Radar / Arrested Development

Arrested Development is the stealth bomber flagship of this trope, with some extremely risky jokes played throughout the series.

Season 1

• In "Bringing Up Buster", Lucille refers to Michael using the corn-baller as "cornholing".
• In "Storming the Castle", Tobias in "leather daddy" outfit tries to get to the magician's venue "Gothic Castle", but the taxi driver mishears him and drops him at an S&M club, the "Gothic Asshole". The taxi driver says the name out loud to confirm, but he gets away with it because of his thick accent.
• In "Pier Pressure", the series managed to show GOB exhaling marijuana smoke while not showing him actually taking a drag.
• In "Beef Consommé", the series actually managed to get Country Matters aired uncensored due to turning it into a Last-Second Word Swap.
  Lindsay: That’s my point, you... handsome cowboy, you.
  Tobias: Oh, great. And now you’re mocking me. You selfish... coun.. try-music-loving lady. Hello, Maeby.
  Maeby: Nice cover. Why don’t you two just get a divorce and save us all a lot of grief?
• White Power Bill meeting Tobias for the first time ("Staff Infection").
  White Power Bill: Who's this [bleep]?
  Tobias: It's been awhile since someone called me a tyke.

Season 2

• From "The One Where They Build a House", when Lucille enters while GOB and Michael are arguing about GOB's recent purchase of a boat, The Seaward:
  Michael: Get rid of The Seaward.
  Lucille: I'll leave when I'm good and ready.
  • Later episodes have a boat actually called "The C-Word". It's worth noting that, in addition to the usual meaning, the word is also a Leaning on the Fourth Wall reference to "cancelled", a constant threat to the series.
• In a deleted scene from "Good Grief", we have this exchange when Michael realises George Michael isn't working at the Banana Stand:
  Michael: George Michael is not at the banana stand.
  GOB: Well, he's got a girlfriend now. Maybe she's making his banana stand.
• In "Sad Sack", it's eventually revealed that the picture of the Iraq landscapes being used as evidence against the Bluth family, which has been shown on-screen multiple times, is actually a close-up picture of Tobias' scrotum, which he accidentally took while trying to figure out how to use his new phone.
• In "Afternoon Delight", we see GOB saying "—cking $6300 suit! Come on!. Five minutes later, we see a flashback ending with GOB saying "No, Al, I want to spill booze all over my fu—".
  • In the same episode, Michael meets up with Oscar, and tries to convince him to get back together with Lucille, by referring to "Afternoon Delight", which as he just found out the hard way, is a metaphor for sex used in the similarly named song. Oscar, however thinks he is referring to a brand of marijuana with the same name, leading to this exchange, which is risky even by the show's standards:
  Oscar: Well, sure. The question is, which way do I try to get it in her?
  Michael: I don’t need any details.
  Oscar: Maybe I’ll put it in her brownie.
  Michael: Hey!
  • Not to mention the fact that a subplot in the episode is literally about the characters realizing that the song, Afternoon Delight, is inconspicously inappropriate.
• Maeby refers to the so-called Mrs. Featherbottom as Mr. Fingerbottom. ("The Immaculate Election")
• In "Righteous Brothers", while Michael is in custody for allegedly attempting to flee the country (when it was actually Gob holding a picture of Michael in front of his face):
  Michael: Since you're devastating people, why don't you go tell Gob that I'll be telling the cops that it was him in the truck, so he'll be joining me here. I've got a nice, hard cot with his name on it.
  Lucille: You'd do that to your own brother?
  Michael: ...I said 'cot'!

Season 3

• "The Cabin Show" has one that's also a Stealth Pun. It's implied that Lindsay did a Cheek Copy at a Bluth Company celebration. She shows Michael a picture of that, thinking it's a picture of a car she's interested in, leading to this exchange:
  Lindsay: We did it, Mikey! We're super-rich again. And I'm going to buy a car. The Volvo. [hands Michael a piece of paper]
  Michael: No, Lindsay, you're not going to start spending money. [looks at paper] And this is not a Vol-vo.
  • Another Stealth Pun: she later changes her mind about that car because it's "too boxy."
  • That whole episode is laden with innuendo. Michael in particular has some real gems.
    Michael [to George Michael]: Why don't you pop a tent in front with your cousin? It might be a good chance for you to rub off on her.
    
