Gary Unmarried

Hidden in the last episode is one of the funniest, random, and best delivered lines you'll ever see. Gary's ex- Allison is a little, oh, drunk, while in the kitchen stumbling around, and says, "I'm hungry. You know what? <snaps fingers> I'mma make a BUNDT cake!" scooting her chair across the floor, flinging open the refrigerator and peering in.

I have rewound that about 12 times and my daughter and I still crack up every time. Brilliant delivery on a line that will be long forgotten unfortunately.

Agree. Subtle,deadpan, humor of which Paula Marshall is a master.

I've been quoting that line for a week now! Priceless!

I like the last episode 11/5 line while their are in the house:

"It's like you're one of those dipping birds!"

and then a little later

"I think your dad is mad."

Priceless comedy.

"I'm hungry. You know what? <snaps fingers> I'mma make a BUNDT cake!"

Followed by

"You know what else is good? Cinnabun!"

Followed by...earlier

"I'm not afraid of you talking to her. I'm afraid of you unhinging your jaw and swallowing her whole."

Great dialog. Figures James Burrows is exec prod.

Ok, I love that you noticed that little line....
It was my first time playing drunk!
Can't wait to do it again!!

The chemistry between Gary and Allison is SO perfect. Jay and Paula put as much heart and bite into all the best scenes -- the tiny house, drunk scene, pool table, the missing sex pixs, cracking Gary's back...list goes on.

And as much as the dialog pitch perfect, the physical comedy is killer too. I busted a gut watching Allison calmly stride to the bedroom door and lock it just as Gary arrives, scrambling for the door nob. Then she ditches him with a quick fake out and then calmly heads out the same door she just locked. Oh so so good.

Nothing beats knowing exactly what someone's going to do before they do it.

An excellent runner up: the headbanging in the tiny house with Gary's well-timed shadenfreuden laugh.
I also love Gary's feet flying up in the air as Allison cracks his back.

More favorites lines:

A: "Yeah well, 15 years of living with you has made me DUMB!"

G: "Look, don't stick your head in the tiny oven, okay?"
A: "I'm serious, Gary, if you know what's good for you, you'll stay out of this house."
G "If I knew what was good for me, I woulda stayed out of your pants. Now open up!"

Allison throws tiny tableware:
G: "Stop it! You're making a tiny mess!"

A: "You made me dumb, Gary!"
G: "What does that even mean??"
A: "All those years of- of living with you with the-the zombie movies and the video games and the zombie movies based on video games."

G: "Here's a toast to you, the penultimate ex-wife."
A: "It sounds like it should be good, right?"
G: "It's got ultimate right in it."
I swear to God I've had this exact exchange with a friend -- barring the ex-wife bit.

I also love the exchange about face-painting being a gateway drug to clown school. So funny and true.

I LOVE this show!! The writing is hilarious. Paula Marshall is the most talented actress on TV right now, and her chemistry with Jay is great-- it is so nice to have her back! We need a fun, smart and attractive show like this--it is actually the only comedy I'm watching right now, so please Producers, please keep it on! Thanks! (Now I'm off to make my shopping list with all the sponsors

)

The little house was also the sight for one of the most touching moments on the show. Allison says " well I don't think I did,but I knew what I was looking for. Do you know what you are looking for Gary?" Gary says "that is a big question for a little house. And then later "I didn't have to do anything-I didn't care what my friends thought" and then they toast.

If the actors are really coming to this site to chat with the proletariat i'm quite impressed. If the webgineers are stopping by, they should know we all feel like putting our heads in the blender with the player and bandwith you use. We cant watch one show without freezes and the last two episodes quota smells of comunism. Let's lose the star and make this streeming a bit less third world. What say you CBS?

I haven't had any trouble watching the show online.

I saw a Gary Unmarried taping and laughed my ass off. If you thought the tiny house was funny, wait until you see Thanksgiving episode. After they played the turkey episode, we watched them shoot an episode about Gary asking out two of Louise's teachers and catching hell for it. OMG, priceless! I can't tell you more cuz it'll just ruin it.

SO MUCH MORE GREAT chemistry between Gary and Allison coming your way!! Jay and Paula are just hilarious! The kids are a riot too. Wait untii you see their In-LAWS!!!

