Ann being left behind in Mexico cracks me up every time.
And I'm not sure how I missed Henry Winkler doing the Fonzie move in the bathroom mirror the first two times I watched AD. Classic.

Him jumping the shark was also a "Hey!" moment.

In the most literal sense, given that his actions as Fonzie led to the expression being coined.
I thought that scene in AD was brilliant, taking the piss out of themselves.

In fact, there is also a scene in Happy Days where his character jumps over a shark. This is actually where the phrase originated.

I think it's really unfortunate that in the year 2012, we still have people who find it necessary to explain the definition of "jumping the shark" on internet forums.

yup, still standing by the fact that the chicken dance is one of the least funny aspects of AD

It worked well as a bit when they were in Mexico, imo.

I think the chicken dance is both a hilarious piece of physical comedy and a brilliant insight into how sheletered and removed from reality the Bluths actually are

Am so excited for April 2013. I've started re-watching older seasons to brush up.

The cast voted it one of the favourite eps, from the experience of working with him. Many fans disliked it though, didn't like his character and felt they gave him too much airtime and back story for a one-ep character.

I wasn't a fan myself, but that ep does have some classic Tobias lines from when he was sampling the day spa package.

Yeah that's one of the most uneven episodes for sure. Some fantastic stuff ("I thought you had vertigo" / "Was your mother here?"), and while I think Martin Short isn't super horrible, some of his stuff just isn't A+ like everything else.
