I just watched that for about 3 minutes straight.

[–]elesdee 61 points62 points ago

Makes me all warm and fuzzy. =D

[–]ilovenotohio 268 points269 points ago

Warm and Fonzy

FTFY

[–]elesdee 42 points43 points ago

Well played, Sir.

Such a polarizing comment, was it the use of the GIF?

[–]Qurse 20 points21 points ago

Well ayyyeeee'd, Sir. FTFY

[–]Ttiger 9 points10 points ago

The downvotes are because you could have just upvoted. Reddit usually doesn't like "this" comments. The up-votes are likely from the gif. (My guess)

[–]Liadric 41 points42 points ago

This.

[–]squirrelballs 0 points1 point ago

But wtf (who the fuck) downvotes this (the parent of this) comment?

[–]king_pickles 2 points3 points ago

[–]theylivewesleep 1 point2 points ago

Young Fonzie moves left side of body back more, almost sexy dance-like

[–]giever 31 points32 points ago

It's amazing how perfectly in sync he is. Even slight hand movements are there in both.

[–]LeonProfessional 14 points15 points ago

Muscle memory, practice, whatever it was, yeah he nailed it in that AD episode.

[–]random19 1 point2 points ago

I would imagine it's something he did regularly, even when not on show.

So it's not like after 40 years he got a chance to do it again that one time

[–]VirogenicFawn21 45 points46 points ago

Eyyyyy!

[–]Red_AtNight 12 points13 points ago

The many references to Happy Days on that show make me so happy, like Bob Loblaw saying that he can do whatever Barry Zuckercorn can do except he can skew to a younger audience (Scott Baio being Chachi on Happy Days)

[–]CanadianMutton 6 points7 points ago

My favourite was when Barry Zuckercorn jumped the shark. A clear reference to when the Fonz jumped the shark But so subtle, I didn't catch it the first two times I watched the series.

[–]stillnotking 2 points3 points ago

"This isn't the first time I've been brought in to replace Barry Zuckerkorn."

[–]Fishinabowl11 24 points25 points ago

This gif just makes me sad. The inexorable march of time...

[–]climbermat 23 points24 points ago

What show is the scene where he's older from?

[–]Samuelgin 73 points74 points ago

arrested development most likely

[–]Mighty_Cthulhu 52 points53 points ago

It is indeed Arrested Development, just saw this episode the other day.

[–]Rqller 27 points28 points ago

Arrested Development is the best show ever, and the 4th season is coming out soon!

[–]Mighty_Cthulhu 6 points7 points ago

I've heard! I'm partway through season 2 right now, looking forward to season 4 already.

[–]imnotahick 11 points12 points ago

I have watched the seasons around 10 times (I have no other real good dvds) the jokes you will eventually pick up on is incredible. They have a wiki for the show too, the writing is unbelievable in how well the script is

[–]I_TYPE_IN_ALL_CAPS 37 points38 points ago

the writing is unbelievable in how well the script is

NOT SURE YOU HAVE ANY CREDIBILITY.

[–]imnotahick 0 points1 point ago

lol, I definately dont

[–]3_dimensional_defect 0 points1 point ago

I wish I could upvote you more than once.

[–]D4an1el 0 points1 point ago

Im just right now rewatching it for like the 4th time cause its soo awesome

[–]slackeyed 2 points3 points ago

It will be difficult for many people to watch however, as it will be airing only on Netflix.

[–]bodaciousbilly 0 points1 point ago

It releases all at once, so you can easily watch it all during a free trial month

[–]slackeyed 1 point2 points ago

I live rural, so streaming video is not a realistic option for me and millions of other rural households.

[–]bodaciousbilly -1 points0 points ago

Oh. Well then torrent that shit.

[–]slackeyed 1 point2 points ago

For the same reason streaming isn't an option, torrenting does the same thing to my data cap. It chews it up.

[–]bodaciousbilly 0 points1 point ago

Aw that's a bummer man. Data caps? That blows. I thought maybe it was a bandwidth issue.

[–]Stachow 0 points1 point ago

Abandon your home!

[–]_pagan_poetry_ 1 point2 points ago

This is true.

Although, I may resubscribe to Netflix for AD alone, as long as it's on the UK version.

[–]allymumu 1 point2 points ago

I think they said they were going to. I'll still be over here in the UK when they are released, it would be a bummer if I missed it!

[–]Rqller 0 points1 point ago

there are other ways to watch Arrested Development

[–]Thunder_Waffle -4 points-3 points ago

[–]Sorry_I_Judge 2 points3 points ago

I thought it was going be from Scream. Completely forgot about him in AD.

[–]mkcomply 0 points1 point ago

Which episode is it?

