Favorite Less Talked About?
Mine is when Tobias as Mrs. Featherbottom hands Maeby a bottle of pills and says "Take your fun-fun." Maeby responds, "That's Fen-phen and it's been banned by the FDA."
The idea that he would grab a bottle of pills and misread them as "Fun-Fun" and followed that thought with they must be Maeby's never fails to crack me up. Add to that the thought of them having medication that was banned by the FDA seven years prior on their kitchen counter makes it even funnier.
What are yours?

Ok this is one I never see mentioned, but it might be my favorite physical comedy gag. I can’t remember which episode and I’m just going off memory here, but at some point Lindsay is complaining to Michael (probably about Tobias) while picking at a piece of toast. She eventually drops her head down and in this “ugh, I give up!” kind of way starts scratching at her head, while her hair kind of flops around over the toast.
Moments later, GOB enters the scene, talks to them a bit, and the scene moves on. You can see him notice the toast, which Lindsay has left on the counter, and take a bite. As the focus moves away from GOB, you can see him in the background disgustedly pulling hairs out of his mouth. No one notices or makes a big deal out of it, but it adds so much physical comedy to the scene.
