"Oh here, here. In the dark, it all looks the same."
Words like these have made Tobias Funke one of television's strange characters. Played by David Cross, Funke was the first licensed analyst/therapist, or analrapist, turned wanna be actor on Mitchell Hurwitz's Arrested Development.
The thing that makes Tobias so funny is the way he interacts socially. He is completly oblivious to so much of what is going on around him and the things he says. Funke will spout out sentances like "Michael, you really are quite the cupid. You can zink your arrow into my buttocks any time" without realizing that his statment might be interpreted in more than one way.
He is incredibly outgoing, but lacks real social skills. It's like watching someone new to a country try and figure out a new culture, new sayings, and new social behaviors but instead of being a forigner he is just an idiot. It's good fun.
