I could never get into AD, but I think that wasn't because it wasn't relatable because they were selfish characters or whatever. I think it was because I couldn't relate to the lifestyle they were coming from. I understand assholes from the city who throw beer bottles at a guy on a bike and shout outside your window at 1 in the morning because I've known people like that.

Yeah, definitely agree with this. Could be a social class thing.

Laughing right now, because I do think a lot of the humor did indeed come from the lifestyle/social class thing. While I did think Arrested Development was kind of funny, watching (relatively) rich people whine about their lives made me want to punch something.

In IASIP, I found a lot of their actual problems to be pretty easy to relate to, and I think that's what endeared them to me.

I've never watched AD and never will for the very reason that from what I've heard about it, that's exactly what it is: a bunch of 'oh, whoa is me' from formerly rich jerks. We get enough of that IRL from currently rich jerks. And being completely unable to relate to either group of people, I'll give it a pass.

Rich people whining about their lives is what makes AD so funny to me. I always get a chuckle at Lindsay complaining about how poor they are when she realizes they no longer have a plane or yacht. It's ridiculous.

It's a bit of schadenfreude, really; but yu do end up caring for those eich assholes.

a lot of Arrested Development's humor comes from laughing at the upper class though. the whole show's basically one big joke at how selfish and clueless-to-social-issues the upper class can be. you don't really need to relate to it. (i'd argue that the show would be less funny if you were upper class).
