Arrested Development is behind only The Simpsons and Seinfeld when it comes to creating fake TV shows and movies (I’m sorry, but Do Shut Up/Knightboat and Prognosis Negative/Chunnel Boyfights), so this should make anyone who’s ever wanted Caged Wisdom to actually exist very happy. According to Splitsider:
Netflix’s “Watch Instantly” just added a bunch of fake movies and TV shows from the first three seasons of Arrested Development to the streaming service. Titles like Girls with Low Self Esteem: Newport Beach, Les Cousins Dangereux, Scandalmakers, and Boyfights appear as “Watch Instantly” options. (Via)
Unfortunately, if you click on the titles, they just lead to Netflix’s normal Arrested Development page — although earlier today, according to Vulture, you could watch a “very, very, very bizarre eleven-minute video, in which an actor moonwalks, juggles, and performs a monologue from Julias Caesar by a fountain…that’s just Netflix’s test footage”; sounds like Tony Wonder’s up to something — but it’s a nice reminder that new AD episodes will soon break the Internet in 2013. ISN’T THIS DUMB YEAR OVER WITH YET. Besides, Netflix forgot some classics.
He just wants his kids back, guys.

Didn’t Fox end up actually airing a show called “World’s Worst Drivers” (the name may have been a bit different) shortly after AD was cancelled?
I’m pretty sure you can put “World’s Worst _______” and fill the blank with anything, and Fox aired it at some point between 1999 and 2004.
Im pretty sure there’s a marathon of that on TruTV right now, if not there will be one tomorrow.
I believe there was both one of those specials where they show police footage of terrible drivers and a reality competition to be crowned the world’s worst driver.
WORLD’S WORST NETWORK, AMIRITE?
But, seriously, no, Fox is quite good.
And then there’s auction that just popped up on Ebay today for a pair of Tobias’ actual Never Nude screen worn shorts with COA from Fox.

No one touches 30 Rock when it comes to fake TV shows/movies:
- Black Frasier
- Black Cop, White Cop
- MILF Island
- Who Dat Ninja?
- Bitch Hunter
Don’t forget “Jackie Jorpjomp” and my personal favorite, “The Rural Juror”
Are You Smarter Than a Dog?
Urban Fervor
I’d watch the shit out of Black Frasier.
What time is Black Frasier on?
America’s Kidz Got Singing
This honky Grandma be trippin!
President Homeboy
America’s Next Top Pirate
The Chunks 2: A Very Chunky Christmas
Bitch Hunter will never not make me laugh hysterically.
AD also only had 2 1/2 seasons, whereas 30 Rock has had 6.
That Netflix test footage described has been floating around their Watch Instant options for quite awhile now. I remember stumbling across it 2 or more years ago.
I discovered it earlier this year and added it to my queue. Just to see how long it takes them to yank it.
I thoroughly enjoyed visiting ImOscar.com when it still existed. I’m pretty sure they had a few other websites to come into existence which were featured on the show.
I was excited/confused when I first saw these on netflix… [www.redbubble.com]
