This clip is the perfect example of why I love Arrested Development. The juxtaposition of emotions is perfect. It brings the characters to life and helps form an emotional bond between them and the viewers. This is also the key to the success of The Office. Using drama, as shown in the clip below, adds so much more depth to the characters and ultimately makes them more funny.
This same technique has also been subtly used to perfection by the writers of The Office with the development of Michael Scott. It also made me really happy to see this same technique being applied to Dwight K. Schrute in the episode last night. As Dwight's character gains depth he becomes more and more funny to me.
