âThere's always money in the banana stand.â
âYou're gonna get some hop-ons.â
âI've made a huge mistake.â
Self-referential one-liners like these three uttered by various âArrested Developmentâ characters are some of the show's most powerful currency. Since its debut in 2003 on Fox, fans of the cult comedy have been repeating these and others like secret passwords required for admission to a select club. When a person is quick with a âbanana standâ joke, it can be presumed they're a fellow traveler. It also probably doesn't hurt if the phrase is mounted in their hallway on a needlepoint.
The return of âArrested Developmentâ early this morning on Netflix is likely to provide new one-liners for the show's army of aficionados to repeat to one another, transform into Internet memes and print on T-shirts. The New York Times wants to know: Which jokes on the new season of âArrested Developmentâ will become one-liners that you can't resist using in quips at friends or writing apropos of nothing on Twitter and Facebook?
