REGULAR: Lucille
SPECIAL GUEST: Kitty Sanchez

Gob Gob Gob

it's gotta be lindsey, with apologies to george michael

god they're all so amazing.

seriously i have no idea which way to swing on this one.

it's gotta be lindsey, with apologies to george michael

Her?

Easy: Gob.

He's gonna own this poll

Lucille is my hero.

tempted to vote for george sr. or maebe.

GOB is the Arcade Fire of this poll. Except I like GOB.

wait wait wait - ETHAN WHEN DID YOU START LIKING THIS SHOW WTF

it's down to george sr vs michael vs george michael for me, will probably vote michael.

ethan did you start watching this show cuz of hulu?

no one cracks me up more than this guy

oh noes can't pick. want to vote for lucille, but feel bad for buster and maebe and george michael and tobias.

they'll be fine.

Lucille: Apparently mood-altering medication leads to street drugs. That's what this very handsome, young doctor said on the Today Show.

Michael: That was Tom Cruise, the actor.

Lucille: They said he was some kind of scientist...

yeah i have a strong hunch in the final tally gob and tobias will be higher than i'd like and maebe will be lower.

i can't vote on this thread

yes you can, vote for GOB

ok i'm gonna vote michael cuz nobody else is cuz he's such a straight man. but really he's got some of the biggest lols on the show.

Michael: Well, I’ll tell you what: I’m going to give you a promotion. Welcome aboard, Mr. Manager.

George Michael: Wow. I’m Mr. Manager.

Michael: Well, manager; we just say “manager.” And you can hire an employee if you need one.

George Michael: Do you think I need one?

Michael: Don’t look at me, Mr. Manager.

George Michael: Right, it’s up to me now. I’m Mr. Manager.

Michael: Manager. We-we just say, uh...

George Michael: I know, but you...

Michael: Doesn’t matter who.

tough. barry zuckercorn, or maybe tobias, or George Sr.

“with club sauce”

buster getting no love?
sad.
she has a name mother. and it's mother!

they're all great.

it took me a while to remember who oscar is.

heyyyyyyy brother...

Kind of agree with slocki. I mean, this exchange wouldn't be nearly as funny without Michael's deadpan reaction:

Tobias: Well, yes, but I’m afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will, so now I’m afraid I have something of a mess on my hands.

Michael: There are just so many poorly chosen words in that sentence.

"her?"

(^^only line i still use irl, even though no one has ever laughed)

wait wait wait - ETHAN WHEN DID YOU START LIKING THIS SHOW WTF

Buster: And her nausea's gotten really bad, too. It's really been difficult on us. It's definitely taking its toll.

Michael: Well, you know, you're free to go, pal. It's not like you made a commitment to this woman.

Buster: Well, I didn't make a commitment... I did refer to it as our nausea. But you know, that's when we were going at it really hot and heavy.

Michael: Well, now it's my nausea.

im voting michael too cause without him the show is just like 7 too-quirky characters trying to outdo each other

of course the all-time classic, "you forgot to say AWAY." xp

that's actually the excelsior thread.

lucille is actually way more awesome than GOB.

just sayin'

^^this.

I love everybody on this show, but Lucille is my favorite.

and i think lucille is an excellent balance of laughs without the trying to outdo others quirk factor.

George Michael, though I have a potentially illegal crush on Maeby.

^so otm re maeby

i have to watch all of this from the v beginning. i've only seen about 10 episodes total.

also write-in vote for the literal doctor.

if it was a vote for actors, i would def vote for michael cera because he delivers so much with less material than the others

lucille is great but the character feels too stock for me to vote for her

tambor is the best actor on the show but gob has given me so many laffs

had mad crush on kitty until she went on the lam with george sr

martin mull's character... what was he called? gene? made me DIE every time he appeared...

ohohoh and when Lucile is trying to get award winning actors to make her a gin and tonic at the Desis.

Finally found the pic of what I was on about.

"no ring?"

Leading to my favorite AD joke of all time:

Gob: Am I still in prison?
Lucille: You're in the hospital.
Gob (weakly): Ta-da!

yes!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

SO WE SHALL FINALLY KNOW!

i still don't know who to vote for

i have made a very strong case for michael

you have! i feel a little guilty for not having voted for him.

So do I.

but if you read ilx, Jason Bateman, i will totally marry you to make up for it.

MARRY ME

COME ON!

Everyone who voted for Oscar - surprise! - it was really George Sr in a wig.

j/k I don't think anyone voted for Oscar

I was going to share my pop secret!

Can pop-pop get a Grisham?

http://www.fakebands.com/graphics/Franklin_Comes_Alive.jpg

the fact that you call it pop-pop tells me youre not ready

I think that might be my favorite line.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

COME ON

george sr 3

i voted gob so im part of the problem but wtf

wow total destruction

george michael 18

is this all horny ilx cougs or what

feel a bit bad for lindsay in this.

gobs appeal is so overpowering & universal that the secondary votes cant really be taken seriuosly

also i luv gm fuuuuu

I wonder who the other person that voted for Carl Weathers was?

I'm surprised George Michael got so many votes!? Is it because of Superbad?

it is because he is great

Michael and George Michael probably appeal to same people: VOTE SPLITTING. Though sadly they still wouldn't have won even as a singular entity.

Poll of Destiny.

ARCADE FIRE PEOPLE

lamers

ugh, moms are such a pain in the ass... its like, die already!

tobias 6

"There are dozens of us - dozens!"
Well, okay, half a dozen.

this poll needed the surrogate

I just watched all these for the first time and they are by far the best thing that has happened to me this year.

I want the Final Countdown ringtone.

aw i wish i could watch them for the first time!

it's PURIFYING GOOD

They cheer me up all day, every day.

I voted Zuckercorn for so many reasons, but probably shoulda voted Michael since he spends the first season as "the nice, normal one", but, really, pulls off as much sleazy selfishness as everyone else. He's just self-aware enough to feel shame when he's caught.

Abbott OTM - i realised i'd only seen about 3 episodes from the first series after buying the DVDs

I like when George Michael tells Michael about how she eats a hardboiled egg with a drop of mayo on it and later he calls her Egg.

just watched that one. they keep playing the peanuts xmas music and george michael walks by a dog sleeping on top of a red doghouse

"i'm not interested in you... in that way"

"what way?"

"pick one."
