The brilliance of Arrested Development lies in the fact that there are multiple levels of jokes within jokes.

There are the normal jokes.
Recurrence jokes.
Inside jokes.
Jokes based on the parts the actors have performed previously (jumping the shark, the comb thing, the narrator defending his previous works, etc...)
Jokes based on events at the time (Mission Accomplished!)
Jokes based on relationships of actors IRL. (Check out who Will Arnett's wife is and who the actor who plays Nellie is)
Jokes based on the fact that the show was being cancelled (Yeah, HBO doesn't want us)
Etc....

:D

I've never watched Happy Days , but I know the Fonz's character . Didn't know that Barry scene was an "easter egg" :lol

No they weren't, but yes, you should watch 2 and 3, although I suspect they may be too good for you

He does a chicken call when he's in the cage after Gob's magic trick outside the courthouse.

Ahh ok, thought it meant he did the chicken dance as well. Thanks!
