Recap / Arrested Development S4E2 "Borderline Personalities"

Go To

Moving to his twin brother's property on the Mexico/US border in order to start construction on "The Wall", a project that aims to keep out immigrants, George starts a get-rich-quick scheme, the "Sweat and Squeeze".


Tropes:

  • Brick Joke: This episode finishes one from the very first episode of the show.
    Young Barry: Yeah, because they don’t have to be together, because you can’t try a husband and wife for the same crime, right?
    Barry's father: ...Sure.
    Young George: We have the best [bleep]ing attorneys!
  • Call-Back: When arriving back from stealing the Queen Mary, Lucille says "look what the homosexuals have done to me!", as she claims to plan that the hot cops had set her up.
  • Double Vision: Finally we see Oscar and George Sr. interact via this trick.
  • Good News, Bad News: Barry Zuckerkorn tries to sell bad news as this.
  • Overly Long Gag: The smoke transfer joke with Buster and Lucille goes on for too long.