[–]omgimonfire 5 points6 points ago

I expect that the horde will probably downvote you for not knowing it is from Arrested Development, but I want you to know that I envy you for not having watched it yet.

Stop whatever you are doing and go watch it. Forthwith.

[–]BitsAndBytes 1 point2 points ago

I know most of Reddit loves these shows, but for some reason things like Arrested Development and Community are not my style of humor at all. Something about it makes it difficult to watch, whereas I enjoy watching Monty Python or Airplane.

I'm not hating on those obviously great shows, just wondering of anyone else shares my experiences.

[–]MaxGene 0 points1 point ago

Nope. You are literally the only person who doesn't feel this way and is on Reddit.

Just kidding! I haven't even seen them yet.

[–]gregdolan95 11 points12 points ago

I met Henry Winkler at the 50's restaurant where i work. Talked to him for a little bit and I gotta say, he's a real cool dude.

[–]motoguy 81 points82 points ago

Arrested Development FTMFW

That show was so far ahead of it's time.

[–]Bladelink 115 points116 points ago

My brain tried to synthesize that acronym and came up with "fuck that motherfucker wednesday"

[–]HarlequinNight 11 points12 points ago

Another reason why the Google dictionary extension for Chrome is awesome. Action Shot!

[–]tworedditorsabroad 3 points4 points ago

That is fucking neat-o.

[–]ElmoTheNefarious 3 points4 points ago

Trying to understand how you had a picture of your post in your post. My brain hurts.

[–]HarlequinNight 1 point2 points ago

I'm glad someone noticed my attention to detail.

Fucking uncles caught killing the hypocrites at times for usurping child killers in Nigeria. Go yourself and holler out obscenities.

[–]Rradum 16 points17 points ago

Falling under cancerous killing insects, now getting unannounced calls lacking every sense. Causing an uncertain government halt today, kids in little Libya ignited nine grain trucks. Half ending harshly.Young people overly cause riots in times ending soon. Also, the two infants maybe entertained some adorable trees. Today, inside Michigan, estimated seventeen fornicators of Romania, undermined several undeserving reciprocators. Pills in Newt Gingrich's cheek hid inside like dogs killing interns. Loving ladies everywhere, raided stores in nine Non-Italian groups. Each raider infested all groups often. You order unruly's "Roll some easter loaves." Four accepted new demands, half of loaves left each raider offensively. Under these objectives, babies should call everyone now in time if everything settles. TL;DR Words. EDIT: Accidentally a word.

[–]KrazieV 0 points1 point ago

Where's the "N" word after insects and before getting?

Heh. N word.

[–]Rradum 0 points1 point ago

Fixed.

[–]Herumallos -2 points-1 points ago

So who is going to take this to the next level?

[–]amazing_rando 13 points14 points ago

First, use care killing iguanas. No good, unless no clawless lizards exist. Second, catch all unattended geckos hastily. Try knives, in long, loose incisions. Newborn geckos taste heavenly. Elderly have yummy properties, once carefully rinsed in tequila. Eat slowly and take them in moderation. Each, served fried over rice, usually sours unless rinsed properly. Iguanas never get chewy. However, in large doses, kidneys in like lizards emit rancorous smells. It's not normally, in general, eaten raw. In America, geckos of young or unusually rowdy stock escape lizard farms at night. Don't harvest outdoor lizards. Lizards eaten raw or undercooked, trapped outside, bear some curious, eventually noxious, illnesses. Try iguanas! Eat sparingly.

[–]thearmadillo 6 points7 points ago

I dunno. I think Arrested Development is just one of those shows that's better when you watch an entire season on netflix than when you get one 22 minute episode a week. So much of the humor flew under the radar because its really easy to forget random lines or inside jokes when you aren't reminded of them constantly.

Guess we'll see when the mini-series comes out if it can keep its charm as a once a week show.

[–]KennyFuckingPowers 1 point2 points ago

Pretty sure it's all going to come out at once on Netflix, Hurwitz said.

[–]obvnotlupus 7 points8 points ago

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]obvnotlupus 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, because he/she actually did mean to say "That show was so far ahead of it is time", right? This is not even my fucking native language!

[–]kodutta7 1 point2 points ago

I think he was "no"-ing the fact that you're correcting people on the internet, rather than your correctness.

[–]Smaskifa -1 points0 points ago

"Its" is never possessive, just like his, hers, yours, ours, etc., are never possessive. "It's" is always a contraction of "it is".

[–]NightmareTaco 3 points4 points ago

Never = always?

[–]Smaskifa 0 points1 point ago

You're right. I worded that poorly. What I meant is that those words never get the possessive apostrophe on them, while they are in fact still possessive.