They also announced that the show was up for a PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD!! So vote dammit! Yes we can!

What an awesome show!!

For some reason Billy Joel's Italian Restaurant bubbled up -- 'A bottle of red, a bottle of white...'

Oh fer petesake, it's getting ridiculous how I can't whittle down my list of favorite lines. It's most of the episode. LOL And so many more that I refuse to list for fear of looking like a court reporter or transcriptionist who can't stop working.

My absolute favorite Gary line in the episode.
V: So far our grown-up date is going really beautifully.
G: Yes, yes it is and as promised, not one mention of Allison...except for that one...which I mentioned only to illustrate the point that I'm not gonna say 'Allison'. Okay that's twice. Darn, but I'm done with the Allisons. Three. Darn. Allison. There, Four. I'm sorry when I get nervous I have this thing where I have to end everything with even numbers. It used to make Allison crazy. (hits table) Five. Dammit. Allison. Six. I'm done.

Would Allison like to hear Krandall's opening joke for the conference on shizoprhenia?
A: Oh I would love to. No I wouldn't--yes, I would--no I wouldn't-- Shut up!

K: Don't be surprised if some unexpected feelings bubble to the surface, you know: anger, resentment, sadness.
A: D'Yeah, I think you mean more like joy, relief, freedom and a little bit of this: P-PERKERCHH-KERCHH-KERCHH (shoots off pistoleros).

K: The human mind is complex.
A: Yeah well the Gary mind is powered by a hamster on a wheel so...

Kids are hungry:
G: Didn't I feed you guys twice already. Wow, you guys are expensive pets, I'll tell ya that.

V: You say 'Allison and I' all the time.
G: Really. Should it be Allison and Me?

G: I swear on my kids lives.
(to kids)
G: Hey guys, be real careful the next few days okay?

G: How do I say the name of your restaurant? Is it Pla-Tay? Really? It's just Plate? That's the best you guys could come up with was Plate?

Allison does a shot by herself.
A: Whoo! Okay that's only fun with other people.

A: Okay Nadia, let's see what your damn secret is all about. (READS) 'At first glance the manor house appeared drab to Nadia...' (skips pages) 'No longer a stable boy, he had grown in the strong handsome man...' (skips pages) 'Tears open her bodice...' (skips pages) 'Pulsating manhood...' (skips to the end) 'As he wept over her dying body' -- Oh FERGODSAKES." (tosses the book)

G: I'll never forget May 31st 1992 cuz I was in her and the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen walked through those doors.
A: Gary...
G: And then you came in right behind her.

K: "You've got your finger on the button of your own happiness!"

What an awesome show! It works so well because Jay is a really sweet guy and it definitely comes through in Gary. I love his sarcasm. And only Paula could play Allison. Together Gary and Allison are the perfect bickering couple And yes, every once in awhile Gary's "DOMINATE!" pops into my head. Keeps me laughing throughout the day!

Gary and Allison Brooks ep. was a little light in terms of favorite lines, but this is tops:

A: So the Russian poet Shoveasockinit?
G: You know his muse was his wife, Oftenisabitch.

Other great lines:

Allison and Beth, the comic book villain, greet each other with high pitch squeals that girls do.
G: Ah, isn't it nice when dolphins meet?

A: Thank you, Carebear.
G: You're welcome, Al-batross.

Aw. Breaks my heart.
A: I can't believe you, Gary. I ask you to do one thing and you couldn't do it. I knew I couldn't count on you.

G: I'd like to renew my vows with Allison right now.
A: No, no we're good.
G: We're real good--
A: --I can't stand you.
G: I can't stand here and act like the times we spent together haven't been the best, because they have.
A: I will kill you.
G: And Allison will kill me if I didn't mention that our house is amazing...etc.
A: Shove a sock in it.
G: You know the Russian Poet Shoveasockinit: he said, "love, like vodka, should flow freely between two lovers" and that's what it's like with me and Allison.
... People clap...
A: They want us to kiss.
G: Yeah, I should have thought this through more.

Awww.
G: Plus I hate it when people pick you. I always have.
A: What are you talking about? You did for fifteen years.
G: Yeah, but I'm like really good at it.

Signed,
Prof. Oftenisabitch.

Shovasockinit? Yes his wife was his muse Oftenisabitch.
