Now the story of a wealthy family…

Woot Shirt, Trouble At the Banana Stand

Andrew Ridgeley Bluth had volunteered for extra shifts at the family banana stand under the pretense of picking up some extra money. In truth, he was hoping to avoid his cousin, Possibly, and his feelings for her. Unbeknownst to him, Gob had procured the services of seven chimpanzees trained in the art of Ninjitsu for his magic act.

“Gah!”

What he didn’t know was that Possibly had taken a taxi down to the banana stand specifically to discuss her feelings for him.

“Possibly!”

“Oh my god, Andrew Ridgeley! Are you okay?”

“Yeah! Well, no, uh, I mean, probably, but, well, could you call the police? Or something?”

Just then Jebediah, who happened to be sunning himself in a ridiculous pink thong in the hopes of avoiding tan lines for an upcoming audition, stumbled unwittingly into the crowd of nunchaku-wielding simians.

“Aaagh! Andrew Ridgeley, get over here and spank my monkey!”

“Uh…what?”

“Oh, I apologize. I shouldn’t have said that; how inappropriate! I meant to say, ‘get over here and spank my ape.’ Jebediah you’re a doctor, you should know the difference between these things!”

“That’s not really what I was asking abou-”

“Andrew Ridgeley, I have hold of this flailing monkey and the only way it will ever learn not to attack people is if you deliver a little corporal punishment. Now come spank this monkey!”

Wear this shirt: To your Pop-Pop’s arraignment.

Don’t wear this shirt: To your meeting with Kitty Sanchez. You’ll be overdressed.

This shirt tells the world: “I’m holding out for the movie!”

We call this color: Prematurely-Cancelled Cranberry

Totally a random shirt that I had no idea what it was from at first, but then I learned. I hadn’t watched Arrested Development when I got it, and I didn’t even watch the show because of this shirt, it was the other A Rooster Development shirt that got me to watch the show so I would understand it a bit better. This was a total win though.

Plus, I know someone who owns a banana suit like that.

Woot Shirt, A Rooster Development

6th Place in Derby #300: What makes me different, with 228 votes!

Everyone always talks about how much they like Arrested Development, but I don’t know how people can get past the repeated continuity error that occurs throughout the show. I am, of course, talking about the chicken dance.

The characters are dancing like chickens, they’re calling each other chickens, they’re even making noises like chickens, but they aren’t chickens! They’re human! What gives?

How am I supposed to follow this tale of a dysfunctional family? How am I supposed to get invested in their relationships? How am I supposed to care if they get burned by a Cornballer when there’s always this glaring error in the background?

Now, if only the characters were to be actual chickens (or roosters), that would be a lot more logical. They would be doing a chicken dance because they’re chickens. Finally, it would be a show that would make some sense. THAT would be something I could get behind.

So, this was the shirt that got me to watch Arrested Development. I liked the look of the shirt, but I couldn’t bring myself to wear it if I didn’t know or understand the background of the shirt. It’s a win from my point of view.
