4!!The ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' episode "Afternoon Delight" provides examples of:
5
6* ClusterBleepBomb: GOB's harassment speech is almost completely bleeped out.
7* HypocriticalHumour:
8--> '''Michael''': It's family first at the holidays. ''[phone rings]'' Oh, God, it's Mom again.
9* MistakenForRacist: Lucille's innocent comment about Tobias sounds more racist than it was intended. Lucille certainly ''is'' racist, but was not intending to be in this context.
10-->'''Lucille''': Michael, I was almost attacked last night in my own home! I walk in, and there's a ''colored man'' in my kitchen.\
11'''Michael''': "Colored"? What color was he, exactly?\
12'''Lucille''': ''Blue!''
13* OneDialogueTwoConversations: Michael tells Oscar that Lucille has been more grumpy than usual lately, and asks him to give her some "[[IntercourseWithYou afternoon delight]]", but Oscar thinks he's talking about a particular strain of marijuana called "Afternoon Deelite".
14-->'''Oscar''': Well, sure. The question is, which way do I try to get it in her?\
15'''Michael''': I don’t need any details.\
16'''Oscar''': [[AccidentalInnuendo Maybe I'll put it in her brownie]].\
17'''Michael''': ''Hey!''
18* StealthInsult: When Lindsay says she's afraid bringing Maeby to the company party would "make me look like I'm a mother", Maeby says "I've never thought of you that way". Lindsay is oblivious to the insult.
19* StrippingSnag: A downplayed version. GOB rides up in a cab wearing a banana costume and on exit gets part of his outfit stuck in the cab door. With the help of Michael he is able to free himself before any clothing damage could ensue.
20* TitledAfterTheSong: A song that Michael and Maeby wind up singing as part of karaoke. And no. They did not know [[IntercourseWithYou what the song was about beforehand]].
