Question for super fans re. Gob


I call Gob (talking pronunciation)... Gob with a G.

My daughter corrects me and says it's just pronounced 'Job'.

I know his name is Gob (pronounced Job) but do AD fans call him Gob (with a G) because I have always since the show first aired.

So Gob like Job or Gob? :)

Another good question to ask is why does he say GOB Bluth? Isn't that redundant? The B in GOB is for Bluth. So it's like saying George Oscar Bluth Bluth Jr.

True, but it's supposed to be a bit of a take off of JEB, who we refer to as Jeb Bush, which is redundant as well. John Ellis Bush Bush.

There's a joke in season 4 regarding the likeness of Gob and Job:

Gob is at a bar talking to Steve Holt (who he doesn't recognize), and laments all the bad things that keep happening to him "like that guy in the Bible."

The bartender overhears and says "Job" to which Gob responds "What?" as if he is being addressed.
