The Gene Parmesan Game

If you've never seen Arrested Development, shame on you. Now go rent all three seasons and come back to this blog when you're done. Finished, good. So, you know how Gene is the Bluth's private detective, and that Lucille (1) always gets fooled by Gene's lame disguises. It cracks me up how the only time she laughs on that show is when she's yelling "AAH, it's Gene Parmesan!" Well, now you can inject that kind of reaction into your friend's.


Here's how you play the Gene Parmesan game.

1. Go online and find a picture of Gene in one of his disguises.

2. Send an email to a friend (it helps if they're a fan of the show) the subject line should give some clue about Gene's disguise.

3. The body of the email should read "AAAHH! It's Gene Parmesan!" with a picture of Gene.


Then, when your friend opens the email they've been outsmarted by everyone's favorite private detective. Now they're it, and it's their turn to Gene Parmesan you. Don't volley back and forth too quickly, it should be more like a sneak attack. Send the email when you know they're having a hectic day, or before they even get into work. You want them to see the subject line thinking "What the #@?%" Not, "Oh, crap, I'm about to get Gene Pamesan-ed".



For example, my subject line for this picture might be Feel like mexican tonight? or OLE!

Now go Gene Parmesan someone already!!!!

Update: There are very few pictures of Martin Mull online suprisingly enough. I find it's still fun, even if you have to recycle a photo, as long as you use a witty new subject line to lure your prey.
