01:34I don't know, I mean, they just threw this class at me after Mr. Daniels had a stroke.
01:38Cindy Light Balloon is part of a sting that involves putting hidden microphones in lights and her balloons.
01:44How we doing?
01:45We have video?
01:46Testing, one, two.
01:48Tobias' last name is Fionke, the German word for Spark, so he's essentially Dr. Sparkle.
01:54Oh, no, sorry.
01:55He gave up his medical license, so I guess he's Mr. Sparkle.
01:58Huh?
01:59Mr. Sparkle!
02:00Mr. Sparkle!
02:01Konnichiwa.
02:02Speaking of which, here's the voice of Homer Simpson, Dan Castellaneta, nailing his guest spot on Arrested Development as Dr. Stein, who ends up pulling several Frankenstein-like surgeries.
02:14It wasn't so inflamed, though.
02:16I knew it.
02:17Rita!
02:18Turned out to be Rita's that really what they were going for?
02:23Okay, I guess I don't stand behind every Arrested Development joke.
02:26Go home, you terrorist!
02:28How stupid do you have to be to say something like that?
02:31You're not wanted here!
02:32No.
02:33No good.
