January 12, 2016 - 1 min read

In a family full of criminals and never-nudes, Michael Bluth is the only member of the clan remotely capable of holding it together. In honor of Jason Bateman's birthday, here are all the times Michael Bluth was the funniest thing about "Arrested Development."

He Gives the Best Driving Advice

“You’re gonna get some hop-ons.”

Michael Bluth, "Analrapist" Wrangler

Tobias also needs to take Michael's advice about getting that tape recorder seriously. 

He's Not a Hugger

Michael would have preferred money to see a "Star War." 

This One Is Self-Explanatory

Respect. 

Wrath of the Cornballer

Every. Damn. Time. 

A Man of Few Words

Especially when it comes to his sister and her husband's (gag) love life. 

Truer Words, Michael...

...Truer words.
