(The photo’s also dated 1998, which is the year of the Soup Nazi’s last appearance on the Seinfeld finale, but that could just be a coincidence).
says, “I thought that was the guy who played the Soup Nazi… I told him how much I liked his work.” This photo is displayed, in which Saddam’s apron says “You’ll take it the way I make it,” a pretty Soup Nazi-ish phrase. about his meeting with Saddam Hussein and George Sr. During the same scene from “For British Eyes Only,” Michael is confronting George Sr. There’s also an LGBT diet book that Barry Zuckerkorn seemed to have written under the name B.J. In “Let ‘Em Eat Cake,” a whiteboard at the hospital says the head nurse is named “Ratchet,” a reference to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.ġ3. There’s a shot of an -esque page for Tobias’s book The Man Inside Me in “Let ‘Em Eat Cake.” There are several other books and videos listed from other episodes. Also in “Whistler’s Mother,” Tobias is seen reading a book called Acting: Like a Man when Lindsay is dancing for him.ġ2. In “Whistler’s Mother,” the very first episode that features Oscar, Oscar’s first line is “Heeeey nephew” as he enters and begins giving Michael a backrub.ġ1. The Church of the Good Shepherd resurfaces in Season 2 as the church where Anne and George-Michael try to get married.ġ0. Also in that same episode, when George-Michael finds the folder of his old school projects in Michael’s office, there’s an art project of a sheep made of cotton balls on top. (in reference to how Maeby’s frizzy hair hurt her chances in child beauty pageants, from the episode “Notapusy”)Īnd then, there’s the cover of Tobias’s book, The Man Inside Me:ĩ. Michael refers to his employees as sheep in the episode “Staff Infection.” Later on, when he means to send them to lunch, they accidentally board a bus that Lupe reserved for her family, which is labeled “Church of the Good Shepherd.” One of the employees who is always in the back of the group is wearing a black shirt (black sheep). Lindsay (to Maeby): I don’t know where that hair of yours came from. Michael: “Colored?” What color was he exactly? I walk in and there’s a colored man in my kitchen. I was almost attacked last night in my own home. Tobias: Well, obviously, I’m not a big guy. Lindsay: People hear the name Tobias, they think ‘big black guy.’ (in reference to Lindsay flirting with Ice the Bounty Hunter, from the episode “Good Grief”)
Tobias: I am surprised that she’s going after somebody so similar to my own type. It’s these hysterical, crazy ideas that they could have continued on.”įox cutting the second and third seasons short might have had something to do with this plotline being dropped, but there are references to Tobias being a black man sprinkled throughout the show. I remember they were going to do one about Tobias actually being a rare black person, where he would have this rare disease and was actually black. Arrested Development star Alia Shawkiat spilled the beans in an interview, saying: “ gone on little tangents where you think they’re going to start a storyline and they’ll pull it back.

One such plot development that the writers started to foreshadow but never followed through on was about Tobias being revealed to be a black man with a rare skin condition. 1. Tobias is an albino black man. The Arrested Development writers were known for using a lot of foreshadowing (think of all the references to Buster losing his arm to a seal, none of which will be included here because they’re well-documented elsewhere).
