Arrested Development's Longest Self-Reference

"Afternoon Delight" from season 2 starts out with the Banana Stand being destroyed with "I get you Bluth!" graffiti'ed on the side. Who on the show speaks in such broken English? Annyong! In the series finale, season 3, we learn that Annyong was spying on the Bluth's to seek revenge on Lucille who stole Annyong's father's banana stand idea.
I am astounded that after seeing each episode half-a-dozen times I still pick up new references. Arrested Development is basically The Bible Code. All of life's mysteries are answered on this show if you only look close enough.
