6 Tobias Funke Quotes From 'Arrested Development' That True Fans Will Understand
Spoiler TV

Goodbye to late summer nights, and hello 7 a.m. classes. As college students say goodbye to binge watching Netflix to cramming in late night studying it’s safe to say most humorous things are being sucked away from our fingertips. False. If there is anything that a first week college student needs, it’s funny things on the internet. And just so happens I have found that “funny thing.”

Say hello to "Arrested Development’s" character Tobias Funke, a wannabe actor with the world’s worst kind of phrasing. If you need a good laugh, and a pick me up after this first week back to school scroll down and get ready to wonder why you even clicked on this in the first place. If you think your first week was rough, get ready to be surprised.

Behold Tobias Funke quotes

1. My schedule however, is as open as my relationship with my wife. So why don't we pair up? And hit the town together! I'll be your wingman. Even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up

Talk about saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. At least you didn’t put all these words in the same sentence while trying to get your point across. Better yet, you didn’t record yourself saying that sentence and continually repeat it throughout the day.


2. Come on. Let's see some bananas and nuts. Oh, perhaps we should just pull their pants off.

In context of this sentence, Tobias was giving a film review. Pretty bad right? Better yet he was describing this to his daughter.

3. Michael if I may take off my pants and pull my analrapist stocking over my head, I think George Michael may be suffering from what we in the soft-sciences call "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder", or the "The O.C. Disorder

A personal favorite quote by Tobias, this is where he mashes two words together in hopes of creating a new word to describe a situation. Let’s just say students shouldn’t try this one without prior approval.

4. I'm afraid I just blue myself

A phrase where you literally put blue paint all over your body. Only recommended if you plan on joining the “Blue Man Group” after your college career.

5. Ooh, I can taste those meaty, leading man parts in my mouth!

Yes, he was just describing “British” food he was trying for the first times

6. You know, first of all, we are doing this for her, because neither one of us wants to get divorced. And second-of-ly, I know you're the big marriage expert - oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, your wife is dead!

Everything about this sentence was wrong, just when you think your week could get worse, at least you didn’t say this to your brother in-law.

If you ever need a good laugh, or just a reason to stray away from some homework for a while, no doubt Googling “Tobias Funke” will get your mind off things. Stay strong students, and remember nothing is a bad as these quotes. (wink)

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
