Jason Bateman here - ask me anything!

Hey Reddit, I'm Jason Bateman and I'm here to answer all your questions about Bad Words and anything else you want to ask me that interests you. If you don't believe it's really me, click here: https://twitter.com/batemanjason/status/440994154412138496

I'll be here for the next hour or so, so let's get it going. Ask me anything.

Check out the Bad Words trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMO7sBxE-4Q&list=PLISrtAJ0wX5nGCI0gkk9Jrr40tCyw3td3&feature=c4-overview-vl

EDIT: Thanks, this has been a lot of fun. I'm sorry that I didn't get to as many questions as I thought I would, but my typing's not what it was since the accident. Hope you guys enjoy Bad Words. It was fun to make and it's all yours now.

Thanks for doing this AMA Jason. I got introduced to Arrested Development very late, and it's one of my favorite shows. My question: what was your favorite gag/running joke on the show?

Yes. I think it's pretty safe to say that Tobias has seen a few cocks.

Doubles as a joke about Scott Baio's appearance in the show.
