GOB was so great in Key Decisions. Everything from his vacillation about Marta, to his doing the prison escape for a publicity stunt, to his being jealous about his dad not playing catch with him, was excellent.

And then White Power Bill stabbed him to get revenge for the dirty ears thing, saying "White Power!"

GOB's groan of "I'm white" as he sank down was perfect.

I loved his little "ta-da!" That had me laughing through the entire commercial break.

Another perfect example of Will's ability to make GOB funny and sad at the same time.

Cress

Yeah, he totally rocks as GOB! The writers are good at adding depth too. In a lesser sitcom, GOB would just be a stereotypical villain, but in AD, we get to see the many layers of GOB.

i never really thought of GOB as a villain. i just thought of him as misunderstud and selfish at times

*iva*

Cress

Okay, maybe not an outright villain, but he would definitely come across as being selfish, lazy, and a pig when it comes to women.

But on AD he's three dimensional and well developed. Misunderstood is a good word for him. He clearly craves love and approval from his family, and he is sometimes nice when you don't expect it, and like in that speech where he tried to be the head of the family, realized that he couldn't handle the stress of being that important.

Cursed

I agree with you Cress, on any other show he would be the guy you love to hate or just plain the guy you hate to hate. But on AD, we get to see so much about him and his family that you can't help but like him. That's how superior the writing on this show is. And a lot of credit is due to Will for adding a lot of depth in his pitch-perfect portrayal of GOB.

Plus, it doesn't hurt that the man is a handsome devil with a sexy voice

Cress

Yeah, he's hot!! I can't wait to see him perform more stripper-like magic acts.

Cursed

...or just strip!

That's what I'd like to see anyway

spazzie

We need more GOB in the Hot Cop outfit

*~*Sparkle*~*

Hot Cops! The first episode I ever saw was Pier Pressure, I couldn't stop laughing.

Will is definately the perfect Gob. It's true that I can't help but feel sympathy for him even though he's such a cad, but I think that's true of all the characters on the show; the writing is so great.

Hmm that voice...

Chelsea

Cursed

He should spend an entire season in that outfit

They should get Will to replace James Earl Jones as the voice of CNN It could lead to Will doing stuff like books-on-tape. I'd buy "War & Peace" on tape if it meant listening to Will's voice for hours and hours.

i just watched Will have a dance off with Jack in Will and Grace. and to think stripping and magic was his only talent

spazzie

Yeah, he was great on Will & Grace. I usually don't watch W&G and I forgot that he was going to guest star, but I caught it by chance. Lucky me.

Cress

Oh no! I forgot to watch and I missed it!
