A subreddit for fans and critics of the 2003 show Arrested Development. Discussion, pictures and anything else Arrested Development related.
This is from S3 Ep. 11 where George Michael is joking around with his and Maeby’s marriage. What is bleeped? I’m thinking it’s DVD or movie or something, but I don’t think I understand the joke, why it’s bleeped out?

I’d assume it’s something to do with how the French think…
I like the way they think
The OC
Please don’t call it that.
I always thought it was the OC also. Doesn’t Ron say something like ‘the popular teen show’ or something like that?
Probably Sugarfoot.
Yeah Sugarfoot!
Sing the theme song with me
Just thinking about that scene is cracking me up
Wanting an awkward situation to end so badly that you do a karate chop is probably one of the most hilarious things on the planet
I just found out this was a real show
Ok so we can figure this out if the subtitles are correct: does he actually use the article "an" and not "a"? Because if so that might narrow it down
It’s AN; and they bleeped out the letter N.
Her?
Egg?
Bland?
Her?
Her?
Imagine what Franklin would say about her...
It's as Ann as the nose on plain's face.
A+ for knowing your parts of speech!
Sure, you know your parts of speech but I bet you can’t list the seven Houses of Parliament.
Sure you know the Seven Houses of Parliament but I bet you can't see why kids love the great taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Sure, you can see why kids love the great taste of cinnamon toast crunch, but can you play the banjo?
Wait, is this my brother, Jeff? Ruffy, is that you!?

I see you have commented with AN alligator…
A... minus
If it is “A” maybe he’s saying “pop in a star war”
You may have the OC disorder
He's such a p****
It’s a shame we had to bleep that. It would have been such a nice moment.
Just recently watched this, and he's definitely saying a movie name. I have no idea why it's bleeped out, but I'll come back to this post and check netflix when I get home
Edit: Squishedgoomba is defo right. it's Veronica Mars. I'm not sure if they changed it, but it's also bleeped out on the Canadian Netflix version. But you can quite clearly hear him start the sentence with a "V" and it's not hard to read his lips.
I was pretty sure when this first aired, there was a little message that popped up in the AD font that said something like "reference to an off network show"

Veronica Mars. It's bleeped because it was on a different channel at the time so Fox made them bleep it, or at least AD was pretending they did for a joke.
Edit: it may be different on streaming, but this was from the DVD release.
It isn't different streaming on Netflix (at least not in USA) but it does get rid of it if you have subtitles on.
At least watching Netflix with subtitles left it in for you. Watching Netflix without subtitles just let me blindly enjoy my Arrested Development. I didn’t even know there was a caption it wasn’t showing me.
Bingo, even when it's bleeped out, you can quite clearly see his lips say Veronica Mars.
I’m sure you’re right because that’s way too specific to have imagined!
Veronica Mars.
This is the correct, non-joke answer.
It’s bleeped out because it was in another network (and referenced because both Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat both guest-starred in episodes)
Also grammatically “An Veronica Mars” doesn’t make sense.
I think it was "an episode of Veronica mars"
That would make sense.
Yeah Netflix used to have a note saying it was a show they don't have the rights to and that's why it's bleeped out
It’s bleeped out on my DVD version, which is pre-Netflix, so I think it’s an intentional joke.
It's not a joke. Fox forbade it.
Yeah, at the time this was well-understood to the show. The Cera/Shawkat VM episode aired within a month or two of this if memory recalls).
Les Cousins Dangerous
Dangereux *
That's the French original.
I like the way they think
I like its complex eroticism.
Boy Fights vol. III
Yo quiero leche!
Off network show.
Probably “The OC”
Narrator: Don’t call it that
“Erotica”
F***ing diamonds!
A banger in the mouth
Caged Wisdom
Can I interest you in a smoothie or amyl nitrite?
Cera is my gold standard. And I’ve loved her since her first ever line in AD.
The writing is absurdly great.
What a f***ing amazing show this is.
Egg
It fits!
Les cousins dangereux…
Roswell
EGG
Aderal
Movie
Anal
Buy the uncut dvd and find out
I think he says disc, and it was bleeped because it closely resembles "dick"
I hope that's not the type of joke Andy McMahon will be doing!
