There's a lesson to be learned here.  Fox brings this back after no one requested it and without any outpouring of grief by fans (?) of the show.  Only now do we understand Fox's strategy - if we had all stayed quiet about Arrested Development and just said "Oh, yeah, that show… it's okay I guess" it could have been…

In addition to what has already been said about "easy laughs," I remember reading about Steve Carrell and how he would avoid "easy laughs." I think his big thing is if the buildup is leading toward a right turn, turn left. I think some people appreciate Larry the Cable Guy and Dane Cook because they like being able…

Here comes a "cool story, bro" moment:

THIS is why we can't tax the rich! We will stifle their creativity!

The Brown Baron?

Are there not ghost planets? Then what's the point of it all?

"A few guys will try it, but they'll make it three minutes in before they get up off the couch and start yelling at things."

And if it is as good as you remember, that's because you're viewing it with nostalgic blinders on. And while there's nothing wrong with enjoying an AV Club feature for…

OH MY GOD! When you add the month, day, and year of my birthday together you get NO ONE GIVES A RATS ASS BECAUSE THAT'S NOT HOW NUMBERS WORK.

Running
Given how much he's mocked for his run, don't you think they'd shy away from showing so much Tom-Cruise-Awkward-No-Human-Runs-Like-That in the trailer?

"Bitchin' dance scene during the credits, though."

You can't leave. She won't let you.
The cats eyes look like the eyes of Sam Neill's dead wife in Event Horizon.

That's a lot of listening, Mr. Monster. What does the Mrs. say?

Also - in states I'm aware of - traveling faster than the speed limit is prima facie evidence of reckless driving. So, by law, a person's care about harm to self/others and speeding ARE interrelated.

But you don't KNOW there aren't people around for sure/danger won't happen. Unlike a track situation, where you can be sure there isn't going to be anything on the road. It isn't a controlled environment.
