Carl and Tobias meet to discuss Tobias’ upcoming role in Scandalmakers in a Burger King, they then have this conversation:<\/p>\n

Carl Weathers<\/b>: Thanks for meeting me down here at Burger King. I’m trying to get them to underwrite a new TV project I’m working on. Get some money in exchange for setting a scene here at Burger King.<\/p>\n

Tobias<\/b>: Well, as long as you don’t draw attention to it. <\/p>\n

The producers of the show actually received money for this product placement from Burger King, although the show undermined the restaurant chain by partially concealing the G in Angus Burger every time a poster for it was in shot.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

In season one, Gob marries a seal trainer (acted by Amy Poehler). <\/p>\n

Buster skips out on Army to play a claw<\/b> game where he wins a stuffed seal. <\/p>\n

In the episode Buster loses his hand, George Bluth says about him, “What if I never get a chance to reach out and touch that hand of his again?” <\/p>\n

Buster refers to his hand-shaped chair which had been given to Lupe and says, “I never thought I’d miss a hand<\/b> so much.”<\/p>\n

Later, as Gob releases the infamous seal into the sea, he says “You’re not going to be hand-fed<\/b> anymore.”<\/p>\n

Shortly before his hand is bitten off, a pedestrian warns Buster of a “loose seal” – creating a parallel between the seal that bites off his hand, and Lucille, his overbearing mother.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

In the episode Buster loses his hand, George Bluth says about him, “What if I never get a chance to reach out and touch that hand of his again?”<\/p>\n

Even the seal has a backstory: Gob married a seal trainer, when she leaves for army, he begins to use a seal in one of his acts. However, the seal gets a taste for mammal blood when a cat is trapped in one of the boxes with it. Afraid, Gob then releases the seal into the sea, saying: “You’re not going to be hand-fed<\/b> anymore.””<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

This foreshadows the revelation at the end of season 3 when Annyong reveals his real name is “Hel-loh” and that he has been trying to bring down the Bluth company after they stole the idea for the banana stand from his grandfather. <\/p>\n

“Hel-loh” also translates to “One Day” so the words on the banana stand can be read as saying, “I’ll get you Bluth – One day.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

Arrested Development was constantly under threat of being cancelled and numerous references are made to this throughout the show. <\/p>\n

In the premiere for season 2, Michael mentions that the Bluth’s model home contract had been reduced from 22 to 18 homes – a direct reference to how the season’s length had been reduced similarly. <\/p>\n

The most obvious come during the episode S.O.B.s, s3e09: Michael says “The HBO’s (Home Builder’s Organisation) not going to want us” referencing that the network HBO doesn’t pick up shows that have been cancelled by another network. <\/p>\n

George Bluth then quips, “Well I think it’s Showtime” – a reference to another network that was rumoured to be willing to take Arrested Development on.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
