I'm so glad this guy is famous, I've thought he was hilarious since Arrested Development and I'm glad Superbad is huge. Have you guys watched his youtube video, something like The Opposite of Impossible is Possible or something. Aw man, I just love him.

PS: diablocody, what part did you have in the movie?

I quote that line way too often.

I've been looking everywhere for it and of course I can't find it, but I decided I love this kid (beyond his role as George Michael on Arrested Development) when I saw an interview with him somewhere online and the picture he submitted to go along with the interview was hilarious - It is a picture of some dude in a restaurant with a parrot on his shoulder. When I first saw it, I thought it was an error and they ran the wrong picture, but then I looked a bit closer and you can see Michael Cera just over the parrot dude's shoulder in the background, sitting in a booth, grinning for the camera. For some reason that struck me as hilarious that he decided on that picture to run with the article.

I also love when Ann ("....Her?") breaks up with him outside the banana stand, and he lets out this delayed-reaction yelp. HILARIOUS.

I think it was on one of the Arrested Development commentary tracks, where someone said that he was the most professional actor on the show, always staying in character until the director says "cut", even when everybody else was cracking up.

I love that, and it says a lot about not only his professionalism, but also his ability.

That scene makes me cry with laughter. And I loved the way they cut away right after he starts crying - for some reason it makes it about a million times funnier. That and the way Ann/Hog/Egg nearly jumps out of her skin when he lets out that yelp.

My other favorite George Michael - Ann related scene was the one where he's describing to his father the way Ann like to eat boiled eggs and mayo (the mayon-egg). He's just so earnest and sincere in his delight over Ann's cuteness and that combined with the look of horror on his father's face makes it comedy gold.

He looks just like my best friend's little brother. I just want to pinch his cheeks.

The first thing I saw him in was when he did a guest stint on Veronica Mars, and he totally cracks me up. I really need to get around to seeing Superbad.

Thank you, BoroKat! ;D

My favorite George Michael moment is when he falls asleep in the stair car in Reno. Awww.

Hells yeah! A Michael Cera thread!

And since my favorite AD quote has already been uttered (What a fun, sexy time for you!), I will offer up this:

Clark and Michael

Wee!
