⚠ Oops Alert! Yes, we know it’s pronounced “Jobe,” not “Gob”! Our narrator slipped into full Bluth family chaos for a moment. Thanks for keeping us on our toes.

Oh, my Bowie. Mae Whitman….I looked several times and thought, "Wow, they got Linda Blair to play a teenager while in her 40s-50s". I mean, she only stands 4'11", so the height isn't a stretch (no pun intended), but the age thing surely would have gone noticed, but it would have made the absurdity of the series fit right in.

You forgot the Bob Lablaw (Scott Baio) replacement of Henry Winkler.

You guys make good videos, but blowing Gob's name is a huge boo-boo. But I'll keep watching.
After all, you got Isla Fisher's name right.

How do you pronounce Job's name wrong seconds after you play a clip of him saying his name?!?

Seems clear the narrator was rather clueless about several facts. Unfortunate.

All that talk about the banana stand and 'There's always money in the banana stand" and you never mentioned that there was literally money IN the banana stand- thousands of actual dollars- and since they did not understand that's what was meant by "….. money in the banana stand", they burned it down, cash and all.

It's "Gob," not, "Gob."

The scene where H Winkler was in the bathroom was cut off just before he looked in the mirror with his comb in his hand like the Fonzie aaaaaayyy. Thumbs up anyway.

Every time GOB is mispronounced <hick>, I take <hick> a shot <hick> .

In response to the elevator question, I'd pick Tobias. He's just so unhinged and off the wall I think it'd be hilarious.

Jason Bateman dies comedy and drama so well .

I actually hate it that I let this video play after hearing all of the mispronounced names. I did hit the settings to make sure YouTube never recommends this channel to me again

This is infuriating. You're pronouncing multiple characters' names wrong. Why even bother with this garbage? Unsubscribing.

I remember the day I finally gave this show a chance… my then girlfriend had the dvd. I thought I was going to remind myself why I never watched it in the first place and boy was I wrong. It was excellent programming.
@GregPiperWriter
May 5, 2026 at 9:35 pm
Is this AI? Not only do you constantly say "Gob" wrong but you repeat the same phrases over and over again, like "performance art." Reporting you as a scam.

I admit I did not know about the drama at Fox and the integration of budget jokes into the show.

The way you pronounce " Gob " is a sure tip-off that you never really watched an episode. You usually make great videos.
@cheezfri
May 5, 2026 at 9:35 pm
You've clearly never seen the show, judging by your pronunciations of GOB and Funke. And in fact, the incorrect pronunciation of the former was used as a joke in the show.

Saying gob 2 seconds after the show pronounced the way it's said ended this