[–]Their_Police 2 points3 points ago

Um... Can't tell if I'm stupid or you missed an apostrophe.

[–]SatchmoPhipps 1 point2 points ago

Their post was correct, but you probably shouldn't have set such high stakes for your failure, because now I have to call you stupid.

"I know I promised I'd be there on time or or else drink toilet water, but traffic was crazy."

"I understand, there was a pileup on the freeway. That being said, here's your funnel and bib."

[–]Their_Police 0 points1 point ago

"Its" is always possessive, which is why I thought they missed an apostrophe.

[–]Rjoecarlisle 2 points3 points ago

I'm watching it right now, actually.

[–]Cog2694 3 points4 points ago

As am I, brother.

[–]OGrilla 0 points1 point ago

Until I read the comments, I thought his back and neck had stiffened up too much to actually make the effort to emulate the original scene correctly.

[–]BumScruples -1 points0 points ago

Can you explain to me how it's ahead of its time? Isn't it still going on?

[–]motoguy 0 points1 point ago

The last most recent episode aired in 2006.

[–]SirBruceMega -1 points0 points ago

You could even say it was "streets ahead".

[–]R3ckl3ss 6 points7 points ago

I love you for sharing this. I wish I could make this a tattoo.

[–]thinkt4nk 12 points13 points ago

[–]Endyo 5 points6 points ago

It's always fun to come in to any post on Reddit and see these... like everything that has ever existed has been seen by everyone. I mean really... six times over the past year and this is necessary? On a site where the front page changes completely in a matter of hours?

Let's all just give it a rest and let the voting system make the decision as what is actually worth seeing, repost or not.

[–]slackeyed 2 points3 points ago

You interpreted my post as a complaint?

[–]Herbamins 0 points1 point ago

You knew what you were doing. I have no opinion either way but you were silently screaming "repost!"

[–]Endyo -1 points0 points ago

No, just a pointless effort that doesn't add anything to the subject matter.

[–]slackeyed -3 points-2 points ago

That's your opinion. In my opinion it adds perspective.

[–]KennyFuckingPowers 0 points1 point ago

Not attacking you here, just wondering - how does it add perspective?

[–]cptdog 0 points1 point ago

If there's something someone is wondering over or just think that the comment thread on this current post sucks, then people can just go to the original comment thread and get more perspectives.

People who have said something interesting in the first comment threads most likely will ignore this comment thread and if that particular comment did not garner any ridiculous amount of karma, then we won't find it in this post.

tl;dr; I think these posts are good because reddits search-function sucks.

[–]2_cents 2 points3 points ago

Whoa, how do I miss these reposts? I've been subscribed to all of these and I'm on Reddit programming diligently all day at work.

On a side note: Brace yourselves, imgur has finally removed the links to the related reddit post.

I'm sorry, but I don't get it. What am I looking at?

I feel like I've been living in space for the past 20 years to be the only person who doesn't really get what's going on...

[–]LaszloK 0 points1 point ago

I love that the timing is perfect, probably because he's done it so many times in his life.

[–]plumhead27 0 points1 point ago

I also loved it when he even jumped the shark.

Notice the lack of leather jacket. Fonzie didn't wear one in earlier episodes because produces deemed it too "edgy."

I love Happy Days and I love Arrested Development, but I feel like this gif would be more poignant if it was of older Henry Winkler seeing his younger self in the mirror.

It'd be all introspective n' shit.

[–]brussels4breakfast 0 points1 point ago

I see him on a commercial and it makes me sad. The commercial is him talking to other seniors about life insurance. : (

I like how Richie Cunningham and the Fonz are both "characters" on the show. (Can you call the narrator a character?)

Also Chachi (Scott Baio was Bob Loblaw)

[–]Jaboomaphoo 0 points1 point ago

The Fonz never left

[–]tossingittoyou -1 points0 points ago

Every time he put his hands down I heard, "Ayyyyyyyyyy" in my head. Then I had to keep watching to see if it would happen every time. It did.

[–]fastbeemer 0 points1 point ago

Interesting side note, he was supposed to comb his hair in that scene, but he didn't like the idea of them making him do it, so he improvised the stopping short so he wouldn't have to comb it. Source: Henry Winkler on the Mohr Stories podcast. Also, the 10 feet he road the motorcycle in the opening credits is the extent of the motorcycle riding he has ever done in his lifetime.

He has the comb in opposite hands. I think it's a Winklerdroid in AD.

The one on the left is him in a mirror, which is why it's so awesome that it syncs so well.

[–]IWontRespondToYou -2 points-1 points ago

I want to believe that his timing was perfect, I really do, but I think the one on the left was doctored to match the timing.

EDIT: Actually I am pretty sure they were both modified.
