consummated his marriage. Barry then says: "I missed breakfast, so I'm on my way to Burger King," and then jumps over the shark on the pier. Gob later meets with his wife and tells her that he plans to tell the court this, but they end up having sex. Michael and Buster stake out the Motherboy dance, looking for a chance to create a diversion and take George Michael home. They confront Lucille, and she takes on Buster as a dance partner when Michael leaves with his son. When Motherboy ends, Michael takes George Michael to the camping trip to see his girlfriend. On the next Arrested Development... Gob argues his case in court that his marriage was never consummated, but his wife shows a recently taken picture of him next to her with his shirt pulled over his head. The judge says there’s no way to tell who it is, but Gob admits that it’s him, causing his lawyer to leave the room. Jumping the shark Henry Winkler notes that Barry's "hopping" over the shark on the pier is a reference to the phrase Jumping the shark, which was coined by Jon Hein in response to Season Five, Episode 3, "Hollywood: Part 3" of the sitcom Happy Days (19741984), when his character Fonzie jumps over a shark while on water-skis. Winkler notes that he is "the only actor, maybe in the world, that has jumped the shark twice — once on Happy Days, and once on Arrested Development.” Burger King promotion One of Fox's corporate sponsors was Burger King, who provided promotional consideration for Arrested Development. Carl Weathers informs Tobias that you can refill your drink for free at the restaurant, and Tobias calls it a "wonderful restaurant". A poster promoting the then-new Spicy Tendercrisp Chicken Sandwich can be seen in the background. The episode was originally named "The Tendercrisp Chicken Comedy Half Hour". Reception Critical reception The A.V. Club writer Noel Murray called the episode "one of the funniest and ballsiest episodes in the entire run of Arrested Development". In 2019, Vulture writer Brian Tallerico ranked the episode 6th out of the series' 84 episodes. Accolades "Motherboy XXX" was nominated for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series at the 57th Primetime Emmy Awards.