    Michael [after learning that Kitty was cheating on Tobias with a Blue Man]: It all makes sense now. Dad's in Reno, Kitty's in Reno, Dad's in Kitty, and Dad's a Blue Man.
  • And when talking about the summer home on wheels:
  Michael: Maybe you can take a date up there!
  Lucille: How am I supposed to find someone willing to go into that musty old claptrap?
  (incredibly long awkward pause)
  Michael: (suddenly) The cabin! Yes. That will be difficult, too.
• In "Notapusy", they managed to actually get Rita to call Michael a 'pussy' (bleeped, but still intelligible) because it was actually "a British word for a kind or gentle man". ^note It's not, but it let them get it on the air.
  Narrator: I can't believe we had to bleep that. It would have been such a nice moment.
  • The title of the episode may itself count, though they seem to have had to remove an "s".
• And let’s not forget about Buster's uncensored "If mother sees this, she will blow a cow" (from "Mr. F"). ^note Actually, in the DVD commentary, series creator Mitch Hurwitz notes this is a little stealthy joke: The narrator points out George Senior slips by the sensors (by crawling into a duct that he had accidentally discovered behind the kitchen fridge) right before Buster utters his phrase.
• When Michael has demonstrated concern for his mother as she prepares to seduce the prison warden ("Prison Break-In"):
  Lucille: I want to cry, but...I don't think I can spare the moisture.
  • Tobias's condition throughout the entire episode is incredibly gross. At one point, he literally has blood squirring out of his eyes! And this is a sitcom!!
• The deleted joke from "Good Grief" (season 2, above) was later reused and broadcast for real in "Making a Stand".
  Gob: Attention, everyone! Why go to a banana stand when we can make your banana stand? I give you Barbara and Dee! Don’t worry; these young beauties have been nowhere near the bananas.
• When Michael hires his prostitute/possible sister to work at the Bluth Company, he calls to check what the employees think of her ("Family Ties").
  Michael (On the phone): Well, you forgot to say "away." (To Lindsay) Nellie is blowing them all away.
• From the finale, Tobias has hired the Hot Cops (a troupe of male strippers) as entertainment for a party on a yacht.
  Tobias: I'll tell the Hot Cops to come up with something more nautically themed. Hot sailors, or better yet, hot sea--
  Michael: Uh... I like 'hot sailors'.
  Tobias: Me too.
  Narrator: And George Michael was about to encounter a hot sea-man of his own.
  • Later in that episode, Lucille tries to get the Hot Sailors to help her escape by running the yacht's engines.
    Lucille: You boys know how to shovel coal?
    Narrator: I don't even want to tell you what they thought she meant.

Season 4

• In "Off the Hook", Buster and Lucille 2 are talking about their relationship. The camera cuts away to a janitor in the hallway during this part of the exchange:
  Lucille 2: Buster, that was innuendo. My lord, it's like we're speaking different languages here.
  Buster: No it's not, it is working. I'm getting hungry.
  Lucille 2: For love?
  Buster: Is this another one of those nights where nothing is as it seems and there's no cream pie for dessert?
• In "Red Hairing", Lucille 2 reminisces about how she used to wear a wig for an old lover (later implied to be Buster):
  Lucille 2: He was the Captain and I was...
  Lindsay: Tenille?
  Lucille 2: And not make eye contact, yes!

Season 5

• When Lucille mentions that her new lover Dusty "tickled her fancy", Gob wonders in disgusted horror what part of Lucille the "fancy" is.
• Buster thinks Barry said Lucille was frolicking with her friend Dusty.

Unsorted/Multiple Seasons

• Tobias has many examples, including "teabagging" and "Uncle T-Bag" ("Prison Break-In", S3E07). Actually any of Tobias' unintentional double entendres qualify since they're made without the character's knowledge. This example from "The One Where Michael Leaves" (S2E01):
  Tobias: I'm afraid I just blue myself. ^context While covered in blue paint for his role as an understudy for the Blue Man Group
  • or ("¡Amigos!", S2E03):
    Tobias: I figured if I blue myself early, I'd be nice and relaxed for a 9 o'clock dinner reservation.
• At their 40th wedding anniversary George is slapping a person on the stomach who is standing very still. "If they move they don't get paid." George then proceeds to slap the person someplace else more painful.
